Labor have interpreted the preferred PM numbers and now think that if they keep repeating the phrase Cayman Islands people will warm up to the idea that Malcolm Turnbull is too rich, Bill Shorten is one of us. Because you know, Shorten has so much in common with ordinary Australians that his mother in law was the Governor General.

Eight years ago James Bowen was an unemployed, recovering drug addict, who was staying in sheltered accommodation and supplementing his state benefits by busking and selling a magazine whose profits go to its homeless vendors. But things changed dramatically after he took in an injured stray ginger tom cat. James' books about Bob the Street Cat have sold millions of copies, a film about them is being made and James now promotes animal welfare. He's been speaking to Weekend's Julian Worricker - appropriately on the streets of London - who asked him how Bob had changed his life?

Mr Dutton's comments come a day after he introduced legislation to tighten requirements for asylum seekers applying for protection. If passed, he said the existence of a consistent pattern of mass violation of human rights would not meet the threshold. People will also be denied protection if they could "take reasonable steps" to modify their behaviour, unless that behaviour was "fundamental" to their identity. 'stop being gay/muslim/female'

If you are a minister you should have your assets held at arms length. It is generally not a good idea to have an interest in the companies you regulate, such as Telstra. 2. A large number of Australian super funds are also invested in Caymans registered funds. Including Bill Shorten's. Turnbull paid Australian tax on the investments. 3. How often do members of the public read the reports of mid sized privately owned businesses? Almost never. You know who does? Their rivals and competitors.

Unimpressed posted:I think many of the same people (i.e. Labor/Coalition) would vote differently if they weren't bound by their parties' power structures. They aren't. Nothing at all in Australian law requires them to vote with party policy they think is evil. Nothing in Australian law requires them to vote in line with any party policy. All they potentially lose is the little [liberal] or [labor] tag next to their name at the next election, which makes it unlikely they'll keep their job. Everyone who votes for awful poo poo like our indefinite detention island prison camps for children is doing so because they don't think it is evil, or even worse they know it is evil and vote for it for their paycheck .

Isn't that just rationalizing it? There are many impossible moral dilemmas to be sure, but at the end of the day if there is no sufficient consequence for voting along party lines then its the line of least resistance. It takes an uncommon person to take that risk of losing their position on a moral choice and by then they're just as prone to the sunk cost fallacy as anyone. No one in a marginal seat will dare try it, few in non-marginal seats have to worry about it (because that's why they got preselected there). The system self-selects who is going to play the game in other words.

For some reason I interpreted that as ABC new reporting on a section of the West Gate bridge collapsing 45 minutes ago. Maybe I should sleep. In the Melbourne World Trade Centre there used to be a small exhibit on the collapse on the mezzanine level. I'm not sure if it's still there as it was 4+ years ago. It was something I never knew about until I saw the exhibit.
