Forgive me, as this is all apropos of nothing, and has probably all been said before and better by others in this thread. But I feel the need to say this somewhere. 1) Sky News Aus. are loving awful. They are trying SO hard to be Fox News, and whilst they have the fascist leaning, 'everything the other guy does is evil, everything our guy does is golden' partisanship down. They still manage to be loving bland and unwatchable. When Andrew Bolt sitting in front of a green screen intoning "climate change doesn't exist" dirge like is your flagship next to the short angry bearded guy, (sorry dunno his name) calling Dan Andrews a socialist dictator as your exciting programming. Your entire station is stinky poopy nonsense. 2) How loving pissweak is the Victorian Opposition. Don't get me wrong, I stand with Dan, and this interminable lockdown is working in terms of numbers etc. But any half competent opposition should be tearing strips off the man. There is the Hotel Quarantine bungle to attack him on. There is the rising sense of frustration and anger at lockdown to build upon. There is even a "look at other states, they can have a drink at the pub, why can't we!" simple arse slogan to rouse the apathetic. Yet the Vic. Libs are doing very little of this, and what they are doing they are doing badly. Andrews himself is even making himself a target by being on TV everyday. and 3) Scomo is still a prick.

Less screen time for whatshisface the Vic Lib leader to spew bullshit. Agree on all other points though. Bolt is possibly the least charismatic person I've ever seen, which is good because it hopefully makes his garbage opinion less persuasive.

Australians seem to delude ourselves thinking our country is less corrupt than what we think of other countries where you have to pay off the cops to not hassle you, and I guess we are in that regard, but the top end of society is just corrupt in every regard. It is so hosed.

He was last seen crossing the river on foot on the Spring Road Bridge while being followed by police and it is believed he may have jumped in. His body was not found until seven days later. His family raised concerns that he may have been assaulted, but the coroner ruled out foul play. ISSUES RAISED Mental health / cognitive impairment.

https://thenewdaily.com.au/life/tech/2020/09/30/centrelink-facial-recognition-mygov/ Didn't see this yet but the government is intending to roll out facial recognition for government services like enrolling to vote, getting a tax file number, and of course for use with welfare.

Facial recognition has proven very effective in controlling HK protests - identifying and targeting high value organisers far more effectively than US authorities have in suppressing BLM.

The most frustrating part of this if you ignore the authoritarian implications, is this continual idea that throwing technology at the problem will result in service improvements when that same money could be used for better resourcing and service delivery.

First time round a lot of the pushback was because the economy was good and people rightly saw it as an ideological overstep. This time the government and media will just say how it's necessary for recovery and enough people will buy it.

Watching the breakdown of the new covid tax cuts. Sure is nice that the people making the most money will be getting the most help. That makes perfect sense. Meanwhile, it looks like those on the subsistence payments won't be seeing poo poo because they won't be bringing in more that $40k, which is the cut-off.
