They've been moaning about this forever. I want them to secede and then get bombed into oblivion by the Soviet socialist republic of Australia after all their LNP members are purged from federal parliament.

There is no mechanism for WA to exit in the constitution, which means we would need a referendum to amend the constitution to put on in there and that would never pass. Plus all you have to do is show how much it would cost in medical/social security/defense spending and anyone who isn't an absolute idiot realises that it's a net loss if we exit.

Well the ADF is employed by the federal government so realistically they could just militarily conquer WA the same day of any exit and imprison the people behind it, then make the whole place a territory or install a puppet "transitional" government You wouldn't need to even deploy anything more than a few trucks of soldiers so it would be quite cheap and quick. Not like WA actually owns or controls any military assets - they're all ADF.

Note that it says financially independent. They're not going to formally secede, they're just not going to contribute to any budgets. They'll still take from budgets tho

open24hours posted:If you're going down that route why even bother with civil unions? Defacto couples have the same rights as married couples so there's no need for the government to be involved at all.

One of the major ones is that often, your property and custody rights in the case of separation and death are more at the mercy of the courts if you are de facto.

CrazyTolradi posted:Wrong, defacto couples don't have the same rights in regards to inheritance or next of kin type stuff, i.e making medical choices if you're not in a state to do so. There's been a lot of information about this going around with regards to the plebiscite so if you're unaware of defacto couples not having those rights, I can only speculate you've had your head in the ground on the issue. Everything I've read on the matter says that defacto couples have the same rights as married couples, where are you getting the information that they don't?

If you're legally married, you don't have to do anything but produce a marriage certificate to prove the existence of the relationship. If you're de facto and your ex or your deceased partner's family denied you were in a relationship, well, get ready for a fight.

If your partner's family are willing to go to those lengths you can be sure that a marriage certificate won't stop them.

Knobb Manwich posted:You have way too much faith in humanity. yeah tell me about it. Was talking about this with my dad this morning and he was all for the secession, and when i said it would cost to much, he said that you could fix that by raising more revenue. Apparently his idea of raising more revenue is to cut company taxes and implement a flat income tax rate. at which point i gave up and walked away. cbfed having that argument today.

I am sure any secession would be great for WA and not result in them immediately going bankrupt when mining revenue dives further.
