Everything is getting from bad to worse at an incredibly fast pace and all the government thinks of is how to play games and politics. I for one has been hit very hard and at this point, I am more interested in a solution because I don't even think both are qualified. What is the way forward for the less fortunate ones like me if this goes south? How do we survive this phase? I am slowly losing my mind.
Quite simple: First, vote wisely, Spend only on necessities, Invest in your health. Always invest what you can, but you must ensure you spread your investments (locally and internationally) but of course be well informed about where you want to put your money. Made my first million this way earlier this year (got help though). Can comfortably wait out this "phase"
@@archiemcdougald5466 Amazing approach though its quite not that easy... What do you mean by you got help? I could definitely use help right now. I await your reply.
@@the_jean_mum HAHA. I can honestly relate. The help I got was from a pro "Nancy Lynn Lewis", she was in the news a lot in 2018. You can check her out online for more.
@@archiemcdougald5466 She's got a pretty decent bio and seems American. Does she work with foreigners?

At the present Australia's economic growth is ranked 43rd out of 52 OECD countries.
In 2012 last year of labour, Australia was the best performing economy in the OECD.
At present Australia's debt is 65% of its GDP, in 2012 the debt was 28% of the OECD, the best in the OECD back then.
At present we have the one of the worst internet conectipn out of all the OECD countries, thanks to the Liberal party handing over 16 billion dollars tax payers money to their buddy Telstra.
Australian economic growth is now ranked 60 out of the 50 OECD countries. Go figure.
Transparency international has ranked Morrison's government 18th out of the OECD countries, this the worst ranking ever in the Australian political history.
Since 1969 the highest government tax to GDP ratio has been John Howard, Morrison's government is the second highest ever.
These are facts.
The guests are amazing, but the host is very preoccupied and rude, can we have Laura please!
We need to stay right away if China wants to go into Taiwan, we all like to beat our chests and try play the big timer but at the end of the day China is a nuclear power with a million plus military, we are in no position even with US support to be lecturing or poking China. We should worry about Australia and not the concerns of US foreign policy.
It seems that many Australian politicians like to talk about China when they have any issues/ troubles, sounds like China is the key to work out everything😴
@@lihongruan650 this country is too racist, everyone spends all their time raving about China while our own government is leaving people homeless and jobless by the tens of thousands.
Stan “preparing for war fellow of the ASPI” Grant. This should be something that is communicated at the beginning of any discussion re war, considering the ASPI is funded by the military industrial complex.
How good is Larissa Waters!!
Seriously we're you watching the same show. All talk no action.
@@westbeach8097 *Were
I looked out my window.What did I see?I saw clouds of darkness. I listened to the voices and heard nothing but lies. I looked into the future searching for hope And I turned away! My tears kissed my cheek and I was all alone.
Larissa Waters speaks the truth!
Others,especially when they're running for office,fear corporate backlash and loss of campaign contributions it seems.
Thank you Larissa Waters 👏 you’re the only one who is making sense x
Funny that the host never brought up Josh Frydenberg and Alexander Downer bugging the sovereign country of Timor-Leste to sway the negotiations over drilling rights in the Timor Gap. Scott Morrison was quoted this last week "Australia respects the sovereignty of individual Pacific Island states", Why does he still employ Josh Frydenberg if it is well know that he and Alexander Downer bugged an Indo Pacific nation illegally?
Oh no another cut to the ABC it surely couldn't be because of mentioning stuff like that
Young Aussies don’t need mental health support. We need hope. We need a fair go. The mental health will self resolve.
Good to see a more balanced panel..... about time too !!
Bring back manufacturing will help .
And stop talking about advanced manufacturing .
Without basic manufacturing we are all screwed. Well maybe not me I am happy to live like the Amish.
Once again, a white upper middle class inner city green speaking her mind, it's a her right i hope i got that right.
Don't think that blonde Greenie have to worry about the price of petrol, grocery and kids' tuition fees...
22:56 transparency? You mean like how we totally didn't blindside them with AUKUS? You expect slavish loyalty from another nation while we give them nothing but insults and excuses.
The Solution, is to be more Compassionate to each other. 💯
Are you for Real? We live in the "society of spectacle" Sodom and gamorah has arrived . Nothing like a little late stage unfettered CAPITALISM. Exploit to collapse of on finite planet with Exponential growth.
Larissa Waters!!! Yes!!!!
I think Australia has a lot more going for it than doom and gloom..
it is turning into a globalised world very fast... we are part of it..
humans have always been able to adapt... and Australians are some of the brightest people in the world..
I feel more than anything younger generations of Australians need to put themselves in a global format way of thinking.... go and work overseas ..live with people overseas ..understand people of other cultures this is going to be a new future for all ages..not just the young... we will make it..!
Global government is global
Slavery.
holy shit first question. amazing
Perfect eh ? Average rent is TWICE the weekly dole payment !!
@@edwardfletcher7790 $420/w for a townhouse 40mins from the city. Disability is $900 a fortnight. If I was not housesharing I’d be homeless lmao
@@Kaonashineko Disability payment vastly exceeds unemployment payment.
@@edwardfletcher7790 yes I spent 10yrs on it before getting disability. My point being as well those who have no choice (unemployment is not always a choice for sure) who can’t work anymore or could never but who also are living in poverty, welfare should be universal basic income.. everyone gets minimum wage and can go from there towards employment without fear of income or those who cannot work won’t be in poverty either.
Free education? Properly targeted education at low cost or realistic cost is what's needed.A job when I left school as that was permanent,with bright prospects could be landed with average yr 10 marks. Now that same job requires a degree or even post grad even though the said job is easier today due to technological advances but as so many people now have degrees the bar has been lifted to the current ridiculous height we currently have. No wonder young people are so disillusioned.
Has nobody noticed that China doesn't do wars like Australia does? China has one overseas military base while the USA has AT LEAST 800.
Stan Grant lobbying for his boys at ASPI
Yeah sounds great about lifting wages, what’s the result if that happens? The costs get passed on the the consumer which means more inflation. These are the fools in government, wage increases isn’t going to fix the problem it will only exacerbate it.
Tax the coal billionaires, tax the churches, remove negative gearing. The billions are in the hundreds of billions. More than enough to give everyone minimum wage for welfare and raise all wages, completely fund dental and mental for Medicare.
@@Kaonashineko Totally agree 👍
Hello Australia:)
I am only one person but I wanted to share something from just an everyday American. Trump was a horrible American experience and I am still dumbfounded that he manipulated so many Americans who haven’t a clue of what his kind of politics would usher in.
So much for that bottom dweller.
About China & the Solomon Islands… I realized how truly remarkable Australia is for standing up to China about those islands. With all this business with Russia going on it fogs the mind. But here is my view…
Guadalcanal is sacred ground. America lost thousands there and Australia I believe lost around 23,000 in WW2, and was by America’s side in those Islands. Australia came to the aid of those Islands in the 2000’s to restore peace. Sacred land protected by the blood of Australians and Americans.
That Australia stepped up to remind us, not only from a security perspective, but from a fought for and died for perspective, hit me as noble. I would fight along side of an Australian soldier any day and twice on Tuesday.
That is just my opinion, and I am an old woman now. But I remember. We must all remember outside the fog of the thuggery of dictators today.
I have seen too many wars. My child served and was injured. The price of our freedoms require standing up even when it hurts.
Thank you Australia. This American appreciates you.
From Australia, looks like Biden isn’t any better.
perhaps you've measured the distance from the US to Venezuela and everything in between to make assumptions that all is fair under that umbrella. Seriously warped mindset that maligns Trump to a current senile and lobotomised POTUS & VP. ps. Get an education google it before you utter nonsense.
@@aliceinwonderland7594 Alice in Wonderland is fitting
ok, I wasn't kind, agreed, and yes it is a fitting name in an ocean of available pseudonyms. Cheers.
tf do you mean, standing up to China over Solomon Islands? The Australian government have been bullying Solomon Islands into being left reliant and thus deferent to them! It's got nothing to do with standing up to China! Solomon Islands wants to enter freely into a security deal with China similarly to how Australia freely joined AUKUS.
This isn't Australia being some sort of good guy, it's Australia being a bully and standing over a smaller neighbour because we don't want to lose power over them that we've held since Federation. It's plain old Australian local imperialism and nothing more. We aren't better than China, we're just smaller.
Yes Premier Palaszczuk and PM Morrison must be Congratulated for Their Repeat Success in Growing South East QLD, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Perth.
Most Unfortunately though the Premier and PM have Failed Numerous QLD Small Towns Mostly in Central QLD and North QLD.
Numerous Small Towns have Endured Repeat Recessions and Great Difficulty Growing Their Population.
Very Hard to Find a CQ or NQ Small Town that has Grown.
This Small Town Failure Highlights the Denial by Both Labor and the Nationals about Their Record in Regional Australia.
When, When will PM Morrison DPM Joyce and Premier Palaszczuk Close Some of QLD's Failed Small Towns ?.
Agree. National disaster. Unnecessary as well. Debt and greed fuelled.
We'll just board up the joint, their sacrafice zones for Corporate Capitalism.
Thank Christ for Larissa. The only sane one there
Ridiculous.
Central QLD Must Get Out of Coal Quickly.
Central QLD is Bathed in Huge Amounts of Solar Energy.
CQ Must Build a Number of Genuine Large Scale Solar Power Stations.
Plus Build Tidal Generators Off the CQ Coast.
Tidal generation 😂
@@tankatim13 Yes Offshore Tidal Generators and Genuine Large Scale Solar Power Stations.
CQ Must Get Out of Coal and Oil.
@@chrisgriffiths2533 nuclear ☢️ power and large solar such as AAPowerLink to Singapore
@@tankatim13 No, Genuine Large Scale Solar Powers Stations the Size of German Creek Coal Mine is Far Superior to Coal, Oil, Gas, Nuclear.
Also though some Offshore Tidal Generators at Bundaberg, Gladstone, Yeppoon, Mackay, Bowen, Townsville, Cairns, Aurukun, Normanton, Will be Great.
@@chrisgriffiths2533 German Creek WCMG power plant? 45MW plant
Scott Morrison said "Australia respects the sovereignty of individual Pacific Island states......" It is Solomon's choice to build a diplomatic relationship with China. You cannot blame China's success because of it is less transparency. A successful diplomacy bases on both parties mutual respects, cooperations, communications and international interests. Although the diplomacy is transparent, a lot of Australian politicians still want to hold up a black veil in front of their faces to view China. Mainland China consistently focuses and trys to complete the peaceful unification with Taiwan, but the Australian politicians are deaf and the media seem to be too old to have the capacity to balance the listening and speaking skills
The biggest problem of the Australian politicians is that they cannot tackle the internal problems, but waste time and energy to blame China. Politicians play political games to divert the internal critical attention. l think they all need to have a self-reflection lesson to have the courage to face their real problems and then to have innovative ideas to move on.
We all know that only arm manufacturers can make great profit in wars, others are looser，but Australia cannot stop fighting for US. So far, from what l can see, Australia does not have an independent foreign policy. It's proactive US follower's role is laid back in the South Pacific region.
22:48 okay so we do more than others, that doesn't change the fact that we have let them down time and again. And it's also hard to claim that as a good thing when we are currently trying to bully them out of getting more support that isn't us. If they need more support, either we give it to them, or they go elsewhere, we don't have the right to say "hey, we give you some! How dare you get help from someone else too when we can't give you enough!" it's absolutely embarassing to share a country with this brain.
We have Australian billionaires who are now giving away their wealth because they don't know what to do with their money. Larrissa is right - tax the rich!
The $250 was a joke!!!
WTF have you got Campbell Newman on here for?!?!
Show was in Brisbane. 2004 he was the mayor and 2012 he was Qld premier.
The only hope is nationalisation of all housing at 50 percent of value. This will give the government enough wealth ( hey i know they print the money but yeah thats another debate ) yeah enough wealth to subsidise the education, public housing, mental health, etc
The bloviating talking head in pink does not get my vote. She would make a good translator but she didn't answer any questions.
Another propaganda session with Stan...
19:57 nice diversion from the point mate, really making it obvious that you're not impartial. Absolute clown behaviour from the host.
Politicians can only talking do nothing.go round and round.
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯
he's obviously the best i invested 2000 USD with him and in 9 days i made a profit of 9102 USD
Trading without a professional like Expert Harry is like gambling with your money
he's really amazing with his amazing skill he changed my 0.3 btc to 2.1 btc
How do i start trading with Mr Harry
I met Mr Harry for the first time at a conference in Manchester i invested £25,000 and traded in one month making close to £143,670
Boris johnson or zelensky❤️❤️❤️ must be ready to send ( offer) your best doctors to Moscow to treat Putin ,, sometimes surgery may not be needed or medicine will do that job 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I hope and expect Moscow will stop war in may 9 a second world war victory day for Russia 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hearing the Greens talk geopolitics made my eyes and ears bleed, and the fact the audience - mostly young liberals - don't know what they are clapping for just makes the irony even sadder. She knows absolutely nothing about Realism in the IR. Solomon Island getting help from China had nothing to do with climate change and cutting foreign aid. China knows the PM of Solomon Island is no better than the leadership of Myanmar i.e.: despotic and easy to grease up. And the irony is that the climate change impacting the world is caused by industrial nations like China and the US, and they have done nothing to reduce the emissions. For example, China building more coal power plants in Southeast Asian countries to export THEIR coals and workforce.
China is using the opportunity to do something like this to embarrass ScoMo and they have been eyeing the Pacific for the last decade because of its strategic location, courtesy of Japanese occupations during WW2 that proven to be an effective bulwark against US' Pacific campaign. China literally surrounded Australia and blocked off naval bases in Guam and Hawaii, reducing the US carrier group response in the event of a Taiwan invasion and isolating Australia militarily. Diplomatically it works well for Beijing as in the UN, there will be fewer countries going against China's agenda of rewriting global IR in its image.
Honestly, all of those claps would turn into placard protests, just as how it was in Hong Kong, Tibet and Mongolia the moment they know what hit them.
You are such a communist
Hearing RWNJs think they understand geopolitics make my head hurt. You think you understand it, but only look at the bleeding obvious. Everything you say is correct, but you ignore the fundamental driver behind all these things. Solomons are going under water literally and will deal with whoever gives them the best deal.
China will leverage that to their best advantage as you say.
The Greens main fault is assuming everyone knows the basics and understands these more fundamental drivers of geopolitics…
first
Sad to see and hear people booing Campbell Miller when he talked about tax cuts and optional opt out for Super. People need to take more control of their own money and educate themselves, rather than let other people manage their money, thats how they became so rich, off your money through taking fees, you're all cash cows for the white collar super funds. And everyone applauding the Greens senator to tax the rich, she earns over 200k a year, how about reducing her wage to a fair amount for someone who sits in an office all day and does barely anything compared to blue collar workers out there keeping Australia afloat.
So you support taxing of the rich then...
I have no problem with tax cuts, just don't give them to people earning more than 180k a year (like me). Unfortunately you can't seem to understand the game is rigged and you should support parties that want to rebalance the scales.
So unlike the Lib/Lab politicians on $200k arguing for a tax cut for themselves: she is arguing she should not get the tax cut. Not sure how you turn that into a negative..?
Bounds like you don't know who your oppressors are
We don't have "Minimum Wage" jobs.
That's just how Americanised our young people are today !!!
Can you time stamp please.
@@tankatim13 It's approx .56 right at the start.
@@realkangaroocafevietnam she says she work a minimum wage job so probably $20.33 per hour
@@tankatim13 that's my point.
We don't have a minimum wage, that's an American thing.
We have award wages & the 2 things couldn't be more different.
Sick pay, holiday pay, overtime etc the poor American shoppies, waitresses, fast food workers etc don't get most of that at all.
