  1.  @Vandelberger  yes, 10 years ago. They are majority renewables now, mainly via offshore wind actually.

  2. Remember Americans reading the comments, Liberals are the RIGHT WING party in every other country except yours.

  3. You're 80 years late to that idea. It's called the Bradfield Scheme and was formalised idea wise in 1938. And it will never happen. CaspianReport's video on it goes into it further. And the script for it was written by an Australian.

  4. they aren't. They are licensed so not any random mentally deranged clown can get them.

  5.  @jacobjgleggy1854  far left? HAHAHAHA They are centralist AF. The fossil fuel companies donate to both parties equally. "Far left" but doesn't increase Jobseeker from below poverty levels, "far left" but leaves in tax cuts that mainly benefit the rich, "far left" but doesn't touch negative gearing. I got more examples. You need my glasses mate.

  6. As a Kiwi: Moving to NZ from Australia for cost of living reasons is like moving from being in 3kg of cat poo to 5kg of dog poo. NZ is worse. Far worse for cost of living LOL

  7.  @Austtube  that's literally reflected in that social commentary. It is a disgrace on the nation
    2
  8. Not they don't. Do you even know the US base near Darwin and Pine Gap?
    2
  9. The "all the animals kill you" thing was obviously exaggeration for comedic effect and I live in Australia too.
    2
  10. How is it inaccurate? I live in Australia and it is pretty darn solid.
    2
  11.  @lonnie224  like....
    2
  12.  @lonnie224  burden of proof mate. Name some.
    2
  13.  @lonnie224  and it was far more complex than that. They were more often employed in the trade they had experience in (you know, makes sense), and although there were harsh punishments initially, these were toned down. And also there were incentives, and often later earned remission and the convicts were often fed better than other counterparts. Not to mention for most convicts, most of their lives were spent in freedom. In a very general way and on par with the satirical presentation, hoser is in fact more accurate.
    2
  14.  @lonnie224  The fact is Australia was mainly built over decades with mainly free non-convict labour. And as stated, the situation of the convicts was far more complex.
    2
  15. Housing costs sky-rocketed with minimal immigration during 2020 and 2021 due to COVID restrictions but yes, keep blaming the immigrants and not the tax incentives that created a essentially Ponzi scheme h0ser correctly alluded to.
    2
  16.  @the.parks.of.no.return  sure bro.
    2
  17. It is more housing supply. Immigrants are free money to an economy, particularly one with an aging population and declining birth rates.
    2
  18. You're about 80 years late to that idea. It's called the Bradfield Scheme and was proposed in 1938. It'll never happen. See CaspianReport's video on it, written by an Aussie.
    2
  19. Plenty of farmers do. It is often on marginal land in which it is far more profitable to lease the land than to plant or raise anything on it. Australia produces food for 90 million people. It is one of the most food secure places on Earth. And Australian farmers are some of the most productive per [your area of measurement here] in multiple categories and crops/animals.
    2
  20. Also you might want to look into how a certain Liberal politician leased out the Port of Darwin to Chinese interests and then after politics, got a 'consultant' job with that same company. Less Sky News mate.
    2
  21. Yeah, you might wanna see what happens when there's an aging population but not enough workers to support them.
    2
  22. Show us the proof the Liberals did something.
    2
  23.  @cameronnewton7053  lol what. The Bradfield Scheme is an ecological and economic nightmare. Not to mention you are aware of the true reason why the Murray Darling is dry right? Look up cotton farm water bidding.
    2
  24.  @Beargamer2749   dollarydoos is a Simpson's reference. Too many boomers commenting not instantly getting the sarcastic reference.
    2
  25. It often can't grow outwards. Why? Flood plains like Western Sydney are finding out due to essentially past corruption.
    2
  26. I like how you complain about Perth's lack of culture but then in the next paragraph talk down to people who provide that culture. LOL
    2
  27.  @Austtube  he stated COLONIAL history for a reason and you missed that stuble joke of him displaying a picture of an Aboriginal girl with the caption 'fr?' (For real?) when he was talking about 'rights for all'.
    1
  28. It is a Simpson's reference.
    1
  29. Watch Friendlyjordies' 'Blood Water' and how powerful the cotton lobby is and the utter environmental crsis of the Murray Darling.
    1
  30. it isn't ignorant if you actually read the Aussie comments in here. That or you are in denial of all of these facts. He in fact covers it far better than other 'more serious' geopolitics channels who, for example, only touch on or downright ignore the housing issue.
    1
  31. Nice rant but as stated correctly, overseas mining interests are mainly owned by Americans and British. Farming wise, at least 86.4% of farmland is Australian owned. The biggest buyer of farmland the last few years has been Canadians. Not to mention the NSW Farmers Association has stated more overseas investment is needed or else farming will stagnate but I guess they in on it too eh?

  32. It's a Simpson's reference.

  33. Remarkable how H0ser, who shitposts, does a more accurate summary of Australian demography and economy than a lot of so called political channels and he did it as a foreigner. What non Australian ever mentions negative gearing?
    1
  34. If you didn't notice, it is exaggerated comedy for effect. You need my glasses. I live in Australia too.
    1
  35. You know it isn't meant to be a super serious poltical science video (even though the hard information within it is actually more accuate analysis wise than many) and it's deliberately a lot of pop culture references for comedic effect - get a sense of humour. I live in Aus too.
    1
  36. Lots of fellow Aussies state it is general but rather accurate. Including me.
    1
  37. It's a Simpson's reference

  38. Hey Americans reading this, a liberal government is RIGHT WING everywhere else in the world but the US.
    1
  39.  @andreyhempburn  ok anti-woke fella. You aren't anti-woke, you're just gullible. The "Covid camps" were for inbound people coming into Australia. They had clean nice rooms and even had WiFi. And they don't exist anymore. We have plenty of guns here mate. Only they are licensed so not any random mentally deranged clown can get them. You don't need a semi auto AR-15 for hunting rabbits on your farm. Also the gun hand-in was when the government was paying 4x the market rate for those guns? I sure like a good deal too. Also most Australians are lower taxed than Americans if you factor in all taxes like state and local tax and your private healthcare costs. Don't say you are American and forget the irony of commenting on freedom while having the highest prison population in the world? I assume your Super "anti woke" sources told you all this or did they 'forget' to?
    1
  40.  @andreyhempburn  WE LITERALLY GOT RID OF A PRIME MINISTER (PRESIDENT) WHO ILLEGALLY GAVE HIMSELF GOVERNMENT PORTFOLIOS AND WAS HIGHLY CORRUPT YOU CLOWN. He is currently shitting himself in front of courts and will do so more in the future.

  41.  @jacobjgleggy1854  1) it was 13 2) he was sworn into them with everyone's knowledge. Slight difference bud.
    1
  42.  @jacobjgleggy1854  I forgot 3) it was for 13 days. I like that you 'forgot' about that detail bud.

  43. Calm down mate. It was obviously in jest.

  44. Hungary says hi.

  45. Calm down bud. It doesn't detract from the point made in reality.

  46. You're about 80 years late to that idea. It's called the Bradfield Scheme and was proposed in 1938. And it will never happen. See CaspianReport's video on it for more detail.

  47. And Alabama
    1
  48. It doesn't. The world coal price going up 400% in 3 years, with it peaking at 800% forces up the price of electricity mate. Supply has never been an issue.

  49. It is fine. I live in Australia too.

  50. It's a Simpson's reference

  51.  @dominicbeirne9482  sensible? It's mixed it with a ton of jokes haha. It is roughly accurate but he delivered it with lot of jokes. That's the presentation style of his videos.
    1
  52.  @dominicbeirne9482  compare this vs say the 'more serious' tone of CaspianReport.
    1
  53. The Bradfield Scheme is a joke. CaspianReport's video does a good summary of why it is.
    1
  54. Also nuclear is too expensive vs far cheaper rooftop solar and yes, includes storage as well.
    1
  55. He's Canadian and also many other Aussies agree with the rough assessment
    1
  56. It is a Simpson's reference.
    1
  57. But the electricity generation cost is too expensive vs solar.
    1
  58. In Australia here: H0ser's broader analysis of Australia is actually more accurate and covers more factors than a lot of so called political channels while shitposting with memes. Brilliant.
    1
  59. Left? HAHAHAHA They are centralist AF. The fossil fuel companies donate to both parties equally. "left" but doesn't increase Jobseeker from below poverty levels, "left" but leaves in tax cuts that mainly benefit the rich, "left" but doesn't touch negative gearing. I got more examples. You need my glasses mate. Also as alluded to in the video with the huge arse map of solar irradiation, solar, via rooftops, is the cheapest electricity generation here in Australia. Maybe actually look stuff up for yourself instead of parroting what Sky News tells you to think

  60. Hypoboles are fun aren't they?
    1
  61. *you saw that caveat he put right?
    1
  62. 1) Most of China's foreign 'ownership' in Australian farms is leasehold 2) Australians own 88% of all farmland 3) The biggest foreign freehold farmland owner is the Netherlands...at 2.2% of all farmland. But can't hate on those windmill people as easily eh? 4) There's proportionally more American and British interests in our mining companies and proportionally more New Zealand and French interests in the Australian diary sector but kind of harder to stir people up with clickbait headlines using them eh? Less falling for the anger-bait /clickbait, more actually looking it up.
    1
  63. There are more 'serious' channels bud like CaspianReport. This is YouTube and h0ser is known for this. This is like complaining your meal is pasta at an Italian restaurant.
    1
  64. yes, but he likes money for his work and not demontisation ;)
    1
  65. Like what? Most people living in Australia, including me, felt he got it mostly right except for side semantics issues.
    1
  66. He's Canadian.
    1
  67. The Bradfield Scheme is unviable in reality.
    1
  68. Only 1) H0ser is Canadian 2) he didn't blame it on them.
    1
  69. Read the comments. Most Aussies agree it's roughly accurate.
    1
  70. easy but EXPENSIVE
    1
  71.  @obie2013  yeah, go watch H0ser's video on Korea and Russia on why a declining population is an issue. Also look into the history of Australian housing, particularly John Howard's changes in the early 2000s. Then come back to this video and look at that housing credit graph h0ser posted. Then do the correlation. House prices sky-rocketed with minimal immigration during 2020 and 2021 due to COVID restrictions. Blaming immigrants or foreign buyers is a joke. It always has majority been Aussies screwing over other Aussies.
    1
  72.  @obie2013  Also do you think immigrants don't spend money in the economy? They pay full taxes without full benefits. And often they are working adults who don't need government paid assistance like subsidised child welfare costs or public education costs. You have actually thought about it right?
    1
  73.  @obie2013  nice block of text. yeah, you might want to look into Australia's visas and immigration policies. Nice unappliable stereotypes you got there. The fact is it is FAR cheaper for the government to support an working age immigrant as their schooling has already been paid for by another government. Do you truly think the government paying for 18 years of schooling and childcare welfare payments and even them at Uni / TAFE is less than an immigrant? What a joke. Learn some basic maths.
    1
  74.  @obie2013  I see you have never immigrated overseas ever. Those kids don't qualify for those child welfare payments as they and the family aren't citizens. Nice one mate.
    1
  75.  @drake1896  yes they do, look it up
    1
  76. *major city is often only classed as s city over 1 million people. Honolulu only just very recently passed that mark. Get your context right
    1
  77. We have PLENTY of manufacturing, only it is in very niche industries such as medical, petroleum and mining. The public only thinks of lower end, lower profit consumer manufacturing. The Australian car industry was a joke that should have ended in the mid 80s. The foreign companies (GM owns Holden) only cared about the fat government subsidies and never cared about the actual quality of the cars.
    1
  78. He literally mentioned it in the 'fr?' (For real?) joke with a picture of an Aboriginal girl when discussing 'rights for all' and he stated "COLONIAL" history. H0ser's shitposting humour was too smart for you.
    1
  79. If it isn't the same as similar rentals in the area, you can contest it via Consumer Affairs Victoria. Know your rights.

  80. "or instance, Australia has had its coldest January for 21 years and the nationally-averaged rainfall was 25% above the 1961–1990 average at 582.2 mm, which makes 2022 the ninth-wettest year on record for Australia" - I like how you literally condradicted yourself there - you know climate IS LONG TERM PATTERNS. I live in Aus too. Also for farmers, it is about accessible water - which is a known issue.

  81. You're about 80 years late to that idea. It's called the Bradfield Scheme and was proposed in 1938. And it will never happen. See CaspianReport's video on it for more detail.

  82. Yes and no depending on aspect efficiency wise
    1
  83. it was obviously a joke, referring to stereotypical foreigner perceptions. Get your humour radar fixed.

  84. We aren't. It is not a technical recession of 2 quarters of negative GDP growth.

  85.  @trueaussie9230  dollarydoos is a Simpson's reference. Too many boomers commenting not instantly getting the sarcastic reference.

  86. 1 year does not make a trend you clown.
    1
  87. Did you even watch H0ser's video and that the point that the land that is suitable to live on is limited? He could have mentioned the Western Sydney floods with houses being built on a flood plain to emphasise that point.
    1
  88. Yes, Anglosphere (shit) urban design is the issue, as is preference for a backyard.
    1
  89. Lives in Aus here: Nuclear takes too long to build, meaning more bridging with fossil fuels, meaning that negates any environmental or cost savings of nuclear, particularly via solar, in which everywhere in Australia gets more solar irradiance than Western or Central Europe or where hoser is from, Canada. Yes, including Tassie. And you don't have to wait for it to be built as adding solar capacity is modular with every rooftop solar build. Australia's major cities are far too far away from each other for HSR to be economically viable, and yes, this factors in added economic activity and not just the operation of the trains. But yes, you are right on housing.

  90. The main mineral exported is by far iron ore and half of the coal exported is coking coal, which is used in steel production.
    1
  91.  @stephenbachman132  "in the way of progress" like drug reform, abortion rights, anti-discrimination. Oh uh righto. But "culture" is just longneck VBs and shitly made, overpriced, insurance nightmare Commodores right?
    1
  92.  @stephenbachman132  look up ya history bud. Activists put political pressure on all those things in different countries.
    1
  93.  @stephenbachman132  yes "and more", including things you don't like preference wise.

  94.  @stephenbachman132  got more word bingo mate?

  95.  @stephenbachman132  more I look shit up before posting. Anyway, I'll enjoy my culture watching say MSO concerts. 'Culture' includes the stuff you don't like bud.
