We're all so supportive of Mr Shorten through his RAPE allegations. It's really unfortunate that Bill Shorten could have been accused of RAPE, which is such an awful thing, and we of both side of the house come behind him in support during this troubling time and are so pleased that Mr Shorten was found to not be a RAPIST. There's even a statement here from the Communications Minister Mr Turnbull stating how Mr Shorten has his support as he understands how traumatic it would be to be accused of RAPE.

Be clear. That outcome won't be "40% reduction in embolisms", it will be "Spend less then $12 and don't prescribe expensive medications no matter what the side effects".

Nibbles! posted:I think we'll probably see even more of a shift away from news. News.com is already lovely click bait, they're trying to compete with the Mail now so it really is a race to the bottom. It's not just tabloids subsidising the Oz though - it's just their losses are less severe. Fox Sports and the shares in realestate.com.au are propping up even the least unprofitable papers.

Live stream of the Australian Human Rights Commission's inquiry into children in detention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvPPOTLRrrk Distressingly, I think Morrison performed well. Counsel Assisting needed to be much more of an attack dog, and the President slipped up embarrassingly a few times.

I haven't seen this get much coverage - but Palmer is changing his policy making it easier for his ETS to kick in by removing India and changing the conditions so countries with similar schemes count. I know he is a crazy self serving bastard, but I am an eternal optimist. Holding a summit on climate change right after the G20 is a top tier troll. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/clive-palmer-tones-down-conditions-for-emissions-trading-scheme-20140821-106u3o.html SMH posted:Clive Palmer has softened the conditions under which his proposed emissions trading scheme would be launched, in an attempt to attract more political support for a new price on carbon.

Pell's comments are pretty egregious given that a truck crashed in Adelaide this week, killing two and the company grounded the fleet as a result.

It is a champion of market forces and limitless flexibility for employees so that firms can remain profitable and can continue to hire workers and keep the overall unemployment rate down. For maximum lol, the article is written by an anonymous "senior economics commentator." Also
