Has there been any announcement about how this home builder grant would work? Does it count towards your deposit? Can you get it and the deposit guarantee thing simultaneously?

Someone sent me something yesterday saying it’s about improving energy efficiency of houses built before 6 star rating was a thing.

Some brilliant timing from NSW Police, who slammed a kid face-first into the ground for swearing at them

quote:

"There were words exchanged between them, which caused the constable to react and whether or not that reaction is appropriate is subject to that investigation," Assistant Commissioner Willing said.

I think they maaaaaaay now say "you know what lets not lift the covid restrictions" as today was the NSW first day of lifting them and simultaneously they're getting police brutality protests. And it will be effective because well i'm literally sitting at home as I have been for months now as I can't risk exposure to covid.

quote:

Sometimes people use “respect” to mean “treating someone like a person” and sometimes they use “respect” to mean “treating someone like an authority”

and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say “if you won’t respect me I won’t respect you” and they mean “if you won’t treat me like an authority I won’t treat you like a person”

and they think they’re being fair but they aren’t, and it’s not okay.

I think this is bigger and has the potential to stick around for much longer because 20% of the country is unemployed and doesn’t have anything better to do. Also the unemployment rate is probably much much higher than that in the black communities that are the most pissed off too.

Reading the CSPAM riot threads, the US is approaching 25% unemployment, with 50% unemployment for those under 45.

Also, that $1200 cheque (which got delayed so Trump could put his name on it) was a one-off deal and the poorest people weren't eligible for it in the first place.

Now, add to that, schools and universities are still closed and you have ALL the youngest sections of society with no money and nothing to distract them. Many riots die down once people have to go back to work.

Now people have no jobs, no money and the rich and powerful are just rubbing the salt into their wounds that they mean nothing to them.

Add to that, you have Trump sitting in the white house basement in a diaper full of piss, with the lights off upstairs being mocked and desperate to play the tough man.

It's a perfect storm of hosed up.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
Not surprised to see LaTrobe uni completely up poo poo creek.

My impression from my time there was that they were cramming in totally unsuitable international students far more than either of the other two universities I've been at, and despite that they were still losing money and trying to restructure. I think their first attempt at a restructure was a bit of a flop too (although that was finalised a little while after I left), and had to be followed up with Restructure II: Restructure Harder lol

They also gutted a bunch of departments and now they seem to be confused as to why domestic students don't want to go there. I'm sure sacking more staff will improve the situation.

https://www.smh.com.au/national/police-commissioner-concerned-by-video-of-aboriginal-teen-s-arrest-20200603-p54z0d.html

quote:

NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller has said he has "concerns" about the behaviour of a constable who swept the legs out from underneath an Aboriginal teenager and pinned him to the footpath on Monday.

Video emerged on Tuesday of a group of teenage boys disagreeing with three officers in Surry Hills' Ward Park. The video shows three officers interacting with several teenagers, with a male constable appearing to tell one of the boys he needs to "open up his ears". An investigation is being led into the arrest of an Indigenous teenager in Surry Hills after footage of the incident emerged online. The boy seems to respond: "What? I heard you from over here, I don't need to open up my ears. I'll crack you in the f--king jaw, bro." The constable appears to proceed to grab the boy's hands behind his back, and kick his legs out from underneath him before handcuffing him as the boy moans in apparent pain from the ground.
He is believed to have chipped a tooth in the incident. "It’s alleged a 17-year-old boy from the group threatened an officer, before being arrested and taken to Surry Hills police station," NSW Police said in a statement on Tuesday.

He was released into the care of his family without being charged.

"There were probably other ways that the officer could have dealt with that matter, no doubt," Commissioner Fuller told 2GB's Ben Fordham on Wednesday morning. "We do train to use leg sweeps as a tactic, so that is something that we can use. But of course, this is a case of two things: is it reasonable for a person to swear and threaten a police officer? And is the force the officer used reasonable? These are a couple of things that are a live issue at the moment for us." Commissioner Fuller accepted that the officer, who had a "clean record" during a three-and-a-half year career with NSW Police, was not in any danger at the time and he held concerns about the officer's conduct. "Not for one minute am I sitting here saying the officer's actions were correct. The focus is on whether the force was excessive or not," Commissioner Fuller said. The police's internal Professional Standards Command are investigating the incident and a criminal investigation into the boy's alleged conduct continues, although Commissioner Fuller said he did not expect the officer would lose his job. If the complaints are sustained against him, you would have to say that he's had a bad day. I'm sure most of the community wouldn't want to see someone sacked after making such a commitment to the community."

Hold the gently caress up money bags, I want him sacked. I also think the criminal investigation should be into him and the actions of the two other officers who aided and abetted him in an unprovoked assault on a minor. Also note worthy is the assault happened during recon loving ciliation week. A week where police should reflect upon their relations with indigenous Australians by tazing themselves repeatedly in the genitals while sitting in the back of an unventilated truck bouncing along a desert road in extreme heat. If the season makes the temperature too mild then consideration should be given to setting fire to the truck.

In no way wishing to trivialise the need for mental health care for first responders, but, one can't help but think the sessions for police might go something like this:

"Well based on my professional assessment you are a psychopath with no hope of redemption. Embrace it?"

The people you're going to have to convince are Lowtax and the Secret Service, not me. As things currently stand, not openly calling for the death of the president is a non-negotiable condition for continuing to post on this website - no exceptions, no matter how funny it is.

I just want to be clear here, since this is apparently the Avshalom Discussion Thread these days: the one and only reason Avshalom is permabanned right now is because, after her first perma for repeatedly threatening the life of the president, she was eventually unpermaed on the sole condition that she would stop calling for the death of the president. This was made clear to her. And then she kept posting about how much she wanted the president to be dead. All she had to do was stop posting threats against the president of the United States, and she could have copy-pasted fart porn fanfiction into mental health threads all she loving wanted and probably not gotten re-permaed.
