Who cares? The Democrats may be pointless but at least they're harmless. It's not like he's a member of the ALP.

Shouldn't the AFL and the NRL be handling all that stuff internally anyway? I never really understood why we're paying for ASADA to regulate sports that have plenty of their own money.

So we're not only paying for the regulation, we're paying for the privilege of regulating them?

I was supposed to get the NBN in 2016 under the old plan. The new, faster, cheaper, plan doesn't even bother to estimate the year it might be installed in my street.

I'd imagine it's because it excludes handsets. http://www.abs.gov.au/AUSSTATS/abs@...2014&num=&view=

CrazyTolradi posted:"The volume of data downloaded via mobile handsets for the three months ended 31 December 2014 was 52,745 Terabytes, a 36% increase from the three months ended 30 June 2014. This represents 4% of total data downloaded." It was in response to the counter intuitiveness of the data volume for wireless devices dropping. It's dropping for non-handset wireless devices.

The outrage is a bit rich when it's coming from the government. If they didn't know that this kind of thing happens in the racing industry then it's because they were willfully ignorant.

Sulla-Marius 88 posted:The true competition in sport lies in training regimens, political maneuvering and finance, steroids and dietary management. Given this, we should stop kidding ourselves and just build robots to replace the current inferior human substitutes. That way we can stop acting like sport has anything to do with the players or human competition and acknowledge its true roots in entertainment and corporatism. Tens of thousands of human lives will be spared from the sinister manipulations of greedy enterprise and with a proper focus on artificial intelligence and engineering maybe sports as an industry can actually serve some goddamn use for once instead of retaining all its medical research for the cutting edge of an unethical and inaccessible black market This was a plot line in one of the Red Dwarf novels, except with genetic engineering instead of robots.

Does discrimination law apply to people working on Manus? I suppose people who work in a concentration camp probably don't take their religion too seriously anyway.

As much as I feel it's a bit inconsistent for a supposedly secular society to have legislated religious holidays, I shudder to think what they would be replaced with. We'd end up celebrating Arthur Calwell's birthday or something.

It's just idiot small business owners being sold a grievance and exploited by big businesses that are smart enough not to damage their own reputation. While I don't think the banks are singularly behind it it'll be them, healthcare companies, cleaning companies, aged care providers, larger retail operators, etc that will benefit from it. Cafes and pubs and other small businesses are going to struggle just as much as they do now without penalty rates.

hiddenmovement posted:Can't the reason that most restaurants and pubs struggle be put down to the overwhelming competition (or in the case of suburban pubs, excessively restrictive liquor liscencing laws)? It seems super idiotic to me to blame high wages when you've opted to enter a massively oversaturated industry with high start up costs. I don't know about other cities but in Canberra high rents are a problem. A few years ago I was wondering what it would take to open a small pub (not that I had any real intention of actually going through with it), and the rents would have meant $10 beers or a shitload more customers than I'd like. No wonder they all rely on pokies.

Good to see the ice problem is about to be over.

I'm just amazed that they expect people to take them seriously. If an ice taskforce (taskfarce?) is going to solve the ice problem then why did they wait 15 years after ice started to get popular to set it up? Why haven't taskforces been set up to solve other drug problems? Even if it was actually going to work the way they say it will it would still make them look bad.
