Quantum Mechanic posted:She won the most recent preselection to stand for the Senate again by less than a %, a double-digit number of votes across the entirety of the SA Greens, and I'm only glad of that because I don't want to see Rob Simms get elected on an actually left-wing platform and then lose the seat to Centre Alliance. Yeah I thought this wasn't true and sure enough it's just made up. The actual result of the pre-selection was 53-47. Sure that's a very tight race (which was the best possible outcome imo) but once again it's SHY getting attacked over poo poo that isn't true. She campaigns about the Murray because she's from SA and over here we're getting rorted on it. Your other stuff about swanning around and taking a photo with Trudeau might be true, I dunno. What's the concern about CA taking the senate seat? Do the numbers/polls support that or is it a concern that we might lose enough votes for it to happen?

Given the way the results went in the full Senate election in 2016, I don't see how the Greens can be confident of holding a seat in SA unless losing the Xenophon branding causes a spectacular collapse in support. SHY was elected 11th, and the top 6 went Lib-ALP-NXT-Lib-ALP-NXT.

"I'm only doing this because I really loving hate the environment" is actually a pretty plausible motive for Abbott.

Sure that's a very tight race (which was the best possible outcome imo) but once again it's SHY getting attacked over poo poo that isn't true. I was told otherwise. Might have been from earlier results before postals maybe. It wasn't really an attack per se but more to illustrate that a decent chunk of her state see the same issues. AgentF posted:She campaigns about the Murray because she's from SA and over here we're getting rorted on it. Not saying it isn't important but we're talking about the education portfolio. For the Greens. SHY's set back our relationships with the AEU, particularly TFed, so far that they're leaning back towards Labor again. She lied to party members on multiple occasions about meeting with the AEU, forgetting we have members in the TFed executive. It's not a constituency we can afford to lose or ignore - 10% of our membership are teachers or academics. AgentF posted:What's the concern about CA taking the senate seat? Do the numbers/polls support that or is it a concern that we might lose enough votes for it to happen? My understanding is SA's current polling wouldn't see us retain a Senate seat. She wouldn't have won a half-Senate election in 2016. Maybe after CA's recent performance on the tax cuts it might recover.

LIVE AMMO ROLEPLAY posted:If I was going to mock the bag ban I'd talk up corporations producing waste on an industrial scale compared to individuals, but I think that talking point wouldn't appeal to these people for some strange reason. Because I hate myself, I'm a member of a "zero waste" Facebook community. Think a bunch of middle class suburban mums whining about how everything has plastic in it these days forever and heavily judging peeps for using loving drinking straws with the occasional bit of useful information and productive discussion. People point out that the consumer is the last link in a lovely supply chain that seems to go back forever. They know this. Like if you buy fruit and veg there's a good chance kilometres of plastic were used in the growing process - it keeps weeds out and protects the product from blemishes. However, the fact that people are concerned about it does lead to innovations that reduce the need for the stuff. Like these guys who've developed a process that uses less plastic and saves farmers money. The thing that shits me is people rail on about the stupid plastic while remaining willfully blind to the myriad other lovely things we do. Like how our society sends billions of dollars worth of food into landfill where it turns into methane. It makes no loving sense when you consider the ridiculous amounts of fertiliser and water used to produce the crops in the first place and how bad a problem soil degradation is (at least it is here in WA). Or how bad meat eating is for the environment. Yet I never hear any "hey let's lobby the council to start composting" or "hey let's run a vegetarian cooking class for the community".

Jonah Galtberg posted:i should start myself a jar of dollar coins for every time i try to suggest joining an advocacy group for wider reforms to industrial and commercial practices Every time I tell people to join the greens or give money to the climate council or whatever, I get a lot of "ew politics" or "I don't have the time/money". Yeah you loving do, Mildred, but posting #zerowaste #plasticfree pics on Facebook and Instagram gets you more headpats from your friends and family than actually being seen Having An Opinion and contributing what you can in a way that'll actually enact change or sway public opinion. Of course, I don't say that because airing ones unkind thoughts rarely does one any favours. I understand it seems daunting, but it's not that scary, honest. None of the volunteering tasks are particularly difficult and if it gets too much, financial donors (however small) are always welcome to whichever cause you hitch yourself to. Also this talk of plastic reminded me - I have three compostable spoons and I'm going to feed one to my worm farm to see how long it takes to decompose. Someone remind me to do that tomorrow.

Re: SHY, has everyone forgotten that Australia Day press release recently? Because that's another example of why people dislike her. It was full of outrage and completely wrong on several important details, and I say this as someone who's on-board with changing the date and quietly removing statues, or else putting up more of other under-represented groups (particularly women and Indigenous Australians). Granted, she almost certainly didn't write it herself, but she probably read it before it went out (and if she didn't, that's an issue for a whole other bunch of reasons), and in any case, it went out under her name.

None of the shy posters have said whether they would gently caress her so points are moot. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/jul/05/australia-agrees-to-take-seriously-ill-refugee-girl-from-nauru-as-case-reaches-court "Lawyers sought his transfer to Australia for urgent medical intervention but this was resisted by the Australian government, which asked for the court hearing to be delayed a week, arguing the boy could be adequately cared for on Nauru. Justice Nye Perram disagreed, saying there was a “significant risk the boy would not be alive by that hearing” and ordered the boy be brought immediately to Australia for care, where he remains."

Lid posted:this is autisms fault I asked a forensic psych friend at Monash about this. From memory I think she said there's some findings that showed a 40% correlation between autism and risk of being convicted of a violent crime, but it was other disorders and I think ADHD that were the identified contributors to violence and ASD wasn't important to the study after that. The people with ASD in that sample were less likely to offend. Pretty interesting. It's easy to see why people would link the two especially when parents (who you'd expect to know something about their kid's health) burst into interviews re their child's behaviour carrying on about autism as an excuse because they don't want to feel responsible.

Literally anything which is likely to lead to disinhibition or failure to inhibit impulsive behaviour is likely to cause an increased risk of "offending".
