Just got polled on the Sale of Medibank. Most of the questions were all around whether I would invest in the IPO and what things I would like to see as incentives to pre-register for the IPO. No questions around actually supporting the sale.

Sounds about right. QLD had their own survey and even on their rigged terms, they went welp going to ignore all that.

Gough Suppressant posted:Victoria to introduce ten year mandatory sentences for "one punch kills" Threaten your wife/girlfriend/children with violence or actually be violent against them - a slap on the wrist Of course there are so many cases of one punch kills compared to domestic violence in the community, I am glad the government has its priorities right

A while back I wondered how long till they merged the gun-wielding police academy dropouts with ticket inspectors. Turns out it's happened already. Just saw two PSOs pull a guy up and write him a fine when he didn't touch off at a non-turnstiles station.

Mandatory laws just end up been a tool for the DDP anyway, it ends up anyone involved pleading guilty for a lessor offence rather then take the risk and not getting their day in court if there were facts for dispute.

The one hit punch mandatories are tied into manslaughter too. Just say you meant to kill the bastard and you're a better chance of getting off lightly.

I want to plant a mosque. I wonder how often it needs to be watered and fed. But also, which laws have they imported into Australia? Must be a pretty long list if people are that bent out of shape! Which Islamic culture have they imported? I'm really into Indonesian food and gamelan orchestras so I hope it's that The Before Times fucked around with this message at 11:47 on Aug 17, 2014 |

I'm just impressed they went to the effort to localise spelling and even find an appropriate picture for the left, but they left the Ground Zero WTC thing in. Couldn't find an appropriate picture of Bendigo?

Some of the comments on that "How to Talk Australians" video are class:quote:There humor isn't even funny, but simply disrespectful. Not only is it an over exaggerated interpretation of tradition Australian vernacular but has been falsified. Whether this is intentionally done or not, there's a limit to how far you take it. quote:I'm wondering about them whining about "racism" so much while they are being racist?

SadisTech posted:Can't put a tenant in. It's exclusively owner occupied, people own the structures on the sites and pay rent to the park. What I'm selling is the structures. It isn't a real estate sale. Additionally, residents of the park have to be approved by management before they can make a purchase so there's no way to slip someone in under the radar. I've been paying rent on the thing for almost 3 months now while waiting for an answer on whether I would be allowed to sell it. The price is not large because some repairs are needed and every week's rent I have to pay is eating into what I can expect to get back on it. At this point taking up the sole offer I've had to purchase the place is not a bad option at all - as long as I can get something legally binding put together. Ahh - I thought this would be more like a real estate sale. If the structures that he would be buying are not able to be used as collateral for a loan then that would explain why he can't get finance for it and makes the deal look much less dodgy. I'd still be hesitant about it, but it no longer sound like you should run screaming.

I love this stuff, because underneath it all there's a basic fear that the rest of the world will reciprocate the treatment they've suffered at the hands of Europeans for centuries. Do unto others, etc.

So, who wants to guess at the next Liberal leader? Turnbull doesn't have support, Bernardi is too crazy but might plausibly take the position (although, Senator). Newscorp have been writing Bishop puff pieces about her mangling her lizard features into approximations of sadness re: MH17 dead kids, so that might be a hint.

Julie Asbestos Bishop is too dead inside for it to work, if you've ever been in her presence there's definitely a chill about. e. I remember not too long ago when the turnbull leadership challenge poo poo was going on, some poll had Julie Bishop as 1% favourite for the leadership.

Murodese posted:So, who wants to guess at the next Liberal leader? If forcing Howard out of retirement at gun point isn't an option Julia Bishop or Turnbull do seem the likely choices. Bishop seems to have much more support from the right, but if the polls get bad enough I could see them going with Turnbull basically just becasue of how much distance he's been trying to make between himself and Abott since the election. Try and get as clean a slate as possible.
