Yeah, he's made all his money off suburban sprawl, he's hardly going to criticise it now.

« Debate & Discussion: We tortured some folks › Auspol August: Half-baked enraged drivel

Sounds about right. Just read the article about how officials were told in 2012 to pick out the youngest looking detainees to send to Manus and gently caress everything.

It should not be illegal to offend someone. There is a human right to free speech. There is no human right to be free of offence ...

So for sake of consistency, people should also be allowed to yell swear words at people in public, and there shouldn't be any laws against public nudity?

Was also reading today on exactly how terrible Mandela and the ANC were at economics, and how in a few short years they managed to make economic inequality significantly worse than it was under apartheid

It's almost as if a significant chunk of the population had been denied equal access to education and career opportunities.

With no vodka for cruisers, millions of teenage girls (and Endman) will have no choice but to switch to goon.

Maybe it was the goon manufacturers that shot down MH17... :tinfoil:

Interesting fact, after the Berlin Wall came down, Smirnoff made a lot of money by selling Vodka to Soviet troops, a market they had previously been entirely cut off from.

Doting seventy year old women is part of the answer.

People voting for a party not a representative is another.

Australia generally and Adelaide specifically, too

I suspect the reason why we produce fuckwits like Pyne and Bernardi is because Adelaide is one of the Federal libs weaker locations. The better Libs get used for marginal seats and aren't likely to last as long as those in safer positions.

FAMILY First senator Bob Day has vowed to lobby all crossbench senators to kill the government’s budget move to kick young people off the dole for six months, saying he is unwilling to negotiate on a compromise deal…

Senator Day says the entire policy must be dumped. “Not only will it not get my vote I am doing my darnedest to persuade all my crossbenchers and anyone else who will listen not to vote for it either,” he said. “I am lobbying on this as hard as I’ve lobbied on anything in my life, actively.”

The department of social services show that 113,000 people a year aged under 30 will be denied the Newstart and Youth Allowance payments for six months.

Was there ever confirmation that they wouldn't be starting the six months wait until after people had eaten their savings?

It's not that she failed to join, she quit after failing at preselection. Then tried the same trick with Labor. Then was successful with Palmer. She's an unprincipled broken clock, basically.

It's fairly amusing really to imagine how almost anyone with a half decent presentation could have probably got forward as a PUP candidate for the federal election had they stepped forward. If we had a time machine could probably get the party stacked with goons in the senate.

We have a Labor government here in South Australia, the state government should just take the money and then use it to hire religious and secular workers. The Feds can't withdraw the money then without looking awful.
