Welcome to Auspol December. Image by MaliciousOnion. Last Month: Negligent trolled some people. Turnbull assigned Noted Child Torture Engineer Scott Morrison to the position of treasurer, this set off the LNP far right wing to denounce Morrison as their lord and savior and decided a potato was more right wing and deserving of their worship. Wyatt Roy drew the short straw and is the current LNP scapegoat. Boats were towed back to indonesia, Australia smuggled people onto shore, we were eventually told about this. The NBN got more expensive and fell further behind. The offshore detention centres were partly burned down in a riot, the media portrayed this as uppity browns being insolent. The riot was quelled with force. Tony Abbott said some stupid poo poo to europeans and the cameras recorded it instead of ignoring him, he came home and sat on the backbench. Blop Spitstorm's ratings dropped further, leadership speculation. yawn. Bench Stacking Racist bogan with a face tattoo claimed he wasnt racist and had a buddy from bangladesh he called Bangladesh. Fiona Patten tabled a bill to exclude protests from 150m of a sexual health clinic and the Victorian parliament passed it. Religious placard carriers were told to move. Boomers Raged, Bolt reported, Clive claimed responsibility for rolling Abbott. Scott Ludlum played D&D at PAX PARIS SYRIA Russian plane shot down, Bill shorten makes a face like a puckered rear end in a top hat, Turnbull winces. Discussion about speed limits More but this list is getting long. Whos in politics? The Australian Greens Placed first since almost everyone who regularly posts in this thread is a member. The Greens are a left wing party of hippies who have unreasonable and impractical policy ideas and an infantile fascination with fairness and decency. They stubbornly refuse to give up and accept that the only way to make real change in the world is to roll over and accept neoliberal rule. The Australian Labor Party The ineffective and incompetent right wing opposition party led by an empty suit. Subject to numerous attempts at "change from within" that would be laughable if they weren't so sad. As an ineffective alternative to the government it has meekly agreed with almost everything the government wants to do that involves the brutal treatment and dehumanisation of refugees. The Australian Liberal Party The Liberal Party stands for just about every wrong headed thing you can think of. As a result they are wildly popular among both the rich shithead and poor shithead demographics. Sadly these are large demographics in Australia. They have recently been reaching out to the Fascist demographic as well. Their only saving grace is that they are so incompetent that they can't do so much as sneeze without making GBS threads themselves publicly. Palmer United Party A comedy party led by Mining magnate Clive Palmer who is the only person who rightly treats public office like the media circus it is. He bids outgoing members goodbye and rehashes popular dance songs into campaign jingles while dressing in fursuits. The National Party <placeholder> The Australian Sex Party Like the Greens but with human policies put above environmental ones the ASP is led by Fiona Patten and would like to see drugs legalised, abortion legalised, reduced religious influence in politics and a bunch of other touchy feely stuff. Unf. Katters Australia Party A more functional National party resident in Queensland led by Bob Katter, a ten gallon hat wearing homophobe. There is an irc channel, #auspol on synirc where Australians discuss things, presumably dark spooky things that man was not meant to know. IRC Rules: Dont be a shithead, dont say racist, sexist, or nasty things. Dont discuss verboten topics. bumpunisher69 Heres a link to a past thread with more info in it. http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3739446 Now on with the show.

Yeah I joined the Tobacco and Gunpowder Party. It's a party for consenting adults who like to smoke the odd rollie and admire the craftsmanship of antique firearms. Nothing to do with any industry.

Then, in November of that year, Li Ruogu, the chairman and president of the Export-Import Bank of China, told Australia that its labour costs were too high and it needed more Chinese workers, urging a further opening of the labour market. quote:It is clear from global commercial examples that Chinese workers contracted for PRC economic activities abroad are usually paid their wages through accounts in China.

Got emailed a change.org petition about drug taking at festivals - was expecting it to be "PM Turnbull, more drug dogs and lock up drug users for life" type thing but instead was calling for "drug checkers" which are already in place in the UK. Anybody heard of these? Sounds like a good idea to at least avoid people taking mystery pills. Won't solve the issue of accidental OD due to police interference though.

Turns out nerds are very good at emailing people to fill out online forms so that everything's up to date. Their whole online system is pretty fascinating. They have digital ballots where you can vote on candidates and motions. Imagine if the other major parties used a similar system, maybe they would start be a little more accountable to their members hahahahaha.

If I was filmed wearing a company branded shirt shouting sexual abuse at a woman in public you'd bet I'd probably get fired. Same poo poo applies if you associate your social media account with your company.

If someone wants to associate their public and professional lives on social media then they waive any right not to have the two interfere with each other. I mean, if I posted my real name and employer on a big sign in my front yard and also wrote on it that I wished that minorities were thrown into a woodchipper then my employer has every right to publicly distance themselves from me.
