This shit is crazy thanks for letting me know

Who on the house floor actually occupies this position. It's only rhetoric used in debate netween regular people.

This doesn't stop anything though again. Unless you tax them out of business, they will still be a monopoly and will fix prices for their profit. Less profit is still profit.

If you tax them too high they will either seek recourse via illegally bribing politicians (or "lobbying") to have those taxes removed, or monopolise with legally distinct businesses where wealth is concentrated in the few regardless.

It's a fantasy though. An extremely competitive market would be nice, but in reality it would be a race to the bottom and those who started with more cash would win out, buy up or starve the competition and monopolise, giving them the extra space to be lazy and pass on profits to their shareholders, who dictate increased prices to increase their margins.

He didn't violate it.

Yep, there's eligibility requirements, but in practice that means just lie about a reasonable one for you.

There can never be enough ways to force parliament to respond to an issue, but they could of course let it sit in the gazette and never respond to it. It's my hope though that the high court will weigh on this and say that response is a requirement to fulfill the spirit of the amendment.

What a sad day it is 😂

Yep, the caveat is if you're voting interstate you need to find an interstate voting centre. If you go through the aec site and hit I don't live in X state it will show you the interstate centres.

You can check the aec site to see what is opening near you. My local will open shortly for early voting, but a few nearby opened on the second.

I'm a yes supporter and aboriginal. This same recommendation would get ignored by parliament if recommended by a voice. Inquires and commissions not being listened to by govts will still exist with a voice and will still happen when it's the voice issuing those recommendations.

We're talking about a lever more than anything against the government. It's still up to regular Australians to take up the cause, to protest and to drive change by directly voicing to representatives. The fact we vote in people who don't care enough to listen to the recommendations of commissioners and coroners is a whole problem as well.

Banning stuff does stop it, see Hitler (existing) or horses on highways.

The level of distraction is one thing, but the level of dexterity is different. It's a lot easier to drive straight looking at a phone (or even interacting with one) that's in a cradle.

Exactly. A voice shouldnt have teeth either, but id like it to have some reasonable powers of compelling testimony as well as an ability to formally ask for records but that's just me personally.

Vote yes!!

Suburbs really suck in this regard. I get a choice between a 15 minute bus that comes every 2-3 hours to get to my local train station or walk 1:30 minutes along the same road with zero footpath for the majority of the journey on a 70kmh road.

What's up W it?

Well that's just rude from Plex

Ham and cheese plain or buttered on a baguette is a French staple
