‘What makes it different is when the man has economic powers, as Harvey Weinstein has. But if you spread your legs because he said ”be nice to me and I’ll give you a job in a movie” then I’m afraid that tantamount to consent, and it’s too late now to start whingeing about it.’

Noted quote by a well known feminist.

I wonder if it'll make it to a nice brass plaque in some place.

Perhaps a talking point on some talking heads TV show.

The Brisbane Metro has been listed as one of just six projects listed as a "high priority" in Infrastructure Australia's latest priority list, boosting its chances of receiving significant federal funding.

It was the only Queensland project in the top tier list, with the Beerburrum to Nambour rail upgrade appearing in the "priority projects" list.

Lmao at the LNP continuously trying to block the cross river rail and rail projects in general.

The Vic Gov is establishing a statutory authority to guarantee portable long service leave to people in community services, security, and contract cleaning industries, regardless of tenure at an individual employer.

At the end of your 14 hour work day you retire to your Tiny Home, which is the size of two coffins side by side. You went with the deluxe version.

Your Tiny Home is built into an otherwise featureless grey concrete wall open to the weather, alongside hundreds of others, like a morgue only for the living.

In another 25 years you'll have paid off the mortgage.

Regarding Greer she's a product of a different culture. She's wrong, but it doesn't surprise me she thinks that way. We're all a product of our environment, and in 80 years we'll still be eating meat while our grandchildren will be like "oh my god what is wrong with grandpa why does he eat animals".

Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wish for him back because these idiots aren't one eighth as competent a politician or orator as he was and thus can't prosecute at all their much much worse shittyness.

quote:

Former deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce, who last month lost his cabinet post and the Nationals Party leadership over a relationship with a former staffer, defended his colleague on Tuesday.

"If there's one thing I'd never doubt, it's Peter Dutton's integrity," Mr Joyce told reporters in Canberra.

Why yes, this is the person that Australia trusts to speak about whether conflicts of interest exist.

That's very optimistic. I'm pretty sure in 80 years my grandchildren will still be eating meat.

Hopefully eating meat gets unfashionable sooner than that.
