Oh hello... :roll: the Business Council of Australia has finally woken up and realized what I've been saying for the past 3 years.
Australia is no longer business-friendly.
It's too hostile, over-regulated and investment opportunities are far more beneficial offshore.
It's precisely why big tech hates us and I personally wouldn't blame any company that exits the domestic Australian market, in favor of offshore opportunities.

This is really terrible.
The Australian Government is granting entry and visas to Palestinians, and only doing the ASIO security checks once they've already entered the country.
What kind of backward national security process has this Government implemented?

Simon Benson at least gets it, only that he's too polite to say it for what it is.
Australian voters are dumb.
90% of voters have no clue who they're voting for, how the vote is interpreted at the ballot box or how preferences work.
They just post an angry vote because they don't like something and don't understand the implications of anything.
But it's what you get with compulsory voting with a dysfunctional preferences system.
It's a complete failure of the purported democratic process.

The Coalition has finally declared its position on the dangerous Misinformation Bill, which will severely impact free speech in Australia in ways we've never before seen.
The Coalition will oppose it.
Good.
But let's not forget who engaged in one of the most outrageous mass censorship operations in the country's history, during the global pandemic - it was the Coalition-led Government.

The Greens will give in.
They always do.
They're weak.

There's something very unique about Australian political journalism. :lol:

Nobody likes the circumstances, but we must stand by the defense of Israel.
There is no other choice.
Australia is suffering from a lack of any form of leadership right now, not just on the Israel issue, but all political issues - domestic and international.
It's created such a big power vacuum that I'm not even sure we still have a Prime Minister anymore.

What does it mean to be Australian?
Not sure anyone even knows anymore.
We have no national identity.
And tolerance for multiculturalism has been decimated.
How do we get back to a great Australia?
I don't even know if that's possible. :cry:

The decimation of Australia's social fabric and tolerance of multiculturalism hasn't been just the result of mass migration, as some will claim.
It's played a big role, sure.
But the lack of will of ordinary Australians to fight for the freedoms and rights that made us so great has played an even bigger role to the decimation of Australia's identity.

In Australia, you can't even get any proper financial assistance to get a startup off the ground, yet grants are provided to pro-terrorist groups for the purpose of "social cohesion".
I'm outraged, and it's so insulting.
It's just more justification that Australia continues to be unrecognizable.
