Don't be stupid, Johnson. Millennials are too busy eating smashed avo and going to concerts to help with this piece. Just google, 'what Millennials say' and we will pretend. That will work.

Edit: blacks rule

if you actually google "what millennials say" the only autocomplete is "what millennials say about their parents in therapy"

Facebook added up votes and down votes to news stories comments sections once again proving that tech companies are lazy hacks who outsourced comment moderation... To commenters.

This has caused people to down vote comments they disagree with until the comment automatically becomes hidden Lmao.

but downvoting comments you disagree with is against reddiquette. how could this happen

A concrete slab used by local children for handball in a small Brisbane park has been ripped up just months after it was laid, all because some local residents complained about the noise.
The park, located in the Kelvin Grove Urban Village in Brisbane's north, is popular with primary school-aged children who live in nearby high-rise apartments, and the smooth concrete surface has been a welcome addition to their playtime.
But Brisbane City Council (BCC) said the slab was never intended to be used for handball and was to be moved to another park following the complaints.

Guardian Au posted:

The Western Australian police minister has been asked to explain why a police car seemingly drove into a young Aboriginal man walking along the side of the road in the Perth suburb of Thornlie on Sunday afternoon.

Footage recorded by a witness in a nearby car shows the police car veering to the opposite side of the road and striking the man, 19-year-old William Farmer. The footage was released on social media by Farmer�s uncle, Mervyn Eades.

WA police said the man was �being sought for questioning over a caller complaint of suspicious activity in the area�. �The man was arrested a short time later on Wilfred Road after colliding with a police vehicle involved in the search,� they said.

Farmer was taken to Fiona Stanley hospital for treatment.

The Farmer family�s lawyer said Farmer had sustained serious injuries.

�We see no reason why he had to be apprehended in that manner,� he told Guardian Australia. �It looks, from the evidence I�ve seen, like a violent assault.�

The lawyer has written to the WA police minister, Michelle Roberts, who is also the minister for road safety, to ask why the officer in question �has not been suspended from service pending the outcome of an investigation, and when you expect a decision to be made about whether charges will be laid?�

Guardian Australia has contacted WA police for comment.

Why did this man on foot so maliciously collide with our innocent police car!

My mean-spirited side wants to point out Lancelin's MP is from the Nats. They literally voted in someone who is a part of the coalition to do nothing about climate change, why should anyone bail them out when clearly this is what they wanted?

Also in 1964 I bet that block of land was like $12,000.

Assuming it's already gone under, half a century of housing in the one spot for the low low price of whatever pittance it was in the 60s is really not that bad.

(And if they somehow have no other savings it's going to be tough for me to empathise with them)

And it was Tones who said the thing about subsidising a rural lifestyle (I think).
