Morrison's press club address consisted of him saying nothing for so long that he avoided too many questions about why he said nothing.

Should staff cut him off or should we maybe not rely on something as subjective as an opinion and as easily manipulated by someone's fear of losing their job? Mandatory pre-commitment, maybe a drinks per hour limit too, to booze and gambling seems like a pretty nice way to ditch the RSA / RCG and take the subjectivity out of it.

Just saw the local council amalgamation ad that NSW are putting out. The Ad posted:The system is broken It's hard not to disagree with this point but it really takes pains to avoid sitting there and saying that it's broken because politicians are corrupt fucks and won't do anything to disrupt the gravy train. Bigger councils won't do poo poo to stop developers doing the poo poo they do, it just means they have a bigger reach. Solemn Sloth posted:A licence to get munted?

And that joke of a report hasn't helped her cause, it's just made it obvious who wants ICAC defanged. They've got to be screaming at Baird, but he seems quite happy to let things run their course, which is very smart.

The problem with the RSA is that it's the responsible service of alcohol, not the responsible consumption. It puts bars on the front foot the second someone is drinking too much or causing a ruckus, they get kicked out. Then they can't get in anywhere else, they get mad, aggressive and eventually ruin someone else's night either directly or indirectly. If you didn't have bars itching to kick out pissheads they'd likely stay in a venue and drink themselves stupid until they want to leave. By all means kick out trouble makers who are starting fights or being otherwise rampant dickheads but Most people can have 20 beers in a night and all they will do is get a bit shouty. Big deal. I mean it's basically what happens now except you have bouncers everywhere looking for a reason to exert force on someone. RSA just gives them a reason to do it.

It's the LNP way, matey potatey.

Repeating the tired catch-alls from the NTATA era isn't that. He looked like a drowning man and sounded like he was struggling to believe what was coming out of his mouth. Yes SM plenty of people at the Press Club didn't agree with you. Those were the ones more qualified to be treasurer of the Nation than you are. Indeed it would have been timely for SM to make a comment on the jobs figures: http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-02-17/jobs-data-unreliable-as-unemployment-likely-to-be-steady/7176814 quote:Jobs data unreliable as unemployment likely to remain at 5.8 per cent By business reporter Neal Woolrich Posted about 3 hours ago

It's like a special secret round of pass the parcel where unless you are on the right side the parcel is a complete outrage. Like I said before There will definitely be some scalps come out of all this but nobody knows whos. My money is on some LNP people but as they are in power and have key players in many critical roles it might be someone in the ALP or some random bystander.

My feeling is that Baird et al will use this to clear out some dead wood while maintaining deniability. They need to keep away from the rather dirty coal (lol) issues that ICAC has brought up. This is partly why the Cunneen thing has blown up in the first place: trying to get pressure off them by angry rich people who feel wronged by ICAC. If Cunneen/Levine get their way, ICAC is soiled and we can all forget about those embarrassing links with mining and developer interests. If not, well, then Baird has a bigger problem than just the original one because the legal profession is in uproar over this, too. It's a big delicious mud pie Committee leaks are just the sludge on top of it!

Crown prosecutor Margaret Cunneen was a "special guest" at a fundraiser for the Rev Fred Nile's political party shortly after he questioned her nemesis, anti-corruption chief Megan Latham, at a parliamentary inquiry. Now Mr Nile is preparing to vote on the committee conducting the inquiry when it decides whether to release explosive telephone intercepts that Ms Cunneen is trying to prevent from becoming public.

A vote that is meaningless as the LNP have the numbers to vote for whatever they like. This isn't wholly a bad thing™. The whole proposition has become such a row of dominos perched on a knife edge that further entrenching themselves into a bunker of ridiculous defences just ensures scalps when it all comes unravelled. http://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/icac Mr Damien TUDEHOPE (Lib, LA Member).
