Wasn't there an article recently about how out of 1500 people who actually applied through the "correct" channels only about 30 have been accepted?

The answer is the borders are closed unless you're coming from white countries.

You can point to women who were successful in business in that era too. Cherry picking examples of successful women doesn't change the fact that most women who worked with computers, like most women who worked at all, were generally given low responsibility roles.

Just because they were only given low responsibility doesn't mean that's all they could handle. Surely you can understand that.

So some young Liberal MP was on Hack (on Triple J) this afternoon. Tom asked him what to look forward to at the budget and he said something like

"Government has to live within it's means and we have to cut tax for business to stimulate jobs"

It's going to be a corker.

Isn't the best thing about Uber being able to order and pay for onew with your phone and you know how much it is up front? Also the GPS data so you know when they'll be there to pick you up? If taxi companies just got on board with that I don't see how Uber is any better really?

disclaimer: I take one taxi every few years at best

That would be great but surely they can only give you an estimate?

Taxis tariffs tick up based on time, so if you get a particularly nasty red light it'll cost more than if you coasted through.

because you're not everyone, and some people are real shitheels

so what makes a difference to shitheels whether they're in a toilet or out of it? How is having separate gender toilets now stopping someone from being a shitheel?

Why not have adult and child bathrooms instead. Separation based on age rather than gender.

If there needed to be seperation I think that would be a better basis than gender. Obviously you'd still need parents in there in a lot of cases though.

60minutes-chat: A lot of people I've spoken to about this have reacted from mild disinterest to "isn't the father the REAL kidnapper?". I can only imagine the reaction if a Lebanese news crew funded a child kidnapping in Australia, it wouldn't take long for it to be labelled terrorism. Do we know much about the background to this case? Did the mother ever try and get custody legally before hiring international child abductors?

Yes, the history is quite well known as far as I can tell - but nobody is interested in knowing it, they just want to put their opinion in the comments.
