ABC rolling results: Legislative Council: http://www.abc.net.au/news/vic-election-2014/results/legislative-council/ Lower House: http://www.abc.net.au/news/vic-election-2014/results/ Legislative Council looks like ALP having to figure a face-saving way to woo the Greens not to mention a bunch of micro-parties. But I know their results in the lower house depended on good Greens prefs also, so some pressure can be applied. The lower house probably won't get finished for a few days and the LC will take longer.

THE APARTHEID JUSTICE OF THE KOORI COURTS Jesus christ, Bolt. (Not that this is especially egregious by his standards, but since I usually avoid Bolt's poisonous nonsense, if I happen to read some, the awfulness of it can still hit me for six.)

Interestingly the bottom left picture is actually from 2004 for the second reading of a bill to triple the cost of tuition fees for universities in the UK and according to that article the bottom right is actually from the years first sitting after the 2010 election Honestly though QT is a complete joke here in Australia and doubly so in the HOR with Bronwyn Bishop and any absent parliamentarian is likely being far more productive doing literally anything else at this stage

Tirade posted:What's the latest on the Greens result in Vicpol? ABC has them ahead in Melbourne but are still predicting zero Greens seats in their overview? Mark my loving words. This isn't done yet. There is so much dust still left to settle in the lower house, to say nothing of the upper house. I've been amazed at how the media has called all sort of really close seats like Melbourne. Also, East West Link? Dead under Andrews? Believe it when you see it. We're not there yet.

Is the term "JOY-BOY" filtered? I think you are inadvertently denying people a right which is 100% theirs; sexual identity. Is your comfort more important than Australians inalienable rights? (As a queer myself)

Some highlights from the Lewis Report: Centralising operations in Sydney: quote:the ABC could abolish State and Territory Directors and absorb their functions within other positions in ABC management. The ABC could achieve modest efficiencies if it centralised its switchboard operations to Sydney and (for evening operations) Perth. On classic FM being cut: quote:It is understood that the ABC is considering a reduction in the number of live recordings on Classic Some of the working behind this stuff is totally hilarious/nuts. As an example, they take the budget of the SBS (~294m) and number of finance FTE positions (24.2) and compare it to the ABC (~923m) and 80.1m, and discover that if the ABC had the same rate of finance/FTE as the SBS, they'd need 4 fewer less FTEs. Hence, one saving is to make 4 FTEs redundant. Anybody with a modicum of intelligence would realise that some organisations have different levels of budgetary difficulty than others and budget management is not a linear scale, but apparently this is not considered. This same idea has been applied to virtually every department - ie. IT services, which the ABC (according to that metric) has 41 FTEs too many. This, of course, completely ignores that the ABC operate their own datacenters and IT infrastructure above and beyond SBS that require maintenance and operational staff. Pretty much every item that was on that list leaked a few days ago was made based on this set of assumptions, meaning that virtually all the numbers are totally meaningless. It is, therefore, entirely understandable why Scott made the decisions that he did.

They'll have a cry about that later when we stop doing it or maybe sooner if we won't play their game in the LC.

Tony Abbott posted:“I accept what we are doing with the ABC is at odds with what I said immediately prior to the election but things have moved on, circumstances are different. Going into that election, the then government was telling us the deficit for that year would be $18bn, it turned out to be $48 billion. I think sensible governments are not only entitled but, indeed, expected to change when the circumstances change.” He's also backed down on defence force allowance changes.

Choice quotes from Tony Abbott today.quote:In what amounted to an admission of jitters within government ranks and a pep talk for the Coalition’s fresh start next year, Mr Abbott: So a complete reversal of everything he said while Gillard was in power, and his big hope now is to replicate an election where the Coalition actually lost the popular vote.
