Lol NBN Co shat out a report that claims that bandwidth needs for Australian homes won't surpass 50mbit by 2026.

That's a separate issue altogether, related to the dogshit architecture that resulted from the NBN co's lovely negotiations with the ACCC, and then the atrocious CVC pricing scheme.

The ACCC has so much to answer for the POI debacle.
Rod Sims go gently caress yourself for refusing to take responsibility .

Fun fact: I know Peter Ferris. What was done to him illustrated perfectly how hosed our pollies are, especially the libs.

Also if anyone whinges about the cost of fibre, and points to the roll out cost, remind them that visionstream was forbidden to invoice the government under a certain price (i think it was 4k) even if it only cost them half that. The libs deliberately overpayed our tax dollars and kept the price high to support their fttn rubbish.

I hate when people say "[someone's terrible behaviour] is completely out of character". It's completely stupid.

If they did it, it's obviously within character, unless they've temporarily had a complete nervous breakdown or were doing something in their sleep.

MICHAELIA Cash has been questioned in an estimates hearing about whether she was aware of any further sexual harassment complaints against former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce.

The Jobs and Innovation Minister was asked in Senate Estimates today if she knew of a further six women who had approached a law firm representing West Australian woman Catherine Marriott in her complaint against Mr Joyce with similar concerns.

Labor senator Kimberley Kitching had asked the minister if she or her staff were aware of “discussions” of another six women who had approached Salerno Law with complaints of a similar nature.

News Corp has contacted Salerno Law regarding the claim. The law firm has yet to respond.

Senator Cash said she was not aware of more women approaching the firm with complaints but took the question on notice

Sorry - the cops are using the raid to find crimes they didn't do the raid for? I don't understand

The cops raided her office for evidence of one crime, and while going through said evidence discovered other crimes which they are now investigating.

I think home affairs is good because it'll be easier to cut the budget of that one big agency once everyone in the security state realizes domestic terrorism is over as a priority and we can go back to spending money on sweet sweet great power competition

Man Turnbull fast tracking his properties to NBN as the rest of the country faces further delays is a loving riot.

You couldn't make this up. The foul stench of FYGM liberal politics.

On the surface, the idea that tripping can help cure fascists of their toxic worldviews sounds a little ludicrous, though in reality it's merely an extension of the research highlighted above. In fact, the 2018 study already mentioned is the same that suggested mushrooms might aid the taming or reversal of authoritarian views.

Once again, the increased connectedness to nature brought on by psilocybin seems to directly correlate to the decrease in fascist thinking. The realisation that one is part of nature, as opposed to separate from it, can place dangerous political alignments, which are primarily cerebral and largely removed from nature, under a new light.

Taylor Lyons and Robin L Carhart-Harris, leading experts in their field and conveners of the study, summed up the substance’s potential:

“Our findings tentatively raise the possibility that given in this way, psilocybin may produce sustained changes in outlook and political perspective, here in the direction of increased nature relatedness and decreased authoritarianism."

Yeah this government is in sleepwalk mode and usually it doesn't bounce back especially with the complete lack of policy innovation and willingness to change.

We just need to narrow the scope of the ICAC so it doesn't turn into a witch hunt.

So uh anything that happened between 10:50 and 10:55 on the fifth Tuesday of 2003 then.
