I would guess you either have a job with Qantas or want one. They seem to be very PC these days.

And while you and your vegan mates are prattling on about climate change and women in management, I’m more concerned about people having jobs, housing, food and education. I guess you are an inner city trendy labor voter with a man bun.
It must really be tough to realise that not everyone fits in to the little shoeboxes that you have for them.

I'm very much a conservatively minded person and voter. I make a point of preferencing the greens last wherever I can. And btw you seem to have a better handle on the terminology than I do.

I've never lived in the inner city, I have a regional background. It must be tough to think that someone like me actually believes in climate change and basic human rights regardless of sex creed race religion etc.

I guess it's just a matter of giving everyone equal treatment regardless of their race or sexual orientation, which you're struggling to do.

You're a dinosaur. Deal with it.

(Also you haven't actually answered either question, you've just attacked my character, well you've attacked what you assume my character is). (Also I'm much more of a short back and sides man than a man-bun champ )

Actually I don’t “struggle “ to give equal treatment to everyone. What I object to is the unjust, unequal treatment of everyone by the humorless, dictatorship of the politically correct. THEY are the ones putting people in shoe boxes, but unlike my light hearted game’s, they destroy people’s careers and lives, witness the vendetta yesterday against some idiot councilor who said something not PC on a games show.

Dont you understand that this is exactly the same sort of witch-hunt that the communists practiced??

That is the reason I spit on the PC crowd. They are just plain evil.

With reference to that councillor...he repeatedly showed that he likes to treat women as objects.

This thread needs to be locked and condemned to history, just like your world-view.

Spoken like a true social justice warrior. Stifle debate. Your worldview is obviously to you, correct. Mine is not allowed to be different, instead it is incorrect.

I'm all for debate, but discrimination /=/ debate.

This isn't a platform for your sexist, racist and bigoted views.

That's literally all this thread is. You have cherry picked one single event or issue, and tried to use it as justification for why the world is against you.

Don’t stress too much, if current demographics are anything to go by, people with this world view aren’t going to have influence for too much longer.

Imagine seeing this old fool’s name on your roster and having to spend hours in a cockpit with him? ‘Crewing, hi, cough cough, not feeling well today’.

Thankfully he will never be at the pointy end of an airliner of course unless you mean the pointy end to the rear in economy.

For someone watching Bathurst, you’re certainly posting here a lot.

Over 7k posts and a weekend warrior.

Sad.

You’ve turned an actual issue, the fuel, into a political anti progressive right wing rant and whilst at it criticised at least two conservatives. You’ve done nothing apart from attack the man not the argument...
People like you are why people don’t like people like you.

Curious how Sunfish gets jumped on. Equally curious is how LGBTQI issues / Aboriginal reconciliation/ climate change etc. etc. preoccupy the modern mind. It will be interesting to see what happens as the prosperity dries up and nothing replaces it. And the same activists face declining living standards and an economy that wont be able to sustain the life style that they have become accustomed to. Ban coal. Stop flying. Stop eating meat.
Retreat to a candle lit burrow.
Don’t buy anything imported/exported on a fuel oil driven cargo ship, don’t travel on a diesel electric regional train or eat anything produced by diesel powered farm machinery.
The current generation have never know hardship.
Perhaps an economic depression is needed to concentrate minds?

Any chance of getting real?

And sit in a darkened room weeping.

Wow, imagine if there was only a type of technology we could invest in that was both low on emissions and affordable. Imagine if it was adopted world wide. Imagine if your economy and industry developed and marketed that break through? Imagine the potential flow on effects in a free market system.

Sorry to not fit your exhausting narrative but there are plenty of conservatives (or people who know how to read peer reviewed science) that are for fixing the planet through the gradual introduction of renewable energy. No one apart from maybe the far left is advocating turning the coal off tomorrow.

The single best bit of irony in all of the talk about LQBTI etc is that if you were indeed actual liberals, the values with which the party was founded (in classical liberalism), you wouldn’t really give a **** what people do as long as they don’t hurt others. All anyone wants is to feel included and safe in society.

The reason why people are calling this behaviour out is because they’re sick of it. The Sky News Bolt Fantasy Land Hour doesn’t equate to how the majority of people actually feel. I doubt anyone here in this thread meets the definition of a “SJW,” it’s just a normal group of people who aren’t really interested in putting up with the marginalisation of various communities without justification. Honestly, it doesn’t take much to just accept people.

I’m glad you’re focusing on education Sunfish, if for no other reason the more educated people are seemingly the less like that ^ they become.

I think what Sunfish probably believes is that diversity and inclusiveness are a nice concept but people should be hired or promoted on merit, not on their identity. Yeah, I know, how un woke is that?
Education, wow, now thats a can of worms. Do you mean people who have been schooled for a long time or those with substantial life experience?

Junior, has it ever occurred to you that progress is not inevitable? Or linear? It is possible to fail. The solutions will be created by scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, not activists. There is an extraordinary conceit amongst the current generation that they have agency over everything. You don’t. Go back to your IPad. Or become an engineer.

I think you all need to go and watch season 5 of Rake (not the best season in my opinion but it certainly nails a few of the issues discussed here).

STRAYA!

Heard him leaving Broome today. He didn't seem too peeved off when the tower cleared him out of there up the coast below 1000ft. BTW, it was a 185.
