Because that would mean having to challenge the absolutism of his beliefs. I wouldn’t mind, we all know that governments rarely govern in the best or most effective way because the incentives aren’t right….there is evidence of corruption and conspiracy, cronyism, nepotism and pay offs. And I do think there’s an argument to be made that we let it go too often and allow systemic dysfunction because it feels too much effort to clean it up.
I largely ignore him because of his through the looking glass tendency of black is white and white is black because it negates any of the nuance he accuses us of lacking.
In regards to the story above about tagging migrants, it’s another example of pointless gesture politics because there isn’t the money to tag every single individual who comes here. Not to mention that the boats are a small percentage of our overall migration and the majority in the last year have been Hong Kong Chinese, Ukranians and international students.
I do think the boats are far from sub optimal, but either way whatever decision we take is going to cost us money and yes that may seem unfair, but ultimately a government should level with people about it. There’s no cheap solution.
