  1. How in the world can we allow the #corporateMedia to even depict #JohnHoward in any kind of positive light.

    We live on a desert island lacking large hills and mountains that could store water etc. and yet, he bribed people to procreate. It was called a #BabyBonus, he also abused refugees (cynically, admitted 2014 on #RadioNational) and increased #immigration to such extreme levels that it had the effect of draining our #productiveCapacity (see #holesAndHouses).

    He'd be bet on an #imprisonList.

    Fertility can go down with ethical access to family planning.

    Instead many govt actively pursued #populationGrowth. In #Australia the conservative right party brought in a #BabyBonus *in this century* as well as increased immigration by insane levels, extra hundreds of thousands a year, simply to satisfy #contructionCartels, retailers like #GerryHarvey (very short term strategy given the effect on #CurrentAccount), suppress wages, and boost housePrices.

    The only…1/2
