I have the OST to Backdraft sitting on a hard drive because of Iron Chef, it just suits the over the top style of the show so well. EDIT: Hiroyuki Sakai forever.

Richard Ackland did a good writeup of the Hockey trial, it lays out the problems for both sides, and does a better job of showing why defamation law needs reform than I could. As Ackland is careful to say, the judge has to weigh whether the defence is sufficient but also to weigh whether the prosecution case isn't also overblown. Hockey's reputation is even lower: he'll get a pyrrhic victory if at all.

I'm on the road this week. Ironically in Tasmania and I just read about Abbott and the giant onion. What provisions are there in the constitution to compel him to undergo testing for his fitness to be the PM? Side note, that Pope is a magnificent return to form.

The constitution doesn't make any references to even the existence of a PM, but there is a pretty extensive history and legal precedent in the Constitution regarding onions, the consumption of, in public etc. The government has the power to legislate with respect to onions under the s51xxvi head of power (colloquially known as the 'onion power') which was found to include situations involving important figures consuming raw onion in certain situations but I could only find obiter dicta regarding the consumption of the skin The Commonwealth v Costanza (1993) 69 CLA 420.

I met the socialist equality party in marrickville this morning, real nice bunch of people! I didn't realise I was a pro war pro capitalist right wing fucker for being a member of the greens but I'm glad they let me know! Who knew the situation in Ukraine was such a serious issue in the upcoming nsw state election. More self appointed heroes on the working class woo. I would hate to see them communicate with the average member of the working class in this country if they're that rude to a socialist blue collar worker like me.

Well Bob Brown did lead the charge advocating for a "no fly zone" against Gaddafi when all that was going down in 2011. So there's a tick in the pro-war column for the Greens.

They're shying away from using "socialism" as a descriptor because they have no idea how to reclaim it or rebut those who use it as a pejorative. That's the optimistic explanation, at least. I don't think I want to know the real reason.

Ragingsheep posted:https://newmatilda.com/2015/03/13/inside-department-explosive-leaked-transcripts-moss-review I think the thing that had the greatest impact on me was just the scale of the unrest, the large injury toll that was inflicted upon people, the fact that in the case of Manus, it got beyond the point where we couldn’t control it. And as you know, what happened with Manus [was] people wielding machine guns, assault rifles and effectively the PNG mobile squad broke down the fence, fired tear gas and then followed that with rounds of automatic shotgun (sic) at people who were unarmed, and they were joined by Salvation Army local staff, who came and absolutely beat the poo poo out of large numbers of people and killed a man.”

There's plenty of poo poo housing being built. In Melbourne there were plenty of lovely dogbox apartment towers, and then you go 50-60km from the CBD there's these houses on tiny blocks that barely have a backyard.

If that's the case you may as well just stack the lovely houses on top of each other and use a quarter of the land. I'd say no backyard is better than a tiny terrible one.

The quality of the housing doesn't matter. It's distance and accessability to economic opportunity does. You could put up a high rise of 100 lovely dog box apartments, but if they're next to the CBD, it will fill up instantly - and displace 100 less lovely, larger homes on the outskirts where public transport and jobs are nonexistant.
