This is a funny definition of 'no warning' too, given that things started with a very public report and we are now literally at the stage of 'the premier is putting a stop to this but hasn't dropped the hammer yet'. I'd call that plenty of warning!

Redcordial posted:I was thinking about that last night, while trying to fall asleep ahead of a 6am start, no less... I agree on the end result of your reasoning, but not the working out to get there. I think your average Australian has more negative opinions about indigenous Australians, while they tend to be more ambivalent about asylum seekers.

Cartoon posted:Also Suicide Squad or Fury Road? How is this even a loving question? I'm seriously asking, this can't be a case of base 'which movie is better' because we're talking about Fury Road versus Suicide Squad. We have to be talking about some other factor.

Ten Becquerels posted:Turns out Labor cares a little bit about the Nauru files, and they're pushing for a senate inquiry alongside the Greens. Presumably they've figured out that some people do care that we're breaking all kinds of international law and want to be seen to be on the right side of history. They need 4 more senators on board though, I have only a vague idea of what the peanut gallery's views on offshore processing are but I guess Nick Xenophon's mob would go along with it, but that still leaves one more person to push for it. Can we count on the JUSTICE PARTY for this one? I feel like if they really want to spread their wings this is a good one for them to get on board with.

Bet you'll think twice about supporting them now we did that to you?". If it was to demonstrate that they are clueless and incapable of understanding the world they live in then, yeah, good job but other wise ....... I don't know, what? It feels like an attempt at a Chaser stunt by people who horribly, grossly misunderstand the Chaser.

I can't even fathom how a war with China would impact things now, in a world of multinational companies and massive amounts of private and civilian international interactions. I mean, beyond 'it'd be bad'. The specifics are just not something I can wrap my head around.

At Home with Julia was at its best when it was bouncing caricatures of politicians off each other and/or mundane events. The first episode was the peak because it was just that: really good parodies of Katter, Oakeshott and Windsor, at a dinner. I'd say it was a shame that the show didn't really do anything with any Liberal MPs, but for unfathomable reasons to me nobody in Australian television has even managed to cobble together a decent Tony Abbott character. Abbott basically does most of the work for you, and still nobody was able to do a half-decent character beyond half-assing his voice and maybe a combover.

Konomex posted:Just imagine a company that used its resources to actually help people into work as opposed to trying to maximise profits from struggling people. Just want to see how feasible it might be. The answer is 'not', by the way. The way JSAs make money is by either having someone get a job quickly, or by constantly 'supporting' someone classed as long-term unemployed without spending the money you'd need to actually help them. Giving everyone the support they need is just straight-up not feasible in the JSA system, it would cost more than you'd get in return. Intentional malice, or just bad accounting? Who knows with this stuff?

SynthOrange posted:So let me get this right: I read that, presuming conscience votes, this is the first parliament where SSM has majority support (not by as much as the public supports it, but enough to pass with some wiggle room). Now, whether anybody in there can and/or will put it to a conscience vote is another question, but the point is if one were held not even Bernardi, Christensen and Hansen would be able to halt it. We're better off not getting the plebiscite for other and obvious reasons, but that trigger is what I'm gonna mourn. Nobody who can easily pull that is willing to, at least the plebiscite would've scared up some action.

Gotta loving love that we live in a country where there's more political push to repeal an amendment that a total of one person has ever been found guilty of than passing something that has widespread support that affects an unmeasurable yet considerable proportion of the population.

DNQ posted:Lambie laying down sick burns to Bernadi eh.. Hate to admit it but I dislike Lambie less and less as time goes on. But that's probably less a reflection of her and more because she seems relatively harmless compared to One Nation. She's that ineffectual but constant gag-antagonist in that teams up with the good guys whenever a greater foe appears. She probably wouldn't like or understand me comparing her to Team Rocket or early-00s Dr. Eggman, but I'm rolling with it and mean it in a totally positive way.
