Also to make it more stupid. That ship in the foreground is a US Navy cargo ship. Every time they dock the port goes into a semi lock down with police patrolling the place, mobile camera units set up everywhere and vehicle searches.
Half the damned NT police force ends up down there watching shit get put on a boat encase Chinese spies are around rather then put serving our community
I work on this port fixing those giant arse cranes you see in the picture.
The 99 year lease of the port was a farce, done by the NT government not the federal government years ago.
If i remember correctly it was something like 500 million dollars so 5 million a year ish to own the only port in the Northern Territory.
Conveniently right around the corner from the Navy base.
In other corrupt things the NT governments have done include handing large amounts of land to building contractors for 1 dollar so they can develop it while the government pays for the development too.
We're a two part Territory with two major building companies who are all im cahoots.
I'm sure this shit happens everywhere but because the NT is so small it's super apparent
The illusion of happiness
Reminds me of my highschool girlfriend
I really want to build a new PC but can't get the price under 4k AUD for something future proof enough for me.
I'm going to have to compromise and have no second monitor too
Unfortunately the government doesn't want us to know that they're all bought and paid for
The benefits the greens get from advocating for this is more local manufacturing jobs, more upskilling of our own people rather then buying it from America.
Not to mention if the US decides were to be state 53 or whatever it would be better for us to be self reliant rather then on their whim of if we've been a good little country to trump this week
Yeah i got mine yesterday, we're going in a date next week, i just gotta send her 500 dollars so she can get her car fixed first
So you're saying sail?
Because they held an air of importance and people want to he near them.
It's all monkey social brain at work,
I never realised people were so miss informed regarding votes until I watched a YouTube video and the bloke mentioned it.
It's massive misconception that your vote goes to someone else of their choice not yours.
We really need to educate more people on this.
