Senor Tron posted:There's definitely flags to look at when someone is criticised for not protesting "properly" but yeah it probably is fair to criticise when the person involved is a straight politician currently trying to carve out her own independent political identity. i get this and i have to admit i have the same thoughts but purely on face value its an act of solidarity which is something i think deserves somewhat more respect than it is getting from some people itt and i dont think its reasonable to expect allyship to be possible without such acts

every year it comes up as a topic of discussion and every year it gets shot down because sponsors threaten to pull funding and you think this is sign of some kind of community support for police in pride?

Recoome posted:I’m positive there’s probably a government minister who’s interested in an 80 slide PowerPoint deck!!!’ Alright well can you sort out Sydney's cycle network then please, it's getting ridiculous, the plans there ready to go and everything Capt.Whorebags posted:Water storage dams, hydro dams, and flood control dams, all have very different use profiles. Cool thanks. I guess this is more a question for the energy generation megathread, but I would have thought if we’ve got water running through these pipes to and from Prospect we could stick a few turbines in there. Sydney is surrounded by the Wonora, Cataract, Cordeaux, Avon, and Nepean dams in the south, Warragamba in the west, and even Mangrove Creek in the north. Surely technology and the energy market have evolved over the last 20 years to the point where it might be more worth it. Like if we start with however many MW we can get from that, and work out what we need to build on top. Especially if we need it more to top-up on cloudy days than as an always on kind of deal. Side note, Sydney's drainage is really counter intuitive. It's like the harbour / Parramatta River are just a little thumb print on the bank of the mighty Hawkesbury Nepean:

they keep not-namedropping someone with 400 million, i feel like surely it's gotta be gina, but then again maybe they wouldn't spite their donors like that and it's the bitbucket guy? edit AGAIN: donation disclosures are boring AF but both of the above gave money to lnp for sure but not so sure about alp so they seem like solid choices G-Spot Run fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Feb 28, 2023 |

Yeah it just comes down to the hydraulics of those pipes. If they are not flowing with significant pressure - and they are long pipelines with not a lot of difference in altitude - then the cost of installing and running the turbines may not be recouped from the electricity generated. You may actually be better off directing that money somewhere else. How about covering the water supply open canals with solar panels? Reduce evaporation and generate electricity.

Gotta make sure I don't forget to road test my views on queer liberation with Deloitte! The AGM is open to members, anyone can become a member, and 78ers get free life membership. Feel free to cite any polling in the broader queer community, as far as I can see none has been done.

Seemlar posted:Do you believe Thorpe has brought focus onto anything other than "Lidia Thorpe just seems like an arsehole" with this I would argue that is less Thorpe's fault for her (arguably) ill thought out protest, and more on the media coverage of it. Coz all the coverage has been "Lidia Thorpe has disrupted Mardi Gras!" and painting her as a crazy woman disrupting what should be a happy queer celebration for her own selfish reasons. And if they mention why she protested at all, (no cops at pride), then it is very quietly and buried beneath the "nutbar politician attacked queer event" narrative.

This was always going to be the case, and hopefully is something Senator Thorpe considers before undertaking action. Is it shithouse reporting? Sure. Will Thorpe’s presence further an agenda or just draw more backlash? Almost certainly the latter. I’m sure as hell not going to tell her what to do though.
