boofhead: a brutal sledge

turns out all my kindergarten friends in early 90s inner Melbourne were real savages... throwing terms like "boofhead" around.

Who else do the libs have? And also Morrison may be particularly inept, but it's not like he's going to exit right before the election.

Like we just have a really lovely standard for federal politicians. A few good greens ones occasionally, other then that?

I believe it was a reference to being ceremonially knifed and offered to Moloch like all other Labor leaders

Hmm... "strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones"

Albo had sex with a -possible? sources are... vague at best- Canaanite god/demon. Man for someone so metal as gently caress, he sure does come off as boring as hell.

Labor is so drat awful at promoting the few actually good things they actually do. :(

"I wish I found it more surprsing" says the PM on sexual harrassment in parliament. What the gently caress is he trying to say? That he was already well aware of how bad it is and has done gently caress all?

Ah gently caress it's just a bit like that though isn't it, oooooh we hate it so much don't we, awwww it's gross! But so it goes

What he is trying to say is "Ahh, this filthy heathen godless world is so full of sin that of course there is fornication and wantonness right under my nose. This wouldn't happen in a more Christian environment." and "Is it any wonder that y'all are sexually harrassing each other? What with your womenfolk allowed to roam free and unchained away from their kitchens?"

min/max the personal responsibility vs collective responsibility. Ever since Ms Higgins went public, Morrison has been trotting out the "both sides of the chamber" argument. It's shockingly vile, even for him.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

In three words, "Sit down boofhead", and the annoyed facial expression that accompanies them, Albo managed to show more humanity, personality, and likability than he has during his entire tenure as Opposition leader.

Although I fear it may lead to some horrible scripted, posed, wooden attempts to repeat the performance of it. Completely missing the point, and sucking all the joy and energy from the one time he actually acted like a human being.

DATA FLOW DIAGRAM!
Vaccine mandate has come in for WA, have some mates who work in FIFO areas saying that a not insignificant chunk of workers were under the impression that the gov or business would cave and they are 'irreplacable' and are now shocked they got told they can't enter site this morning and are being terminated or sent home. Uneven distribution is wack, some places have basically only had 1 person others have had lots of people from all levels. A bunch of others are on LSL or leave without pay hoping to come back after Christmas without a vax. I imagine lots of them will cave when they realise they need money.

I'm not really that surprised, lots of misinformation flying around FIFO groups and workers, and while some sites seem fine, others are the most backwater hellholes of racist and sexist shitheads that you've ever seen. A couple of nutters in a team can spread misinformation like wildfire among their workmates.

Unfortunately I also expect services in a bunch of gov departments where mandates are coming into force over the next few as months to be impacted. We just got told that we'll have to upload our vax cert into our HR system 'soon' (i work in education, but not a school) and I imagine there is a crazy person or two in here that will refuse out of some weird principle.

I'd guess it is the one on the OCC Apparel store at Tempe, just across from the Ikea Block, driving northbound.

It's a popular site for people to express their opinions on advertising.

The last one in September was from there also.

I've got a local election running in my area and I've got no idea about anyone aside from Labour (bad but better than some other options) and Sustainable Australia (ecofash). The rest are all independent. What would be a good place to get more info about the candidates? I'm not super politically engaged right now but my thought is just "the more left the better" right now.

Aside from seeing what material they may have submitted over at elections.nsw.gov.au (assuming it's NSW anyway, mine was), honestly i just google the names and parties and hope for the best. Our ward has three 'groups', one labeled Labor and two unlabeled, but searching the unlabeled ones brought up that they're both full of Ex-Liberals or 'endorsed' by the LNP, as an example.

Yeah just search the names. Most independents will have some kind of social media presence that will let you know what their deal is.

My local elections always have the same few fringe wierdos, including one guy who never posts an image of himself despite getting on the ballot for decades.

In my experience it's a lot of ex-Liberals who know liberals have a hard time in inner city councils so they run as independent. Or just plain fringe wierdos.

I tend to believe that council politics should be as independent as possible as the two party Coalition/Labor system is already strangling the Fed and state governments. But it's rare that I find independents worth voting for, which sucks.

My LGA has the usual bunch of anti-fluoridation wackjobs and that strongly aligns with "vaccination sceptics" so at least do some basic research if that's something you're not comfortable with.

Despite being told time and time again that fluoridation is not a local government decision, it just won't go away.
