I think the term Bonk Ban helps me realise where some of the perception of "she'll be right" Australia, at odds with generally relatively pedantic behavior of Australians. I think a lot of Europe/Africa/Asia will not as commonly use an irreverent term for a policy (for eg) but would also not follow it as strictly or be concerned that others were not following it. The act of casualising the title for a serious business concept allows for the topic to be discussed in general conversation without sounding like talking rules and regulations. And it is generally the case that the more you talk about something, the more it is in the minds of people as they go about their business. Admittedly, in this case there is extra interest because the party of conservatives has generally been the mob to hold everyone else to their values so double tasty to rub the bonk ban into their faces.

Knobb Manwich posted:If you go by number of breasts it looks remarkably like the Dewey system. In case some of you had surprise lobotomies a reminder that Christian Porter is the Attorney General. They are without a single doubt the person most likely to heavily compromise Australia's most vital intelligence assets if they were to fall victim to a honey trap. More over the whole edifice of the Protective Security apparatus relies on everyone in the hierarchy below him exercising extreme care in these 'intimate' matters. Once upon a time the merest suggestion that an AG had been exposed to a compromising situation would have led to an immediate shame faced resignation. Not our CP nuh uh he's looking at the courts for defamation. Another thing he should know as AG is unlikely to fly. It really is beyond the pale/satire. Mr Lord, known to his family as Bud, had a heart attack while in hospital awaiting gall bladder surgery. He was serving a jail sentence for driving disqualified. An inquest found his health care in hospital was adequate but his family called for changes to the laws that allowed him to be jailed for driving while disqualified, saying they unfairly targeted Aboriginal people and those in remote and regional areas. A 2017 review by the Australian Law Reform Commission later found the laws overwhelmingly affected Aboriginal people.

Cartoon posted:Something, something, Braille. No, I think there is a single doubt - much of the national security apparatus is in Home Affairs these days, it was shuffled out of AGD. Luckily, we have our paragon of justice Dutton there, the man of iron, who I'm absolutely positive has no skeletons in his closet and genuinely has the interests of all Australians at heart, his disdain for corruption perhaps only equalled by his concern for human rights and the rule of law.

Jobseeker is getting extended past Christmas to March, but at a lower rate again. $100/fn, down from $250/fn, down from $550/fn. Hmm $40 a day is not enough to live on... What about $47 dollars a day?

Wouldn't it be great if we could trust out fellow citizens to use their experience receiving sub-poverty payouts to vote the LNP out en masse at the next elections and force a massive increase in payouts so that they're finally at a liveable level.

why did queensland even have laws saying the runner up becomes mayor if the current mayor resigns ah I found it, it was changed in some new laws introduced by labor earlier this year, still doesn't really make sense: quote:Mr Hinchliffe said the laws had initially been changed in a bid to discourage councillors from running in the October state election, but conceded the laws had not “really been successful”. lih fucked around with this message at 09:08 on Nov 10, 2020 |

Mayors shouldn’t be directly elected, they should be elected by the councillors each year so they can spend their entire time plotting against each other and let the bureaucracy actually run the council unimpeded

kirbysuperstar posted:lol how loving dumb do you have to be to throw away free goodwill points I imagine that even if you ignore the fact that the number of people who think they should do it is probably outweighed by the number who would complain about how there isn't a special flag for white people, making the net goodwill negative, even the gross goodwill would be very minimal. How many of the people who would consider that a good thing would think "oh I guess the liberal party isn't so bad" vs the ones who'd say "that's just an empty gesture, take some real action on a treaty"?

And here is why the ALP will lose the next federal election: https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/fitzgibbon-quits-after-climate/12870542 JM died in Canberra hospital one month after being denied a lung transplant because he was a heavy smoker. He was just 26 years old but had been diagnosed with usual interstitial pneumonia, an untreatable disease caused by scarring of the lungs which is usually seen in people aged 50 and over. He was serving a 13-year sentence at Alexander Maconochie centre.

Buttcoin purse posted:What's a "cheesecloth brigade"? JAA died from ischaemic heart disease, but the relevant contribution of chronic lung disease and the possibility of concurrent drug toxicity was difficult to completely exclude at that time. JAA's sister was distressed that she was unable to care for him in the last weeks of his life and was forced to leave that to others in the prison. The coroner also found it most unfortunate that she was left wondering whether or not her brother was comfortable in his last days and weeks.
