Tim Smith and Ghislaine Maxwell are both trending on twitter and i'm not sure which would be the more popular choice to be the leader of the Victorian Liberals. I mean one literally rapes kids in a dungeon and the other is Ghislaine Maxwell.

There's not a lot of opposition in WA to be fair, if anything it seems like the opposition to WA is Clive Palmer with his trying to sue us for $30 billion dollars. I think he's writing a book called 'how to sink your electoral chances in an entire state in 2 easy steps.'

NPR Journalizard posted:Liza Harvey, im pretty sure. The only reason I know this is because she was obviously being groomed for leadership for about ten years with all the plushest portfolios. Also it was super funny that her shadow cabinet was leaking against her and describing how she left the party room "aghast" when she told them that she'd unilaterally declared that WA's borders should be open back in April or whatever. Just waltzing in, shuffling some papers and announcing you'd committed political suicide on behalf of yourself and all your colleagues. loving classic.

Hey, I cancelled a trip very recently because I didn't want to be a guest of Her Majesty's government in some hotel room for 14 days and pay for the privilege, but, seriously? (Alledgedly) Hiding in a truck so as to avoid 14 days in said hotel and $2500 because she was coming from COVID19 central (Victoria)? It's interesting that the cops connected a no-show on a flight to a visit to her partner's/her home. https://www.smh.com.au/national/western-australia/perth-woman-accused-of-hiding-in-truck-to-sneak-into-wa-from-victoria-20200813-p55lap.html

That's bizarre. Melbourne to Perth by truck has to be at least two and a half days even if driving non-stop, right? I'd pay $2,500 rather than be stowed away in the back of a semi sitting in the dark and pissing in a bucket.

Add on another 6 or so to get from melbourne to adelaide. Thats still a long loving time to be in the back of a truck going over the nullarbor.

Pikehead posted:Apparently it's possible that the virus stayed alive on the packaging of chilled imported goods. Yeah, I know their investigating that, and one of the people did work in cold storage, but still strikes me as incredibly unlikely. Willing to be proven wrong on this, but seems like their just investigating that due to lack of other leads. Think it's still likely to just be a human to human transmission that's somehow's been missed.

Rest of the time there's no problems sitting up front. And it's not as though the checkpoint is going to move from wherever the border is. dr_rat posted:Yeah, I know their investigating that, and one of the people did work in cold storage, but still strikes me as incredibly unlikely. Yeah, I have to admit it doesn't sound likely, but they'll be able to look further into wether it's possible. It's not like there's many other ways to get infected in NZ though.

Australian musician Nick Cave says cancel culture "has an asphyxiating effect on the creative soul of a society" and political correctness "has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world". In the latest edition of his online newsletter, The Red Hand Files, Cave wrote that cancel culture is "bad religion run amuck". "As far as I can see, cancel culture is mercy’s antithesis," Cave wrote in response to a reader's question on the subject. "Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. Its once-honourable attempt to reimagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer (and none of the beauty) — moral certainty and self-righteousness shorn even of the capacity for redemption. It has become, quite literally, bad religion run amuck." Cancel culture's "refusal to engage with uncomfortable ideas", according to Cave, hampers the creativeness and diversity of society. He wrote that mercy "allows us the ability to engage openly in free-ranging conversation" and acts as a "safety net of mutual consideration". Without it, "a society loses its soul, and devours itself". "Tolerance allows the spirit of enquiry the confidence to roam freely, to make mistakes, to self-correct, to be bold, to dare to doubt and in the process to chance upon new and more advanced ideas. Without mercy, society grows inflexible, fearful, vindictive and humourless," Cave wrote. "As far as I can see, cancel culture is mercy’s antithesis. Political correctness has grown to become the unhappiest religion in the world. Its once-honourable attempt to re-imagine our society in a more equitable way now embodies all the worst aspects that religion has to offer ... It has become, quite literally, bad religion run amuck." Cave, who last month streamed a solo performance from London's Alexandra Palace, regularly responds to reader questions on The Red Hand Files, a website he started two years ago. His intervention into the discussion about cancel culture comes after more than 150 writers, academics and activists signed an open letter warning about the dangers of an "intolerance of opposing views" that was now "spreading more widely in our culture". The high-profile signatories included Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling, The Handmaid's Tale author Margaret Atwood, feminist icon Gloria Steinem, CNN journalist Fareed Zakaria and Midnight's Children author Salman Rushdie. In a separate letter published by this masthead, 27 signatories – including Indigenous filmmakers Warwick Thornton, Rachel Perkins, Ivan Sen and Darren Dale, writer Andrew Bovell and Hollywood star Joel Edgerton and his director brother Nash – argued that public shaming had gone too far. This is not the first time Cave has lashed out at cancel culture. In December 2018, he condemned a cultural boycott of Israel and said playing concerts in Tel Aviv with his band the Bad Seeds did not signify support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. He accused the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement of attempting to “bully, shame and silence musicians”. In his latest post, Cave said creativity was "an act of love that can knock up against our most foundational beliefs, and in doing so brings forth fresh ways of seeing the world" and this was "both the function and glory of art and ideas". "A force that finds its meaning in the cancellation of these difficult ideas hampers the creative spirit of a society and strikes at the complex and diverse nature of its culture," Cave wrote. "But this is where we are. We are a culture in transition, and it may be that we are heading toward a more equal society — I don’t know — but what essential values will we forfeit in the process?"
