i wonder how successful the predictable liberal right argument will be in the party room - “well malcolm was a lefty leader and didn’t work, so we need a conservative like dutton to win” it’s nonsense, but will it fly? we’ll see

IDK where you’re getting the impression that Julie Bishop would just sit around twiddling her thumbs waiting for her opponents to die off

You'd think they could just go via the council/Aus post address for the property.

It's a weird edge case, if she'd been living with her wife in Oz it would've been recognised by Centrelink anyway, it's just because they were married but her wife lives overseas. There'll be very few more, if any. You'd think someone at Centrelink public relations would've shut it down by nowhahahhahahahahah.

cohsae posted:Scummo is out in the media saying that we should be looking at the GOP tax bill as a sign that we need to lower corporate tax in Australia. Imagine what kind of piece of poo poo you'd have to be to look at what that tax bill is going to do and think yep that's where our country needs to go. lol what a dumbass. He could have said the same tired bullshit about creating jobs but instead he connected it to Trump. Now everyone knows his plan is rubbish. Australians have a habit of noticing the hosed up poo poo in the US but never drawing the obvious parallels to Australia. They'll notice how poorly PoC are treated in America but ignore the same poo poo when it happens to Indigenous Australians. By deliberately making the comparison to the GOP tax plan they lose this favourable disconnect.

Yeah vicpol's tendency to shoot first ask questions later is renowned even outside of Victoria. Didn't they shoot some goth mid-coitus a couple months ago because he might have had a plastic gun on him at some point?

Actually no, it was at some swingers party. IIRC both a guy and his partner were shot by police after apparent complaints made about him wielding a "firearm". It was a costume party, too, I believe he went as the Joker.

VicPol probably has some amazing amounts of "us vs. them" mentality which, paired with the increasing levels of paramilitarisation of the police services (black uniforms hahah) around Aus makes it a toxic combination

Recoome posted:VicPol probably has some amazing amounts of "us vs. them" mentality which, paired with the increasing levels of paramilitarisation of the police services (black uniforms hahah) around Aus makes it a toxic combination The vague impression I get from new coverage and various other stuff is that the foot-level troops are as reactionary and close-ranked and white-supremacist-high-fiving as any other Australian police force, whereas from the top-down level there's an attempt to root that sort of stuff out. Just one example, from the other day: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/cops-investigate-menace-to-society-gang-after-party-house-trashed-police-pelted-20171220-h085uf.html quote:Inspector Allison said the cultural backgrounds of those involved in the violence was irrelevant, after suggestions from residents that youths with African backgrounds were being protected by police. Not something I would imagine hearing in, say, Queensland.
