Is everyone keeping up with fairfax's big multi-part writeup on what brought Abbott down? Some revealing stuff in there. quote:oe Hockey sat down with Tony Abbott in the prime minister's office in Parliament House on a Sunday just a few weeks before they lost power. Yeah Joe, this would definitely have survived an election. You complete moron.

Blood in the Water! http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/breakfast/labor-accuses-mal-brough-of-misleading/6992958 quote:Labor accuses Mal Brough of misleading Parliament, calls for him to step down Wednesday 2 December 2015 7:37AM (view full episode) Brough was always a bold promotion and it is really hard to see him escape from this one. Well because he is as aledgedly guilty as gently caress for a start. There was some boffin from some think tank on recently who suggested that the reason there was so much reliance (In the West) on signals intelligence is because the equipment manufacturers (from the military industrial complex) keep putting glossy brochures on the meeting room tables of all of the agencies that spend money on intelligence gathering. While this is undoubtedly a factor the one overarching problem with human intelligence sources (HUMINT as opposed to SIGINT) is they have a long lead in time (and are therefore expensive) but are prone to causing embarrassing moments for who ever is running them. Philby, Mata Hari, Petrov (etc.) The cold hard wires and chips of the SIGINT systems only spill the beans if they are hacked, compromised or inadvertently exposed. Even more troubling when the people who you have been cultivating and funding swap sides or finally show who's side they have been on all along (eg) Bin Laden. Little wonder SIGINT is now ruling the roust.

Early on in the series it mentions that they decided against populism (hah) and opted to go for an agenda of respect. Ie that their measures might be tough but the people would respect them for it. I'm not sure respect is enough when you're struggling to pay rent and bills while feeding the family.

They're also completely deluded. People might be willing to accept that kind of thing if it's building towards something else, like the neo-liberal reforms of the 80s, but this wasn't promising a new world and a new way of living, it was just 'yeah well we've gotta tighten our belts, y'know'.

Yeah, I can't imagine that many people are going to have enough super to completely live on after retirement, especially with an ever increasing life expectancy. It seems pretty obvious to me that the aged pension should be a livable payment for those who would otherwise struggle, seeing as it would be economically very silly to have a huge portion of the population being unable to buy anything. hooman posted:RIP me, I am undone.

Far-right group sells ‘Sydney is fun: Cronulla is a riot’ T-shirts before 10th anniversary rally A far-right group is planning a rally to mark the 10-year anniversary of the Cronulla riots despite heavy resistance from the local council, and is selling T-shirts bearing the slogan “Sydney is fun: Cronulla is a riot”. The Party for Freedom, led by Nick Folkes, has for months been planning a “memorial rally” at Cronulla on 12 December to mark 10 years since the race riots that enveloped the region and sparked a wave of violence across Sydney. But it is facing a number of hurdles after two applications to New South Wales police for permits to hold the event were refused. The Sutherland shire mayor, Carmelo Pesce, told Guardian Australia the council was also considering applying to the supreme court for an injunction to stop the group if it failed to get approval. The group also has yet to apply for a permit from the council to hold the event. The proposed has sparked concerns that it could inflame racial tensions. The group is now touting an all-star cast of Australia’s far right, with four speakers listed on a flyer it has been distributing to local residents’ letter boxes. Sergio Redegalli, who made the Ban the Burka mural in the suburb of Newtown, is listed as a speaker. Redegalli has also made glass plates for the event in the shape of Spartan shields overlaid with southern crosses. “Limited edition” T-shirts designed by Redegalli with the slogan “Sydney is fun: Cronulla is a riot” can also be purchased from the Party for Freedom website for $49.95, available only in sizes large and above. Shermon Burgess, who until recently was the head of the far-right group United Patriots Front before resigning over a video that emerged online mocking him, is also scheduled to speak. Kim Vuga, who was one of the participants in SBS’s show Go Back to Where you Came From and has now started her own political party, is also slated to attend. Pesce said the group had applied to the police for permits first to hold the event at Wanda beach, and then at Cronulla Mall. Both were refused. A third permit at Don Lucas reserve is believed to be pending, but Pesce said he thought it had also been refused. “The third one we haven’t been given approval because council don’t want to come to the party,” Folkes told Guardian Australia. “Like a hot potato, it’s like nobody wants to touch it. It’s hard to get answers from the council and the police.” “Our intention is not to go down there and cause violence. We’ve got a good record dealing with police. We see it as an important time to mark the anniversary to stand up against all Muslim intimidation.” Folkes said the shirts were just a “bit of Aussie larrikinism” to draw attention to the group’s purpose of marking the anniversary. The group has still not applied separately to the council for the necessary permit to hold the event. Instead, the Party for Freedom has sought access to toilets. “They’ve been told they need to put in a permit but they haven’t as yet,” Pesce said. “I’ve come back to my staff and told them they can’t apply for a permit for toilets before they apply for a permit to hold the event.” “That applies for everyone. We’re not targeting that particular group. That’s just the thing they need to do. At this point in time they don’t have permission to use those particular areas. If they still come down we will need to take some sort of action.” “I’m still looking at legal action from the supreme court to stop them coming anyway.” The Party for Freedom posted on its website: “Today we face a battle against a corrupt political oligarchy that wants to restrict freedom of speech, and deny patriotic Australians the right to mark the 10nth Cronulla Riots anniversary in Cronulla. Regardless of the opposition from the political establishment, we will be gathering in Cronulla on 12 December 2015 to celebrate the 10-year anniversary.” “The Sutherland shire council has contacted its legal team seeking an injunction against Party for Freedom in the hope of restricting freedom of speech. We will be going to court to fight the injunction in December.” http://www.theguardian.com/australi...niversary-rally
