Why is Twiggy Forrest's idiotic plan to put all welfare recipients on income management getting so much press? Is this Liberal strategy? Publicize something horrible so their own policy looks mild in comparison?

Everywhere in Asia supports both paper tickets and e-tickets, and it's good for everybody. Why do Melbourne and Sydney push so hard to get rid of paper tickets? It's simply unfair and inconvenient for visitors.

It's already a huge pain in the rear end to buy a bus ticket in Sydney. You have to find a random convenience store, half of which do not sell them. Every other country I've visited there are obvious ticket stalls/machines.

Pretty funny Chris Berg piece on the drum, urging Abbott to "reset" the budget because everyone hates it. This despite the fact that the IPA might as well have written the budget.

You drop them all over the place like Cartoon turds in a haphazardly arranged grid. Piss off.

This is a kind of boring article but this little tidbit is fun quote:Fairfax Media has learned that Communications Minister Malcolm Turnbull complained to his ministerial colleagues that the decision taken by the national security committee on metadata was leaked to the media before it was taken to cabinet. http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/fed...0807-3d9gd.html This government is in total shambles. Way worse than the Gillard government ever was.

There's a good chance they'll force ISPs to perform mitm monitoring, meaning that they still get all that data but web security's chain of trust is completely broken and banks flip the gently caress out. How would mitm monitoring work if traffic is encrypted with private ciphers?

Preemptive defensiveness. You are very secure in your absolutely excellent opinions.

Ouch. http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-news/frances-abbotts-teacher-says-she-didnt-deserve-scholarship-20140808-102329.html quote:Frances Abbott's teacher says she didn't deserve scholarship Although reading the actual news copy beyond the headline it's pretty clear it's exaggerated, but still. quote:He questioned whether Mr Abbott’s daughter was worthy of a merit scholarship, saying while she was a hard-working “high achiever” who got a distinction for portfolio design, “there were a lot more people more deserving [of a scholarship]”.

But still, it must hurt to be Frances Abbott now. Everyone in Australia is leafing through her undergraduate work and calling it poo poo.
