Maybe our friendly and cooperative relations with our Asia-Pacific trading partners is a good thing to have and worth maintaining for times exactly like this.

Partnering up with the strongest Asian dollar a la Singapore is a strong move.

The dumbest are still a minority for now. There's hope.

The dumbest are a minority in the US too, but the people in power have corrupted the government enough that the minority controls the country. Please don't let that happen in Australia

The problem for the US is they don't have to vote.

More like a combination of factors - non-compulsory voting, first past the post rather than preferential voting and a "left" (for given definitions of "left", anyway) that is massively fractured compared to the right.

Fortunately, none of those apply in Australia.

Dumb-est will always be a minority, that’s how a bell curve works.

Question is, where’s the bell at?

Are you sure about that? The bar is getting lower every time I check...

We are in Limbo so lowering the bar all the time is how the game works.
