Yes, Martin Ferguson, the former Resources Minister who allowed this travesty now works as a lobbyist for mining companies. The two major parties have betrayed us all.
You never cry about jobs when the public service is gutted, local, state and federal services outsourced, the banks and insurance companies laying off employees and closing branches or when our police, firefighters and health staff are lowest per capita then at any time in the last 40 years. Such a BS argument@@redtobertshateshandles
@@redtobertshateshandlesfor a start stop gutting the Public Services and outsourcing to consultants. Talk about jobs, Seriously?The gas and mining sector employ few.
Tax gas and oil properly, and we could turn the economy around almost overnight. How many ex-politicians now work for gas and oil companies on multimillion dollar salaries, it should be a crime.
This guy chooses his career as politicians..hmmmm Within capitalistic economic system you should hand over your puppet strings to the corporations.. hmmmm.. my advice to you young man .

The greens have a few crap policies but it's still strategic to vote for them at this stage. I'll be voting for the greens and independents until we can fully eject corporations from our democracy.
I don't believe the temperature will rise...BUT EVERY AUSTRALIAN SHOULD HAVE CHEAP GAS, WE LIVE HERE. ALL EXPORTED GAS SHOULD BE TAXED AS PER OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD DO, OR THE 30% COMPANY TAX....
I lived in Norway for 15 years and can testify that they have done a much better job at standing up to the oil companies and getting their fair share. In fact after the Americans hit oil in the North Sea in the 60s it wasnt long before Norway had their own public owned oil company whereby most of the profits stayed in the country. The result after decades of getting a good deal on their own natural resources is that Norway has a oil fund, which is so large it dwarfs the GDP of some countries and they self-regulate to only access 2.5% of the investment income to supplement their national budget. The end result is a society (unlike Australia) where no one is left behind. We can learn a lot from Norway.
The trouble is this message doesn’t get heard by the general public as the government media (ABC) and the commercial media hardly mention it. Additionally the general public are so stressed out with cost of living issues the 2 major parties play on this to maintain the status quo. Ignorance is bliss but we’re edging to a cliff as more and more of the general public are impacted by financial stress. Meanwhile the politicians will retire to well paid jobs in all of the industries where the lobbyists achieved beneficial financial outcomes.
Btw a few more things we can learn from Norwegians. Interest on your loan for the home you live in is tax deductible, rental income from granny flats and room letting as long as it is under 50% of your house area is tax free. These two things alone would dramtically improve the affordability of buying a home, and has worked like a charm in Norway for decades. Most new homes are built with a smaller self contained apartment suitable for a single person or a couple. This creates a lot more affordable rental options and helps home owners pay between 30-50% of their mortgage. That is something you can go to the bank with. If only ausssie pollies would look at what is working around the world we would all benefit. The reduced tax income can be recovered from removing negative gearing on investment property nr 2 and beyond
One step forward is to outlaw politicians from working once out of politics. Let them keep their very generous pensions but no other employment, paid or unpaid.
Labor isn't any better than the LNP. However, I'm disappointed to hear the Greens, sided with Labor to shut down debate the other day. This isn't acceptable. I expect it from Labor and the LNP but not the Greens.
Yes, the Greens had the opportunity to use the powerful cross bench block to further a moral position. I suppose you may have to take what you can get but it sends a poor message. I'm grateful Pocock is a rep.
A lot of people here talking smack about the greens. You don't have to agree with all their policies. I certainly don't. But use your brain and vote strategically. The number one issue in this country is corruption. Let's kick the corporations out of the government and then we can go back to talking about regular policy issues. At the moment voting greens is the most certain way of achieving that.
@@VirtualHorizonz Federal politics is compulsory preferential, which means anybody who doesn't fully number the boxes doesn't get counted at all. You're wrong, plain and simple.
Great speech Max, all 100% correct. I know you and your followers will brand me a xenophobe because I care for the environment more than people. Immigration intake needs to be reduced to 100,000 consumers per year. Think of the carbon emissions alone. Now think of the lost hectares of native habitat from land clearing for housing and bushfires. Save a kolala, a sugar glider, any bird, a dugong. Consumers consume no matter where they are from.
The unique wildlife is forgotten in Australia’s rush to get rich, but the Greens don’t care either , the Green Party supports Labor’s excessive immigration levels but ignores the loss of bush land and natural habitat caused by urban expansion to house all the new arrivals . Koalas are dying because the trees they need are cut down to build suburbs for more people, and the Greens say nothing, hypocrites.
Vote strategically. You might disagree with the greens on some issues, but what matters most is stamping out corruption. Then we can talk about climate or whatever else.
Kooyong resident here. Will I vote for Monique again? No way. Why? 1. Check out these 2 Teals chewing gum & feigning indifference to Max's words. They should be nodding furiously. 2. Teals voted with 2 major parties to oppose recognition of Palestine & calling for immediate cease fire. The Greens called for both recognition & cease fire. Teals are captive to wishes of affluent voters.& fossil fuel lobby. They are no better than a winging faction of Liberal/Labor parties. Not wasting my vote again.
@@adrianseditz4168 Yeah Pauline is a bit silly sometimes but like Bob Katter she genuinely cares about her country. Honestly the problem here is the major parties, it's not a left-right issue.
If only the Greens would reduce levels of immigration to truly sustainable, historical levels then you would be the next government. I want to vote for you so much but can't until you stop the unsustainable levels of immigration. I want to believe that you might do it for no other reason than to stop the destruction of the environment?
Absolutely agree with you Timothy. How can you be Green but want want to introduce more consumers to compete with wildlife and the environment for land, people for housing, hospitals, schools, roads, water, public transport. The growing carbon emissions alone should persuade the Greens to prioritise the environment. Maybe the Greens have been captured by a disproportionately influential group.....Come on Greens, get it together. All of your other policies make perfect sense.
