We shouldn't have local council elections, none of us know who TF these people are. Or we should have mandatory party affiliations in local council elections.

It says fluoride levels of 2-4mg/L are correlated in a reduction of IQ. But technically the WHO has long since recommended a maximum of 1.5mg/L due to a risk of fluorosis which is a comparatively minor concern, though it’s hard to find information about what levels are considered safe beyond “recommendations”. Either way many places have higher than 2mg/L of fluoride in the tap water (due to natural content).

Specifically recent research showed that the safe levels of fluoride are lower than we thought. I don't remember the exact research, and I phrased it poorly because I didn't remember it. I'll edit it accordingly.

Regarding whether dietary and toothpaste fluoride is sufficient, I'll defer to you on that.

The competition, Reform in the UK, Trump in the US, National Rally in France, Likud in Israel, make India the least authoritarian of the lot.

Are you against houses or something? I get that hating property developers is something that unites the left and right, but we need property developers to develop property.

I don't know if you've noticed, but we have a shortage of housing.

They're all the people who write all the country's news headlines basically. And that's what they take money to do.

I wouldn't call the senate "extremely" friendly. I wouldn't even call it "friendly" after the HAFF.

As for the rest, I think recognizing Palestine took up far more political capital than you think. The Americans OWN us, and have a history of couping Labor leaders that step out of line even for minor transgressions.

I did some digging, looks like Labor offered it in exchange for support but in response ...

Greens housing spokesperson Max Chandler-Mathers said the changes still did not go far enough.

Although I don't know if mandatory disbursements are a good idea anyway. I've just accepted your framing of them as a good idea.

So Gillard got couped too. Let's just leave it at that because I can't really be bothered.

[-] Tenderizer@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Sure, but it wasn’t an especially bold proposal.

Was enough to get her couped with a fake corruption scandal plastered all over the press. What are you expecting exactly, Whitlam levels of boldness?

Not a carbon tax.

Doesn't matter. You can say all you want that it's a lie to call it a "carbon tax" but does anyone in Australia know it by a different name?

It lasted only a few years because the Government lost at the next election. If Rudd had ... instead of ... that brought down both his and Gillard’s Governments.

Gillard was polling abysmally before Rudd took over. She was a terrible prime minster who nobody liked.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apsis

You're not 100% wrong. Zero_gravitas answered my comment about the apsis with a comment about the seasons, and I called them wrong even though technically they were just referring to the wrong topic. I was right though, the perihelion occurs in January and the anhelion occurs in July, and that this means the sun is closer to earth during Australian summer than it is during American summer.
