The Policy Guy

There is daylight between the policy commitments of One Nation, the LNP, the Greens and the ALP at present. You cannot go close to the level of forensic detail and prescription in the ONV policy framework. I count 11 'social topics', dozens of policies and over 200 unique commitments. I am not sure why this is not resonating with the electorate - for the hard yards have been done in this material. It would improve the lives of most Victorians no end. Seems Victorians remain enamoured with promises of 'spend spend' and 'free stuff'. Stockholm syndrome evidently in their DNA.

Let me make this so clear to you that it smacks you in the face. As cognitive impairment with respect to AI + Data Centres has affected all points of the voting spectrum. OBSERVATION: You wanted to shut down the exploitation of coal and gas in western economies for some frivolous ideological pursuit to 'save the environment' YET you've been inexplicably silent in accepting that Chinese and Indian use of these fossil fuels has surged by multiples of whatever pointless reduction western economies made NOW you want to shut down all data centre development and kneecap the development of artificial intelligence, whilst idiotically parroting 'national security and sovereign capability' SO WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'LL DO IN CHINA? Has anybody noticed that climate change, transgenderism or the progression of AI are NEVER talking points in India or China? What idiot hobbles their own future, and makes themselves totally vulnerable to external forces? That'd be you. YET YOU'LL STILL BUY CHINESE CARS, CHINESE ELECTRONICS, CHINESE SOLAR BATTERIES, PHONES, ROUTERS every single component of the digital ecosystem you wrap yourself in (whilst X-posting about the perils of AI) - is a new threat vector which YOU WILLINGLY EXPOSE YOURSELF TO. Your solution starts with getting every ounce of energy out of the ground (we have tens of thousands of years worth BTW) Building data centres and AI centres of excellence Fortifying STEM learning in our younger generations Fostering inquisitiveness in our children Or perhaps just sit back and bitch about data centres whilst your robovac and coffee machine monitor your conversations NB - overly woke image for deliberate 'appeal'

Yep, gotta sell one helluva lot of stanley cups to keep the lights on nowadays

Here's a picture of cider, wine, and a sunny day. It's not beer and skittles but it's all i got

Why has nobody realised this? THE MARKET PRICE FOR DATA CENTRES JUST WENT UP. Data centres are our key to unleashing productivity, and unlocking huge economic benefit. With the US midterm results now in, data centres will be as popular as the plague. In other words, US companies will pay MORE to set up DC capability here. Get that energy out of the ground. Get those centres built. Get AI capability stood up. We'll thrive for decades if we do this now.

I was at a talk presented by @DrCameronMurray recently (topic of 'grey corruption' - where lobbying, self-interest and influence undermine good governance) It took all of two minutes for some deranged nutter to chant the leftist war cry - GINA! but...GINA! In the usual exasperated tones. Can someone, anyone - explain why these lefties will NOT ONCE mention the name 'Andrew Forrest'? For all intents and purposes, he's as wealthy as Gina Overtly, he's more involved in politics. Here are just some of the ex pollies (and their mandarins) who've sold their souls to Twiggy * Daniel Andrews, advisor to FMG * Malcolm Turnbull, Chairman of FFI * Michael Gunner, FFI NT lead * Larry Marshall (CSIRO) - Director FMG * Julia Gillard - collaborated with Mindaroo Foundation * Jay Weatherall - advisor, Minderoo * Gary Gray - Advisor - Minderoo * Geoff Gallup - advisor, Minderoo The intellectual impairment of the left is breathtaking. If your concern is political influence leveraged by multi-billionaires.... Yet you not once mention Twiggy Forrest's name... You are not genuinely concerned about corruption at all. You're just a partisan halfwit

I regularly take the p*ss out of WA and SA beaches for being 'sharky'. It's not lost on me that NSW and Qld certainly witness their fair share of attacks too. But I stay remarkably quiet about the fact that this gargantuan - 20 feet and over two tonnes - was caught just a few miles from where I used to surf at Phillip Island. The reality is - you're probably safer in the water with this behemoth, than you are with a 7-foot bull shark. But it also gets me wondering...has the movie Jaws caused more people to drown, than the surf itself? As we all know, when you are stuck in a rip, you do not fight against it. Just relax and let it take you. eventually you'll get behind the drag and can just navigate your way back in from another angle but.... that's not such an appealing idea when your mind is filled with notions of a great white parked just outside the break, waiting with napkin and utensils, ready to dine on you. So I wonder.... If people weren't so frightened of sharks (irrational given the probabilities involved) - would we see fewer drowning deaths? Has Spielberg killed more Australians than Covid?

Is it time Australia benefitted from an environment movement that was neither a front for activism (Greens) or ultra-high net worth individuals (Teals)? The sad reality is, there is nobody to front a genuine, balanced case for protecting the wonderful flora and fauna, as well as the quality of air, land and water. The Greens should merge with the Socialists (they're ideologically indistinguishable) The Teals should merge with a breakaway faction of left-wing Liberals

Who wears the pain of failure? It is insanity to believe the AFL Stadium in Hobart can be constructed at or below the quoted $1.13 billion Bookmark this. It will be closer to $4b. Perth's Optus Stadium was $1.8 billion. But that was 2017. One pandemic and an Iran war later, construction costs have ballooned. So who's paying the certain overrun? @AlboMP - cancel this project
