I believe Rice and her partner are both Victorian natives, so it doesn't help them. Right, that makes sense. The entire system is hosed and confusing which is yet another argument in favour of having a genderless definition of marriage.

This is one of the few areas where I'm glad to have been born in South Australia, who also changed their laws this year so you only actually need a psychologists write off after three sessions to change the gender on your birth cert.

TF2 HAT MINING RIG posted:Why does freedom of speech attract so many nasty people? They don't see it as the freedom to criticise the government/king/dominant religion or whatever without legal repercussions but as the freedom to say horrible things they don't like without legal repercussions. They get rightfully shamed for saying some repugnant poo poo and instead of taking it on board, they lash out against it because their right to say those things is surely more important than the right of others not to be bullied.

Amazon do not have any real estate in Australia, and they haven't announced any dates. They are simply seeding the media with little hints to pump up hype and brand awareness. Jeff Bezos is a piece of poo poo robber baron who should be guillotined, btw.

In addition, the right is practiced in using the phrase disingenuously. The online extreme right are well-used to using idiot or disinterested 'centrists' to defend their 'free speech'. I'm not quite sure why free speech is important but golly it appears the left don't even want a civil debate about The Jewish Question

According to Babette Smith, this charge was used by the anti-transportation movement in the 1850's, and she couldn't find any real basis for that argument. ABC has still left this podcast up, at about 31:08, she talks to Phil Adams about her book Australia's Birthstain. It's a terrific read as is her earlier A Cargo Of Women. I didn't know they had deliberately destroyed convict records, for instance.

Amethyst posted:All of these speculative articles citing "analysts", without anything concrete behind them, amount to little more than PR for Amazon. They bought what I've been told is a former Bunnings distribution center near where I work. Place is huge. The industry I work in has a large number of small, independent retail outlets with a small number of buying groups of varying size and influence; most stores are run by some old coot who doesn't know to use emails and complain bitterly when the invoice falls off their carton and the girl who does the emails isn't in for 3 days so they can't access the electronic copy we sent them which means they can't price their goods because why base your prices on what competitors are doing when you can just slap a 40% markup across the board? Very few have a decent online presence and even less know much about SEO, ecommerce and so on. The rest complain bitterly about customers price matching them against the online stores and do nothing about the situation. There's going to be a pretty big shake-up for us I imagine, and a lot of the smaller guys are going to be turbo hosed.

I didn't know they had deliberately destroyed convict records, for instance. Interesting, Frank Bongiorno talked about it a lot in Sex Lives of Australians. I don't know if he was putting too much emphasis on how easy it was to hide, or what. He said they were often charged with indecent exposure, because proving unnatural crimes was too difficult. He also suggests that the stereotype that Chinese diggers were sodomites was a self-conscious reaction to convict's and settler's pasts. And Sex Lives was published after that podcast, so I'd imagine he'd have to have read her work. WhiskeyWhiskers fucked around with this message at 09:55 on Sep 8, 2017 |

If you want to make the next few weeks slightly less dogshit for LGBTQI people, cool and good website Croakey is currently double-matching donations to the organisations they've listed here, meaning that a $10 donation to one of these groups will becomes a $30 donation. quote:With the High Court of Australia clearing the way for the Marriage Equality Postal Survey to go ahead, we can expect divisive campaigning from the ‘No’ side to ratchet up in the coming weeks, with LGBTQI+ youth & families firmly in their sights.

Watch as Australian manufacturing becomes completely extinct, due to rent seeking pig fuckers refusing to innovate. Any one of these stores could have gotten their own online presence up to a competitive level by now. Kogan have done pretty well out of it.
