Tingo<p>As much as would prefer Daniel to that shitgibbon Wilson, dubious a recount will overturn the result.

Tingo<p>One of the elegances of a Universal Basic Income is that it saves a shitload of administration and associated costs. It's simple. No need to apply a thousand different criteria. Enforcement falls away and can concentrate on fraud rather than compliance.</p><p>A UBI saves money; freeing up precious budget resources to benefit recipients directly.</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a></p>
Tingo<p>Today I learned. In 2021, Chalmers advocated for a Universal Basic Income.</p><p>'Embedding micro-credentials into the way we learn and work. Tackling long-term unemployment and disadvantage which concentrates in communities and cascades through generations. Linking the tax and transfer system to ensure a minimum basic income for those who need it.'</p><p>That'd be one hell of an achievement to define an Australian treasurer, up there with Medicare.</p><p><a href="https://www.jimchalmers.org/latest-news/opinion-pieces/no-australia-has-not-peaked-our-best-generation-is-here-now/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">jimchalmers.org/latest-news/op</span><span class="invisible">inion-pieces/no-australia-has-not-peaked-our-best-generation-is-here-now/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a></p>

Mercurius Goldstein<p>Driving into floodwaters is reckless endangerment of self and others and needs to be treated accordingly.</p><p>My unpopular opinion is that there needs to be (subject to relief/hardship provisions from a tribunal or magistrate) a minimum $1000 fine when people require rescue after driving into floodwaters, since the warnings are being ignored and the practice is costing lives and further risking the safety of rescue service personnel, with a knock-on effect of weakening the response capacity of emergency services, thus risking yet more lives. </p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/NSWfloods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSWfloods</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a></p>
