Feel better now?

'There’s nothing right wing about criticising bad policy'
Correct.

'The problem with Socialists is they’re too scared to question, let alone speak up.'
What Socialists are you referring to?
Seeing Socialists everywhere is a right wing trope. Or are you inferring that I am a Socialist?

'Labor voters have an ‘every man for himself’ mindset'
Are you insane? That is the Liberal/conservative mindset.

'Where they want as much ‘free’ stuff as possible'
Ok, tell me someone who doesn't want 'free' stuff?

'while blatantly ignoring the trillion dollar debt'
Yes, you are correct, the Liberal Party added enormous debt to Australia during the Covid crisis in order to stimulate the economy. Straight forward Keynesian economics designed to prevent economic collapse.
BTW, it was one of the few things I agreed with from the Liberals. They did the right thing at the time.

'Taxing unrealized gains is not about fairness it’s about covering the ballooning borrowing wherever they can.'
That is not a fact, that is your own right wing biased point of view, and continues the incorrect assumption that the Liberal Conservatives are better "economic managers " than the Labor Party. Factually, and provably incorrect myth.

'It’s a cash grab to pay for 10s of thousands NDIS houses that cost taxpayers $200K each per year.'
As far as I am aware the NDIS doesn't buy houses for the disabled so that is likely BS. It does provide money for house repair though.

'wind and solar farms that will all be on the scrapheap, need billions to replace them and be an ecological disaster in 15 years'
Why would wind farms be on the "scrapheap"?
Are you similarly crazily obsessed with wind farms as your orange faced mate in the USA? What ecological disaster will wind farms orovide in 15 years time?
Why are solar farms going to be on the "scrapheap" too?
Please explain.

'and funding the world’s largest and most inefficient public service per capita'.
More unsubstantiated BS from a right winger.
Here are some facts for you:
"The Australian Public Service is one of the largest employers in Australia. As at December 2023 the APS comprises 170,000 people, of which 60.4 percent were female."
Wooo, female...now there is a right wing trigger point.
Here's some more facts:
'The indications are that Australia's public sector compares extremely well internationally, and does as good a job as the vaunted efficiency of the private sector. The international evidence is that Australia's government is highly effective compared with similar nations."

Sorry to burst your right wing thought bubble again.

'Discussing the trajectory of the country and the serious issues we’re faced with on a general discussion thread is actually constructive.
I agree to a point, however this is a WA1 general discussion thread and not a political thread. Please post your stuff elsewhere and stop the ongoing pollution.

Finally, 'It’s not right wing, it’s the right thing to do.'
Right wing and being right is an oxymoron...imo.
Cheers.
