Because they can't circumvent the courts -that- overtly and directly by sending people to actual prison, but immigration detention that totally isn't prison doesn't count.

Because this guy already served the sentence for the crime he was charged and convicted for and the sentence wasn't "death". If he was Australian born he'd have been free years ago, this ruling struck down the idea that when you want to deport someone but can't an alternative is just throwing them in a box for the rest of their natural lives without charge.

Anti-vaxxers are winning local elections across Western Australiaquote:Candidates backed by an anti-vaccine, conspiracy theory-promoting group have been elected to councils across Western Australia after last month’s election following campaigns in which they played down or hid their fringe beliefs. Good thing we're not vigorously examining the machine behind this kind of fuckery.

No it's still pretty much a surface-level analysis, it's not really looking at the machine that's driving it or how they're doing it. And I meant in here anyway. But yes it's good to see Cam back out there with a decent report.

So wait, Bruce L's defence is he took the women to Parliament, asked to be let in because he left his house keys there (what?), left her in the room, remembered he needed to do some very late night work (?!) while somewhat drunk (!!?), and then left without seeing her again (!!??!!). While she was undressed in the outer room he would have to walk past to go out. Is that his defence?

I didn’t realise until yesterday that they stream federal court cases on youtube - Federal Court of Australia. I also didn’t realise how boring and procedural the first day of trial would be, sounds like today had been more interesting with him offering his version of events.

The Artificial Kid posted:The drag queen story hour thing is bad enough in the US, but they absolutely need to gently caress off with that poo poo in a country that has an actual history of pantomime, and where Priscilla was made. The crossdressing aspect has never been the issue, they've never had a problem with The Footy Show or Barry Humphries putting on a dress & wig and doing a risque performance full of double entendres on national TV in front of all the kids. (As an aside, note also that the actors portraying drag queens in Priscilla were also all hetero men.) The 'problem' with drag is that it's an empowerment of LGBTQ+ people and they're fighting against people trying to 'normalise' that. They know that general homophobia is not going to fly any more so they're picking and choosing their targets more carefully, targeting drag queens and trans people and claiming they're trying to protect kids or the sanctity of women's sports or keep rapists out of women's toilets because they know those topics have better optics. They're like the raptors in Jurassic Park, constantly checking the fence for weak points so they can break out

Is it so he can put "sucessfully raped twice and got away with it" on his resume? I hope he goes down in a blubbering heap as he loses everything, but the defamation payout will need to be huge as nobody with a nanogram of integrity would ever employ him now*. *So plenty of jobs in the mineral council, LNP (etc).

My money is that the man from Toowoomba may or may not be a sexual predator and pest but it seems he very much is the type of squealing grub who will say or do anything if it means he skips out or lessens the things he has done. Either he is : 1. In too deep with lies, 2. has powerful connections, 3. has secrets he's willing to share with his backers or, 4. is a little bit of all of those.

He isn't anyone important and he doesn't have a display at the war memorial or anything! He launched the defamation case on people who didn't name him publicly which then named him publicly. He's either guilty of everything or guilty of most of it. Culture warriors would be looking for some sort of book deal for him afterwards then appearances on Sky After Dark.
