A group run by a Christian fundamentalist and a literal Nazi won't support trangender rights I heard they did register as a party but missed the deadline for this election or something. So on the off chance they haven't cannibalised themselves (again) in the next 3 1/2 years they could have a chance at getting a senate seat, assuming they can find eligible candidates (for example, people who haven't been convicted of stalking and arson)

Labor arent being a small target on the economy though. For an opposition party they are being a very big target. They made that clear by going after negative gearing. Bowen is setting the economic agenda right now and morrison is reacting. For all the coalition bluster about morrison being the next big thing hes struggling to see off a man with a funny beard. Labor were awful in the first year or so of opposition and they still have many policies i find personally distasteful but they are performing extremely well over the last year. Especially at framing the debate. They have seen off one prime minister in record speed and have pulled an extremely popular moderate to 50/50 polling with bill shorten.

It's all reactive though. Why is negative gearing such a brainwave now? It's been a problem for years. Ditto talking up the "transition from the mining boom" oh yeah and if you're so loving prescient, why have you coasted since then? The trouble with debates like this is that it's all framed from the point of reference of a class of people who genuinely have no connection to the bulk of the society they think they're leading. I'm including the media in that too. They always need the next thing, the next distraction while they're doing their little deals on the side when they think people aren't looking. The ALP have been two steps backwards for 20 loving YEARS now. The LNP's slow implosion is no gift to them or any of us, it just means more instability for a bunch of people who aren't accustomed to actually having to work for their politics, that's a bad place for a backwaters Asian US satellite to be in.

Even when rudd won in 07 they were like we are just as neo liberal as howard dont worry guys. Now that was a small target opposition

Gods this is bad. Bike chat may be our only hope:'Four wheels good, two wheels bad': NSW's war on cyclists continues posted:It’s been over a month since the new “cycling safety” rules came into force in New South Wales. Despite the protests of numerous cycling groups armed with a petition of over 10,000 signatures and a disallowance motion tabled in state parliament by Greens MP, Mehreen Faruqi, the government appears intent on punishing two-wheeled human-powered road users.

Oh no. Federal Opposition Leader Bill Shorten has stated he would accept a drop on Sunday penalty rates if it was recommended by the Fair Work Commission. Oh no. "I'd accept the independent tribunal," Mr Shorten said in an interview with radio station 3AW. Mr Shorten went on to criticise the Government for abolishing the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal, arguing it was evidence the Coalition was not willing to accept advice from independent bodies about pay rates. The Opposition Leader went on to reaffirm his support for keeping penalty rates in place. Oh no??? I support keeping penalty rates unless this tribunal says otherwise but I still support penalty rates?

open24hours posted:Or someone is targeting you? Or there's a problem with the system, or something that's out of your control prevented you from delivering good service, ... It doesn't take a particularly vivid imagination to think of a situation where you could get bad reviews without being at fault. There are good reasons for unfair dismissal laws, developing an app that lets you give people star ratings doesn't do anything to invalidate those reasons. So you update the laws to protect people from unfair dismissal due to star ratings. If customers keep complaining about an employee you can usually fire them quite easily. What about a star rating is really any different? If the rating system is abused in a particular driver's case or it's weighted too much against the drivers then the courts can rule unfair dismissal. You could also have a driver's union that protects drivers from unfair dismissal, or have legislation lay out the grounds of dismissal based on star ratings. Just looking at the status quo and declaring it anti-worker is not the way.

Cabchat: I don't know what the gently caress you guys are talking about but I have the 13CABS app and it does everything people are saying a taxi app should. I can make a booking, provide a destination address, estimate a fare, see where my cab is, even give a review out of 5 stars for both the driver and the cab, as well as leave comments. The only thing it doesn't let me do is pay via the app.

We haven't yet talked about the absurdity of the baby boomer that pays $300k or so for a taxi license, then takes a big chunk out the cabbies earnings for the privilege of using that license, and as a result the pay is terrible and attracts the dodgiest kind of people.

Being able to rate taxi drivers is probably the last thing the industry wants. Not because it's anti worker but because they want to avoid community contact as much as possible.
