So, I only have 2 questions here:
1. When are you moving to the US?
2. Do you need a hand to pack your bags?
why move to the US
US policies are moving here
No, they are
not. Here we have mandatory voting, public funding for elections and federal electoral officials who decide the boundaries and call it straight. We have a rules-based system of responsible government with the executive decided by a popularly elected House of Representatives.
Here, the major parties have fully costed policies, reported back and signed off by public officials. Politicians deign to take questions from a free media and engage in debates. When they do Town Halls, they take unfielded questions, not from friendly News Ltd presenters and social influencers, but by anybody who wants to ask.
Here we have independents like the Teals, not to mention fun-loving cranks like Pauline, Malcolm Roberts and even Jacquie Lambie, bark worse than her bite.
Sure we have two major parties. We also have Greens and your old friends from long ago, the Nats, who tend to take too many anti-depressants with their wine and pass out in the street, but what can you do?
US policies are most certainly
not moving here, even in our worst nightmare. Both major parties support commitments to net-zero emissions targets, even if one pretends to like nukes, just for the clickbait. Both parties support universal health care. Both support social security, the NDIS and most social spending commitments.
We took our vaxes, accepted our lockdowns and were grateful. Scomo did just fine, even if we all agree he was a tool. Belt and braces, we said, and I'm paraphrasing
you. We took it like a man.
Rule of law? Sacrosanct. A felon can't even
stand for office, never mind rule. Our constitution prohibits those declared bankrupt, ruling your DL intelligible since 1987.
Most importantly, both parties support free trade and the total phase-out of tariffs. Defence and trade policy are bipartisan, there's no question of any of this changing. Disruption?
Never ever. Our biggest trade partner is Chi-na, our best friend is Uncle. None of this will change over the next four years, no matter who comes to power or what your DL says.
We love our rich multicultural tapestry and we welcome our migrants. We're Aussies, and we've got it great. There isn't a thing you can say to divide or disrupt us.
Get busy living or get busy dying. Australia's not going anywhere, dear. We grew here.
You?
