The amount of pissing and moaning from these people who put zero effort into presenting themselves properly, educating themselves or upskilling is staggering. There’s a real culture of entitlement where ex-servicepeople feel they’re owed a job because they enlisted for a few years and player soldier.

I kinda dodged a bullet in not getting in to the ADF because I'm on sadmeds. I was going for army pilot, though which hopefully might have gotten me to civilian crafts after leaving.

Asthma, chronic sinusitis, and I'm poo poo at math. I'm glad, because I'd probably have ended up flying Seahawks around the top end trying to find all the boats that Scott Morrison stopped.

You Am I posted:https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2018/oct/19/greens-praise-progressive-kerryn-phelps-ahead-of-wentworth-byelection Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the Liberals' candidate Dave Sharma will be as good as the man they dumped as party leader as he makes his final plea to voters before Saturday's Wentworth byelection. Speaking on the eve of the crucial byelection in the blue-ribbon Liberal seat, Mr Morrison also seized on comments made by Mr Sharma's main rival, independent candidate Kerryn Phelps. Mr Morrison said Dr Phelps "could not guarantee not bringing down the government" referring to an interview on Sky on Thursday in which she did not rule out a vote against the government on a motion of no-confidence. "Now that is the definition of instability," Mr Morrison said. Former Greens leader Bob Brown has also made a late intervention in the campaign in a bid to help Dr Phelps win the seat, urging Green voters to ignore his party's direction on preferences. Mr Brown fears Greens preferences could push Labor candidate Tim Murray into second spot which would ensure Mr Sharma wins the seat.

So basically the government accepted the amendments to the legislation proposed by the ALP, and then immediately disregarded them, meaning they are literally breaking the law. Cool.

bobvonunheil posted:Can someone tell me how the gently caress this makes any sense in a country where preferential voting exists? If there's no clear winner by the time only the Libs, Labor and Phelps is left and Phelps gets knocked out. then it's not unreasonable to assume enough preferences will flow to the Libs over Labor giving the Libs a clear win. What Brown is arguing is that if the Greens shore up Phelps in the hope that Labor gets knocked out instead then the bulk of their preferences should flow to Phelps giving her the win and denying the Libs the seat, which from his view is better than nothing.
