On reflection, the Vape Ban does actually seem overly heavy-handed, and at least somewhat detached from reality.

We can ban the sale of those disposable ones the kids love, but to ban importing the juice bottles that grown-ups use in their reusable machines, instead of smoking cigarettes, is pretty poo poo.

Yes

And guess who now has a monopoly on the industry? Phillip Morris. They're the only ones who can sell the devices, and they're the only ones who can supply the pharmacies with the liquids.

No but there are new regs if you want to import (it has to be for medicinal cannabis and only businesses are eligible for import licences).

all the good aussie vape vendors are totally silent on the subject (no emails or blog posts warning of incoming bans) so I wouldnt worry about it.

importing your own from OS would probably get thru without hassle. Small fish etc. Most of the good products are sold locally with local warranty etc through said vendors.

The Oxford English Dictionary does not limit the definition of racism as applying only to white against others.

quote:

racism noun

/ˈreɪsɪzəm/
/ˈreɪsɪzəm/
[uncountable]
​ the unfair treatment of people who belong to a different race; violent behaviour towards them

If a black person behaves violently or aggressively towards a white person solely because that person is white, that is racism, regardless of your belief or opinion.

Her behaviour is actually more likely to have me promote the sport to my daughter and hold her up as a role model, to be utterly frank. Sam Kerr is an Australia hero, she's an icon, and she's truly encompassing traditional Aussie values by telling British cops to get hosed.

Don't play the white card guys, it never ends well.

Ah, I guess she must have called the cop the w-word purely because they were white with no other factors involved.

When someone says to me "Go gently caress yourself you white oval office" they're not saying that because I'm white, they're saying that because I'm being a oval office.

Good luck to the cop getting up and arguing not ACAB in this day and age.

The phrase "All Coppers Are Bastards" first appeared in England in the 1920s, then was abbreviated to "ACAB" by workers on strike in the 1940s.

Saying you can't be racist against white people is racist in itself.

Of course it's hard to actually care about racism to white people, but it's not a complicated issue. If someone posts a meme that "all white women gently caress dogs" they are being extremely unambiguously racist.
