I heard about the WA solarium ban the other day and was gobsmacked. Why the gently caress would anybody anywhere in WA ever need a solarium in the first loving place, it's one of the sunniest places on earth.

There is just no way the majority of the party is going to vote Abbott back in as leader in this term of government. Even if Turnbull got drunk on Anzac Day and took a piss on a war memorial it would be Morrison.

I can't even begin to comprehend how disgusting this is and await the LNP instituting it forthwith. In order to institute this we would actually have to be letting them into the country. Well actually I guess we wouldn't, but confiscating valuables while throwing people in camps is probably too Nazi Germany at this stage. Watch out for it in 2017 after Malcolm's landslide election victory and sweeping mandate!

Graic Gabtar posted:I'm not 100% but could these people be deported back to Greece? You are supposed to seek asylum in the first country you enter I'm pretty sure. This is correct, but you may have noticed that Greece has been having economic issues of its own of late, and Europe is at least nominally involved in a semi-federalist union where states are supposed to help each other out.

Graic Gabtar posted:I've noticed, but are you going to argue that we should squib on the 1951 refugee convention? The clause about seeking asylum in the first country you get to is something clung to by Australian right-wingers who are furious that asylum seekers don't stay put in Pakistan or Indonesia or whatever lovely poverty-stricken hellhole they end up in. If Australia bordered Afghanistan or Sri Lanka and we really were the first country many refugees arrived in, somehow I don't think you'd hear about it so much. It's a legitimate-sounding front (much like "concern for your safety at sea") to mask the base desire; it's not the founding doctrine of the convention. So to return to the current situation: do you really think that it's the best situation for any of the three parties involved, including Germany, for millions of refugees to be permanently settled in Greece? And bear in mind that economic considerations aside, Germany has eight times the population of Greece.

PUA/MRA guys are obviously useless assholes but I can't really say I like the emerging trend of cancelling visas for political reasons.

Re: visa cancelling, it's political to me because they haven't actually committed any crime per se, and it reminds me of students protesting against universities allowing certain speakers; I'd rather see the shithead speaker show up and then have a protest. And this is how it always starts: with somebody we can all agree about. Not a single reasonable person would argue that a PUA/MRA dude has worthwhile opinions. It starts with the people who are widely despised, and then it inches its way along and soon you'll see Dutton cancelling the visas of, for example, somebody who works for Save the Children or Amnesty International and has dastardly plans to disrupt our border protection policies.

Help me, Auspol: I'm moving to my own place with no housemates and a real lease for the first time like an adult and I've realised I have to hook up all my own utilities. What's Australia's least-bad internet service provider? I got a quote from Telstra for $75 a month for 100 gigs and the iinet website says I can have 1000 gigs for $70, what, that doesn't even begin to make sense, what's going on

Anidav posted:TPG is poo poo and if they get a bigger foothold it means darker days for Australian internet, they're starting to build their own NBN for apartments but once that rolls out they can charge whatever the gently caress they want. Unfortunately moving into my own place means I will now be too poor to make ethical considerations when purchasing goods and services

I'll be in St Kilda so no NBN apparently. Also I'm realising I'm less of a techie nerd than a lot of you because I have no idea what cable or ADSL or line rental or any of that stuff means
