There is probably some bias in the data, as commbank has poo poo for interest, so -like me- the savings go into a different bank. But to think that 70% of people at my age have a hundred dollar buffer or less is unsettling.

What the actual gently caress

Guardian posted:

Peter Dutton has been forced to withdraw a comment branding the Greens leader as an “enemy of the state” during torrid debate on the new Asio powers bill.

The legislation - which lowers the minimum age for compulsory questioning on terrorism-related matters to 14 years, and expands the type of issues that can be subject to questioning to include espionage and foreign interference - sailed through the lower house a short time ago.

Labor attempted to move some amendments, including ensuring that a judge continue to be involved in signing off on compulsory questioning warrants rather than just putting it in the hands of the attorney general, but those amendments failed (59 votes in favour to 61 votes against).

Guardian Australia had previously reported on the push from Labor to keep what it described as a Howard government safeguard, or “double lock”, on signing off on questioning warrants - but Labor ended up voting for the bill even without that safeguard in place.

The Greens leader, Adam Bandt, claimed the new powers would give the attorney general unfettered powers, and that Labor should be prepared to vote down the entire bill if the amendments did not succeed.

Dutton said he wanted to thanks shadow attorney general Mark Dreyfus for his contribution to the debate but the home affairs minister said he hoped somebody fact checked Bandt’s “appalling contribution”.

“People will take it at face value and discount it as an appalling contribution. You [Bandt] make Australians unsafe, you make Australians unsafe through your pathetic contributions and your stances in relation to these matters.”

Dutton said ensuring safety and protection of the Australian community was the first priority of the Morrison government, and the security agencies needed the capability to counter the threats of politically motivated violence, terrorism espionage and foreign interference.

Both Dutton and Dreyfus pointed to the fact the bill included repeal of the more intrusive “questioning and detention” powers.

Dutton moved some amendments in response to recommendations of the parliamentary joint committee on intelligence and security. Dutton praised the work of Liberal committee chair Andrew Hastie and Labor deputy chair Anthony Byrne, whom he described as “two absolutely patriotic and professional” MPs “in complete contrast to the enemy of the state, the member for Melbourne [Bandt], as was represented before in his contribution”.

Bandt demanded that the minister withdraw and apology for unparliamentary remark, prompting Dutton to withdraw the comment.

Whatever you think about him as a politician (and he has a lot of things to answer for) during Victoria's lockdown he very clearly made solving that crisis his life's work and his legacy, consequences to his political career be damned, and I think that's exactly what we should expect of our leaders.
