Also in another “lol”, if you Google “Voice referendum pamphlets” the direct link to the “no” pamphlet is one of the top hits. Not features is the main landing page or the “yes” one.

Yeah I get a little bit of junk then the AEC no pamphlet. No sign of the AEC yes pamphlet on page one.

E: five pages in haven't seen an AEC link to yes pamphlet. Yes23 page is at the bottom of the page under sponsored ads.

I didn't really follow the Gobbo case closely, but I know that one of the results was a massive (and possibly counter-productive) strengthening of disclosure requirements to the point where Victoria's are now the strictest in the country, so I don't think it's fair to say the result was "welp"

If they show that there are no consequences for breaching those requirements though it doesn't matter how strict they are....

Gold Coast offers to host 2026 Commonwealth Games

Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate has announced the Gold Coast has offered to host the 2026 Commonwealth Games after Victoria cancelled, 9News Gold Coast is reporting.

Telling that the mayor of the Gold Coast has the same idea that dogshit idiot Basil Zemplis was floating.

Meanwhile the West Australian, a dogshit rag, has decided to give fucknuts himself a big old soapbox.

Our worst Mayor, in our worst Newspaper posted:

Basil Zempilas: Why Perth should seize golden opportunity to host Commonwealth Games

<snip a bunch of self fellating garbage>

I’ve seen the games’ profoundly positive impact on their host city from the broadcast box at Kuala Lumpur, Manchester, Melbourne, the Gold Coast, and Birmingham.
That once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to bring that joy to Perth for the price we want to pay exists right now. It only requires a leader with vision, confidence and the willingness to do it his way to get it done.
And if you’re still unsure, remember by 2026, we could have social and affordable housing delivered for an additional 7000 West Australians courtesy of the athletes’ village, which would be built for the games. That’s a lasting legacy for all West Australians.

Yeah Basil, I'm dead sure the Atheletes village will be built to be converted into social housing (which is always a great idea to concentrate in a single area) and definitely won't be turned into luxury condos for maximum developer profit and graft.

I'm going to have to remake my Joe Hildebrand for Basil.

If only he was merely that poo poo. Rather than editorialise further, I will just quote him.

A oval office posted:

I make no apologies for this, the homeless need to be moved out of the Hay and Murray Street malls and the surrounding areas. Forcibly, if that’s what it takes. I’m sick of being told by people who don’t live and work in the city like I do that it’s not that bad — actually, it’s worse. The look, the smell, the language, the fights — it’s disgusting. A blight on our city."

Lose the knife or lose your life to jail is what they're going for, but it does sound a bit like encouraging suicide by cop if you read it a certain way.

That's why they said they're considered knives under Vic law, they're just warning you how little they know about reality, and if they don't know the "this is a knife" gag from the Simpson's was a joke, what else don't they know?

I also like that a screwdriver is apparently a knife according to that graphic.

Unpacking my toolbox like:
Hammer? That's a baton mate, so that's a knife.
Screwdriver? Philips Head Knife or Flathead Knife?
Boxcutter? Definitely Knife.
Spirit Level? I think you mean Levelling Baton, so knife.
Spanner? Bolt baton bud, that's a knife.
Measuring Tape? Nope, that's just poorly made nunchucks, so, yep, another knife.

Is this knife stuff because that kid got stabbed at sunshine station a little while back? I didn't realise we had an epidemic of knife crime that would require extra powers

Bald Stalin

Since there's no guns, cops are most scared of getting stabbed instead. Crime, especially violent crime, is relatively low in Australia but what violent crime there is is often with blunt weapons and knives. But you're correct there's relatively little of it. It might get worse as the working class gets squeezed and suffers under cost of living pressures due to the ruling class' policies and actions but it's always overblown by the media.

Pasty but I look like I’m unemployed so it’s probably a knife. I don’t actually own a multi-tool so I’m probably safe until they mistake something else for a knife.

The whole knife thing is aimed at youth crime where kids can basically gently caress up their lives because they are carrying weapons and might actually use them. The Queensland trains also have 'em and also IIRC there have been more than a few cases of kids/young adults killing people and really adding barriers can help to reduce that.
