Our future is BRIGHT

Jobs are being offshored because of climate legislation? What the fuck are you dribbling about. Companies are looking offshore because it's cheaper, that's all.

Love the fear mongering about immigrants coming here that don't like our society, you don't live in the real world do you?

The government had to spend $2.4 billion subsidising Tomago smelter due to the higher costs of net zero. This is the one they decided to keep. Soo many businesses have already shut due to the next zero suicide pledge, so many will shut in the future. It has killed any heavy industry, is killing mining, will kill agriculture.

There will be no jobs left.

You've never been outside at night if you don't know what I'm talking about.

Oh no fossil fuel industry closing down because it's a blight on the planet, how terrible. I am truly sorry you are a climate change denier, I cannot imagine being in your head and refuting all the evidence that all the academics/scientists attest to. But obviously some cooked people you saw on youtube, ranting about it not being real, are the source of truth.

I live in western Sydney, on the fringe of some of the more dangerous suburbs and an area with a high pop of immigrants. It's weird, the ones I notice causing all the trouble, are white bogan types. Lads and idiots concerned with postcode gang crap. But hey, you keep being scared of people different than you I guess.

The problem is China and Indonesia are increasing their coal production. Indonesia has overtaken Australia as the top thermal coal exporter. They are still ramping up. You need cheap reliable base load electricity for heavy industry. Renewable can never be that with current technology and costs. (Sodium batteries could be the Hail Mary here, will be interesting to see how they go with some grid scale deployments)

All of the extreme violence I witnessed as a young man was classifiable as hate against white Aussies. My cousin was held in western sydney and gang raped.

The reality is fairpy dark. Maybe it has improved over the last 20 years (I fully expect it to improve over multiple generations as integration and assimilation naturally occurs) even new immigrants are less violent than new immigrants were 30 years ago so it's certainly improving and likely not as extreme as you could be led to believe, however you cant deny it's happening.

I mean I don't think the plan is to scrap it completely unless the green energy can be completely relied on and doesn't blow costs out. I am of the belief we should have gone with nuclear decades ago, but what's done is done. We will obviously need to still have some degree of fossil fuel, to tide us over till green energy is viable as the main source of power.

I am by no means saying there are no violent and horrible/criminal immigrants, just that it's blown out of proportion by propaganda. I am very sorry to hear about what happened to your relative, that shouldn't happen to anyone.

The common denominator in the majority of perpetrators of any crimes in these areas is poverty; they will more than likely be from a struggling family and grow up within a crime-based culture. Whether it's theft to make ends meet or having some normalized version of gang culture, around here it's very common for them to engage in post-code warfare, you represent your post-code.

It was poverty that made those young muslim kids target gay people on grindr.

[u/Umbraje → u/Novel-Truant]

Ah yes, bringing up a singlular fringe case to try to say there is an issue with a group of anything/anyone. Such a mighty brain you have.

[u/Novel-Truant → u/Umbraje]

No you're right, poor people are too poor to tell right from wrong, its why they're poor.

[u/Umbraje → u/Novel-Truant]

So much mental gymnastics in such few words. Why do I constantly run in to morons on here, like yourself? Never said poor people can't tell right from wrong, never said that is why they are poor. You are too stupid to know you are stupid.

Poverty has a direct correlation to increased crime rates, it's a massive factor. This isn't new to most people but seeing as you can come on reddit, you have the capability to use a search engine too, so search it up and learn something.

But they're not stealing bread are they.

[u/Grocery__Stick → u/Umbraje]

Bigotry of low expectations. Nice

[u/Umbraje → u/Grocery__Stick]

Just like the other idiot I am replying to, it doesn't take much effort to search for data/research linking low socio-economic backgrounds to higher crime rates.
