The Guardian posted:In 2001, nearly two decades into Pereira’s accidental specialisation in addiction, Portugal became the first country to decriminalise the possession and consumption of all illicit substances. Rather than being arrested, those caught with a personal supply might be given a warning, a small fine, or told to appear before a local commission – a doctor, a lawyer and a social worker – about treatment, harm reduction, and the support services that were available to them.

Can I ask a serious question? Why is calling someone a "clown", or a "disgrace" considered unparlimentary language and gets you kicked out? Are we that prudish? That thin skinned? That petty? What if you go the full ScoMo and call someone a blinking drongo, or a flaming duffer?

If somebody calls SHY a lesbian she's mature and reacts with class whereas if somebody calls Barnaby a Jizz Cock he'll probably have a public meltdown / massive heart attack.

If someone calls Barnaby a cock the reaction would be a new Sky show called Jones & Joyce.

I just don't get it - if Labor did vote against their own bill, they'd look like huge arseholes, lose some support and the Coalition'd be able to go on about Labor chaos for weeks Was there some kind of threat to the Government if the bill didn't pass the Lower House?

bell jar posted:They don't want it to pass, as it was literally just intended to mitigate some of the electoral hemorrhaging in notoriously socially progressive Wentworth/Victoria. Seriously, it won't get passed by this government outside of another by-election in an inner-city area with strong support for LGBTIQA+ rights, and even then they will do their best to posture without actually acting. This is the "virtue signalling" that Miranda Devine and Chris Kenny constantly bray about. Projection is a hell of a thing.

It's just tone policing. Instead of arguing against the person's central point (because you know you'll lose) , you pretend to get all mad that they said a naughty word and change the argument. Meanwhile you constantly say bigoted poo poo and laugh about the thought of people in the Pacific Islands drowning due to climate change.
