They still win because the ALP went with public opinion to pick the most OP heros, leaving them with 6 Bastion units.

Young Liberals: Liberal Party investigating 'black ops' branch meeting as flailing faction flexes muscles http://www.smh.com.au/federal-polit...527-gp5ywl.html quote:When Julian Chu arrived at a regular meeting of his Earlwood-Kingsgrove Young Liberals on April 6, he knew it would not be business-as-usual. Chu, the branch president, was about to be subjected to a bizarre attempted leadership coup that represents the thin end of the wedge for the factionally-riven NSW Liberal Party.

Cartoon posted:* I'm a cautious pro-nuclear advocate. Go Lucas Heights! ANSTO 4ever! And if you didn't know, I hold a tertiary qualification in Science specialising in Quantum Physics. The sort of gung ho lets go nuke! advocates that sit on the pro camp sincerely make me want to flip sides. From the article I link previously I'm happy you hold such qualifications, but really don't see how they're that relevant. It's much like a non-cycling doctor who specializes in Head Injuries calling for mandatory bicycle helmets. They only see one very small side of the story but never hold back when their opinion is asked. When it comes to scaling up theory into something that benefits society at large you call in people with Engineering qualifications. If you want to make some ammonia you talk to a Chemist. If you want to profitably and safely make a thousand tonnes, you talk to a Chemical Engineer.

This afternoon I watched the first episode of Cleverman and I have to say I'm quite impressed. What was better than what appears to be a great TV series highlighting the plight of both Indigenous people and asylum seekers and refugees, were the negative reviews. Most of the negative reviews that I read were from the idealogical position that the show is racist, dumb, and continuing the dialogue of Indigenous people crying wolf in regards to feeling oppressed. This mention of racism was either that of mentioning the show being racist to white people, or being racist to white people while secondarily mentioning that to a lesser degree it is racist to Indigenous people also. It may not mean much to many, but I felt almost amused at the fact that by watching this show I learned many new things about Indigenous culture, language and history. Meanwhile people were too concerned about the mention of white people being loving oppressors when they are trying to get their TV-show instant gratification that they feel the need to write a 600-word critique of why this show was racist and wrong and also very very bad. Take from this what you will, I'm between multiple exams and this is my brain speaking, you shall listen.

Cleverman is quite literally one of the most amateur poo poo shows I have ever watched. the acting and dialogue was awful, the story really loving poor (lol "hairymen") and they couldnt have been more obvious with the indigenous theme if they beat you over the head with it. I wanted to give it a shot but holy poo poo when I saw I had 18min left and I felt like they had told all they could with the story I gave up and went back to quality American Television. I dont have a problem with the theme, it was just a really garbage TV show and I cant understand how it got any good critic reviews besides people being afraid that they might be perceived as racist for bagging it.

# ? Jun 7, 2016 13:47 |

Yes, the only people who liked it and the only people to give positive reviews did so out of fear, fear of being considered a racist. That last sentence of yours will do, thank you Laser for your service as always.

The fact it's written by indigenous people to showcase their indigenous stories might be part of the reason there's kind of an indigenous focus.

I also found a lack of mention from Laserfarce about the theme being relative and very much applicable to asylum seekers and refugees. But of course, what the gently caress could possibly consider his thought of such people plight.

You cared enough to comment that most of the positive critiques of Cleverman were made so out of fear of being labelled a racist. I believe as a result of that one could say, your bias is showing. Your bias is ugly.

We've know the Young Liberals were a toxic bunch of kiddies for years, but if this is an accurate picture, it's beginning to scare even the grownups, so imagine how poo poo they'll be as politicians. I hope Cleverman is as divisive as possible. edit: on another subject, can anyone remember the last time a government employed a small-target strategy during an election? I suppose you could call Abbott's strategy small-targetish, but Turnbull's seems something new, he's not debating, seems to be in a race to see who actually launches their platform last (and remember, the taxpayer is paying for everything up to that point!), and beginning to retreat from saying anything that could be a PR gotcha. ewe2 fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jun 7, 2016 |

Looks like the Melbourne ring road is going to be finished. Articles in the newspapers are starting to come out, though I'm not sure it will be announced before or after the next state election. I'm surprised Malcolm hasn't had anything to say about it. The key part is that's it's written under the assumption that it will be a toll road. I think that's why the reports are getting written - to soften everyone up for it. The ring road does need to be finished, but someone, somewhere is paying money to get it done as a toll road.

This is going to be rambly, but I am studying from exams etc. Over the past week or so, the United Patriots Front (UPF) have been experiencing some pretty severe internal discord, otherwise known as "The Splits". Amazingly, the divisive topic in this case is "How amazing is Hitler, right?" and you've got the Brisbane-based UPF associate Scott Moerland being a front for the "Nazis bad" position, with people like Chris Shortis representing the primary "Nazis good" position. This is obviously pretty ironic seeing as you'd expect QLD to have the shittier opinions, but here we are. This current split nicely illustrates the geographic and ideological divide in the nationalist/ultranationalist groups existing in Australia at the moment. The UPF & crew are very much a Victorian group, with their maximum power projection to date occuring last year. Although they have expanded to Perth, they still have issues forming stable platforms in places such as Sydney or Brisbane, and this seems due to the fact that existing nationalist groups aren't neo-nazis/willing to tolerate neo-nazis. A great example is the Brisbane RA rally on the 22/11/15, where a few nazis turned out and actively hurt their cause with less radical supporters. It'll be interesting to see how this impacts the nationalist/ultranationalist movement going forward with Scott Moerland no longer pushing the UPF's case in Brisbane. The UPF Fuhrer, Blair, is an ardent neo-nazi and so is most of the Victorian leadership so really I don't think they'll gain much further traction elsewhere unless we have some kind of terrorist attack or something. The Perth branch of the UPF seems to be okay but we can do a health check when their rally goes off in less than 2 weeks. Additionally, the UPF/TBC are holding another rally in the Melbourne CBD soon™, except this time it's more about flag-pride, or something. They've explicitly said it's not against Islam or immigrants so I can only guess they are trying to drum up more support because they are finding it hard to pull a crowd. Why they'd hold another rally in Melbourne is beyond me, the left-wing activist groups are super active and are now anti-UPF veterans so yeah might be a wet fart, might not be.

Yeah, I can't see many new freeway projects in Melbourne not being tolled. I was surprised when the Brumby Labor Government didn't toll the Peninsula Link.
