Yeah I had a look for it afterwards, I guess my point is it's not being splashed out there and the majority of voters probably will never hear about it.

Cartoon posted:When I saw the SMH today I was initially happy that finally we might step back from BOATS! but I quickly realised this was just going to increase the racist poo poo fighting. A noted twelve year high due to unprecedented growth in the 15-19yo demographic. Apparently more teens are registering as actively looking for work because of anxiety around proposed changes to newstart!

You Am I posted:Victorian Liberals are loving over their Coalition mates the Nationals by fielding a candidate for the safe Nats seat of Euroa. This happens at least once every state and federal election. They are every so slightly being squeezed and they sit there and take it.

Gough Suppressant posted:In all seriousness though, the nats are probably worried that if they split from the coalition, it might mean people examine who they are voting for for the first time, and upon doing so realise that the nationals have not done poo poo for farmers in 50 years. They could just split and say "we've been led astray by the libs, you can trust us to look after rural Australia!" and people will still vote for them because the alternatives ate ~worse~.

Cartoon posted:OK AusPolers, in researching our Russian Trade debarcle I came across something that is fascinating. Now the embargo is only on 'produce' but our trade with Russia is almost entirely (Imports to Australia) Crude Oil ~ 1 Billion per annum. Confidential Commodities can be such exciting things as: quote:034.28 Other frozen fish (specifically tooth fish) A,B from Oct 2003 http://www.dfat.gov.au/publications/stats-pubs/confidentiality-in-australian-merchandise-export-statistics.pdf

Like there seems to be really odd reasons to be on that list. eg. source country is suppressed for macadamia nuts. Why? Why does that matter? LPG apparently is always suppressed for individual country statistics and only overall world trade is shown.

Tirade posted:Thanks for pointing that out, I kinda skimmed over it. I'm absolutely fascinated / horrified by what you can do with large data sets. It's got similar ramifications for electioneering. Our only saving grace is that it will be the left that capitalizes on it before the right. Soon: Coles health insurance. Premiums go up for every kilo of chocolate you buy in a year. What's that? You bought wine for your pasta sauce? Sure..... $$$$

Endman posted:There's something poetic about Hockey's comments, the budget and a photo of his car parked in a handicap space. But really it would be dumb and pointless to make it into a "thing". I was specifically referring to the fact that internet warriors are arguing over whether it's Hockeys or the drivers fault. Altogether the package is slightly amusing. Drawing each individual part of it out to scrutinize and debate isn't. edit: Doctor Spaceman posted:The guy probably doesn't earn much, and hence isn't used to driving.
