Why is this place so shit when it comes to producing good media?

For all it’s problems, america still seems like a comfier place to live then Aus. Outside the major cities of course.

Climate wise? I'd rather live in NSW, in like 3/4 of the US the summers are nasty swampy humid. In the whole southern half of the country people live like vampires and don't go outside all summer long.

yeah but that's old people, they want to live in a sauna 24/7. it's also relatively warm there all year round, no one wants to do anything outside after it goes from 70 to 105 on the heat index in a few weeks

*outside everywhere

I know, I love how empty the beaches are in the summertime in the US.

you said something stupid and people called you on it, you could stop now and don't reply to this if you think it's so moronic.
we will graciously accept your concession.

>mountain climbing
Everything you said is moronic but this one is particularly moronic. You don't wait until winter to go mountain climbing. It's best to do it in good, warm weather so you have less chance of dying.

Does southern California count?

The cities still feel fairly safe to me, wouldn't expect them to remain that way for long but i still wander about like i would when i lived rurally.

That's why you go to a white outback down dumbass. Don't go anywhere abos are allowed.

I'm from a rural town. Drug addicts are pretty minor.

t. Inner suburb Labor voter who voted for the Voice and thinks dark emu is real.

Where in the country? Northern Territory doesn't count, its well known as a shithole and there are plenty of better places.

I live in a 99% white town and there's frick all crime here.

>cut it by 30k.
Just another lie

>Basically

more people = more gdp and higher property prices

Australia is fricked as long as everyone in parliament has multiple investment properties, immigration is unironically "good" for the economy in that it increases it's size
You're halfway there.

Immigration is "good" for the "economy" because when a third world immigrant arrives, they lack one thing, DEBT. The government wants immigration because the native population is at a point that is called DEBT SATURATED. As in, they cannot take on more debt and therefore cannot grow our farce of a so-called economy. Immigrants can take on debt, natives cannot.
Because we allow Fractional Reserve banking with a ZERO POINT ZERO percent reserve, every single dollar of debt an immigrant takes on is a dollar created out of literally nowhere, and that's how our "economy" has kept "growing".

The moment the flood of thirdies stops out economy goes completely breasts up because it's been chronically mismanaged since 1947.

>current raging debate about how to transition away from fossil fuel
>average normie is passionate about it
>a large increase in population makes it harder and more expensive
it's not a huge leap, there's a lot of potential to trojan horse "Sustainable Australia" with white Australia polices

Voted out.

Who was then voted back in. Following this she was removed for Rudd who lost the election. Guess what happened? He was voted out.

he still kisses israelite arse and cries about white racism even after they did so he's a joke

Read what I said again you dumb c**t. Massive amounts of money were dumped int the economy to try to tread water, money we will be repaying for decades. Think of it like those divorced guys who quit their job and max out the credit cards having fun for a year.

It was fricking garbage

>trying to pretend global warming will turn australia into a desert
>it's too green to film in

wait till you find out how many israelites are in hollywood

So do they make fun of the greens or not? Post some funny clips.

Well then post some funny clips making fun of "wokeness". Let us all laugh at the lunacy.

The only divide was between ACT and everywhere else

On a state and territory level, but on an electorate level the divide was stark and very different to the divide of federal elections.
As you can see in this image all the wealthier harbor and coastal electorates voted yes while the poorer Western suburbs voted no.

Compare that to the federal election where the inner city and outer suburbs both voted Labor. And it's the same in the regions. All the Labor voting regional electorates in NSW and Victoria voted No, while all the independent and even Liberal voting electorates in the inner city voted Yes. This referendum tore away the decades old party loyalty and was a pure reflection of leftist vs conservative social attitudes amongst Australians.

Agreed and that reveals the weakness of the Australian political system.
In the US when the Republicans had grown out of touch with the desires of the American people, Trump could simply force his way into their leadership by challenging them in the primaries.
There is no such mechanism in Australia to course correct a failing political party. There is a seriously underserved market in politics but the barrier to entry is too high to take advantage of it. Australians are rightfully apprehensive about giving the keys to the country to an unproven minor party. It would be much better if we could vote in the leader of the major parties instead so that they could take over the political machines that frankly take decades and even centuries to build.

>I also think compulsory voting and such in Australia is better than voluntary
have a nice day

We're stuck will Liberal and Labor because the majority don't give enough of a frick to know what's going on and are pissed of they have to be there in the first place. Compulsory voting only enforces mediocrity.

>I also think compulsory voting and such in Australia is better than voluntary in the US. You are required to take part in your democracy on at least some minimal level, which keeps you from being completely apathetic outside a small base and requires chasing the centre of your country more than the fanatic fringes.
You could not be more wrong, anon

>There is no such mechanism in Australia to course correct a failing political party.
Yes there is and you pointed it out:
>Australians are rightfully apprehensive about giving the keys to the country to an unproven minor party
Australians get what they deserve... although the minor parties are at fault here too... and anyway, you're wrong. Greens are a minor party, they regularly get senators, MPs, and once controlled gov't. Minor parties get the balance of power in the senate all the time.
Aussies need to stop being gays and vote for One Nation, Family First, Great Australia, literally any right-wing meme party - especially the ones who want to cut migration. And the minor parties need to stop being gays and present an electable united front
That is the way the Liberals will be brought round, the same way the Greens pulled Labor leftwards

Constitutional alterations are hard to get passed, the country is fundamentally divided between communists and normal people, and the electorate includes (by force) the 30+% of people who can't hardly fricking read let alone grasp parliamentary procedure

You basically do have a minor party becoming a major party in those teal people. They're all run by one guy, all that needs to happen is formally registering so they stop all being "independent".

>common funding
>common policies
>common branding
>shared organisational structure
>somehow not a political party
Who bets that if Clive Palmer had tried that the AEC would've shut him down

50 or even 25 years is a massive timescale in modern politics.
But of course you're right that in theory there is nothing forcing the Australian political system to be a two party system. But in practice that is what we have. There is a psychological effect to having this paradigm for so long that acts as a barrier to entry for political ideas that neither major party (or yes, the Greens now too) are willing to endorse.
The ability for a candidate with even the most radical views to wear the badge of Republican or Democrat by challenging in a primary is an undeniable advantage to such a candidate. In essense a party's policy position is voted on by the public before that policy is then taken to a general election. By contrast an Australian party is incentivised to keep their policy as close to the centre as possible while still differentiating themselves from their major competitors. And sure, if they do this to a fault then a minor party can start to eat away at their vote and in doing so pressure them to go further but compared to the US where a candidate is forced to go through a primary, this is a slow and inefficient process burdened by a marketing disadvantage and which ultimately doesn't even remove or replace the ineffectual party members from power, but rather forces them to shift their policy closer to what the people want. So you end up with the same spineless grubs in power at the end of the day.

i can't think of a single prominent australian online person except friendlyjordies (who got fricking firebombed for milquetoast shit, can you imagine any usa video blogger getting firebombed.) also our internet infrastructure is shit and peak australian times for streaming are shit numbers because the internet is built around american timezones.
