https://australiatalks.abc.net.au/ My personal highlights according to this probably very flawed, slightly-better-than-a-Buzzfeed-quiz: - 66% of people think political correctness has gone too far - 55% of people think you shouldn't be allowed to say discriminatory things in public - 75% of people think there's a lot of racism in Australia - 93% of Australians think we should show more respect towards each other - 56% of people think white Australians have an unfair advantage in Australia - 66% of people think Australia should do more to address injustices against Indigenous Australians - 43% of people think we should change the date of Australia Day - 63% of men think changing gender expectations have made life harder for men (compared to 57% of women) - 52% of men think women are treated equally in society (compared to 25% of women) Now, there's an obvious level of self-selection in this quiz (i.e. people who will do long quizzes on the ABC because they have nothing better to do on a Monday night). I'd be interested to see a breakdown by state to see if we could objectively conclude the worst state, but I don't think that's an option. Anyway, do it and find out what percent more left-wing you are than most of the country.

Whitlam posted:- 63% of men think changing gender expectations have made life harder for men (compared to 57% of women) My friends take on it: Australian men: "It's harder being a dude now that I'm expected to do 1/3rd of the housework instead of none of it" The thing that shits me is it's always framed in terms of dudes "losing" something while everyone conveniently ignores that it never should have been theirs to begin with.

There's another option, imo. "Please respect my right to be not white/not male/not straight." "Please respect my right to be a bigot." Pile Of Garbage posted:Remind me why Shorten was axed? Is it a rule if you rule a fed election you're out? It's not a rule, but it is an expectation when you lose two elections in a row, and iirc he said he'd step down if he lost.

Pile Of Garbage posted:Remind me why Shorten was axed? Is it a rule if you rule a fed election you're out? It's all about how you perform versus expectations. Labor didn't win in 2016, but no-one expected them to and they got so close that Turnbull practically cried on election night. Labor had momentum as an opposition that they used to keep pressure on the government in the years after. 2019 was practically a write off election for the Coalition and yet Shorten led Labor into failure. In politics it's really hard for someone to rebuild their public support after getting failure stench on them. The same thing happened with Corbyn, when May called the snap election everyone expected her to increase the Tory vote, but Corbyns Labor massively outperformed expectations so he got to stay around in the hope their upward trend would continue. If he loses the next election then he'll be out straight away.

I guess it also depends on whether we define "respect" as something akin to "deference to authority" or as "acknowledgement of another person's basic humanity".

Food delivery platform DoorDash has been accused of signing up restaurants without their permission in an aggressive land grab in Australia. The biggest food delivery platform in the United States has 300,000 restaurants on its books in the United States but its tactics since launching in Australia just over a month ago have angered some restaurant and cafe owners. Luke Lucas, co-owner of Foddies Cafe in Camberwell, said he only realised his cafe had been signed up to the platform last week when a delivery driver turned up. "We were hounded for months to sign up but never agreed to it," Mr Lucas said. "We don't use delivery services as it is and aren't interested in starting with new or existing ones." The online food delivery market in Australia was valued at $US939 million ($1.3 billion) for 2019 in a Deloitte report for Uber Eats, the dominant player in the market alongside Deliveroo. DoorDash's general manager in Australia, Thomas Stephens, said the platform had offered to act as a "courier service" for customers to restaurants in their neighbourhood, and restaurants could request removal from the platform. Mr Lucas said he received a call from DoorDash saying an order had been received and a driver, known as a 'dasher', had been sent to pick up the order. Foddies staff asked the driver to pay for the meal which he did before they made the food, gave it to the driver and requested removal from the platform. "The main concern is really around business practices and behaviour," Mr Lucas said. "I understand it's a competitive market and they are trying to penetrate it but going behind our backs and essentially trying to force our hand is entirely wrong." E-Gene Soh, co-founder of Jack B Nimble cafe in Maidstone, said the cafe was contacted by DoorDash a couple of months ago and received "lots of emails" but never signed up. Nevertheless, Jack B Nimble received a call from DoorDash saying someone had ordered food from the cafe on the platform and to have it ready for collection. "We don't know what is happening, there is no contract," Mr Soh said. "I am worried about a customer getting our food and if it is cold or they get sick I am not sure who is responsible." Mr Stephens said when DoorDash acts as a "courier service" for customers, the listing was at no cost to restaurants as delivery drivers had a card they used to pay for the orders. "Should a restaurant not want to be included in this service, we will remove them from our listings immediately upon being notified, and work closely with the owners for their business needs," he said. "We have had informative, enlightening conversations with restaurateurs who expressed concern, and we are actively seeking out restaurants to better understand their needs and move forward in helping them grow." Mr Stephens declined to say how many restaurants and cafes the food delivery platform had signed up so far. "[In the United States] we really sought and pursued the right merchants first and partnered deeply with those merchants to grow their business," he said. Mr Stephens said DoorDash was focusing outside the inner city where Uber Eats and Deliveroo are dominant. "The part that's under-served is the suburbs... and that's where we've worked to really push quickly, to get out there where we're really not having to compete as much to just give a great product."
