Most of those shitstains from the 80s receive a pass for being Aussie larrakin characters despite being a pack of loving crooks.

The Australian of the year was 19 94. Which is after his 'revival'. I find not being able to find any poo poo on him frustrating as hell but it is at least somewhat telling that his wiki page has no specific mention of his professional activities between leaving school and the BOC challenge in 1987. 'Sailed competitively' and 'trained as a builder' are a pretty sparse resume for a young buck in their prime.

Oops, my bad!

Somehow nothing about the way the leak happened is surprising.

Probably didn't even keep a classified material register to realize anything was missing in the first place. Just print that poo poo off the office printer and chuck it in here, she'll be right mate.

An old housemate of mine, who used to be an Amnesty International lawyer and worked on the Woomera detention centre High Court thing, is now EL2 in the Immigration Department. I can't fathom the mental gymnastics invovled in that.

They're the loving worst, they think they're giving out their own money. I wanted to kill the hateful little bastards when I worked with them. Needless to say, they're anti-union as well, "what does the union do for me?"

Don Dongington posted:

The larger issue which most "latte sect" vegans tend to ignore is that most of that poo poo takes a lot longer to prepare than disadvantaged people, who tend to work longer hours, have. The same applies to stay at home parents - caring for children is hard work, and soaking dried legumes while not the most difficult thing in the world is probably not as attractive a proposition vs meat + jar + pasta/rice.

I know these hurdles are not insurmountable, and it is possible to eat cleanly and ethically on a budget; but until governments or other bodies are willing to educate disadvantaged people on this they're going to keep eating cheap processed meat and dairy until the literal cows come home.

Lol

Just as an FYI cutting meat out of my diet was one of the biggest money savers

I don't think news corp would have supported changing the date if she was more polite. They'd have found something to fault in an Invasion Day march regardless. I don't want to blame her because a media empire is intent on making targets out of women of colour who step out of line

No but the goal of any protest is to change peoples' minds over an issue and inflammatory language like that is the last thing the movement needs. They're going up against a political machine, they can't afford to give them easy openings like that. Now the whole movement is being painted as a bunch of anarchists. What made the news? The fact that fuckloads of people are motivated enough by this issue to get out and protest, or some protester said mean things about Australia. The protest should have been be a PR triumph given the turnout, so gently caress her.

It isn't that hard. Dress nicely, don't act like a fuckwit, wave banners that say something uplifting, positive or funny rather than something violent. You want to draw people to the movement, not make them cringe. Most people do this but it only takes one person doing/saying something dumb to draw all the attention away.
