A politician tries to look cuddly while frightening a cat: This is why you never see Australian politicians try it. Also lol at Bishop, it says something that this story has effectively been out for days and the most reaction I've seen is a meh on Twitter.

ScreamingLlama posted:The video in question: The second two yeah, but the first? We know that animal agriculture is the biggest cause of global warming (yes, cow farts etc, it's not just a joke). If you're able to remove animal products from your life you're making more of an impact than limiting your shower time or catching a bus instead of driving. And the only reasons vegans are so insufferable is because most animals have some level of understanding of their own existence, so it's a moral thing too. gently caress you instead, guy, go read a book about it first

Full dislclosure, my friend when I was about seventeen paid this guy in his late thirties he worked with to teach him PUA junk. That older guy turned out to be a serial rapist who raped two good friends of mine, and a friend's 15 year old sister. When one of those friends, in tears, told my good ol' buddy what had happened, he said she wanted it, and was lying I very much do not like that community The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Jan 20, 2016 |

The Australian federal police accidentally revealed the personal details of an assault victim to the alleged perpetrator, risking the safety of the complainant and his family, according to an AFP risk assessment. The lapse is one of seven serious privacy and security breaches the AFP has suffered since 2012. Details of the breaches, which have all been referred to the privacy commissioner, have been obtained under freedom of information laws (FoI) by Guardian Australia. The referrals reveal a number of errors in the handling of personal information, some of which appear to have stemmed from failure by AFP officers to properly redact or handle personal information. The federal government’s mandatory data retention laws, which came into force in October, allowed law enforcement and other government agencies to collect much more digital personal information. A draft bill of new data breach laws, released in December, will also require organisations and government agencies to make compulsory notifications to the privacy commissioner. The most serious lapse revealed in the AFP documents is a June 2012 disclosure of the middle name and surname of a victim of an assault to the alleged perpetrator. The disclosure was accidentally made in documents released in response to an FoI request by the alleged perpetrator, which had been incorrectly redacted.

I think the thing with PM Turnbull, especially compared to basically every government from Rudd onwards, is that he's got his poo poo under control. Everyone since Howard has kinda felt like it was only a matter of time before they hosed up and got booted, but Turnbull--partly because of playing it safe, partly because of being better at putting on a good public face, partly because of a loving useless opposition--doesn't feel like a failure waiting to happen. If anything sinks him it's either going to be external, or a WorkChoices-style fuckup that's yet to happen.

Re: visa cancelling, it's political to me because they haven't actually committed any crime per se, and it reminds me of students protesting against universities allowing certain speakers; I'd rather see the shithead speaker show up and then have a protest. And this is how it always starts: with somebody we can all agree about. Not a single reasonable person would argue that a PUA/MRA dude has worthwhile opinions. It starts with the people who are widely despised, and then it inches its way along and soon you'll see Dutton cancelling the visas of, for example, somebody who works for Save the Children or Amnesty International and has dastardly plans to disrupt our border protection policies.
