open24hours posted:The Greens seem like they're aiming very low with this 20% soft drink tax. I rarely drink Coke, but a can going from $1 to $1.20 wouldn't stop me. Why not make it 2000%? It's not like there aren't plenty of sugar free drinks available already. Where in blue gently caress are you getting cans of soft drink for $1ea that isnt buying a 30 pack at Woolies on special? EDIT: I agree the tax should be more. Also I have free postmix at work so I will just refill my empties at work.

There was a really funny but last year where dyson heydron and (i think) george brandis were talking about how anti-catholicism is the only acceptable bigotry these days and theres just so much of it around. What loving planet do these idiots live on

The Federal Government removed a respected veterinarian after she presented evidence of cruelty and appalling conditions on board Australian live export ships, according to documents obtained by the ABC. Dr Simpson was removed from her position weeks after the confidential report was inadvertently published Australian Livestock Exporters Council has denied industry bullies veterinarians, says report is outdated Dr Lynn Simpson was one of the country's most experienced and respected live export veterinarians when she was hired by the Department of Agriculture in 2012 in response to the explosive Four Corners report on live export cruelty. As a technical adviser to the Animal Welfare Branch, Dr Simpson was invited to submit a report to a government steering committee which was reviewing Australia's standards for live export. Dr Simpson's report, which she submitted in November 2012, was meant to be confidential. It revealed photographic evidence of animal cruelty she had witnessed working onboard Australia's live export ships. Dr Simpson detailed how cattle were forced to stand on hard floors for weeks on end, resulting in horrific leg injuries which often led to the animal being euthanased. She also raised concerns that sick animals which would clearly be unable to survive the voyage were often loaded onto the ship because of poor inspection processes. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-06-22/live-export-vet-removed-after-revealing-conditions-on-ships/7501428

You'll find out after the election. ---- Doing some research into minor senate parties and arranging my senate preferences before pre-polling. QLD Citizens Electoral Council have a policy titled: "Global warming is a fraud" Sal RIVAS and Val Tanguilig are from "Voices of Multicultural Australia" and are centre left immigrant independents. Sal in particular is worth a vote, for another Ricky Muir-alike average person in the senate. Val doesn't have a lot of information other than being a PhD holding phillipino biologist supporting the environment and empowering people http://www.voma.com.au/candidates/ Rod McGARVIE has left the LNP to join the Family first. This god bothering dick came to my house and told me I was wrong about the NBN and tech industries are not important. Also told me marriage equality is not a real problem. Renewable energy party is heavily green sided and opposes the TPP, wants to increase CSIRO and ARENA (australian renewables agency- a govt dept) funding. actually look at their policy page, its really promising, no policies outside their area but they look to do their research and will probably be great Greens allies. http://www.renewableenergy.org.au/ The Australian Progressives have very favourable policies that align with the majority of the thread here. https://www.australianprogressives.org.au/policy close offshore detention centres, Federal ICC, positive action on climate change etc etc. I'm thinking of preferencing these first. All the christian, bullshit parties dont get preferences. I'll now look into the independents

"Liberal senator Cory Bernardi has launched a blistering attack on Malcolm Turnbull, accusing him of implying that he and other Coalition MPs are homophobic." “The demand for tolerance by leftists is nothing more than a thinly veiled insistence that you surrender your views, your values and your beliefs in favour of theirs.” “If you don’t, the name calling starts. You instantly become a ‘phobe’, a ‘bigot’ or worse. These slurs are designed to shut down any sensible dialogue or meaningful discussion about the subject matter at hand.” I'd be attacking it too for only being an implication.

Two things in the Crikey emails they hopefully throw at me today: I cannot process this reality, he looks like BA Santamaria reborn. Oh and speaking of, What the actual gently caress. quote:With just two weeks to go until the election, fringe groups are now targeting voters at some Victorian pre-poll venues with a dramatic black-and-white flyer saying “Same Sex ‘Marriage’ has consequences for all”. It claims that legalising same-sex marriage and anti-discrimination laws will result in “extreme sex education”, “freedom of speech lost” and “gender ideology imposed”. The flyer claims that “Anyone can be prosecuted if they oppose same sex ‘marriage'”. gently caress these moronic bigoted bastards.

As Jayme Metzgar wrote here at The Federalist last year, the Romeikes immigrated to the United States due to the persecution they faced from the German government for wishing to homeschool their children—an act not merely frowned upon in that country, but one that is for all intents and purposes illegal. The Obama Administration, evincing the warmth, compassion and geniality for which it has become famous, decided to reject the Romeikes’ asylum, leaving them bound to return to Germany. The Romeike children are far behind on their homework, after all. I couldn't find historical sources, this one's from 2014
