https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-10-31/resignations-at-national-party-after-alt-right-push-exposed/10453116

quote:

At least 15 members of the NSW Young Nationals have resigned following an investigation by the ABC's Background Briefing program into an alt-right push inside the party.
They include at least four young men identified in the investigation as being involved in a plot by Australia's alt-right movement to join and influence major political parties.
The group resignations were sent in a letter to the NSW executive of the National Party this afternoon.
The letter, titled "resignation in protest", listed the names of the 15 Young Nationals and announced, "There will be a few more to follow".
The resignations come just days before the National Party's executive was due to hand down the findings of an internal investigation into the allegations of the alt-right's push into the party.

I wonder what their second option is - they've got a lot of choice

welcome 2 australia

mental health is really cool because the primary gatekeepers of mental health if you are poor are GPs who don't give a poo poo, cops who really don't give a poo poo, and hospitals who don't give a poo poo unless you are actively trying to kill yourself

basically if you are poor, don't have mental health problems.

I just spent 3 months in a mental health hospital and now I see a counselor and psychiatrist for free, so everything�s working out for me even though i�m broke.

fiery_valkyrie: Mar 26, 2003; I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

quote:

A Labor government would bring in new federal environment laws and strong independent agencies including a national environment protection authority (EPA) to enforce them, under a draft policy platform signed off by the ALP national executive.

Developed by a 60-member policy forum chaired by the opposition leader, Bill Shorten, and the outgoing party president, Mark Butler, the platform is the basis for debate at Labor�s national conference in Adelaide next month.

The central environmental proposals include a new environment act, a science-based EPA to oversee development decisions and a national environment commission to develop legally binding plans and standards for protection.

The platform document says the new laws and institutions would allow a comprehensive approach to biodiversity and conservation, replacing a regime that fails to protect the health of the environment.

�It will reflect Australians� expectations that environmental protection is essential and ensure an effective and efficient national approach to the management of matters of national environmental significance,� it says.

While not everything in the platform is guaranteed to become legislation, the draft document is a significant win for the Labor environment action network (Lean), an internal advocacy group that has run a 15-month campaign for reforms to protect nature.

As revealed by Guardian Australia as part of the Our Wide Brown Land series, ALP branches from every state and territory backed a Lean motion calling for strong national environment laws and an independent agency akin to a �Reserve Bank for environmental management�. By January, 250 party branches had passed the motion. Lean says it has since increased to 456.

It's not like the federal ALP weren't doing good environmental things under Gillard.

It's their refugee policy and dedication to neoliberalism that really stinks.
