https://twitter.com/oz_f/status/854854496844824577 So the domestic violence poo poo they were talking about is already in the current pledge. Who could have guessed that this was all dog whistling furphy to appease PHON types and not a genuine shot at improving Australia? No one, that is who.

Why is 'under god' even in there. Freedom of religion is literally our only constitutionally defined right.

I was born here, I never had to pledge poo poo or jack. Probably explains why so many Australia first types seem so uncommitted to rights and democracy.

Q: Do you agree to not engage in domestic violence? TONY ABBOTT: If we’re honest, most of us would accept that a bad boss is a little bit like a bad father or a bad husband. Not withstanding all his or her faults, you find that he tends to do more good than harm.

hooman posted:(I know there's actually like 4 more verses but they got culled) What could possibly be offputting about the fourth verse? Should foreign foe e'er sight our coast, Or dare a foot to land, We'll rouse to arms like sires of yore, To guard our native strand; Britannia then shall surely know, Though oceans roll between, Her sons in fair Australia's land Still keep their courage green. In joyful strains then let us sing Advance Australia fair.

Those poor underappreciated boomers, so hard working and still so virile even in their old age, unlike those lazy, shifty, me first, millenials. https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2017/apr/20/age-discrimination-older-australian-workers-viewed-as-slow-to-learn Won't somebody think of the boomers!

hooman posted:Nah we just sang the national anthem... both verses of course. We did this as well, but around when I was in year three, our school got a new backing CD, so instead of a full orchestral backing to sing to, we then sang to the new didgeridoo CD. I feel like actually Indigenous people would probably have a thing or two to say about that, but it's not like there are that many of them in WA who we haven't locked up.

You don't have to hate all old people I don't hate all old people. It's just staggering to see this article come out totally uncritically in a country whose national passtime seems to be transferring wealth and opportunity from the young to the old and then blaming the victims for the outcomes. I guess I'm just a special snowflake who never tries and expects the world to fall into his lap.

I became a citizen about 4 years ago, and the Under God bit was there, as was the choice not to say it (I didn't say it).

You mean the "Australia is for white people" verses? quote:From England soil and Fatherland, In this case, Advance Australia Fair, "fair" means white.

The whole generation thing is just a distraction to get people to fight against each other instead of capital (just replace the nationalities with generations in the the Mr Block cartoon). It's about rich and poor not old and young.

You're right it's transferring opportunity and money from the poor to the rich it's just that the rich at the moment are disproportionately older Australians.

No wait who am I kidding? Future Australians will have their BBQs at one of the communal parks with BBQ facilities as it's the only place they can cook a hot meal outside of their homeless encampment between working 4 simultaneous pay-back wage theft jobs for exploitative business owners.

I heard on the radio news that Mikala Cash(?) said that the Bush dosn't *need* internet connections and can get fine with what small business needs and they don't need city speed connections and it's fine that YOU PEOPLE don't have super fast NBN like those people in million dollar houses in Sydney, Hey Green members? Get a TV ad up done with a clip of her saying it. Screen it in regions and have a local greens member, representative or someone else local to stand in front of it and say "We the Greens Support the people in the bush. The Liberal National Party does not. Here's an example. (Play the clip). The Greens don't believe that rubbish. We believe everyone should have fast internet to do their jobs, do their schooling and do their future (cut with shots of people in industry (solar if you insist!), farming, school kids). The LNP thinks you don't deserve a future for you or your family. Remember this at election time, we won't forget you, unlike the LNP who do". Spend the money now, don't wait.

That guy is the current minister for small business.
