So Turnbull made a "Captain's Call" eh? Isn't making decisions outside of Cabinets purview part of what brought Abbott down? Hell, in this case Cabinet voted in favour of Rudd as secretary general and then Turnbull canned it anyway.

I love how their house is on Coal Street. Were the houses built after the mining finished? Sounds like poor planning to build streets and houses on top of old mine shafts.

In news that will surprise noone, Australia is still torturing people intentionally. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-03/amnesty-hrw-enter-nauru-undercover-to-document-sustained-abuse/7684342 quote:Australia is explicitly ignoring the inhumane treatment of refugees held on Nauru as a means of deterring others from attempting the journey to Australia, two peak rights groups have found in separate trips to the island nation in a damning new report.

So I still can't find the Bill Shorten "quote" that Buzzfeed were spreading on twitter appear anywhere else. I would have thought that kind of line was worthy of reporting, but it seems not. Have any of you seen it pop up elsewhere?

It was a hot issue yesterday, many posters on here got raging hardons as it was further evidence of how fukt the ALP were. So just checking to see if it was another made up buzzfeed tweet or if someone had actually reported on it. I'm sure how excited posters got about it yesterday they would be following it closely.

Usually that sort of thing would pop up in the Graun's politics live blog, but that appears to be on a break. There's certainly no news stories I can find that backs it up, which is good as Shorten backing NSW Labor's stupid position would be stupid.

If anyone was following the Melbourne Ports battle, pick up a copy of the St Kilda News and check out Michael Danby's two-page post-election opinion piece, which is literally nothing but a huge red-raced rant about the Greens. No "thank you for your confidence in me" to the electorate, no "I will be fighting for the people of Melbourne Ports in Canberra," etc. Just a loving massive dummy spit. What a detestable man.

It reads like a crazy person manifesto, this line in particular stood out to me because "Danby attack ads appeared on Kroger, linking him to the Green Party" Plus he put both MSM families offside via his callouts of The Leader and The Age, which bodes well for his future media support. I also love how he tries to spin his "high profile" by incorporating his low primary vote and manages to contextualise them negatively as "bitter enders" which implies a blind devotion to a failing idol. edit: yeah I read it wrong, he's boasting about how he launched a campaign linking the liberal guy to the greens.

I'm not. I'm Australian and we've already established that means I don't care about people being horribly tortured by default, since its ongoing and nobody in charge wants to stop it. Obviously one person's mild distress means even less.
