freebooter posted:And I don't like all the stuff where people go on about how the Aboriginals "lived in perfect harmony with nature" etc. It's close to noble savage stuff. Didn't they wipe out all the megafauna? Humans are humans, we shouldn't be idealising any sort of society. I think there is a difference between acknowledging that their civilization lived for 40,000 or 50,000 odd years without completely loving up their environment, and idolizing the noble savage.

Victoria is unhappy about not getting a big enough increase. WA has been complaining long and hard for years now, and that doesnt look like its going to stop any time soon. Tassie and the NT are getting less money because they arent growing as fast because they have less money because the arent growing as fast. I think this is turing into a clusterfuck.

Mr Chips posted:And here I was thinking the criticism of the FTTN project was it's going to cost the Commonwealth almost as much as FTTP, while being slower, having more limited growth potential, having higher operating costs, higher end-user setup costs, and less revenue per user. FYI this is a stupid criticism, because over a long enough period of time, the NBN will make the government money. 20 odd million subscribers all paying $30 a month adds up.

Or because we had a good discussion on worker solidarity. I know people who have been sexually abused by taxi drivers.

LibertyCat posted:What, exactly, is wrong with riding on the footpath where possible? You're way safer and won't hold up traffic. I'd take a collision between a pedestrian and a bike vs a bike and a truck any day. Because if you are trying to ride with any sort of speed, footpaths are complete rubbish for that. You have to deal with cars at intersections anyway, plus pedestrians and all manner of slow moving users. Half the time the footpath is simply not suitable for more than 1 person wide, either walking or riding, and then you get cases like I had to deal with tonight, where a nice footpath simply stopped. There was no marked way to cross over to the other side, there was no indication it was going to stop, it just did. Or, cyclists who chose to could use the nice wide flat bit of road that is designed for going fast on. All it would take is other drivers to stop being fuckwits, but its Australia, and its full of shitstains like yourself.

LibertyCat posted:Ignoring the unprovoked ad hominem, how so? Admittedly I've never had to do unskilled work so my experience is limited, but I'm sure there will always be a need for people to sweep the floors etc. Please enlighten me. It was plenty provoked. Some of these jobs that you assume are always available have more than 50 applicants. When I worked retail we would get anywhere up to 5 people per week come in and ask for a job when we specifically weren't hiring. There are simply not enough jobs to go round. Our choice of economic model relies on this fact. We choose to have unemployed people. Your genius idea of just moving is always idiotic. You are saying that someone should give up their accommodation and support network in order to complete uproot their life in the hope they might get a job somewhere else. This costs money. What if they can't find a job? Do they just keep moving? What about finding accommodation each time? What if they have kids? Keep up rooting them as well? What if they have gone through all their savings and are relying on friends and family to keep eating? Should they move to an area where they know no-one and hope? If you had thought about this for more than a millisecond, you would realise how stupid it was, but unfortunately you applied the same rigour you apply to your political ideology.
