Yeah wow, at some point it's all gotta break. It's very interesting seeing how far the crush can be pushed before this happens. Young Aussies voted for this, and it seems absolutely bizarre that they did so, as the competition for entry level through mid level jobs will hurt them most. As well as housing rental and 1st homebuyer demand. Oh well, they asked for it so better deliver more of it. And GDP will keep ticking along above recession levels and shareholders will keep getting their divvies.

Add AI into the mix and you’ll see tectonic changes in how we live and operate. I reckon a half of uni degrees are completely useless. Look at the recent layoffs in the IT industry in India. Jobs you previously offshored won’t have to be offshored anymore. Entry level jobs locally can easily be done with AI. I can see massive impacts in my workplace. You can also run much flatter organisations with one manager having 15-20 people reporting into him/her.

We are headed for either a dystopian future or a future of peace egalitarianism and leisure.

Looks like we are more headed towards the former...

VJ, the management of Australia’s gas resources has been freaking unbelievable! Some of the agreements made should have criminal investigations.

And to top it off, the other day it was announced that the Feds and WA will be paying half of the rehab costs for the Barrow Island oil field to Chevron! wtf.
In monetary terms it’s estimated that rehab cost will be roughly half of all royalties collected…..

velocityjohnno Tuesday, 5 Aug 2025 at 08:21 pm new

Never got out to Barrow, but I heard there's some awesome waves (and huge Tiger sharks)! Any rehab is good - how it's funded/funding split is probably the facepalm bit, but given the links above with the gas, with the policy, nothing unexpected. Did the Alcoa rehab as a school fieldtrip in the Perth Hills when younger.

Dystopia seems to be here now andy-mac, it's like we're marching fast in a direction no-one really wants to, if you ask them privately. Like one of those bad dreams where you can't change course although you can see the danger ahead.

Yeah Flollo my son has dropped the uni for now, is doing practical courses in the field through TAFE, enjoys it much better, hands on, specialist skills that people need and aren't replaceable by AI for a considerable time. His study has come in useful for the anatomy stuff and the theoretical workload which was surprisingly heavy; employment is an almost certainty - he can do the rest of the degree once already in the field with experience, thus guaranteeing progression. The other in the trades is doing really well and it was a good choice that suited his personality. Might soon get to use my degree in it's field for the first time, 20+ years after attaining it, but it'll be my venture and it'll have to be, it doesn't exist at present in Australia lol. Haven't used AI deliberately yet, but I'm sure it can help and streamline design & production process, 1 man industry. Have you seen the production robots - they're getting down to about 8K and can do repeatable tasks...

you brainboxes out there like @vj, and @tbb, I'd appreciate your brief opinion on this: how is it that in the Adelaide gulf, ExxonMobil mothballed Port Stanvac oil refinery 20 years ago so they didn't have to clean the site up, but now 3,600 houses will soon be built there..? Any mid-coasters with opinions on it? ridiculously underutilised spot, but I thought that was cos it was manky from Mobil activity since the 60s?

I don't think @sypkan thinks there's any credence in these posts, he's just showing us the thinly-veiled racist opportunism that's to be had, if you want an audience of fucking idiots who sit on the internet confirming their idiocy..

here's three he has allerted us to:

The gibbering gif of Barak "HUSSEIN" Obama, next to a bullshit claim about hundred million dollar basketball courts..

The bullshit insinuation that Africans don't look after, repair, oil, fix, sand, restring, re-grout, re-dig, paint, prime and keep-an-eye on their things, just because the specific post-industrialisation English word 'maintain' has no direct translation in a couple of African languages.

the race for zero-sum online 'whatabouts' where finger-pointing drones say 'NO-ONE is talking about x/y/z',
because x/y/z hasn't gone viral on their socials OR EVEN appeared on their algorithm suggestions.

I think I'm reading that right? @sypkan?

Andy-Mac. Hi pal, hope you’re digging it,

I vehemently agree with your statement.

I think Sypkan, who is entitled to his or her opinion, needs to clean those old hornbeam glasses every now and then, it appears as though the rose colours keep accumulating all over the lenses.

Fair dinkum, I see newly founded migrants to Australia working their bloody guts out to pay the rent or mortgage, to feed their mostly young children who have come here for a better life, or escaped persecution, both parents working in most cases with relatives caring for kids doing the morning and afternoon run to schools.
Isn’t that what we want for our children , their children and all young families and , let’s not forget that great Australian saying, no matter where you are from , ‘Everybody deserves a fair go’. AW

it doesn't have to be an either / or

somethings just are...

like the off the charts violent crime in melbourne

black, white, and brown... the level of the violence is largely the problem, the scale. methods, and genre - whoever is doing it... its a result of many things... but there's also clearly cohorts...

unless you take off your partisan glasses... (which i put to rest a looong time ago) you'll never understand where I'm coming from...

never

which is fine, keep tarring with your blind faith (wrong) partisan brushes and characterisations... I couldn't give a shit...

if I could give any less of a shit, I would be void of a pulse

its all just very interesting

the 'allies', and alliances...

the nazis (of all persuasions)

the denial

the destruction

it seems and 'end time' is nigh

whatever that may entail...

AlfredWallace Monday, 3 Nov 2025 at 07:06 pm new

Good parenting and teaching appears to be vanishing from ways of life across all communities.
Parents are preoccupied with working to survive. So, is it our societal behaviour that drives that process.
From where I’m looking from, parenting has done a complete full circle.
These days parents seem happier to dish their kids often and leave them to their own devices, a kind of can’t be bothered with it all. This may be contributing to some of the problems we are seeing in large cities.
Previous generations appeared to exhibit a more cohesive family bond centered around being together and enjoying themselves from within.

I sincerely think there has been a shift in behaviour. AW

sypkan Monday, 3 Nov 2025 at 08:08 pm new

^^^

indeed

plus, sending off kids to childcare, at earlier and earlier stages of development is insane

labor policy - ideology... well meaning... but insane...

I dont care what anyone believes... a 3 month old child, or even a weeks old baby now! ...shouldn't be seperated from their mother for 8 hours day at all...

couple that with the no spanking, every child wins a prize generation, now raising kids of their own... and this is what you get...

(just to be clear, I've never hit a kid in my life, and don't intend to, its the beliefs, misguided-ness, and misinformation surrounding these things that sprouted up at the same time thats messed up ie. parents being too scared to say no etc.)

a gilded, gifted, entitled generation, raised by parents incapable of accepting... that their kid might just be a little shit...

couple that with devices, and 'left to their own devices', ipad babysitters, social media, absent parents, one parent families... and on and on... and this is what you get...

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th or whatever generation migrant families...

doesn't really matter

the lack of empathy displayed on SM is bloody confronting

it used to be super uncool to say raise violent video games, but they play a part as well, that, and the violence at their fingertips generally

the soft on crime. bail after bail, no juvey experiment of the last 30 years or so, simply hasn't worked...

it really irks me deeply to agree with the 'tough on crime' crowd, but until 'the left' come up with a viable alternative to that and the current model... there simply is no alternative...

the partisan nuttery dismissing all this, or worse, denying there's even an issue, its just plain dumb tribalism

the contemporary world is a complex place, the partisan nuttery isn't even remotely keeping up!

Kind of agree with most of that...

Schools do give kids too much freedom without boundaries and consequences these days.

EB11 happening now in qld, and media trying to make it about pay, but reality is the behaviour and lack of consequences for kids,and lack of support or outright aggressiveness from parents is the main issue.
Women teachers are harassed sometimes sexually, men are bullied by gangs of male youths who.would be decked if did the shit they do in a pub and nothing seems to be done.
Then they finish school and are total dickheads in society.
Mind you, talking small minority. Meanwhile good kids have their education interrupted.
Anyway rant done.

I hear basesix'a patch is lovely... no surprises there...

the bottom line is, a lot of modern teaching methods, based in a lot of good theory, be that waldorf, or steiner, or inquiry learning, and student focussed etc. etc. have excellent outcomes...

in nice middle class environments

or even lower class environments... if the parents are 'engaged', in their students learning...

but if suburbs, schools, and kids, don't have the absolute basics in place...

the kids often don't 'engage'

too loose an environment

I think the problem is - yeh some kids and families are doing fine - much like wider society...

but for some reason, the kids that aren't doing alright... are fucking loose and lost...

at levels much more pronounced than just shrugging it of as 'three's always been bad kids'

whatever it is, something has changed, dramatically, where the kids (and adults) that go off the rails, are like a barrelling train just waiting to take something out...

someone

its the levels of violence and looseness thats the problem, not so much the rate

which is why those prone to live in denial, always reflexively reach for rates

that prove nothing

fwiw, I don't see doomsday, I see hope

people are smarter than the tut-tutters give credit

people have seen through the bullshit, and corrections are in place

According to an NZDF statement released on 30 October 2025, the officer will be based at the Civil Military Coordination Centre (CMCC) — a U.S.-led hub established to facilitate information sharing and humanitarian coordination among partner nations.
(The six-week deployment) aims to help the New Zealand Government assess “possible next steps” in supporting regional stability and reconstruction efforts linked to the Gaza peace process.

A decision on whether the assignment will be extended beyond the initial six weeks will rest with the New Zealand Government

Ben mentioned that to transfer over BOM to https was going to be an involved project, would be fascinating to hear a bit about how difficult it really was. Something to do with the way data was recorded? Some of the banking platforms were built on the back of DOS and there were interesting quirks; the old system underlay other work systems I used in the scientific field too, it would be 20-30 years outdated but absolutely crucial that it kept working.

How do you spend $1,000,000,000 on a conference? If 50,000 people attend, that's $20,000 each. Say it's over a week - have any of you spent your way through your company's money to the tune of $20,000 at a week long conference? Is this realistic or just fantasy journalism?

(I can see some Vic wind farms costing 3-4Bn fwiw.)

Even if the hotel charges $1,000 a night - but would it? I can understand heads of state would bring a security detail and set up a specialised camp, but isn't that on their own dime?

At any rate, it would be fun to bluff one's way onto the Hors d'oeuvres, bet they would be delicious.

Who here seriously thinks [L] would grant IDF equal defence access to All Oz Ports & Joint Exercises!

Albo has done just 3 exercises with Israel well the fuck away from Oz shore...we know who our friends are!

If [L] wanted to purchase their [Made in China] Subs.
At least they wouldn't be buying off some lazy arsed pissed bastards.
Every Sub be delivered on time with cheap as chips servicing!

With Chinese Sub Oz could freely access every [L] Chinese port in Oz and every Port in the World.
Without fear of ever being labelled suss or an enemy threat & never be attacked by any nation ever.
Every nation would wanna trade fairly with us and freely invite us to parties...just stating the obvious!

We'd reduce our $60bn yr defence budget to $60 yr
Simply adopt Liberal's 2022 WR Covid Chinese Migration assimilation of 50% Asian lineage by 2050.
Everyone gets a VIP Golden Ticket during next Caretaker mode...bring it on!
Pretty sure our Big Cities already boast 50% Asian lineage...no big deal and shock to no one!
2050 World First non racist Army > All nationalities welcome...Zero Bullies & enemies!
If only Israel decided to stop bombing & killing us...a shame it's antisemitic to plead for our lives!

Anyone got a more peaceful chilled out cheaper foolproof Defence Plan...Let's hear it!

How do you spend $1,000,000,000 on a conference?

I'd say a fair bit of that will be security details for heads of state and so forth (according to wiki 120 heads of state attended the Glasgow meeting). Not sure who pays for that entirely but no doubt some local costs are incurred.

And according to Wiki, the G20 meeting in Brisbane in 2014 cost $400 million to host, so a billion for a much bigger event seems about what you might expect.

Abbot hosted that G20 so he could "shirtfront" putin. Sky news probably didn't call it a vanity exercise though ;-)

If there was an emergency it's down to us to deactivate their powder keg and save Oz from blowing up!
...ya just grab the keys to woteva Tank or Jeep ya like...and move them outta harms way to safety!
No! Don't expect thanks for saving the city...likely get pepper sprayed!
