Iggy Azalea has once again landed herself in hot water. Whether it's Azelia Banks labelling her "Satan in the form of mayonnaise" – or people claiming she appropriates African American speech – the Australian rapper's relationship with racial politics has been fraught at best. Things have once again come to a head following a recent interview with GQ. During the interview, the singer said discussions about her privilege are a "rough conversation". "I understand that in America there is institutionalised racism and there is privilege that comes with the colour of your skin," she said. "That's real. I grew up in a situation that didn't involve any privilege and I worked really hard. "A lot of my childhood is overlooked. People assume they know my life because Australia is a nice, beautiful country. It's tough because I want you to acknowledge my work and that this wasn't easy, but I also don't want to detract from or trvialise any people of colours' position because that's also legitimate."

Man, don't you get there's no institutionalised racism against African-Americans in Australia! It's completely different!

Speaking of unscrupulous decision making: Perhaps FTTN was not the correct technology for the NBN. The comments are pretty good, much like the RC into the banks a whole lot of people calling for Turnbull & Abbott to be Mussolini'd.

I voted 'no' in the moronic senate survey about Hanson's citizenship proposal because I like screaming into the void. So if it doesn't get up, thank me.

But I'm pretty sure it's just a short-cut of the submissions process. It's still got to get through a vote and hopefully we're not so hosed as to pass something like that. Hahhahah

Start a support ticket, don't 'request a refund' as that is automatic, and use words that vaguely sound related to the consumer guarantee. My friend got Dark Souls 1 refunded with 3 hours played because the port sucked and he's too lazy to install that patch.
