Our gun laws arent even that strict
The person i was replying to is a german, where it is harder to own a firearm than it is for me
The process to obtain a hunting rifle license in Germany is not more restrictive than Australia. However, it does take several months to complete.
that seems to be aussie politics in brief: everything is a political football covered in slime
Talking about stuff you know nothing about again quence
Sometimes I WISH I wasn’t so competent concerning the policies of foreign nations - it renders me sad to see what they’ve done to themselves. But it does make me realise what a blessing it is to be an American.
The plot twist is quence isnt american

Ship Of Shame: Australia Saved By Trump's Emergency Fuel Shipments
sauceIt's no secret that Europe and western satellite nations like Canada and Australia have been rather hostile in rhetoric when it comes to the US. This trend started well before the war in Iran and is owed largely to the ideological break between American conservative movements and European globalists and "multiculturalists".
The Trump Administration's trade tariffs are a factor, but they are ultimately just another reflection of the separation of ideals between the US and its liberal "allies". At bottom, US tariffs against allied economies are merely a response to decades of allies using tariffs against the US. Tensions between western powers are rooted in a conflict of principles, not economics.
Despite these tensions and the fact that countries like Australia have made it clear that they will not aid the US in reopening the Strait of Hormuz (which Australia relies on for the majority of its energy supplies), Trump has offered considerable help to prevent Australia from facing total economic collapse.
Australians are calling it the "Ship of Shame" - A series of refined fuel imports from the US over the course of the past month which are preventing the country crossing the "dry up" threshold. Australia imports around 90% of all it's refined fuels, including diesel which the nation relies on heavily for industrial needs and freight needs. Around 60% of Australia's refined fuels are produced in Asia using oil that passes through the Strait of Hormuz.
These gentlemen understand what’s going on
Without these US shipments, the country was four weeks away from critical shortages and potential industry shutdowns. Australian political leaders have proven to be either incompetent or indolent in their responsibilities to prepare the country for energy emergency.
Critics will argue that Australia would not have to worry about fuel shortages were it not for US intervention in Iran. But, as we warned in March, the blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the liberal Australian government, which has crippled their own economy with strict "green" polices, carbon taxation and their continuous efforts to thwart homegrown energy production.
Australia's economic weakness is a product of many years of mismanagement and has nothing to do with the Trump Administration or the war in Iran.
The US sent around 240,000 metric tons of fuel products in March alone, the largest amount to Australia in over 30 years, with more on the way. Along with some alternative supplies coming from Africa, Malaysia and other markets, Australia's emergency reserves are actually greater than they were before the war in Iran (with an extra 10 days of supply on top of their previous totals).
However, there is still a threat of "long tail" shortages and price hikes if the closure of the Hormuz lasts longer than a couple of months.
The lesson is clear; economic interdependency is a mistake and "just in time" supply chains are foolish. Furthermore, green energy is utterly useless and a form of economic suicide. Australia is a perfect model for what not to do when developing a national energy policy.
The country's sudden desperate need for aid from Trump and the US will hopefully wake up the Australian public to the fact that their current far-left political leadership is inept at best, and self destructive at worst.
Lmao
They’re definitely far-Left when compared to America’s center-Right administration.
The US is an outlier because both main parties are reasonably right of center at the federal level. You cant call the australian labor party far left when we have an actual far left party that hold seats in government
No. The Democrats are currently a hardcore far-Left party that despises traditional American values.
Just because there’s a party that’s even more leftist than the current governing one doesn’t mean the current one is not far-Left.
Anthony Albanese is a bait and switch politician similar to Abigail Spanberger in the US - they both ran on platforms and promises that were quickly jettisoned once they took office. That’s how far-Left politicians usually run their campaigns because their true motivations are unpalatable to common sense voters.

Institute of Public Affairs Daniel Wild says the Albanese government is “clearly more radical” than the Whitlam government. “Anthony Albanese ran as a sort of moderate centrist, sort of trying not to reveal his fairly radical past,” Mr Wild told Sky News host Rita Panahi. “He’s always been on the far left of the Labor Party.”
The democrats are the exact same thing as the republicans but they take an opposing view on a handful of social issues
What far left things has he done?
