What cunts.

I don't have time to query our datatables but last time I checked stream 1 was not the majority of job seekers. Also worth noting that redudant workers get priority access to stream 2. Also while you are correct that stream 1 job seekers do not recieve the same level of assistance as other...

Try to assume less and know more: Stream services Relocating people is a very difficult area. Clearly doing it by force is wrong so it must be voluntary. If you want to do it right though it costs money. Serious money. On top of the relocation costs (which are not insignificant) there...

This is correct. Risk is that ETS debate forces it off the senate agenda though.

Agree with Graney. Also redmayne I have spent time in Indigenous communities and also have worked in the Indigenous policy space...

I think that you misunderstand remote Indigenous communities. While you are correct that they operate like any other community you are incorrect in assuming that this means jobs. For the most part they are simply too small and/or do not produce anything. There are around 1,200 remote...

Indigenous Australians who recieve Newstart allowance are required to meet job search requirements. Seeking work or undertaking training meets this obligation. CDEP (true sit-down money) is being progressively phased out and is now only found in remote communities.

Trick statement. There are big differences between Indigenous communities in urban, rural and remote areas.

Education/health/targetted spends/welfare reform don't address the underlying problem though. There are no jobs it doesn't matter what you do there are some places in which there are no jobs. In the case of Indigenous Australians unless there is a mine or a tourist attraction there are no...

Read an interesting article on Mises about Xeer customary law in Somalia, very basically the law does not impose punitive measures such as imprisonment however requires that compensation be paid by the perpetrator (and/or their family) to the victim (and/or their family). These fines are not...

Use of a market to allocate scarce resources. Did the school make the permits available by lotto, first come first served or auction? Are the permits transferable? These are important considerations.

Essential characteristics are the same. The strong dominate the weak. What makes you think that citizens wouldn't support it? I think that nationalists would be quite happy to support that kind of thing. Also as I'm sure you know the modern state has a long history of seizing land/resources by...

hahahhahaha Friday is 'late night shopping' also one of the better nights out.

Would you accept the development of the state as required for the emergence of AC? This would seem broadly similar to the early communist position that the state would be industrialised before communism could emerge successfully.

Mutual assured destruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia I don't think that a major war will occur. A private security firm does not to me see sufficient to deter a state. For example lets say allodial title was given to BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto, Fortescue and other companies operating...

Excellent question.

Nuclear war has not erupted and the 50 years after nuclear weapons entered the scene have been much more peaceful compared to basically any other period in recorded history. There have been no major land wars. Anywhere. Vietnam/Iraq/Afghanistan/Korea/etc while bad in their own ways simply do not...

This is the thrust of my concern. The removal of the state would not imo remove the propensity of humans to rent-seek. In an anarchic situation such as those we see in Somalia and in many other relatively lawless developing areas warlords have emerged and set about violently rent-seeking.

I guess that moll meant that the swiss were not protected by their arms in WWI and WWII but rather by their neutrality. Also due to the terrain I don't believe that switzerland was strategically important.

Yes the international system is anarchic (sup realism). Yes the strong state oppress the weak states. This is actually a perfect illustration of my point. Without an overarching authority the strong will oppress and exploit the weak. Removing states just means that this occurs on the local...
