Tokamak posted:Yes, but if they attack the LNP on refugees, they will upset the Howard battlers and swing voters. *beep boop* the best decision is to implicitly endorse it so you'll keep the support from the base and get the xenophobe/bigot vote. Nothing bad will come from this. I feel this is still a free kick for the ALP, because there's a pretty massive delta between "Stop the boats" and "actually torturing refugees"- not just people seeking asylum, but people who have been granted genuine refugee status. It's not a distinction that is so complicated that most 'middle Australians' wouldn't understand it, if it were presented to them correctly. The distinction between stopping "queue jumpers" as the Stop the Boats crowd put it, and knowingly, willingly and overtly punishing people who have been deemed to be genuine refugees is pretty massive. We knew they were doing it, but it was always a case of someone's word VS the governments, and they've always been able to hide behind manufactured opsec bullshit - this is undeniable proof that they've been behaving in an openly malicious manner towards these people. I think suggesting that the bulk of the much desired swing vote (i.e. people who could bring themselves to vote for the LNP, but might not) can't appreciate that distinction is disingenuous and cynical, even for this crowd. (incidentally, is probably going to give Julian Burnside's ICC case a fuckload of ammo, even if it doesn't achieve much other than further our international embarrassment).

You're falling into the trap of thinking people wanted the boats stopped rather than it all being an excuse to bang drums about making GBS threads on brown people. Stopping the boats was never the goal - hurting the 'other' was. --------------------------- Have some loving charts by that chart guy that was a blogger but sold out to the MSM when the MSM outed his secret identity or some bullshit.

You can absolutely win an election without campaigning on cruelty to asylum seekers if you're competent and courageous enough to craft a palatable alternative narrative.

Start a campaign to deport anybody who came to Australia by boat and all of their family members, even if they were born on Australian soil. Watch as the Australian public gleefully votes to evict themselves from their own country.

Well my NBN connection went off without a hitch. 95/35 on sync ratios, but I doubt I'll ever pull much more than 60 down the pipe given the congestion in the area. Now I've just gotta decide if it's worth saving 20-30 a month by switching to an ISP that does a 50/20 plan or not.

Don Dongington posted:Well my NBN connection went off without a hitch. So far my NBN experience has been poo poo. My order was processed 8/5 and my connection actually switched on 15/5 meanwhile there's no sign of the new modem I ordered from the ISP, so I've got no internet and no phone. I didn't get notification that they were switching over until the day after it happened. I called support and was promised the hardware should arrive today but that was utter crap, the guy didn't even look up tracking information, he just pretended to. It wasn't in his script and he wasn't very good at improvising, he had no details. I would have hoped they'd wait for a delivery confirmation before flicking the switch, but nooo. Meanwhile my work (school) PC has died, boss is breathing down my neck about wannacrypt patches, downloading patches from Microsoft is blocked until after 4pm and work internet is slow as poo poo even if my PC wasn't dead, and I could really do with not having to download this poo poo on my phone since I can't do it at home like usual. Doesn't seem like anything upstream was patched, education department policy seems to have been "patch things never". So yeah instead of spending money to give us faster than 1mb internet since it was getting bogged down by automatically downloaded updates, they put a blanket block to Microsoft and Apple servers until after school hours. Also the school isn't eligible for an NBN connection upgrade since we never had an ADSL connection that could be upgraded. It's all been extremely frustrating.

I've been on FTTH for about two years. Between connection (I was the first on my node) until about a month or two after the copper was disconnected, the ISP would have to play catch-up with CVC provisioning. This occurred about four times with slowdowns ahoy until provisioning then back to good. Since a couple months after the copper was cut, it's been pretty peachy even in the dreaded school holiday times. i'm pulling around 9.7 megabytes a second on my 100 megabit plan as I type during this peak period. Due the the fact that you cant over provision CVC back haul for expected demand without going broke, most decent ISPs will lag and catch up until all the nodes are full and subscriber numbers settle down. Hopefully with the new CVC pricing coming in, this will be less hosed and good ISP's can provision a little more to cope with the growth of sign ups and not piss so many people off. Except for those truly wretched ISP's, like Optus. They seem to be just fuckwits.

It's overpriced, I can't top 50mb/sec and they don't offer a 50mbit plan, just the 100/40 for $99. While the prov job went fairly smoothly, apparently that's not the norm. I'm gonna look at aussibroadband and myrepublic and skymesh and a few others now I know I have a good line and I'm on the network.

Watch as the Australian public gleefully votes to evict themselves from their own country. Ooh, do I get to stay because of an early 1900s photograph showing my ancestor making eyes at a stolen girl and everything after that concerning my great-grandparents being suspiciously hushed up, or do I have to do a genetic test? Hmm, in any case, fossil evidence clearly states that the Aboriginal people are also immigrants, they just illegally immigrated 40-50 thousand years ago. We should probably deport them back to Indonesia, where they came from.
