I haven't heard people call it that since Howard was in power. Ever since that fuckhead demon got the kick everyone I know refers it by Uluru

I can understand calling it Ayers Rock if you are a foreigner/tourist.

I find it strange because I went through primary and high school when JWH was around and all the teachers were flapping their gums about Uluru being the old fashioned name. Then Rudd got in and everyone used Uluru again. It was weird but I always associated the name as culture wars bullplop

How do you refer someone to the electoral comission for not being validly elected for being a citizen of a foreign nation? Because honestly, why hasn't this been done? EDIT: I get that it's dumb birther bullshit in a way, but it's also strictly against the constitution and if people get centrelink robo-debted to death why the gently caress do politicians not have to obey the loving law? hooman fucked around with this message at 05:42 on Apr 13, 2017 |

IIRC Kenyans who take another citizenship are automatically deemed to have renounced their citizenship by the Kenyan government. e: there is some ambiguity resulting from their most recent (2010) Constitution so a lot of it might depend on timing?

Here's your choice: Bob Day (old white corrupt guy with lovely views) or Lucy Gichuhi (not Bob Day). Clearly by being glad at not Bob Day I'm advocating for Manus and Nauru

Why yes, I was from a third world country. Child labour is fine." "She said her Christian faith was the backbone of her political beliefs." (that one is an actual quote from the article). I don't want her anywhere near a position of breaking a deadlock on a Liberal budget, or anything related to a religious issue. I don't care if she's an African Australian woman. EDIT: Would I like it more if it was Bob Day? No. Give the senate seat to someone else I find less bad. UNDERMINE DEMOCRACY FOR ME NOW.

Family first got votes for a seat, with that being the case it's better for it to come with more diversity than be held by another old white man.

Hanson was just one racist ginger woman a few decades ago and she shifted the Overton Window on acceptable public racism a whole bunch. There are already a crowd of religious bigots though so it's not like she can really push that angle to open that niche.

So, what VPN should we all be getting? Everywhere says "shop around!" and neglects to actually say who works beyond "AUS VPN's are great! (and presumably motioned directly by ASIO?)" or "US VPN XYZ is great, only it slows your connection down to dial up and you have to manually try different servers every day but at least it's secure from ASIO (and not the NSA?)".

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Countless comments complaining it no longer says Easter on their eggs, on a post containing a picture of an Easter egg saying happy Easter on it. Resulting in a post stating that (summarised) "We love Easter (it makes us so much money) we just don't brand all chocolate 'Easter Eggs' or 'Easter Bunnies' during Easter. My loving word, calm the gently caress down guys." As a sidenote, does anyone know what happened to Easter Bilbies? Are they still a thing, or did that get killed?
