He thinks they’re really Good Mates and everything he did and said was just business and nothing personal and nobody should be upset by it because it was just a day at the office and if you can’t handle it maybe politics isn’t for you. This is how Tories sleep.

For the Greens in a safe Lib seat where we poll ~15% I've seen figures between 50-100k thrown about for total campaign expenses, most of which we get back from the AEC. I'd assume the figures are much higher for actually winnable seats, since IIRC the main point of having candidates in every seat is more to just boost the senate vote and raise awareness.

"workers strike for pay rise". Not "workers strike for fair pay" or more accurately "workers protest exploitation peacefully instead of eating the rich despite no reason not to". Also gave another loving front page + follow up to whatever batshit insane plan Guy had this week. Yeah sure we'll import migrants & REAL refugees to the sticks. Ok. Who is gonna police that? Do you want Vline ticket inspectors to check passports at Ballarat? Set up checkpoints on the ring roads?

AFR EDITORIAL posted:In 2014 Labor's Daniel Andrews was elected Premier of all Victorians. On Tuesday, weeks out from the next election, he was chief cheerleader for a union movement that shut down the centre of his state's capital and its commercial ports. Polls suggest Mr Andrews will be returned to office, but for reasons little to do with him or his government. The national post-resource boom economy has directed higher population growth into the big eastern states. A lower dollar has boosted Victoria's manufacturing belt and helped reduce its jobless rate to 4.5 per cent, even while the state government has accelerated the loss of cheap baseload power. At least his government is funding an infrastructure boom through a privatisation program that the comrades would also ordinarily protest against.

It’s also real good because methane from organics in landfill is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, where as if it’s properly composted it only emits CO2 instead

EVIDENCE is growing the controversial decision to consider moving Australia’s Israeli embassy to Jerusalem was a rushed captain’s call by Scott Morrison. The Prime Minister sprang it on some of his most senior colleagues and officials with little warning. Our military leaders first knew of it from news reports. Selected journalists had been briefed on the matter the day before the announcement but Defence Force chief General Angus Campbell had been kept in the dark.

For a while it was looking like she might stick around, but I assume that might have had more to do with the dead cat bounce/potential media backing for a coup. I think we're a few weeks away from the media suddenly becoming very interested in Bill Shorten, and what the sensible centrist labor leader has to offer,

Also splits A stoush is brewing in the Coalition over plans to strip religious schools of the right to discriminate against LGBTI students, with conservative MPs angry about being kept in the dark on the changes. Prime Minister Scott Morrison is considering a special party room meeting on the issue today after he promised urgent action, following a backlash to leaked recommendations of Philip Ruddock's religious freedom review. The bill was slated for debate this parliamentary sitting fortnight, but as of Thursday morning, Attorney-General Christian Porter was still negotiating details with the Labor opposition. That has angered conservative Liberal MPs, who argue they should have been consulted first and fear they will be expected to rubber-stamp legislation agreed with Labor - without knowing the full contents of Mr Ruddock's review. Liberal senator Concetta Fierravanti-Wells, who has discussed her concerns with colleagues, said the report should be made public immediately. https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/coalition-mps-angry-about-being-kept-in-the-dark-on-gay-students-law-20181025-p50bsc.html

The article is basically saying they are using circularly polarised light in addition to vertical and horizontal polarisation. Instead they frame it as spin angular momentum that nobody is going to understand and don't even mention polarisation. It took me a minute with my half forgotten knowledge to understand what they were saying.
