Can't wait for the Hun / ACA investigations of Promaja Gang, a loosely organised group of vaguely-slavic looking youth who strike terror into Anglo hearts by opening their windows.

It's an accidental situation caused by a loving stupid bit of the constitution and it's affecting cunts like Abetz. It is hardly chilling. Edit: also half of them are bloody British

Futuresight posted:And excluding people of Hungarian descent forever because there's no limit on how far back your ancestor can be before you can no longer use them to get citizenship. Not that this actually matters or anything but- That's not the impression I got when I looked in to this. It was something like you had to be the child or grandchild of someone who was a citizen between certain dates and be able to demonstrate your Hungarianess by taking a few tests in Magyarul. There were a number of other specific limitations too. The idea being to bring back previously displaced people of Hungarian descent in to the country but not necessarily give it out to everybody. Admittedly it's been a while since I read up about it though so I could be wrong. MonoAus fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Jul 28, 2017 |

I can understand it, stupid consitution or not it's still the whole country trying to figure out who's a dirty bloody foreigner and who's a ~*~ true blue Aussie bloke/Sheila~*~ Anyway I'm pretty sure Poland also goes by jus sanguinis so that dude with the Polish dad might be hosed if he didn't revoke.

This is so loving ridiculous. If pollies from the major parties end up wriggling out of this somehow, Waters and Ludlam should be reinstated.MonoAus posted:Not that this actually matters or anything but- Citizenship laws are always hazy, it's worth chasing them up. It took me like two years to gradually gather all the documentation I needed to get Irish citizenship, with conflicting information from different consulates, but now I've got an EU passport for life... although frankly having now lived in Europe I'd take the Australian citizenship any day if I had to pick.

Futuresight posted:Why is this? If you don't mind of course. Well, OK, I actually only lived in London (this was 2014/15 btw), where I felt like my face was being shoved into the grindstone of capitalism every single day. I felt like I was barely staying afloat and every other millenial I talked to talked about when they were leaving London, not if they were leaving London. Things are certainly better in the rest of the UK, or in Germany, or Sweden, or almost anywhere else in Western Europe. But - and this is just a layman's observations, not anything scientific - I felt like Australia is a country with a future whereas the UK is in decline. And a lot of little things I learned about made me much prouder of Australia. Oldest labour movement, we invented the the minimum wage and the living wage, and we are the only place in the English-speaking world with penalty rates (I'm not sure about Germany, Sweden etc.) It was very telling when I told people in London where I was from and literally more than half of them responded, in surprise, "Why did you move here?" A lot of Australians (like me, in the past) still have this idea that the UK is where you go because it's the centre of civilisation. In the meantime all the young English people have come to see Australia as the land of milk and honey. Australia has this idea of itself as being really egalitarian, which it clearly isn't, but it really is compared to other countries. I'd been working for the BBC for years already in Australia but it took moving there to really, actually realise how much class consciousness infects every little bit of life (much like how despite being raised on American TV, I didn't understand how much racism against black people animates every facet of American life until I went there.) Australia is far from perfect but it's one of the best societies the human race has come up with - economically speaking, anyway... I dunno about the racism. The UK is also very racist but in a different and probably less bad way? Economic stuff aside, I appreciate the open space of Australia. I grew up in WA going camping and doing outdoorsy stuff all the time. In London the best I could do was getting a $50 train ride to a forest for a daytrip and wandering around bumping into heaps of other walkers and ramblers. Living in the East End, taking the tube every day, I seriously felt like I was suffocating sometimes, it was a bad time in my life. Now I live in Melbourne and never really leave the city either, but I know that open space is there if I need it, and living in a city of 5 million is way more breathable than a city of 20 million. I know that sounds loving stupid but it really did affect me in London - that mental knowledge that even if I got out of the city I was still in a country as densely populated as Bangladesh, I was never really going to be out of sight of another human being. It was stifling, it was claustrophobic. Anyway that's my pinch-of-salt analysis from a year of living in London (which I know can't be equated to Europe as a whole; but I do feel confident in saying that, for example, the UK is a more dysfunctional country than Australia). I am still super grateful for my European citizenship and I know the standard Auspol thread consensus is that Australia is a cesspit of racist neoliberalism, but these days - as much as I will never hesitate to criticise this country for its myriad failings - I am very, very glad I was born here. If I could magically pick a country for my child to be raised in the coming 21st century of global warming and the decline of civilisation, I don't think I'd choose anywhere other than Canada, Australia, New Zealand or Scandinavia. And if I had to choose between my Australian passport and my European passport I'd throw the European passport in the furnace without a second thought.

Nice meltdown Nah nice post. The grindstone of capitalism resonated with me as some of my most money hungry mates came home from their London finance journey wanting nothing more than a decent living and to watch football. The reality of being at the absolute peak of wealth (without doing some kind of work) is that 99/100 times you are a lunatic. JBP fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Jul 28, 2017 |

JBP posted:Nice meltdown Haha, that sounds like your mates were working in the City? I meant the grindstone of capitalism in the sense that I first knew what it meant to be poor (I thought I had in Australia, but I hadn't really). It was particularly telling for me because I was doing the exact same job for the exact same company but I was earning so much less and everything cost so much more, and I was living paycheque to paycheque and having serious financial stress for the first time in my life. And that was as someone with a middle class office job, so gently caress knows what it's like for the poor sods working in pubs or whatever. I used to see the African cleaners going to work on the 5am bus and think, what the gently caress are you doing here?! You can be a cleaner literally anywhere, get out of this awful gouging city! That's what made me appreciate Australia's workers' rights and penalty rates. And that's what makes my heart swell with pride when I see the majority of Australians, even Lib voters, say they think penalty rates are good and proper. My serious advice to any young Aussies who want to go live in the UK is to not live in London. I have friends who lived in Glasgow, Manchester, and Bristol and they all had a much better time than me. I wanted to go to London because I grew up in the suburbs of Perth and still had this subconscious idea that I wanted to go live in a "real city" - but of course the dream of living in London/New York/Paris is always better than the crushing miserable capitalist reality.

The Living Soul One Nation's Malcolm Roberts will almost certainly be referred to the High Court in a challenge to his eligibility that could pave the way for Pauline Hanson's sister to replace him in the Senate. The Turnbull government is considering asking the High Court to examine unanswered questions around Senator Roberts' UK citizenship, unless he provides further evidence he properly renounced before nominating as a candidate last June. Labor, the Greens and Nick Xenophon Team have all indicated they will support such a motion in the Senate.
