The liberals are dead set on testing the floor for the 2PP poll result aren't they.

Husar says Workman and Buzzfeed emailed her with questions after they had published the story about her, and says they didn't give her enough time to get permission to talk about confidential stuff. She's suing for defamation

bell jar posted:I'm part of a team implementing Afterpay/Zippay etc into a large retailer here. From what I understand, they get a margin of 5%-6% of each sale from the retailer, plus a monthly fee for the consumer if they have outstanding debt. No interest applied for a minimum term and then a HUGE amount of interest (somewhere like 20%) applied if you don't pay it all back in time. Zippay and Afterpay are a bit different (IMO Afterpay is a bit less lovely but ymmv). I use Afterpay for big purchases that I'd rather spread throughout a few pays rather than all in one go, but I budget carefully and make sure I never end up buying too much.I can see how payment models like these would be predatory and bad for those with low financial literacy.

Yeah I generally enjoy Workman's... Work... but this one felt way too tabloid, and not at all definitive. It felt like they were cashing in on the recent barnaby hype train by grasping at a pretty thin straw and yelling "HEY LOOK AT THIS ONE TOO"

This is why Leyonhjelm is a dumb rear end in a top hat for reiterating his comments about SHY and Kennett is a dead eyed motherfucker for the time he called someone a paedophile and later when asked about it smirked and said "you don't think I'm silly enough to repeat what was said under privilege?"

Zenithe posted:I missed something. They're separate. The border protection one was first in line in the senate, and since they wasted time on that, the data encryption one won't be passed back to the house either Though as soon as the house adjourned, Labor voted with the Government to suspend debate on the border protection one

Maybe Bill's argument is by passing the dumb encryption legislation they can also pass the medical attention to Nauru? Either way it's over now. If only they could extend their sitting hours...

Does the encryption bill have any public support? Every mention of it I can find in the media is either unambiguously negative or at the very least mentions it being highly controversial. Why are labor so set on giving dutton everything he asks for? The my health record poo poo proves that people do actually care about privacy. Read the loving room Bill. They need to get rid of the home affairs portfolio. It is ridiculous that we have this constant churn of new national security laws being introduced without any successful organized terror plot to justify why more is necessary. There isn't any popular demand for any of this stuff. It seems more like the lnp are proposing increasingly ridiculous or open to abuse laws to try and goad labor into rejecting one so that they can claim they are soft on terrorists.

Starshark posted:Some on twitter think Bill's trying to goad them into running away to make them look weak. Which sounds a little optimistic. That's pretty much exactly what he's doing. The ALP have the govt absolutely cornered. This isn't some 6th dimensional chess poo poo, it's fish in a barrel. People's opinions of Shorten are rightfully pretty low, but calling the blindingly obvious play optimistic taking it a bit far I think Edit: As for the Encryption poo poo: It's a wedge. The Govt's entire strategy at the moment is to smash Labor on border and national security, so the ALP are playing it safe and running somewhat bipartisan on both. The Liberals will still attack the ALP for being weak on Natsec/Borders (as they have been all day), but the difference is whether or not the Media run with the narrative. If the ALP are clearly voting for these bills with a few key amendments to stop them from say preventing a business from running a VPN service or other hilariously inept drafting issues they're known for, then the mainstream media have a harder time actually pinning it on Labor, and are more likely to point out the ridiculousness of the Govt's behaviour today. It's more of the small target tactic, which is working ridiculously well for them. Also there is likely a darker edge to it - you don't have to worry about the government spying on unions if it's an ALP government. Much like we didn't have to worry about the government stacking the FWC under a Labor govt. It's a dick move, but it's an ALP favourite.
