Hundreds of hot pink shorts, pink T-shirts and pink overalls designed to humiliate and shame convicted bikies in Queensland prisons will be sold for charity.

The stash of leftover pink attire was recently discovered at a storehouse in the Brisbane Women's Correctional Centre.

These outfits were created using the labour of the female prisoners.

Yeah, I thought one of the major reasons for wanting marriage equality was for the legal protections it would provide

I was referring to his bizarre claim about why we have separation of church and state. His arguments about marriage are dumb and boring and not really worth engaging with again, they've been shot full of holes at this point.

In non-Australian but probably relevant news:

[url=http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/may/31/nsa-reform-senate-deal-as-patriot-act posted:

NSA programme: Bush-era powers expire as US prepares to roll back surveillance - The guardian]
Sweeping US surveillance powers, enjoyed by the National Security Agency since the aftermath of the 2001 terrorist attacks, shut down at midnight after a dramatic Senate showdown in which even the NSA’s biggest supporters conceded that substantial reforms were inevitable.

Almost two years after the whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed to the Guardian that the Patriot Act was secretly being used to justify the collection of phone records from millions of Americans, critics of bulk surveillance went further than expected and forced the end of a range of other legal authorities covered by the Bush-era Patriot Act as well.

This is a pretty big deal, and it does look like it is going certainly going to lead to non-trivial reductions in NSA surveillance powers. Hopefully this will lead to an actually discussion on our own lovely surveillance laws... but probably not.

More likely the greens will bring it up in question time, Abbott will say something stupid, everyone will laugh/cringe, and it will be forgotten about in a few days time.

We don't really have mountains though, at best it's really hills. If you're referring to water surrounding us if that was a deterrent then there would be less people needing to get married.

Also, if your husband dies without you giving him a child then you shouldn't be able to make fun of if there is no arts degrees amirite.

ewe2 posted:

I have trouble with Tingle's position that this is to keep some on a lifeline for longer, which is why most commentators are asking how is this going to go from there to thousands of employees, then you're wasting money.

Most of small business never goes to medium-size, most of them fail, so the only result of this is a game of chicken; I'm with Cartoon on this. The ALP aren't a serious opposition, they're appeasers. Both majors are free to be told what to think, and tries to slow down the rate of the batts. What value is buying a bunch of hardware that will have to be told what to think, and tries to slow down the rate of the river next to us and too scared to join it so we're punishing ourselves with ever more repressive and aggressive forms of xenophobia. I'm for the ALP to even start talking about the TPP and TISA is not even the comfort of demonstrated evidence that the reason it's a candidate-killer but why be honest about that when you can paint the Greens as loonies and deflect attention away from your own cowardice on the Internets!! IT MUST BE TRUE!!!

Seven News also ran a story on the protests and counter protests in Richmond yesterday, that described the pro-facism fuckwits as "promoting Australian culture and ideals", took a full soundbite from someone banging on about political correctness gone mad, and then displayed one of the guys marching proudly in a swastika shirt.

I'm wondering who is running the news department, because they're letting some real poo poo through.

The Australian Democrats are were a pro-capitalist, right-wing, socially-conservative party consisting of forums poster and whisper enthusiast ScreamingLlama. Led Formerly led by forums poster ScreamingLlama they believe believed in fabricating a list of 550 members to prevent their imminent deregistration as an official political party. Sadly like everything else the Democrats believed in, they were unable to follow through on the rhetoric and earlier in the year were disbanded as an official political party. But let us not mourn their passing, instead let us bow our heads and give thanks for the legacy they have left us.
