Les Affaires posted:So given our voting system has changed, do you think we should commission an updated version of this comic? That comic was only ever meant to explain about the House of Reps, but unfortunately I made it in such a rush that that was never properly clear, and caused some confusion as a result. I'd been wanting to make an improved and more polished version before the next election, and now that that's imminent, and especially now that the Senate changes have gone through, I really need to... but unfortunately I can't; I am overburdened with work at the moment and probably will be until the end of July, barring some sort of miracle. PS. Stop replying to Catbert you fools.

I know posting about posting is tedious, but could people please stop replying to Libertycat? You open up the thread and fully a third of the new posts are people replying to his incredibly obvious and tedious trolling. We've got an election coming up, there is plenty of interesting stuff to talk about, why are you spending your time typing out replies to someone who says things like "Welfare recipients aren't people"? Just put him on ignore and move on.

Yeah look there's almost no way LibertyCat isn't just an elaborate trolling account. It's all just way too perfect, even down the "My parents have a farm" thing. On the off chance it's a legit person then you can just laffo at the dumb stereotype libertarian.

Majestic posted:We've got an election coming up, there is plenty of interesting stuff to talk about, why are you spending your time typing out replies to someone who says things like "Welfare recipients aren't people"? Possibly because at least one of the major parties agrees with him. Nevertheless, ignore Catbert, he will land hard one day and needs no help from us. I can't help but be amused at Barrie Cassidy's fear of chaos Drum column. The bloggers I follow like Andrew Elder and pipingshrike have seen this eventuality pretty much from the date Cassidy gives, 2007 and I agree with them that a minority government isn't the evil Barrie implies. Of course he'd imply that - he doesn't want to admit that the media adore chaos, they get great backgrounding - the shoe will be on the other foot for the Libs, and they haven't been tested in a minority government like the ALP. There's every reason to think they'll do worse because they cannot manage compromise without enraging their hardcore right. As Jeremy Sear noted the other night, this is a government going to an election without a single Budget passed. Cassidy gives a sop to the Libs by claiming without a shred of evidence that Shorten would be no better, forgetting that Shorten has had the experience of being in the management team of a minority government that worked. So whatever I think of his other faults, I doubt Shorten would seriously stuff that up. And their politicking vs the Greens would be curtailed, they're simply not that stupid. And we should be concerned at how well Xenophon in particular might do in a DD, because he will use that power and could be a real thorn in everyone's side.

Can we talk about how in recent ahem. The LNP has been calling the removal of negative gearing the "socialisation of housing" and wording opposition as "keeping big government out of the housing market" because the ahem I've been hearing and reading seems to be testing language.

Th-that's... Removing negative gearing would be, empirically and overtly, keeping big government out of the housing market. This is as wrong as you can physically get.

Muir hasn't dwelled upon the issue. He raced home to put the finishing touches on his new car, a blue-black 1998 Holden Calais with a 5-litre V8 engine that he bought for $1750 and has spent $400 modifying by pulling out some seats, unbolting the exhaust (makes it louder, sorry neighbours), locking up the back diff, lowering it and fitting mag wheels, ready to make its debut in the "Tyre Warfare" burnout challenge at Gippsland Motorplex yesterday. He built the car, which he's christened "Politically Incorrect", to demonstrate that legal motor events can be as fun and cheap as street racing. A senator blowing the rear tyres of a Holden sedan is an unusual sight. But not as unusual as a senator putting principle before self-interest. Enjoy it while you can.

So negative gearing is off the table, not sure how they will fund the handouts and corporate tax cuts in the budget when they keep ruling out the easy money like negative gearing

With more debt, obviously. Probably a few cuts to services that will massively increase misery and only have a marginal effect on the budget too.

The prime minister says increasing supply of land and changing residential zoning is a better solution to housing affordability In a further indication of the Coalition’s election policies Michaelia Cash, the employment minister, told Sky News the government would back a policy of “incremental” industrial relations changes. Driving down the value of the most important asset for most Australians is not a strategy for economic growth and enhanced prosperity.” Turnbull and Morrison nominated increasing the supply of land and changing zoning for residential construction as the solution to housing affordability. Cash said homeowners would be harmed “if you take $1 off [the value of] their house, the asset they have worked hard for, that’s going to see them to retirement”. http://gu.com/p/4tt6z

Lol so the solution to negative gearing is to change zoning to let tax dodging investors build more houses that will remain empty because rent seekers are scum? Cool. I will never afford a house.

Went doorknocking for the first time today. Surprisingly pleasant. Some people tell you to keep up the good work, the ones that hate you won't talk to you in the first place so you're golden. The roughest part was the greens supporter who hated our senate reform voting, which was admittedly still a very manageable conversation.

Seriouspost: our company hires a number of people with autism for pretty specific roles (e.g. our deployment team who have to fastidiously follow checklists and do everything meticulously), and we're looking to add some testers with similar skillsets. The ACS and Curtin do some stuff with AASQA (Autism Academy for Software Quality Assurance) that we're partnering with, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with similar stuff?
