Actually I posted and you replied with some irrelevant statement. I would appreciate it if you would cease replying to or commenting on any of my posts.
Cheer fella
Actually you were being a bit presumptive and I called you out on it. Careful don’t reply back or I might have to call you Last word Larry.
Nice straw men there, I note the lack of any defence of what you claim. Resorting to abuse and extrapolating to put words in other peoples' mouths, your form is consistent, I'll give you that.
Let's face it, none of the "original appropriation" which led to exclusive private property would even stand up to Nozick's deluded rantings.
Running away from your own ideological bolt hole now, not surprising. Go back to your delusional dystopia. Let's privatise the air, the oceans, everything, what a wonderful world you envisage.
In any case, I thought the last 400 years of state intervention in capitalist economies was socialism according to you. So I can only assume you think socialism works really well.

I also will reply without pressing reply so it looks like I am not replying.
I posted a statement of opinion. Nothing more than a belief that all of us should be grateful for our public health system.
You were the one who replied and made it something it wasn’t, not me. I have seen enough of your posts to know why you did that.
If you aren’t grateful I don’t care but it doesn’t change the fact that I think you should be.
It’s really not that hard

ScoMo cops a lot of blame but best thing is, he has no inflated ego. Haven't seen that in a PM since Hawke?
Wot.
First, I'm a Hawke fan, and he had arguably the largest ego any Australian politician has ever had.
Second, Morrison is a failed tourism exec who has lied and bullied his way to the top job. If that's not ego I don't know what is!
I have provided plenty of defence of my position, but I just feel sorry for you now. If I’m guilty of abuse you certainly are. I stay civil until given a reason not to, take a look in the mirror pal.
Bigger than Keating or Howard??
What's ego got to do with that? Anyone would sell themselves to move up.
My point is that at least he doesn't speak with arrogance.
Defences full of holes, but whatever, it all works in the hypothetical universe of perfectly competitive markets.
When I look around me, especially in this time of crisis, I don't see many people acting like this is an opportunity to get ahead and screw everyone else, which is what is encouraged by your ideology. What I do see is people providing mutual aid to their fellow humans, I see community not rampant selfish individualism. Yes there is some of both, but overwhelmingly I see community.
There is a reason why traits like community, mutual aid and the like are viewed as the best of humanity while selfish individualism is seen as the worst of humanity. You can continue to advocate for the worst of humanity, I will continue to advocate for the best of humanity.
Your choice.

Keating in the grand final.
Strongly disagree. See "I reject the premise of your question" dismissals of legit journo questions the country deserves to have answered.
Nah, you disagree because you supported someone else and bag every move made by the Government because your vote didnt count.
Morisson is doing the country a service, this is unprecedented.
You are a petulant keyboard warrior.
Your set list is boring.
HR, I swing more to the right than the left and see Morrison as a complete failure. He botched the bushfires and whilst some of his messaging through corona has been ok, there have been a lot of mixed messages coming out of this.
He has totally botched the economic package which could and should have been done in a better way, potentially for cheaper. A lot of the measures made are irrelevant and will have little to no impact, so the statement of $189bn is irrelevant.
Even the $750 payments to pensioners / disabled is mixed messaging. On one hand he is saying to pensioners / disabled to protect yourselves, don't go out much, on the other he is telling them to spend, spend, spend when others that have jobs are thrown to the wolves. The economic incompetence of Morrison / Frydenberg is astounding and will lead to hundreds of thousands of job losses.
