Rhys Muldoon once told me they all used to tease the deaf presenter

Like, be talking to her and then put their hands over their mouths and say "gently caress you" or something

Muldoon's a weird guy, it might just'a been him

Regardless of whether that's true or not, why the hell would he tell that story to anyone?

My sister moved there from Melbourne. She loves it. The food is great, they have cool festivals. It's super cheap and very pretty (and cold). She manages to live on a combo of dole/waitressing/barista/festival jobs.

Lid: Feb 18, 2005; And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Brisbane taxi drivers charged over attacks on Uber drivers

Police say two men were part of a group who allegedly punched drivers and another motorist, stole one of their phones and damaged their cars

Two taxi drivers have been charged over allegedly targeted attacks against Uber drivers who where sitting in their cars in central Brisbane.

The drivers, aged 26 and 29 from Calamvale, were allegedly part of a group who attacked two Uber drivers and another motorist mistaken for an employee of the ridesharing app early on Monday morning at Fortitude Valley and Kangaroo Point.

The group allegedly punched the drivers, stole one of their phones and damaged the cars before fleeing.

The two men will appear in Brisbane magistrates court on Friday charged with a string of offences including assault occasioning bodily harm, stealing and unlawful entry of a vehicle.

The arrests come amid rising frustrations among taxi drivers, who claim the app is operating illegally in Queensland.

An independent review of the state�s taxi plan is not due until next August.

Former Main Roads director general Jim Varghese was on Wednesday appointed to review the plan, which expires this year and includes limousine and ride-share services.

Transport minister Jackie Trad has fended off calls from both sides to act, insisting her government will not rush the process.
Meanwhile police say their investigations into the recent assaults are continuing.

Unsurprising.

Nauru backtracks on vow to process asylum claims within week

The Nauruan government says it will not have 600 refugee applications finalised within a week, despite making that commitment just days ago.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-10-08/nauru-backtracks-on-vow-to-process-asylum-claims-within-week/6839250

Big surprise. Other key points: 75 percent of the 400 processed have been found to be genuine refugees WHICH WE'VE SPENT BILLIONS ON TORTURING GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY THAT.

# ? Oct 8, 2015 12:50

Solemn Sloth: Jul 11, 2015; Baby you can shout at me,
But you can't need my eyes.

75% seems low given other processing results, probably closer to 90 with a thorough appeals process

It's not a joke. I'm disgusted the ABC is pushing drug culture onto our children at such an early age.

Next time you're snorting coke with your ABC hipster friend at a absinthe bar in Surry Hills, tell her she should be ashamed of herself.

I'd say it would be worth filing complaints about the 'Australia cares too much about mental health' during mental health week, at least, but I'm pretty sure a standards board wouldn't be able to do much with that, and it might bring controveresy-attention to the show that it doesn't deserve.

Most of your forefathers voted Liberal until WWI & WWII came along, and then they suddenly decided they didn't want Zionist NWO governments that have killed over 100,000 Aussie soldiers fighting European civil wars running the country. The only war Labor has ever gotten us into was Bob Hawke and the first Gulf War, and that's because he is an unabashed Zionist who did exactly what the Zionist/American clique told him to do.

The Liberal Party was founded in 1945 and Zionists were responsible for neither World War. Was your post satirical/ironic in some way I'm missing, because it seems really inappropriately preoccupied with Zionism.
