OF COURSE it's mental illness I mean what else could it be I can't tell whether you're upset that I unfairly characterised mental illness or racism but: what everyone else said. I don't even think that little police office is a proper station, they're probably working it on a rotation from the station down Flinders Lane, and they recognised him. Nobody needs to be there that often to be recognised (unless they work there), much less recognised as a serial racist pest. Even the goths/emos/subculture of choice don't really hang out at Flinders St Station anymore.

Its like the stupid hall of doors gag on scooby doo with an asian and a fat piece of poo poo. IANALALA but as far as I know, if you're on private property someone can't just shoot photos of you especially when you're refusing or not giving explicit permission. Haven't a few people been jailed or at least fined for Creep Shots on public transport, shopping malls etc? If it was on the open street they can take a photo, but you might want to speak to a lawyer and flip it back on them, not have to pay any damages and possibly get some yourself?

I met him the other day, nice dude, would be a really good mp, I think. But he's aware it's Windsors contest to win, his entire speech was "preference me then your preferred independent!"

Seriously, this kind of "X does something I don't like/agree with and gets in trouble over and over again, therefore they are mentally ill/unstable" thing is a good part of the reason there is such a strong stigma against mental illness, and part of the reason it took me ten years to finally get diagnosed with clinical depression and start getting treatment, by which time I was almost suicidal. You cannot label someone as mentally ill or deficient just because you do not understand why they are motivated to do things. Pickled Tink fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Jun 8, 2016 |

I am pissed at Turnbull because David Leyonhjelm is my favorite senator (Mitch Fifield is #2) and the DD means we lose a great man. Thanks to the Senate changes the era of fun microparties is dead. On another note whose the hottest pollie this time round? Is it still the delightful Mrs Waters, or is there a new contender for the title?

Turnbull was on 7.30 and I thought it was a trainwreck. Not for Turnbull though, for Sales. loving 10 minutes spent asking questions about polls. Who gives a poo poo? Ask about climate change, the great barrier reef, loving anything else that a voter might actually want to hear about.

It does seem like it would be a little damaging, plus it sounds like his 7:30 thing didn't go great for him either but I bet no one cares I'm pretty curious about what this facebook debate is going to look like and how it's going to be different than if he just went on qanda next week with Shorten and they did a bunch of video questions

The facebook debate is a terrible idea because the LNP will use its astroturfing army to make facebook robots ask favourable questions.

It was ok, mad as hell is still better. Also the weird background noise to make it seem like a room full of activity (even when they cut away to other footage) was distracting.

Granite Octopus posted:Also the weird background noise to make it seem like a room full of activity (even when they cut away to other footage) was distracting. This too. Also that the Chaser seems to be made up of around 15 people now. Which is hard to keep up with, especially when every second line is said by a different person.

I think a lot of the humour was very obvious, as in I could see the set-up from a mile away. I can't work out if that's because their standards have slipped or I've simply gotten older and I just notice these flaws more. It's the latter isn't it?

I don't know, I think Mad as Hell does a great job with what they've been given, even if it is approached with a more surreal slant than the Chaser. It might be that Social Media has ruined our expectations. Jokes about politics are a dime a dozen on Twitter. Waiting up to a week for one of these shows to air in this current landscape takes away from that experience I think.
