Thousands of construction workers strike over federal government's national CFMEU crackdown

Jump

  • Everyone is acting like the CFMEU is some sort of Socialist Democratic Union. It's not. The Problem with the CFMEU (and in particular: the construction division)is that it's a total top down hierarchy that's dominated by thugs and criminals.

  • How much would it be worth if not for Russian central bank intervention?

    • Queen Elizabeth said Trump was ‘very rude,’ and had an ‘arrangement’ with Melania

    Jump

  • I vaguely remember the video of the Queen and James Bond during the London Olympics opening ceremony where the Queen asks Bond to get rid of Trump. Or did I imagine that?

    Jump

  • Dry food in the mornings and wet food at night. Never have any issues with weight and my cats always live long, leisure filled life's.

  • In this case you are 100% correct

    • What was the worst band or singer you’ve ever listened to?

    Jump

  • Can't agree more. I've got it in my collection but (after many years and many attempts) I simply can't make heads or tails of it.

    • What was the worst band or singer you’ve ever listened to?

  • Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It's essentially unlistenable.

    • A Russian lawmaker says the military knew Ukraine was planning to hit Kursk, but everyone was told 'not to panic' because 'those above know better'

    Jump

  • Yeah but for how long? The troops the Ruzzians are flooding into Kursk right now simply aren't up to the job. They "may" be able to stop the Ukrainians at their newly prepared defences but that's not a given. Putler can not allow the Ukrainians to stay in Kursk and, realistically, the only way he had of forcibly dislodging them will be to redeploy troops from the Donbas.

    Jump

  • Maybe a calendar that starts with the creation of the Earth (approx 4 billion years ago) as it's starting point?

    • Do you think Hitler would have won WW2 if he hadn't invaded Russia?

    Jump

  • To expand on my previous comment, another driver for the Russian invasion was the sure knowledge that Stalin was planning on invading Germany. Indeed, it's well documented that Stalin was so overcome by suprise by the invasion that he descended into a near catatonic funk for several days.

    • Do you think Hitler would have won WW2 if he hadn't invaded Russia?

    Jump

  • One of the main drivers for Hitler invading Russia was the desperate need the Nazi state had for money to keep itself solvent. Essentially, the Nazi state was what's known as a kleptocracy, by the time Hitler decided to invade Russia they were more or less insolvent. This was due to the enormous amounts of corruption, embezzling or misappropriating of government funds by the Nazi's themselves. They couldn't pay to import the desperately needed crude oil and other raw materials required for their military industrial complex.

    • Trump says Biden wasn't 'too old' to be president

    Jump

  • Yes, both Drump and Biden are old. The big difference is that Biden is still both wise and street smart. Drump always was and always will be neither, he's just weird.
