  • It’s literally acknowledging their existence - the exact opposite of what some, including the lawyer, are saying.

    Like it or not, gender dysphoria is a mental condition. Your brain is telling you that you’re “born in the wrong body”. That’s not saying its a bad thing, just that it is a thing - like anorexia where your brain tells you that you’re fat when you’re not.

    The debate around which mental conditions make you not able to perform military service is definitely something that needs to be delved into more, but that doesn’t stop an administration from making a decision to start from.


  • We NEED a recession. We NEED deflation. We need to get out entire economy back under control, and the more immigrants we bring in the worse it’s going to get. The solution to the population being too poor to have bulk excess cash to spend isn’t to import more people to bring their money with them, increasing inflation and the cost of living and housing crises.

    If we stop importing people the population growth stops so we don’t have to keep importing all these supposed invaluable doctors and cleaners. It could even encourage people here to take up those professions.

    I want to stop all immigration now, temporarily, and then when it’s viable bring it back in a more controlled way - and yes, that would include things like how likely people are to actually integrate into our culture and way of life.

    Labor’s brought in fewer immigrants than the LNP has

    Not lately they haven’t. Not since Covid. But again - I’m not saying LNP are the immigration stopping saviours. Like everything else this election cycle, they had a slam dunk and they bricked it in regards to immigration.

    Our country can’t sustain this level of population, as we’re seeing. Homelessness, out of control cost of living, out of control house prices, etc etc. We shouldn’t be thinking of the economy first and foremost, that’s what got us here in the first place - the desire to always show a nice GDP growth above all else, even when real wages have gone backwards and everything people need is getting further and further out of reach.

    We need a “great reset” of almost everything, including the economy. There’s just no way back from the damage Covid caused and the way the governments fucked it up in the aftermath. Wages across the board need to increase about 40% - for everyone - just to get back to pre-covid affordability for basic cost of living. That’s not happening, inflation is still making prices rise, as is higher energy costs, so people are falling further and further behind.


  • DEIs rejection does not include that assumption at all. It means that you think the best person for the job should get the job, not just the person who ticks the most diversity boxes. Policies like “50% of all board positions need to be women” assumes that 50% of the best people for the position are women, which isn’t the case a lot of the time, especially in male dominated industries.

    If the best person for the position is a gay black womens then she should get the job. Likewise if a straight white male is the most qualified and best fit, he should get it. Merit wins.

    Calling people a DEI hire has definitely been weaponised, but the fact that champions of dei see that as an insult kinda proves that DEI is what its opponents say it is - unfair.

    This EO is nothing to do with DEI though, in any way.





  • DEI has nothing to do with this. DEI is about putting people in roles/positions that they didn’t necessarily deserve (as simple a description as you can get for why people oppose it). ie promoting someone because they’re a minority over people who are better qualified.

    This is about adding another exclusion to the list of conditions that exclude people from military service eligibility. DEI isn’t even remotely relevant here.

    Good job with the name calling though. Really gets across how intelligent and well reasoned your arguments are.






  • Current immigrants? Nothing unless they’re here illegally. Don’t extend any visas. Deport people who are caught overstaying their visa.

    What does it mean for those industries? They can hire people that are still here. Those fields aren’t held together by immigrants lol. You’re just eating up the lies about “we need more skilled immigrants!”

    No, we’re not cool with immigration from America or Europe. What’s hard to understand about this? Pause all immigration until we can get our shit together with the people we already have. You were trying to do a “Gotcha! You’re racist!” thinking that I only wanted to stop “brown people” from coming here, weren’t you? Sorry to disappoint.

    It’s clear that our economy and infrastructure and everything else just can’t handle the amount of people we have. Realistically we need a few million population decrease - at least 5 million - in order to dig ourselves out of this situation. Instead Labor (and the LNP to a slightly lower extent) want to keep importing people so they get more tax and can make it look like the economy is flourishing.
