It operates in parallel with the Chamber of the House to allow two streams of business to be debated concurrently. Since its inception in 1994 the Federation Chamber (then known as the Main Committee) has become increasingly important in managing the time allocated to House business––allowing more time for scrutinising government legislation and for private Members’ business and discussion of committee reports.

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:It's very depressing My favourite bit was the Rottnest hotel and the interviews with people on Australia Day. For me there were two parts that hugely stuck out, aside from Rottnest which I hadn't heard of before. Firstly, that the Stolen Generation was still going on , and that the Intervention was 100% predicated on lies. I mean, I remember it starting, and thinking at the time that something was off about it, that slimy characters like Howard and Brough had suddenly discovered a national emergency of Aboriginal pedophiles that required ARE TROOPS just months before an election. But to find that it was literally 100% lies - not misunderstandings, dodgy reports or well-meaning mistakes - but actual out-and-out deliberate deception is just outrageous.

CROWS EVERYWHERE posted:It's very depressing My favourite bit was the Rottnest hotel and the interviews with people on Australia Day. Can you elaborate? I haven't seen it and sort of don't want to, because it sounds like it will be hugely depressing and preaching to the choir anyway, but I've spent a lot of time on Rottnest and I'm curious as to what this is about. I vaguely recall hearing that the Rottnest Lodge was built over a mass burial ground, but there's also a place across the grassy square at the edge of the bush which is fenced off and clearly marked as a mass burial ground.

It's not particularly about the mass grave - although that gets a mention, as does the road running through it - it's more about the white-washing of it all. The glossy brochures talk about how the island is "historic", without ever really going into detail about why it's historic. They hire a $240/night room (which is basically just 4 prison cells merged together), and talk about how this space would've held 51 Aboriginal prisoners, and at least 15 people would have died in this particular hotel room. And that none of the guests would have any idea of this. The guy also told a story about how the first batch of prisoners, who'd never seen a hanging before, were made to construct a gallows and then watch a fellow inmate get hanged.

I had a friend (now ex-friend) in high school who "doesn't believe in" the Stolen Generations. And doesn't believe there should be any kind of apology for it because even if it did happen it was "hundreds of years ago". And she was smart, too, generally speaking (we were in mostly the same classes as each other and were in direct competition for best marks in the class most of the time), which makes it worse. She absolutely refused to listen to everyone else rightfully giving her poo poo for it or even things like my mentioning having gone to primary/early high school with people who were direct descendants - sons and daughters - of people who were taken from their parents in the 1950s and 60s. Like, people my Mum's age - and it's only stopped officially happening. One book I read in a fit of masochism was about how the Stolen Generations weren't really a thing because it was all done legally so we should just stop worrying about it. That's the point, you loving shithead: it was all perfectly legal and above board and approved by everyone in power, which is why it's so hosed up.

I forgot to do a writeup of that clean energy lecture I went to last week, so I'll just sum it up in a couple of sentences: China and India are investing heavily in renewables and not building more coal plants because they're too expensive. Therefore they won't buy our coal for much longer from our mining industry that only survives on the subsidies it gets from the govt, and because the Australian govt is exclusively populated by Sydney University's Special Needs Class they'll instead pump more money into the dying industry and the country will spiral into depression.

It's one of the fastest growing industries in the world. With all our space and abundant natural resources (and our awesome scientists) we could/should be investing heavily in research for renewables, as well as putting up lots of those wind farms that Hockey finds so "offensive" (because they are a reminder that his attitude to renewables is wrong). And when Solar technology gets a bit more efficient, how about we install a gently caress off big solar array somewhere in the middle of nowhere? Nope let's just dig holes.
