In some countries the constitution forbids retrospective legislation. Shame we don't live in one.

Unrelated: John Howard said yesterday that gun control was a significant contributor to the rise of One Nation. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/conversations/john-howard-gun-control-20-years-on-from-port-arthur/7133042 quote:I have no doubt that discontent about gun laws played some role in the emergence of One Nation under Pauline Hanson. It wasn't the main reason, but it was a subsidiary and quite important reason. A lot of people who felt part of the gun culture, and I'm not talking about farmers here, I'm talking about people who like firing guns for fun, may have seen themselves as the part of society that had been passed by by economic change and felt left out and alienated. Pauline Hanson appealed to them.

Imagine a government in this day an age willing to see through a difficult change for the betterment of the country at the expense of personal power. What a world that would be.

Originally I didn't like the Pavel posts. Because I am at work and having a brightly coloured nearly naked muscleman wasn't really what I wanted to be seen looking at at work. However relative to man's inhumanity to man they've made a strong showing. Now I'd rather look at lycra muscleman than read more depressing poo poo about our refugee torture program. Well played sexy beardman, well played. EDIT: W I Z A R D M A S T E R

Hey, just a lurker here but could you all maybe cut back on the Pavel stuff? It makes the thread really uncomfortable to read and given the state of Australian Politics it's kind of uncomfortable enough by default!

More Pavel please! I'm in on the joke, and laugh out loud every single time those images are posted. This is because I have a sophisticated sense of humor, and not because I'm an old dullard who has a vague sense of what "internet culture" is and try to replicate it like a cargo cult member.

I would also like to point out that using the phrase "uncomfortable", is perhaps not the right wording to use when presented with pornographic imagery, since it his homosexual pornography and I, as an enlightened left wing man, remain perfectly placid when looking at pornography of this nature. So, please keep me, a placid, cool, but offended man, in your thoughts next time you think about using words like "uncomfortable" when shown images of naked bodies in a supposedly neutral context.

The organiser of the Return of Kings' meetings worldwide, Daryush 'Roosh' Valizadeh, has taken his organisation back underground just two days after declaring it was time to "come out of the shadows" and not hide behind computer screens. "It's time to go underground in the cities that threaten the safety of my supporters," he wrote on a microblogging site. NEW RECORD

I don't really want to get into this whole thing again since it's extremely easy to twist into me looking like a rape defender, but I'm still not comfortable with the minister having sole discretion over that poo poo. There needs to be some due process.

EDIT: ^^^ Agree: Banning shitheads good, no due process bad. gently caress Labor, gently caress them for passing a retrospective "Torture refugees" bill that means the government wins in the high court. Labor you have no loving purpose, you aren't an opposition you're a cowardly accomplice.

There was a front page article on one of the main papers this morning quoting Paul Keating saying that the GST shouldn't be raised, not because it would be unfair and an idiotic step back towards the 19th century, but because it would encourage reckless spending. Was Paul Keating, not John Howard, our Ronald Reagan?

There is a really good story on background briefing at the moment about an asylum seeker who was hosed over by ministerial stupidity. While in a detention center, he got into a fight in the cafeteria. No one was seriously hurt. But he, along with four other men, were later convicted of a felony over it. 6 month suspended sentence. This was extremely bad timing, because Tony Abbott, from opposition, was agitating for all asylum seekers convicted of a crime to be denied entry. The Immigration minister at the time, (Chris Bowen, I believe), directly intervened with this guy was accepted as a refugee, and put him back in detention. He stayed there for four years, his fate in total limbo. Ministers simply cannot be trusted with judicial power. They are too beholden to the whims of fickle politics. The fact that they can even be vested with this power is a systemic failure on the constitutional level. I believe that the minister having the power to deny individual entry visas is similarly destructive, and the fact that we are being made used to it with easy examples like this rape apologist POS is only more worrying. Here's the podcast. Seriously worth a listen, to hear how the wheels of injustice turn around policy failures like this http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/backgroundbriefing/why-did-fazel-chegeni-nejad-have-to-die/7007656

Note he said that he hasn't actually applied for a visa - like Waleed said on the Project last night it was probably all hot air for attention and book sales.
