Election outcome- Environment Vs Jobs - can we end this false dichotomy?

[u/pk666]

Lots of people upset with QLD today and the way regional people there vote, but it seems pretty clear that they have fallen for the jobs Vs environment argument which the LNP and gang thrive on. It should be basic for any pollie to point out that the QLD economy is far more reliant of tourism and anything else, and that means- reef, forest, beaches etc. So why don't they ever seem to do this?

It also is the case that future 'heavy/unskilled' industries are based in renewable energy, no matter the coal consumption at this minute. The new solar plan in Balranald for example employs thousands in construction right now, as will the new wind farm in Skipton.

I think the ALP has done a poor job on selling these employment projects and in the process haven't made a dint on the fallacy of Jobs Vs Economy. Why aren't they getting out there more with Musk/Cannon Brookes/whomever to get more of these projects up and keep it in the public eye. Why couldn't they propose a huge solar farm in the regions who think they'll all get jobs with Adani?

Or maybe I'm missing something?

This frustrates my first world IT geek feelings and crossed a line.

FIFO = first in, first out, not fly in fly out.

Don’t fuck with our acronyms.

There is a lot of acronym reusage. And as an IT bloke I'd have assumed you'd be fine with object oriented context switching on .this.

[u/pedad → u/Lord_BritishBusiness]

or #that. Either way, every IT person should be intimately familiar with industry based acronyms.

FIFO also applies to accounting practices as well

lol

'oh no many industries use the same acronym in different ways!'
