It's great, because America isn't officially in it, American corporations can just use their subsidiaries to sue the ratifying governments!

is ISDS still in there? AKA the thing that allows private companies to sue anyone that hurts their profit bottom line, even if it's legislation that's proven to be in the public interest?

It's pretty close to the US budget deficit so it's probably just a symptom of it being multiple online rants smushed together.

Much smaller in scope. And no Americans can sue the party governments

Unless they ... you know, move headquarters to a signatory country like Phillip Morris did with Hong Kong to sue Labor under our Asian trade deal when plain packaging came out

My parents, who have long lived in soft safe middle class Mornington, are terrified of the vague idea of "crime", and "gangs", and will forever rant about how "they" are always getting away with it, andhow the justice system these days is "soft" on offenders, and that the world has become a terrible dagerous place with old ladies being constantly beaten and raped and murdered and frightened every day, and twice on Sundays etc. They also have opinions about all the new immigrants on free welfare and in housing commission flats.

Bear in mind, this is from people who have never been robbed ever, now live in a nice coastal middle class suburb after moving from Frankston, (where we were never robbed either), generally vote Labor, and are mostly progressive (Although mum has started to post "we say Merry Christmas not Happy Holidays" poo poo more and more frequently on facebook these days. Also, both of them are immigrants, (mum from England, Dad from India. They met and married in Aus.). So this attitude is not confined to the scary heathen lilywhite wilds of Queensland and NSW.

So you can not tell me that "tough on crime, and tougher on the darkies that are the ones committing said crimes" is not a sure fire vote winner/persuader among large, and broad sections of the Australian community. A lot of people do care about this poo poo. Bad stupid people like my parents to be sure, but there are a lot of them about and you do a disservice to ignore them.

A co-worker of mine has started to take krav maga classes because of all the news reports of muggins and african gangs

he is also an immigrant from NZ who complains how hard it is for him to get australian citizenship and how easy all the other non-white immigrants have in getting citizenship.

Some goons overreact. Go figure.
I spoke to someone last week who told me they thought VicPol were too PC to arrest Africans or whatever. I told them if they wanted any proof that they aren't afraid to arrest black people they should look at the indigenous incarceration rates. They also said that they had bought a baseball bat to protect themselves, and that if they saw 15 people walking around with metal bars, they would feel unsafe. I asked where they'd seen that, they said in the newspaper.
