in NSW P-platers and L-platers are actually prohibited from using a mobile device even for music control.

I usually listen to my own music in my car but Ive swapped cars with my girlfriend for a week and its either radio or CD-Rs from owners past.

In WA you can get a ticket for having your phone locked on your lap. Doesn't matter what kind of license you have.

I'm pretty sure if it's on the passenger seat and the screen's on that's probably fair game too.

Smart watches are also out. Basically if it's not a part of your car it's illegal to touch while you're driving (which probably translates to "the engine is on"), and if WAPOL continue the way they're going, it'll be illegal to touch your car stereo too.

gently caress, touch screens may already be covered under their incredibly broad remit.

This, right now is the best outcome. Make the Liberals think they're just drumming up the numbers for an RC into the banks, then drop a Federal ICAC instead.

Cut to 18 months later and the Liberal Party is a prison clique.

No IWC was doing media before Latham and is a far better presenter.

Marriage equality will be the “imperishable legacy” of the Turnbull government, George Brandis has said in an emotional speech trumpeting the historic social reform as the “final act of acceptance and embrace” for LGBTI Australians.

I only started listening to Triple J this year since and I can't think of a better alternative (once I've emptied my podcast lineup). No ads, news on the hour and a good mix of imports and local up-and-comers. If it wasn't for them I would have never gotten into grime music. Changing the date took some balls even though the precedent for it being on that day has become mythologised anyway, sort of like Howard's marriage act shenanigans.

For the record I'm skirting dangerously close to 30.

quote:

One Nation senator Brian Burston says he was "deprived" of a say on same-sex marriage because his survey form didn't arrive in the mail.
In his speech to the Senate as part of the same-sex marriage debate on Tuesday morning, Burston revealed that he hadn't voted in the survey — but he would have registered a "no".
"Despite millions of Australian receiving their postal votes in the mail, there were many who did not receive their forms and so were deprived of their right of participating in this survey," Burston said.
"I was one of those deprived Australians, robbed of my opportunity of expressing my democratic right to participate in this survey. I’ll further add that my vote would have been no."
Asked why he didn’t request a survey form from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Burston said “I did”.
I think you'll find it's less of a "democratic right" and more of a "non-binding non-legislative voluntary postal survey" kind of thing buddy

This is actually pretty unfair on IWC. IWC may be a troll, but they're also someone who for 99% of things is pretty left wing and agrees with good policy. Mark Latham is a broke brained idiot who unironically believes the insane damaging poo poo he spouts.

IWC may be a shitposter, but Mark Latham is a poo poo human.

The McElroys are generally pretty okay at ads, but they ruined it for themselves early on with their Extreme Restraints ads showing what it's like when they actually enjoy the sponsorship.
