we should tell george W bush that there is weapons of mass destruction due south of north korea by about three fiddy miles, and watch the republicant machine do the math and attack aus . . .
We actually helped the US quite a bit in the development of nuclear weapons.
There were even joint tests of the coast of WA.

from twitterIf we want high speed rail, we need to a migration intake of about 350,000 a year for the next 20 years to make it economic.Sounds OK to me!
would be fine by me

He also suggested officers on Customs and Navy boats in remote international waters would be given the job of deciding whether asylum seekers were genuine.
Senator Johnston said on Thursday that the opposition would spend $1.5 billion on seven drones and aim to have them patrolling Australia's waters and international waters within four to five years.
/sarcasm
They'll be up there anyway, might as well use them to keep track of illegal migrants.
Saying we'll have them to repel the asian hordes is an Abbott gimmick though.

I don't live in Manly, but if I wanted to go there... 25 mins by car or 1.5hours by our 'great' public transport at peak times, could be double or more late at night/early morning. Going to work 5-15mins by car depending on traffic, 40-50 by public transport.Cybargs wrote:
Yeah but thats because you live in Manly. If you live near a rail link your life is good. Aussies just love to whinge about things, jesus it's not that bad. At least you're not getting packed like sardines on the trains in sydney.
The ONLY time public transport is a preferable option is going to the CBD, during peak hours and when you have nothing big/heavy/bulky to carry. Getting my licence and car has literally saved me weeks in traveling time and given me the freedom to go anywhere I like when ever I like for probably less expense.
Public transports like this: unless you live near a train station, it's pretty much good luck hi5. you should've picked a better place to live brah.DrunkFace wrote:

Fact is a majority of people don't live near train stations, and for those who do they're only good if your destination happens to be near another train station (preferably on the same line so you don't need to change trains).
I know I know. I was saying public transport is good enough if you're there for the weekend/on vacation.DrunkFace wrote:

I disagree, unless you want to be extremely limited in what you see/do. Or are willing to fork over hundreds of dollars in cab fares.

It's just another waste of billions of dollars to grab a few more votes from the bigot right.
Were gonna get drones anyway. they're going to be an integral part of 21st century warfare. I doubt the gov is going to spend "billions" to stop asylum seekers. It's mostly for anti-drug smuggling and other border security ops. I can see catching asylum seekers would be practice for the navy.Jaekus wrote:

Likewise we don't have a navy solely to catch illegal migrants - its peripheral and gives them something to do.Cybargs wrote:

yeah it's entirely political, aimed at western sydney bogans.
meanwhile, the govt decides to bring the stupid by deciding to fund their (good!) education spending program with... tertiary education cuts.
boggles the mind sometimes.

The RAAF was already planning on replacing it's Orions with a mixture of new P8s and UAVs to fulfil maritime patrol requirements. This has been in the works for many years now the coalition is just saying "hey guys I swear this was our idea first".
It's natural to patrol our maritime areas, as cybargs said there are many other reasons to do so. This is just an easy headline for the coalition.

How about that?
So:
The govt will put more money into education move some money around
Teachers unions will demand a pay rise and soak it all up
Nothing will be achieved - except higher education will be poorer
I'm not sure really, there seems to be bundles of cash swilling around universities, and primary and secondary education for that matter.

So now every uni student need to fork at least 500 dollars up front. No more 10% (used to be 20%) discount on paying upfront. Great that just killed my incentive to pay upfront.Dilbert_X wrote:

Labour just lost their base vote. Great job guys.
And fuck the coalition for pretending the whole drones thing was their idea. Yeah you came up with it all by yourself.
The Liberal Party: Forgetting that crime is a state issue and forgetting that they govern NSW. This either shows an incredible ignorance of Australia's constitutional arrangements, (kind of like Tony's pledge to refuse votes of sitting MPs,) or a lowest-of-the-low attempt to shove off their failing as Labor's fault.
Also, linking asylum seekers with crime rates? Really?
On this school funding reform thing - it's going to be another chance for Labor to completely balls up communicating a policy. I mean school funding is a good thing, the deal is solid even if the Liberal Premiers will piss and moan a lot, and the amount it is going to cost tertiary institutions is fairly minimal, (especially when you consider the amount of money the Labor Government has put into tertiary institutions during their term.) From what I've seen so far on their efforts selling it though? Labor will explain what they're doing, sure, but they'll do a poor job of promoting it. Meanwhile the non-tertiary teaching bodies will support it, the tertiary teaching bodies will voice their concerns, and the Coaliiton will launch some unrelated attack linking it with economic management or the carbon tax. Voters will be left confused and frustrated and blame the Government for it and Labor will see a further dip in the polls over a policy that in any other country would be lauded.
