Soag posted:yeah but is it better or worse than your typical australian? Considering the asylum seeker policies of both major parties, I fail to see how things would be worse if you'd replace them with a bunch of random pedestrians. In all honestly, those pedestrians would probably be more humane, having not been trained in law school to be amoral robots.

There's Australians, and then there's Australian Politicians. The former might be the scum of the earth, but the latter are some kind of terror from the deep.

People were just anxious about him because he was an unknown.

Anecdote time: My brother made a comment that he misheard someone on TV when they said "Us Aussies" as "Arseholes". I didn't see the difference.

There's something poetic about Hockey's comments, the budget and a photo of his car parked in a handicap space. But really it would be dumb and pointless to make it into a "thing".

I was specifically referring to the fact that internet warriors are arguing over whether it's Hockeys or the drivers fault. Altogether the package is slightly amusing. Drawing each individual part of it out to scrutinize and debate isn't. edit: Doctor Spaceman posted:The guy probably doesn't earn much, and hence isn't used to driving.

I think what we can take from this is that Joe Hockey has no empathy for the common man.

After receiving mild praise for his handling of MH17, Abbott has decided that he is a foreign policy genius, and will no doubt continue to offer his unsolicited opinions on international issues which he does not understand.

In other news the bland spread of the Coles/Woolworths duopoly continues in Perth with plans to bulldoze the genuinely vibrant and interesting Subiaco Station Street markets and imaginatively replace them with...... a Coles! This is approximately 100 metres from a large Woolworths and about 1km away from the nearest large Coles. I guess they've cottoned on to people having an option to buy fresh produce at less than half the cost of the large supermarkets and have decided to put a stop to it. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-08-12/plans-to-shut-down-subiaco-markets2c-open-mixed-office-and-com/5666336

I guess they've cottoned on to people having an option to buy fresh produce at less than half the cost of the large supermarkets and have decided to put a stop to it. Supermarkets always sell produce with a significant markup too. A friend of mine delivers fruit and veg to people's houses as part of his work and buys them from the same wholesaler that the Adelaide Central Markets get their's from. He sells avocados (at a profit) for 90 cents each. They're about $3 at Coles right now. It's funny, because they know that Australians don't even spend that much money on fresh food. I used to supervise in a supermarket on weekends when I was in undergrad and had access to daily sales figures. The cigarette counter out the front would often outsell fruit & veg, bakery and deli combined.
