And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Yes, YES. Something will certainly HAPPEN in November.

In other news:
"The evidence before the commission suggests that the focus upon – and resources solely dedicated to – the threat of outlaw motorcycle gangs by the (Queensland Police Service) has meant that other types of organised crime have not been able to be appropriately investigated."

"Other types of criminal gangs were allowed to prosper under the Newman Government."

Unfortunately this just enshrines more years of far right overlords. The Labor party really knows how to gently caress things up in a fundamental way.

Yeah, this might be a good thing to have happen just as 'well finally something's actually been done about it', this is gonna kill electorally. Turnbull's already won the next election based on this alone, and I don't think it's likely that Labor will pull themselves together enough to win the one after that either.

This might be the Greens' time to shine, though. I feel like they have more to gain in terms of straight votes than the Liberals on this. That won't translate into as much actual success, of course, but I can't see the Liberals winning out as much in a leadership scandal given what happened earlier.

Have you heard about First Dog? It's a very good comic I just love.

Also, wear your bike helmets kids. I copped several blows to the head but my helmet left me totally unscathed.



Finally you should check out First Dog as it's a good comic I like it very much.

quote:

One of the last barriers to same sex marriage within the labour movement could be crumbling, as the powerful “Shoppies” union moves to drop its long-held and fierce opposition.

Guardian Australia understands the powerful and socially-conservative Shop, Distributive & Allied Employees’ Association (SDA) has discussed dropping its opposition to marriage equality at both its national executive and national conference in favour of having no stated policy on the issue.

The Victorian, South Australia, Western Australia and Newcastle branches are understood to back the change while the Queensland, New South Wales and Tasmania branches are reluctant to shift.

Sources say that puts the numbers “line ball” while others say those advocating change have “narrowly got the numbers”.

The possible shift at the largest Labor-affiliated union comes after generational change with Joe de Bruyn retiring as national secretary and WA senator Joe Bullock standing aside as WA secretary of the SDA when he entered parliament in 2014.

I think there are powers that be that are separate from Shorten. Especially with today's poll numbers. Dunno if a move will be made but it's a very familiar "build up to..." sort of atmosphere.
