The prime minister is meeting with his youth advisory board this week to hear its most ‘pressing concerns,’ with the aim of informing future policy decisions.

    But pointless though aye. Kinda knows what they want yet won’t do anything since it’s costly and would likely harm his voters base.

      Reminds me of the time he said he’d change First Past the Post voting and then had a committee investigate possible alternatives. After a year or two the committee presented him with their report to which he ignored entirely, changed nothing, and never talked about it again.

      I get the feeling this is just to give the impression that he cares.

        The difference this time is that he’s not up in the polls. So expect something completely different. Like virtue signalling.

        Pretty much every politician. Ask for a report from public. Get experts in to look into options and then decide that it’s either too expensive or that it’s not viable.

        Explain again what the point is in politicians. They have no discernible talents. Could save a lot of money and probably humanity if we replaced them with the experts.

        Politicians seem to be middle men that add nothing to the situation and yet they muddy the waters and cost a fortune

      My initial thoughts after this and their cabinet retreat are: Are they looking to do something or just looking like they’re doing something?
