There was recently a case where a young indigenous man spent the weekend in jail, and afterwards, nobody could work out why.

To "commit political suicide", or an act/decision being considered "political suicide" is pretty common parlance. In the context of what Palmer was saying, it's pretty drat clear this is what he meant. But of course the media will have a field day with it because it'll generate far more hits/reads than boring poo poo like data retention, the TPP, our Iraq deployments, actually being governed, etc, and it'll be helped along by armchair internet lefties looking for their next moral outrage crusade that requires no actual thought on their behalf, just being angry because Palmer said a bad word.

If this was Abbott or Morrison saying this we would never ever try to make it a media blow up and instead it would be used to re-enforce the views we already have of them being stupid and callous and even if context was given we wouldn't be an apologist no more than "poo poo happens". Don'0t bend the rules because its not your enemy in the limelight and always, always look at a situation as if your most reviled politician said it and see if that at all changes your reaction. What Clive said was loving dumb and will haunt him and it will be blared louder because of the media make up but at no point should we then flip it to be tjat he, an elected MP of federal office, is a victim.

Oh get hosed. I've routinely stood up and said "yeah, this is overblown as poo poo" regardless of the side of politics. If you can't manage that, that's fine. He misstepped by not including "political" before suicide, but this is a total loving beatup - it pisses me off all the more as someone who does suffer from chronic depression, because I've already seen people out and about going "but suicide is are sers thingggg!!11". No poo poo. But how about tackling the actual causes, of which this is not one.

Les Affaires posted:Glad to see some ribald discussion from yesterday. Tonight I will follow up with a sequel about what is likely to happen during and after a "bubble bursting". The Sunk Cost Fallacy figures large in several ways about home ownership: - Mortgage payments cheaper than rent, for example (and I know someone in that position in a capital city but it's a rabbit hutch really) - the concept of rent as "dead money" (sure I'll just get in my time machine and make a better decision next time!), and of course - "I can't stop/can't move because I've paid so much off" So it's not purely the emotive term of ownership, it's the fallacy of defining value on the basis that you define value, and as people are saying, there's no security to base that fallacy on any more, but it still applies because people are nuts about houses.

Sussan Ley used the term "supreme fail" in QT. Also, Ley asked to be allowed to continue listing ALP failures in health in response to a question about bulk billing. By 'continue listing', I am referring to a previous question where Ley just went on and on about labor waste in health, to the point where Bishop told her to sit down. Bishop allowed Ley to go on... gently caress me dead, Bishop is terrible

MaxwellsEquations posted:Sussan Ley used the term "supreme fail" in QT. Peter Slipper was too good for this parliament. What a speaker. I doubt (unlike say Albo) I'd enjoy sharing a beer or even talking to him but he took the office seriously in all the right ways and a couple of unnecessarily ceremonial but hilarious ones. But he got knifed. And now he's exonerated but of course he was always going to be, it was an obvious stitch up at the time. Not that his electorate seemed to notice. Mal loving Brough of all people sitting there now and their patsy James Ashby hung out to dry. gently caress this fascist fetish earth Cirofren fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Mar 5, 2015 |

It just so happens I have the whole thing saved in a word document at home. I can tidy it up, and add some extra bits. I need some feedback from Auspol though. What would be the best form that something detailed like that would take shape as?
