I considered Australia the protector of small government of southeast Asia! Australia is the sources of intelligence when the "yellow peril" is abusing small islands .

My good PM for Australia: 1, get young Australian employed. 2, talk less defence.

What? WTF? Xi JP is assertive and Genocidal Joe is not and Penny Wong is mousy mouse? WTF indeed

Hugh is no peacemaker and Australia will not escape consequences, grave and humongous ones for enjoining with US warmonger. US is a sinking ship and a toothless paper tiger

Happy to discuss my (starting 22.57) three minutes further with anyone, either here or on my own KZbin account: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2O6i3tnp71mqqc

Who can believe Genocidal Zlepy Joe who is dementia bitten?

The West wants all the power. Nation build on Warmongering. Ask the Native Indians they know all to well

No mention about ending the ridiculous numbers of people being imported as immigrants. Or chinese investment.Typical Fabian Labor cover the real agenda of having everyone dependent on the government and no home ownership while pretending to be being caring and thoughtful.

The plan to make us all too broke to own out own home is going very well Thats except for the ruling class who will be equaly as rich as each other and equality spit on the peasants and equaly decide what thoughts the peasants will need to think or suffer the consequences. Thats Fabian Equality 🦾

So make a new alliance with former pacofist stability Japan and build what it is that Australis region requires

A brilliant analysis and a really stimulating discussion.

Interestitious and most fascinatory.

Despite him being called an ‘expert’ on China, Hugh White’s opening statements about China and the reasons for the US-China rivalry are all wrong. First, it is untrue that the US and China have always fight for hegemony over the South China Sea region. In fact at the Yslta conference and the China-US rapport after Nixon visited China, the US has supported China s position that Taiwan is part of China. The rivalry between them only occurred when Obama recognizing that China like Japan would overtake the US as the worlds number one economy, started the US pivot to China to contain or prevent its further economic development. This, high white either either through ignorance or deliberately hide the history of it, did not state. It is the only reason why the US-China rivalry started; to prevent another economically strong Japan from happening. Secondly, Hugh’s posturing that China is increasingly aggressive because it wishes to replace the US as the dominant power in Asia is a lie, cultivated by the CIA to give Australia an excuse to confront China for any concocted reason like the Covic epidemic. South East Asia was a peaceful lake until Obama started the campaign to contain China and created the TPP to exclude China from a regional trade alliance. Trump saw the Obama’s deceit of the US and Australian public and rightly killed it. Thirdly Hugh started the ASPI on CIA funding whose purpose was to drive Australia away from cooperating with China. In this, Hugh betrayed Australia as the activities of this group in influencing the Morrison’ s government fully, had harmed Australian businesses especially farmers and wine growers and Australian employment. By its unreasonable hostilities China, Australia have lost tens of billions of exports to China causing much unemployment. The wine export to China was reduced from $1.2 B to $10 M because of Morrison’s attack on China encouraged and sponsored by Hugh White’s organization. To say that Hugh is an expert on China or that he is an Australian patriot are untrue. He is only an ‘expert’ or given an emeritus status in ANU because of US influence on Australian politicians and manager of ANU. If rated correctly, Hugh’s knowledge of the reformed modern China, is minimal at best and in most things about China today, he is really ignorant. His views are generally reflecting what the CIA pays him to say which is infinitely not credible. There are many real real experts on China including Mahbubani of the Lee Kuan School of Government to listen to. Hugh White definitely is not one of them.

PAY YOUR FUCKING BILLS!

Thank you to all.

Keen persists with an idea that to fight climate change it is necessary or desirable to "Reduce Energy Consumption" and "go into degrowth". He is living in dream world. That is a crazy idea of lower energy would involve lower amounts of production of necessary products and services including that of food production which will impoverish the planet and particularly less well off people. Growth is the only way that people can be brought out of poverty as they have been over the past 100 years and more. Low energy countries are the poorer countries. So what is the answer ? More growth to feed more people who are now suffering from all sorts of deprivation due to low growth.

Keen says in speaking about bonds "If interest rates double that bond is worth half as much". That is utter rubbish and demonstrates his failure to understand how interest rates on bonds affect their value. The reality is interest rates doubling usually only results in roughly a similar percentage or little more loss in the price someone is willing to pay for the bond if sold. The face value is still what is paid out on maturity with any additional interest.

Siendo politólogo no había hecho público ningún comentario contra el genocidio del pueblo palestino perpetrado por los israelitas y el demente del criminal de guerra Netanyahu y sus cómplices civiles y militares, ¿quién puede volver a creer algo de lo que afirme simulando sabiduría?

Australia can play peacemaker. Better do it now.

Fascists? Is she in Rome in 1920? What fascists?

"Alternative" energy is self-defining total b-s, temporal superposition thermodynamical holographic nucleation, the Universe we know is logarithmic condensation modulation cause-effect, There Is No Alternative. But the fanciful politics of alternatives to a choice of an optimal design of Reactor is a continuous war on plain and obvious sanity operating most favorably for Control Fraud profiteering.

Stay neutral Australia dont let the US drag you down with them.

Truth telling won’t change anything

This presentation illustrates how incapable these people are at doing anything for themselves. No plan B. Sad to see. Assuming the yes vote was going to be a walk in the park was the beginning of the end. Rather than complaining pull you fingers out and help your communities with education, nutrition, domestic violence, child abuse and housing

Russia style sanctions would be enough to cripple trade dependent China. There would be no need for military confrontation. That’s why USA has been so flippant lately provoking China with Taiwan independence rhetorics.

For God's sake, you can't possibly think that a UBI is going to usher in some new era of creativity and civic responsibility. We already have 15% of our population that have a guaranteed income - and all the time in the world to do whatever they want: Retired people. And what do they do? They sit around playing golf and pickleball and watching Fox News and voting for fascists.

Under Capitalism a UBI can’t work. Capitalists will see it as an indirect subsidy and use it as an excuse to depress wages and increase prices.

Have we the political will? Ha ha ha ha ha! Of course not.

Low inflation helps the rich and corporations - and high inflation helps the rich and corporations. What a coincidence.

By definition, you can't have an increase in the standard of living without inflation.

Every war proves MMT. War only causes prices to go up because we let them. In an existential war we institute price controls and consumption limits.

Inflation is one of the Big Lies of Capitalism

Only a moron talks about "inflation." There are lots of different inflations.

There won't be a war between China and USA. USA has no gut to face PLA, that simple

It would make no logical sense at all for Australia to join the USA in any way against China. Australia has neither the population nor resources that would make it other than cannon fodder. And a base for American forces. China will undoubtedly be the major factor in Australia's future and the world order. The real choice is between being a major trade partner with China, ,or being the military and political pawn of the USA. China is not going away. America will.

Homeownership what we are talking about here?!?! This is just an illusion... WAKE UP you pay thousand dollars for your own property which is taxed to the bone. If you don't pay taxes your property get confiscated that is the true!!

The issue here is only one millones of people are under severe mortgage stress, houses prices have been overinflated and they don't represent any longer their true value... WE ALL KNOW HOUSING MARKET HERE IN AUSTRALIA IS JUST A PONZI SCHEME But the solution REMAIN ALWAYS THE SAME BUILD MORE!!! APPALLING

Honestly this is the first I heard SO MANY BS in 10min video the nonsense this guy throw out is just grosse !!

When someone goes in circles trying to convince you while confusing you with mixing words on a weird sentence, talking about suppositions, personal events, simulated situations without data/statistics. Is an obvious red flag. And if you don't agree on "her/his/pinguin" point of view you are a radical opposite side. It's more like "this is why you should support me/us -> nonsense speech"

China Trades US Bombs, so who feels they should be dominant in East Asia.? Taiwan will renufy by the will of the people. US cannot afford a "war" with China and its Allies - Russia, North Korea. Iran, etc etc

Holy cow, Prof Keen has competition for admired critic of standard economics. Lovely!

Van is a legend. We’re lucky she’s out there fighting the good fight

How about you guys open a meeting with, "I would like to recognize the men and women who have built this country, and those men and women who have sacrificed their lives to keep us free."

Australia is pushing themselves in to be with war mongers

America is the problem no one else
