As if he or they ever actually cared. When he was made technology editor for Breitbart, he did an AMA on gamergate subreddit r/kotakuinaction. The top reply asked a few easy consumer electronics-related questions. His answer was simply "I can see I still have much to learn".

Good luck with that Neil Australia's most notorious Islamic State fighter, Neil Prakash, has told a Turkish court he has no connection to Islamic State in Australia. In a brief hearing on Tuesday to establish Prakash's identity in relation to an extradition request by Australia, the presiding judge said Australian documents regarding his identity and charges had arrived and were before the court. He asked Prakash about the Australian authorities' accusation of his involvement with the Islamic State terrorist group. "You are accused of being the leader of DEAS [the acronym for Islamic State in Turkey] in Australia. Do you have anything to say about this?" Appearing via video link from prison, Prakash, also known as Abu Khaled al-Cambodi, said "I am not guilty of DEAS in Australia. I have nothing to do with the leadership in Australia." He appeared concerned or confused. Prakash has been kept in a high-security prison in the city of Gaziantep, near the Syrian border, for about a year. He was captured by Turkish authorities while trying to enter Turkey illegally in November 2016. He initially lied about his identity, leading to confusion about his conditions and connection with Islamic State in Syria. The case before the Kilis court is aimed at confirming his real identity and determining whether he has any connection to any terror activities against Turkey. Documents confirming his identity and nationality were requested by Turkish authorities. Documents received confirmed his identity as Neil Christopher Prakash and nationality as Australian. They have now been added to his file. So far no evidence or note detailing Prakash's involvement in any crimes or terrorist activities in Turkey has been revealed in the case files. The prosecution demanded leave to refer the case to the Chief Public Prosecutor's office and request a determination on his extradition, as required by Turkish legal procedures. His defence lawyer, Alper Unver, assigned to the case under Turkish law, told the court that there was no physical evidence against Prakash in the indictment, and demanded his release under judicial control. The panel of judges unanimously ruled for Prakash to be remanded in prison, granting the prosecution the time for consultation on his extradition. The next hearing was set for February 23. The court must reach a verdict and conclude Prakash's trial in Turkey at this next hearing, Unver told Fairfax Media. "There are no solid accusations against him in the lawsuit files. This trial is to decide whether Turkey would extradite Prakash to Australia or not." When asked about a likely outcome, Unver said that according to Turkish law, Turkey had the right to keep Prakash in the country and/or release him under certain judicial controls. Depending on the conditions of the country demanding extradition, Turkey may also decide to deport prisoners to a country other than their country of nationality. In a previous interview with Fairfax Media, Unver said his client strongly refused to be extradited; but if given no choice, he demanded to be extradited to a Muslim country, not to Australia.

My dad votes Labor, my mum can't vote because she isn't an Australian citizen (she is planning on running for the senate as a Greens though), one set of grandparents voted Labor until they retired and now vote LNP because literally gently caress you got mine, I have no idea what the other set vote for. My sister and her partner vote Labor/Greens. My partner can't vote as she isn't Australian and is also standing for the Greens. I vote Wikileaks/Bullet Train for Australia.

The Turkish government is pro-ISIS, and acted as the middleman in the oil smuggling operations which gained them the hard cash to buy weaponry, once the clamps went down on a lot of their Saudi funding. The Turks will only accuse him of terrorism against Turkey if he's a Kurd.

A person I know was telling me that the Federal Government refuses to add pilot training to HECS or any FEE-HELP scheme meaning that students have to pay 150k on their own to get the licenses required. So rather than helping students afford pilot training the Australian students go overseas and do it there cheaper and never come back while the government can claim a skills shortage and bring wages down in another high paying industry.

Yeah my dad is reasonably well off because he was sorta smart with his super (although did get hosed over by some investment scam that didnt pay taxes to the tune of 50k) but yeah he just doesnt think politicians are honest or real and trump and hanson talking poo poo like they do at least makes them look honest and free-thinking rather than the carefully baked sound bites and speeches from the other guys designed to 'trick' you. he'd never vote greens but he did vote labor once upon a time. hes in a fairly safe liberal seat anyway so i doubt him voting for PHON is a big deal.

I’ve had several coworkers become pilots and they all said it was insanely expensive - they have to buy their own fuel and everything as well as pay for lessons. They also said it was almost impossible to actually get a job as a pilot in Australia, so the last thing we need is to import them.

There have been several near misses involving large passenger aircraft over the last few years that are attributable in part to reduced manpower, reduced training, and incentives to cut corners. gently caress knows why anyone sane would want to increase the risk any more, we're pretty much running on luck now.

John Heffernan asks if prisoners deserve same sex marriage? John Heffernan, The Daily Telegraph quote:RECENTLY a male inmate in a correctional centre applied to get married. There’s nothing unusual in that; Corrective Services NSW policy actually permits prisoners to get married while incarcerated. yeah here we go quote:Up until now prison marriage ceremonies were conducted in the correctional centre where the inmate was held. So the deal here is, regularly men and womens are housed separately, so a heterosexual married couple wouldn't ever be living together in prison? The above is one example, based on this recent report of a man wishing to marry his cellmate. Not all same-sex marriages in prison will be a case of a person wanting to marry their cellmate, but the author has only said that same-sex marriages should be banned. Not all marriages, and not specifically marriage to a cellmate. "... a gay or lesbian prisoner should be automatically deprived of the right to take their vows". quote:You’re probably wondering what happened to the original application mentioned at the beginning of this article. The guards aren't acting very professionally if we have to modify prisons to suit their feelings. Maybe snowflakes shouldn't be cops? Assuming inmates should be separated if they're married or in a sexual relationship, it seems more obvious just to separate a married couple in prison? The author thinks that prisons'd then be accused of discrimination, which I guess is a sideways manner of accusing the all-powerful gay lobby of preventing justice from being carried out. Except it's like a pre-accusation because it hasn't happened yet? The issue isn't nearly as extreme as needing to ban all same-sex marriage in prison

I had an intense discussion with my dad who admitted the two party system is dumb and he would certainly try to vote greens or independent but when it came down to a two party preferred he would have to go with LNP because at his first professional job he got harassed by a union rep demanding fees from him when he wasn't part of the union and Shorten is a union mouthpiece.
