I’m really looking forward to the next election…

Labor: “Let the record show how much we have done for Australia! We have built 30,000 houses for the over one million people we have granted visas to. We have committed to making it ever so slightly more difficult for teenager’s to access social media! We have… Checks notes… We have changed some labelling requirements??? We… um… We… We made up with China and India!!! Also… We adopted the LNP tax cuts for the rich! Thank you for your support! We look forward to developing a future for all Australians for the next four years!”

Liberal: “We will eat the poor and they will like it”.

Greens: “Oh! Look at all the fluffy bunnies! Uncontrolled migration doesn’t affect housing and if you disagree you’re racist! Nuclear power is evil coz reasons, Um, Chernobyl! White people and men are the spawn of Satan! Vote for us because we care!”

Remember people, your vote is ‘important’.

Great. More taxpayer money going towards complete and utter stupidity. Anyone with even the most basic knowledge of the Internet knows how dumb and technologically unfeasible this is, yet this nonsense still continues to gain traction.

I think it’s likely that the type of content children are exposed to matters more than the medium. Children who are exposed early to digital technology will have an advantage in adapting to our increasingly digital society over those who are prevented from accessing digital media until they are much older.

GCompris is an educational program; it’s not equivalent to watching Spongebob (no offence to Spongebob).

You argue my statement to be untrue then provide your unrealistic utopian vision of cramming high density urban living as if it has any reflection in our current reality. Developers are not building your utopia, they are doing everything they can to maximise their profit. I’ve lived in enough expensive high density shitty apartments with no air conditioning and no maintenance to take everything an ‘anti-NIMBY’ has to say with a shaker of salt.

Increasing density is not necessary to resolve the housing crisis. Halting and properly managing population increase is the solution. Governments not sabotaging public transport is the solution. Social housing as opposed to housing-for-profit is the solution.

Whenever I hear the word ‘NIMBY’ thrown around I just think about how these people expect current and future generations to be worse off than their parents.

You want a garden? No, fuck you NIMBY. You want a pool? No, fuck you NIMBY. Solar panels? No, fuck you NIMBY. Now, get in your box and stay there. No complaints.

Housing supply is an issue and it’s purely because of poor infrastructure, shitty government, and out-of-control migration.
