I'm not sure I follow.

Columnist and former adviser to Labor prime ministers Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard...
Think that is a bit choice coming from a bloke who spun stories for the Labor party for a living....

So I guess those extremist types think that complex problems can be solved by simple solutions ? Wow.

Not simple necessarily but by being impulsive and reactive.
They're less cautious and more lively to introduce the cain toad as a solution without thinking of other consequences.
Simple solutions are often the best, but you can't apply them properly without understanding the complexity of the problem at hand and ensuring you apply the simplest solution or group of solutions to solve it.
At least thats my understanding anyway.

[member=64]PaulP[/member] I liked this quote;
Quote:Participants who are prone to dogmatism – stuck in their ways and relatively resistant to credible evidence – actually have a problem with processing evidence even at a perceptual level, the authors found.In the context of Facebook and Twitter this ..................................... the growth of Tik Tok is perhaps an even worse long term indicator!
The internet has constructed the perfect Terrarium for Dogmatism.

The psychological makeup/profile of extremists (left or right) and conspiracy prone folks makes for fascinating reading. It would be unfair to summarize the detailed info but feelings of loss of control, and generally having a far more active 'fear centre' active in their brains in one central aspect of their psychology.
That doesn't mean, though, that all conspiracies are automatically nonsense, but often they are. Personally, I don't buy into most, but there are some that prick my interest... and I remain, very often, cynical of politicians who peddle 'trust me' or 'she'll be right.' Such a complex subject.

I know this will seem harsh.
But how can you have a Defence Minister, Linda Reynolds, who goes out on sick leave over internal issues?
What on earth would happen if we looked like going to war?
What does that say about how defence and security has been managed in recent times?
On a separate note relating to state politics. The Vic Liberals must be in a world of pain if they think going back to Matthew Guy is a viable alternative to the current muppets.

Never underestimate the health impact of accountability.

Quality of politics in the country across ALL parties and at ALL levels is crap.
Look at that stupid liberal jerk in WA .... wants no coal fired power stations by 2025.
