I haven't seen anything exciting from him yet off the cuff, but I don't watch question time so He's actually pretty good in QT but only when he's geniunely being passionate/caring (about Australians) I've never been impressed with his attempts at humour/the 'outrage at those opposite' thing which is a shame because sometimes he tries way too hard to be Keating.

What are the facts about petrol consumption? If what I read somewhere is right and poorer people, while they spend less overall than the wealthy in fuel, spend a greater proportion of their income on fuel expenses, then it stands to reason that they'll be hit harder by any excise.

If Joe Hockey is unaware of the evils his policies would cause, he cannot be competent If Joe Hockey is aware of the evils his policies would cause but chooses not to correct them, he cannot be benevolent If Joe Hockey is aware of the evils his policies would cause, and desires to correct them, but is unable do so, there's not much point in having him be the treasurer QED I just disproved Joe Hockey

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-14/researchers-hunting-ebola-cure-scrapped-under-budget-cuts/5669842 CSIRO cut. quote:Ebola virus: Researchers hunting deadly virus cure scrapped under federal budget cuts Australian researchers are some of the best in the world, operate on shoestring budgets and make profound discoveries. But the govt without a science ministry doesnt see the value in any of that. We have two of the few Level 4 biolabs in the world that is equipped to handle and research Ebola and Hendra virus here in Coopers Plains, right next to the QE2 Hospital. It resides on the same grounds as the qld forensic labs. The other is the AAH Lab in Victoria. But nah, jets that dont fly and incarcerating brown people is more worthy of cash. loving get me out of here. This cut is the same price as 0.87 F35's.

Data retention apologist Alastair MacGibbon posted:It is, in essence, a living white pages phone book, retained for two years, in case a piece of our technology is implicated in a crime. Just to emphasise the point: metadata need not be only incriminatory, it can be exculpatory as well, meaning that having a system in place that can properly collect and assess this data serves all our interests. You see, now we can reverse that pesky burden of proof! We need to collect this data not only to prove that someone committed a crime, but to prove that, during your every movement online, that you also aren't committing a crime. And really, if you're doing nothing wrong you've got nothing to hide! We just want to collect this really insignificant data that is so insignificant that it's absolutely vital in stopping terrorism! ... Yes, you have nothing to hide. But that doesn't mean that you don't have curtains on your windows. Or allow cameras in your home to watch your every move. Enforcement agencies by their nature always want more information and more intrusion, because, yes, constantly monitoring people's every movement would prevent crime. Security does not automatically override privacy jesus.

Ehhhh, probably need a lawyer to chime in. While you might be right on the substance, to bring court action I think you need to qualify as somebody with an actual greivance and that requires an interpretation of the law. Specifically this part: (1) It is unlawful for a person to do an act, otherwise than in private, if: (a) the act is reasonably likely, in all the circumstances, to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate another person or a group of people; and (b) the act is done because of the race, colour or national or ethnic origin of the other person or of some or all of the people in the group. I'm not going to look through case law to see if this is the case, but whether court action can be taken would depend on whether the highlighted section is deemed to be the person taking court action or not.

Churches have the resources to pour into that kind of stuff, and if the entire humanitarian sector relied on donations and government grants, which they would if it was all secular, there wouldn't be nearly as much money invested into it as there is now. Why all this talk about Joe Hockey? There's no mention of him what-so-ever in the serious press (The Arsetralian), They instead lead with a fluff piece about the previous Labor minister for sport being involved in undue influence over ASADA...

The stupid thing about climate change is that it isn't global warming, it's climate CHANGE. Colder winters, warmer summers, it goes hand in hand. Climate change means we'll be facing more extremes, rather than the nice midrange we've experienced. Ugh, it's like saying Mercury isn't that hot when you're just talking about the dark side (for reference, it can drop to below -180C on the dark side of Mercury, while sun side it's about 460C).

My rigorous scientific research has yielded the following conclusion: *Out of all the people who cite "1200 deaths at sea" as a reason to support the coalition's asylum seeker policy, approximately zero of those people actually have any genuine concern for lives lost at sea.
