Shorten was never a member of the CFMEU/CFMMEU. I wonder if the News Corpse media would be saying the same thing if Shorten was a member of the SDA.

Lid posted:Mouhammad and Pamela Tabbaa are facing a million-dollar legal bill after they lost a major defamation action against the Nine Network over a 60 Minutes program which accused the couple of allowing the kidnapping of their 13-year old daughter Nadia, holding her against her will in Syria where she was forced to marry a cousin 15 years her senior. I don't know the story behind this - my gut instinct is to not trust 60 Minutes but if the judge has their head screwed on right this sounds like a good thing that frivolous defamation claims are being shot down?

Opinion: Facts of the Nauru asylum-seeker debate ABOUT 50 asylum-seekers on Nauru have turned down resettlement in the United States. Why on earth would they do that? The answer is simple. They want to come to Australia and are encouraged by doctors, advocates and others to turn down anything except Australia. This is not a column about emotion, but one of fact. This is not about having a heart or being heartless, but one that dispels myths. Australians are compassionate, and there is growing community and political momentum to get children off Nauru. But before a blowtorch is applied to the politics, here are the facts. ● Asylum-seekers on Nauru – and most of them have been found to be refugees – are not detained. They are considered Nauruan residents and can come and go as they please. They are not locked up after dark. ● Asylum-seeker residents on Nauru have a 20-year visa. ● The Coalition Government has spent a lot of money – tens of millions of dollars – to provide quality medical services. They do this because they do not want the asylum-seekers to come to Australia, because once they come here, they launch legal proceedings to stay . ● There are about 650 asylum-seekers on Nauru and 65 health workers – a ratio of about one to 10. In some parts of Queensland, including towns with thousands of people, residents have to travel for hours to see a doctor. The access to medical treatment is better on Nauru than in some parts of Australia. ● There are two mental health team leaders, 15 mental health nurses, three psychologists, two psychiatrists, three counsellors, one mental health manager, and two torture and trauma counsellors. There is one clinical child psychologist, one clinical team leader, one developmental occupational therapist, and one social worker. ● Intelligence agencies warn that if asylum-seekers get to Australia, people-smugglers will be encouraged to send more human cargo back into dangerous seas. ● There are about 50 children on Nauru. Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton wants them all removed from the island, and over the years has reduced their numbers. But, perversely, his success can undo the success of stopping the boats. This is recent evidence to a Senate Estimates hearing from Home Affairs Secretary Michael Pezzullo. Pezzullo is not some Coalition stooge. He worked for former Labor foreign minister Gareth Evans. He was also deputy chief of staff to then Labor opposition leader Kim Beazley. He has worked as a public servant for Labor and Coalition governments, and he takes seriously the impartiality that is demanded of his high post. He does not play favourites but ensures he knows his brief. It is uncomfortable for people to accept this – and some will refuse to accept it is happening – but here is Pezzullo’s recent evidence, noting it is an offence to mislead. Asked about people on Nauru self-harming, he cited “people ingesting detergent, for instance, in order to cause a sufficient degree of internal symptoms”. “There has also been the swallowing of taped blades and the like. We invest a lot of resources into ensuring we keep them as well as we can. “Upon transference to Australia – and there’s something in the order of over 600 people here on temporary transfers – the law states quite clearly that when their period of treatment is concluded, they’re expected to return. “So we try to make that clear to people. We don’t want to create a situation where people think medical transference to Australia is a pathway to residency, because that could incentivise these kinds of perverse behaviours.” That means the Government does not want people purposely hurting themselves so they can come to Australia and then launch legal action to stay here. So what about New Zealand? Privately, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has told the Australian Government she does not want to take single men. But there may be a bigger issue at play. Pezzullo has warned that sending asylum-seekers to New Zealand without amending the law to prevent them from coming to Australia is a “live risk”. Speak to any Defence Force member about what their lives were like before Operation Sovereign Borders and you’ll understand why so many grapple with life and the costs of their work. They speak of the horrors of pulling dead kids from the ocean, and parts of their bodies too, including the arms and legs of babies and toddlers. This is an emotional debate, but one side has been forgotten, and it is because of the success of Operation Sovereign Borders.

Queensland was once considered the "meth lab capital" of Australia, but in the last five years the number of home drug kitchens found by police has dropped by more than 50 per cent.

My Uncle is a renowned harness racing jockey/trainer and my cousin is an up and comer, from what I can tell harness racing is a lot less stress on the horses but I still don't like the whips and the gambling aspect

Offsiders on Sunday was funny cos they had some journo who's not usually on there, and he was just not into the Melbourne Cup or horse racing in general at all. They still bullshitted on about it for ages Also I like Gerard Whateley, but he wanted to gently caress Black Caviar so bad.

I don't mind the way MMG used italics but I hate when they're used as a twist following a description. Like "Red Dead Redemption 2 starts predictably with blah blah blah in the American West blah blah blah. And then the world opens up."
