He only said there would be a registered nurse there 24/7 - rest of staff can be normal aged care nurses. Also if pay goes up they will apply IMO. Only reason for staff shortage is they all quit.

The part where you actually said,

That's very different to "costings do not exist".

If that's what you meant, then say that.

But again, the costings may exist, they've just not been released.

By that logic we could say the Liberal Party have no policies to take to the election because they've not released them yet.

There's no need to get so triggered, just say what you actually mean...

LOL like the sewer election?

I can't defend the move.  Best case scenario there will be 6+ weeks without the additional support.

That's not good.

But you're attempting to hold Labor to a much higher standard than you would the Liberal Party.

Do you want to just gloss over that or shall we start to analyse some of their moves in the same way?

Fair is fair right?

Or will you take that personally too?

You want to rumble with me? Sure! But before I do that make sure your army of multi trolls are ready to support you ok?

I'm happy to take the lot of you on. But I don't have all afternoon like you and your fellow unemployed cyber troll mates do ok?

Deal?

Jeez you're so dramatic...

I still don't know who I'm going to vote for.  The full platforms of the majors aren't out yet, and when it comes to the Senate, I don't know how to preference all the minors below the line for the same reason.

I like to talk about these policy platforms with those who clearly are on a different part of the political spectrum than I am because it's the best way to get other points of view in these algorithm-fed times.

I may think that a transition away from coal mining into renewable fueled mineral refinement is not only a great way to reduce emissions without totally destroying the mining industry, it brings back those refinement jobs from China, increases our self-sufficiency, will results in lower prices for the materials such as Aluminium smelted locally and actually increasing GDP in the process is a great idea, but other might not and I'd like to know why.

(For the record, I don't know if any of the majors have adopted this policy, yet)

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, I'm just a straight shooter and will question things that don't make sense to me, like how you could "know" something you've just admitted is impossible to know about Labor's funding when you don't seem to care about how the incumbents will fund anything.

It puts what you say and your point of view into perspective, that is, you've already decided who you're voting for either purely based on political ideology, or at best which leader of the parties annoys you the least.

So when it comes to weighting the take on things you put forward, I can at least properly weight that.

I won't lie, I'm very unlikely to vote for the Liberal candidate in my electorate or preference them first in the Senate, but I still don't know who I'm going to vote "for", if anyone.

It may be, as has been the case for the last few elections, voting in reverse, to keep the crazy people out and the least objectionable option in the 1st pick.

I look forward to more policy detail from both majors coming out.

But it will be interesting to see how much politicing you attack Labor for, and how much you'll inevitably forgive from the Libs.
