So what's the deal with sportsbet, do they screw you out of your money if it's a hung parliament or a labor/greens coalition? Is that why they've got such long odds?

Much like poor people vote for high income tax cuts because they know one day they'll be millionaires, the ALP don't want any policies that will alienate their future base of right wing hicks.

Hey that Courier Fail article about asylum seekers trading cigarettes with ARE TAX DOLLARS (you are giving them away for free, wtf did you think they would do with them?) is followed up with an article the next page about why spending hundreds of millions on stadiums is great and Scott Morrison is good.

Stadiums are pretty much always a boondoggle. The one in WA is like $1bn and the AFL aren't contributing gently caress all even though they will be the major beneficiary. It's not like between the AFL and the two local teams they couldn't have raised a big chunk of cash, interest rates are low and they are super profitable.

reading comments about the greens is truly insightful 'The greens are just the LNP lite!! They keep voting for LNP bills!' 'Labor votes with the LNP 6 times as much as the greens' 'Exactly!! If the greens stop siding with the LNP I'll go back to Labor!!' 'The greens are crazy if they think Labor will enter a coalition with them again!!' 'What if a minority government is elected?' 'Well obviously the greens will have to enter a coalition with Labor!!' these people are actually retarded

Because it's just funneling public money into private pockets. Lots of people make lots of money from professional sport, they can pay for their own equipment.

This morning in "Man in hole desperately defecates in a bid to swim free' http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2016/s4463520.htm quote:Australia Institute's report on planned company tax cut is 'fanciful': Mathias Cormann That report yesterday on why corporate tax cuts were a poorly thought through debarkle? "OH NO IT ISN'T!" Screams Mathias Corman despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. My favourite bit was how a previous bit of modelling assumed full employment in generating wages growth data  and the Treasury modelling indicating a whooping 0.1% decrease in unemployment due to the proposed tax cut. JOBS AND GROWTH!!! See if I yell it loud enough it becomes true!Apparently legal aid is about to collapse nationally and 2015 hotest year on record with 2016 about to beat it http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/05/16/global-warming-climate-change-greenhouse-gas-emissions/84224490/ oh and the worlds largest refugee camp in Kenya is about to close. http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/kenya-threatens-to-close-world%27s-largest-refugee/7420140 Jobs and growth!

I can't quite tell if the NZ housing crisis is a warning for Australia in the future or a hidden element of Australia in the present. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/may/17/new-zealand-housing-crisis-forces-hundreds-to-live-in-garages-tents-and-cars eta: "hidden" as in we hear about people living with their parents into their 30s but, to my knowledge, they're usually in spare bedrooms rather than sheds and tents.

TBH I've been pretty lucky in my life and haven't really encountered anyone so actively anti-gay, so to be reminded that these people exist is a little disconcerting. I'm sure there's more/worse out there for sure.
