Off-topic but how did the internet discover the phrase 'pearl clutchers'? Six months ago it's no-where to be seen and now it's everywhere.

A slate article from 2012 says it was already a cliche in feminist circles at that time. :shrug:

http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2012/01/pearl_clutching_how_the_phrase_became_a_feminist_blog_clich_.html

Pretty sure its recent popularity has actually come from MRAs though.

Serioustalk, keep in mind this is the age group of people most likely to be engaged by social media campaigns which the Greens and, to a lesser degree, Labor do far better than the LNP.

Minimum income proposals aren't inherently left or right wing.

Yeah, but the right's far more likely to hold the view that the pain of being in poverty is the only thing that motivates scroungers and that basic income would see plummeting productivity as bludgers sit on the couch collecting cheques.

I think it's an awful lot of words to say "your genitals are the be and all end-all of gender and loving get over it and stop letting the conservatives link it with marxism because I'm a marxist and it's making me look bad"

So what happens if doctors don't follow this deal and instead keep children from being returned to detention? Surely the association can't override a doctor's ruling of the need to provide duty of care? The libs could hardly go back on the deal, that would be an image nightmare.

It's a terrible idea for Malcolm because no one cares about Sky News, but other media outlets are probably going to run stories on how much of a loser he is for not showing up.

They're also too identifiable to be able to do much with their stunts. They were good in the Howard era not just because Howard and his time gave them a lot to play with, but also because they were still targets small enough that they didn't have their faces plastered on blacklists. They were able to fly under the radar enough to make a spectacle right in the face of someone important.

Yeah this was actually on show in that episode. One of the women was able to give Plibersek and Shorten a rat, while Craig got told to gently caress off by security at the Turnbull thing.

Periphery posted:

The requirement to have paid staff on scene before work is allowed to commence has some serious implications for the CFA, the CFA volunteers and the safety and success of operations. It also has to have some fairly significant funding impacts as well. Who is forking out the cash for the changes?

Apparently the EBA also includes a requirement that every CFA unit gets road crash rescue certified. This has some people in the SES worried that it's part of a play to take that role from the SES - currently the biggest provider of RCR in the state and also a volunteer organisation. While I question the fact that such a vital thing as cutting people out of cars is largely in the hands of volunteers, I think there could be some real issues with transferring that highly skilled role to another volunteer organisation with not nearly as much experience in that area. In the interest of full disclosure: I'm a SES volunteer.

I thought the paid staff requirement was only for stations with both volunteers and paid staff. It really doesn't seem that drastic. Maybe I'm wrong though?

What's the theory here? If your vote is exhausted before it reaches the right-wingers then doesn't it mean that the non-right wingers have lost anyway and been eliminated? In that case, wouldn't you want your vote to go to the least horrible right-winger?

I could be wrong, but isn't this all sorts of hosed because of quotas, your first preferences might get well above their quotas and have that run off to your second preferences and so on? So in the end if everyone you want gets above their quota your vote could be directed to someone you don't want.

I suppose you're still right that it might be better even then to direct your preference to the least objectionable, but I'd still be exhausting it before I got near the neo-nazis.

Factually incorrect, but this isn't the place for the debate. TFR would be happy to enlighten you.

Note an "Assault Weapon" (political term for scary black rifle) is different from an "Assault Rifle" (a specific technical term)

Except you're also incorrect. It was illegal in America between 1994 and 2004 to purchase AR-15s manufactured between those years. You could purchase earlier models, or AR-15s made without certain attachments though.

"Automatic Rifle" has a specific meaning - part of that meaning is it has a mode where if you hold the trigger down and it goes BANG BANG BANG. Automatic Rifles have not been used in US Civilian spree shootings in decades. Demanding bans on them is pointless as they're already heavily restricted and have vanishingly small levels of violent crime.

Doesn't this sort of contradict your earlier argument that weapons bans just couldn't work in the US and that it would take a huge amount of resources in order to be barely effectual?

Guys, I just had a thought today.

What if the Brexit causes a recession in Britain, which leads to significant ASX losses which leads to Labor wins?

I know it's a long shot but man, I can imagine the guy who thought "yeah let's have an election after the UK referendum" to get his rear end beat.

There have already been massive ASX losses. Down 2.1 percent today, because of a poll showing leave was ahead 5 points. The EU said they'd punish Britain if they left and the US looks like they're about to change their interest rates. I think you're probably spot-on.
