All this carbon dioxide is good for plant growth I've heard. At least we don't have those Labor death taxes, right? Especially with all the death we're going to see.

I'm in bushfire territory (safe but constant smoke for weeks now) and people still are blaming Greens, despite not having control of literally anything at any level of government for a very long time. One client of mine said that if we stop selling coal to China they'll park a battlecruiser in Sydney harbour. Another said it's hypocritical that people protesting the climate haven't thrown away their phones. My favourite was someone telling me that when he was in school a teacher told them every day the world would end by the year 2000 due to climate change and gave him the cuts when he (a primary school student) told him this was wrong. Facebook boomers are real.

Labor leader Anthony Albanese will warn a "complacent" Facebook is putting Australia's democratic values at risk, while urging all sides of politics to "step back" from social media and return to "rational discussion". The Opposition Leader will on Saturday offer his support to the Your Right To Know campaign, promising a bipartisan approach if the Morrison government wants to change the law to protect press freedom. While urging his political opponents to respect the views of the country's top scientists and experts on subjects like climate change, Mr Albanese will also call on progressive movements to better understand the viewpoints of those who feel insecure about change. In his third "vision statement" since taking federal Labor's top job after its shock election loss, Mr Albanese will call for a "renewal of Australia's democracy", which he claims is under attack from secret government processes, social media and a decline in the standard of public discourse. In a direct attack on Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, he will accuse the social media giant of failing to address the spread of misinformation and hiding behind its own community guidelines. "Zuckerberg says he thinks people should be able to see what politicians are saying. But what happens when it turns out that what politicians are saying isn't real at all?" Mr Albanese will say in a speech to a Chifley Research Centre conference in Sydney. "Facebook usually won't do anything at all. They'll argue that it doesn't violate their community guidelines. They say that so long as they eventually note the information is fake, the community can judge for itself." He will say he was affected by "fake news" himself this week when self-described men's rights activist Leith Erikson used a doctored social media image pushing a "loopy campaign" against the Family Court. "Unless you'd seen the original, there is no way that you would know the image was a fake. My words were replaced. The image even included my legal authorisation at the bottom – a clear breach of Australia's electoral laws," Mr Albanese will say. "When we raised this with Facebook, they shrugged. They said it wasn't a breach of community guidelines." Mr Albanese will also urge those engaging in the political debate to "think before we tweet". "Take some heat out of our debates. Passion is good. Trolling is bad. It undermines the potential for rational discussion." He will say in its seventh year, the Coalition government is at the point where it won't support freedom of the press. He will say journalism is "essential" to preserving Australia's democracy and call on the government to replace a "culture of secrecy" with "a culture of disclosure". "Protect whistle-blowers – expand their protections and the public interest test," he will say in the speech. Reform freedom of information laws so they can't be flouted by government. The current delays, obstacles, costs and exemptions make it easier for the government to hide information from the public. That's not right," Mr Albanese will say. "And bring in stronger protections for public interest journalism. Don't prosecute journalists just for doing their jobs." Calling for "proper, grown-up, democratic" conversation, he will say expert knowledge must be treated with respect. "Let's talk to each other with level heads. With reason, not anger. With respect, not condescension." He says while Coalition members too often see climate change as "little more than a conspiracy cooked up by academic scientists to get research grants" those who advocate change need to understand the viewpoints of those who will feel insecure about that change. "We must consider their point of view, their interests, their security, their future, their solutions," he will say.

Xmas lights up in Brisbane CBD last night were more eerie than cheerful due to the smoke haze. Was out at the UQ Gattan campus yesterday and two fires started not too far away in the evening. This is horrifying. The Greens must be stopped.

You know I get that Facebook is bad but in a year where people are getting banned from capital cities, civil servants and journalists are being spied on and prosecuted for exposing government crimes, protests and gatherings being outlawed became a serious possibility, ministers are being openly corrupt with no repercussions, the ADF being able to be deployed against civilians domestically, media ownership is somehow more concentrated than before with just Murdoch or loving Costello being the arbiters and a government changing its ministerial departments around in a way that undermines the cabinet system I think our democracy will be fine.

I do insist I'm happy to give Albanese atleast 3 years to develop. His leadership and approval ratings so far are promising and he needs to begin the long climb towards PPM. I think he is speaking the language of the so called swing voter but really, A shy tory is a shy tory and I'm sure the talking the talk ALbanese is doing has been tried and failed in other countries before. Never the less, it's 2010 again. Trains, NBN, ETS.

Amethyst posted:Who goes through Australian customs and thinks “man they really need to beef up security!” I went overseas for the first time in a decade for my honeymoon last month, and holy poo poo the customs at Perth airport is some full on Papers, Please bullshit now... wait, I say "now", but customs officers here have always been abrupt assholes who don't seem to comprehend that not everyone has the same day to day information/experience that they have and seem incapable of doing anything that might require them to crack even a half smile. But they seem even moreso now that they get to wear their AUSTRALIAN BORDER FORCE shirts. Going through the same process on the way back from Japan? Very opposite experience in terms of tone. (aside from the occasional "SMUGGLING WILL TERMINATE YOUR LIFE" engrish posters) I was even a fuckhead and accidentally left an empty can of coffee in my bag and the customs person was all just "oh okay, can you hold on to it while we rescan your bag, thanks". If the same scenario had happened on the way out I reckon I would have got the chewing out of a lifetime. My favourite part though? Going through the "new" passport scanners with notices like "by using these you consent to your information being stored and used by ABF and other agencies..." and it's not like you have an option NOT to do that if you want to board your loving plane? (happy to be corrected on this) tl;dr Australian customs feels oppressive and unwelcoming (duh), Japan customs was surprisingly chill? Go figure.

bowmore posted:There is no way both Albo and Morrison last the next 18 months What makes you think this? (genuine question!) I think the only risk to Morrison's leadership is an economic collapse and even then I wouldn't be certain that they just wouldn't wheel out the old "it's the other side's fault, can you imagine how much worse it would be if we weren't in charge" thing and the electorate will just eat it up. Albo only seems to have an appeal to rusted-on Albo fans who are never not going to vote ALP anyway, but I'm not sure who they'd replace him with to make the transition something that would actually make it easier for Labor to form government. He was the "left" choice and the moment he got power he's gone all but decorum moderate.
