Eediot Jedi posted:Apparently the political prisoner turned nudist has been fired from big brother. My question would be: Why was she on it in the first place? I mean Caitlyn Jenner I can understand. She is actually famous in non right-wing media commentary circles and you can shock the pearl clutchers by having a *gasp* trans woman on TV. But unless they were getting Katie Hopkins on to deliberately do a racism and thus stir up controversy(tm), what is the point of getting a posh, middle aged Englishwoman who nobody normal has heard of on to Big Brother?

Maybe they were hoping Jenner would run Hopkins over and kill her? Would be great for the ratings. Hell, even I'd tune in to see that.

Pretty sure by putting Hopkins in the same house as Jenner they were hoping for the 1-2 combo of a racism and a terfism in the same day, for double the controversy points.

Fast Eddie, his son and Ian Macdonald have found guilty. I look forward to them getting a large fine for the $30000000 they got. Who am I kidding the penalty will be pathetic.

Not one ankle bracelet has been issued in Queensland's GPS tracker trial targeting 100 repeat youth offenders https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-07-19/no-gps-trackers-issued-in-queensland-trial/100302842 Member for Burdekin Dale Last said the reason the trackers were not being issued was because most of the repeat offenders were younger than 16. "The government has completely missed the mark when it comes to identifying the group of young offenders who are the most prolific offenders in our community," he said.

Hopkins has had her visa cancelled, apparently it was issued on the basis of "economic benefit".

They'd prefer socks and pillories. It's pretty easy to identify kids in need who are acting out. Actually helping them despite the best efforts of "tough on crime" politicians and cops is the actual hard part.

Is hotel quarantine still free? I didn't have to pay for my 14 day stay at the Sydney Travelodge, but that was last year. I vaguely remember something about returning travelers, and people arriving in Aus having to pay for their own lodging nowadays. But I don't know details.

I really hope someone runs election ads which are just Scott Morrison talking about how good it is that Sydney is resisting calls to lock down, followed by the news reports a few days later of the outbreak spreading around the country.

Or, you know, looking the other way whilst someone commits the occasional alleged war crime.

It's a nice wide category they can use. There is no one big list of reasons visas can be approved. These guys would have been on subclass 408 visas, which have a specific category for television performers. For travel exemptions there isn't really an economic benefit category but there also aren't any actual laws for how travel exemptions are approved, it's absolutely entirely discretion. There's a "critical skills" category that is meant to be for "supply of essential services" but I suspect that if a state government supports your entry and tells the federal government they'll organise quarantine above and beyond the usual caps then you'll get your travel exemption no matter what you're doing.

Individual exemptions The Commissioner of the Australian Border Force and decision makers may grant you an individual exemption if you are:
