My Little Tony: Leadership is Magic
Has anyone else been following this shark business in the Whitsundays? What the gently caress is the logic behind killing random (endangered) sharks and checking stomach contents in the vague hope they might have been the guilty sharks despite not biting anything off that I'm aware of to find?

I feel like WA only just got over KILL MORE SHARKS as a solution for people getting bitten only for QLD to pick it right back up again

It's gotta be student politics. It seems to be much more of a thing and much more cancerous in NSW vs other states.

It's not just politicians either, the NSW branch of my union is similarly toxic.
My theory is that it is Sydney. Living in Sydney for any length of time just makes you into a completely insufferable and toxic arsehole.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

quote:

The country's most prominent anti-vaccination activist is claiming to be an expert witness in a family legal brawl over whether their children should be immunised.

Judy Wilyman, a militant vaccination critic, has lodged an expert witness statement in a Federal Circuit Court matter, which claims the federal government is suppressing evidence immunisation is ineffective and harmful.

Dr Wilyman has provided the statement in support of a mother who does not want her children vaccinated. The father, who does want his children immunised, has drafted in the former director of the National Centre for Immunisation Research, Peter McIntyre, to provide the court with his appraisal of Dr Wilyman’s claims.

Fairfax Media has chosen not to disclose the details of the family who are party to the dispute, heard before the Federal Circuit Court in Brisbane earlier this year.

Dr Wilyman, who was controversially awarded a humanities PhD by the University of Wollongoing for a thesis which argued the World Health Organisation colluded with pharmaceutical companies in a conspiracy to spruik unneeded vaccinations, has no academic qualifications in medicine.

The publication of her PhD was criticised by a chorus of medical academics and scientists, including the executive dean of Wollongong University's science, medicine and health faculty Alison Jones

A Gold Coast fitness company has copped an almighty flaming on social media after sharing a video of a customer twerking on top of Uluru while wearing some of its branded gear.
Werkit fitness posted the video, showing a woman “repping” the brand on “one of Australia’s most iconic landmarks”, late this week, but swiftly pulled it down as the backlash began brewing.

Yeah mainly referring to the governments, most citizens seem to realise that catching a couple of sharks and killing them is massively pointless and just satisfies the need to be seen doing something. The West Australian used to really push it from the headlines I saw, did a shark sleep with someone's mum on the editorial team or something??

I guess it's just another issue that politicians love to fixate on despite their constituents having the exact opposite opinion to the one they're pushing. If only they restricted this to sharks and not coal.

How does a country let a government that has performed two coups to lead in leadership approval and PPM? What's the deal? It's not Bill Shorten because he is just as uninspiring as Morrison so I just don't get the polls because the post honeymoon period is moving back towards the LNP.

He has no policies, his energy policy is nothing. His education policy is to load up the Catholics with cash. His other policies are exactly the same as Turnbull and the only difference is that this politician keeps mentioning the Sharks.

And the Peter Dutton saga and Sexism scandal are just ramping up and the leadership ratings keep splitting towards Morrison???

Waiting for the retweet of the News corp leak detailing how they 'tweaked' their polling metrics again to further favour the liberal party.

Seeing as they engineered the coup in the first place - it's called saving face you know.

Edit: also looking forward to the libs pulling ahead in the 2pp, calling an election and losing 24 seats.
