Are the ABS usually pricks to deal with? I've had to deal with them at work this week and they've been loving rude about some surveys they want done. It's not like I'm sitting around twiddling my thumbs waiting for a survey to do, but some fuckwit kept talking over the top of me about how if I didn't complete this poo poo we'd be breaking the Census Act and the Statistician General or someone would write a letter demanding the info.

Giving this some love. The ABS ~used~ to be chill and customer focused. Howard,Abbott,Morrison et al have probably cut budgets to the point that this guy is trying to pull an entire National Survey together using an ancient ACER laptop and some string. Not an excuse, as such.

I saw a lot of wingnuts running with the whole 'he's vaguely ethnic looking and therefore must be a Muslim' super quick.

The perp is definitely Anglo so it will be interesting to see the cognitive dissonance when the identity is confirmed. These rw types are shameless cretins so i'm guessing they will pretend it never happened.

Statistically it's probably going to be somebody who was well known to the police and likely at the time of the attacks should have been in jail on domestic violence charges, but somehow wasn't, because that's what it always loving seems like is the case when people in this country are senselessly murdered.

He doesn't look Anglo and even on a random dice roll most Sydney residents are not Anglo (white yes, Anglo no).

Willing to bet now that (irrespective of race) this was motivated by paranoid schizophrenia/drug-induced/generalised tinfoil hat fixation rather than anything political or ideological. When was the last time we even had a straight-up ideologically motivated Islamic attack? The guy on Bourke St that set fire to his car and stabbed the Pellegrini's owner?

It’s bad enough that so many arseholes project their prejudices onto the situation, no one needs that dickhead throwing in his pet peeve anti-bike poo poo in too.

fake edit:

I was curious who he actually was and he’s definitely a dickhead, but no point in me being upset about him being a dickhead
