Recoome posted:holy poo poo it's "Downie Street" Awesome. So when your washing machine vibrates it's way through your glass shower wall during a spin cycle you can leap away from the breaking shards to break your knees on your sink then catch your face on the seat of your toilet during the fall. Basically one of those impossible machine games only it's your bathroom. That is a smart design. I wonder how the washing machine electrics will hold up to being exposed to shower steam daily.

I'm all for welfare bludging former parliamentarians to be stripped of benefits and citizenship. Also "guest speaker", "undefined consultant" and "industry spokesperson" are no longer valid jobs in DancingShade's Utopian Australia and will count as "unemployed expel immediately".

Ten Becquerels posted:'About as reasonable a process as you could possibly derive' - the Centrelink debt recovery 'process', according to Christian Porter who has adopted the Government Approved Strategy of stating the opposite of reality and banking on the fact that most people won't care enough to notice. Reasonable to people who have never and will never be subject to the system because of well-to-do backgrounds and a FYGM attitude. i.e. it's reasonable that you polish my luxury BMW for slave wages while I eat caviar and drink $200 bottles of wine. What you don't find that reasonable? *cuts benefits*

Kommando posted:which is why this happened In his day Morisson would have been terrifying on the parade ground. loving terrifying. Anyway this is a good example of what happens with institutional rot: http://www.news.com.au/national/ten-face-action-over-sea-king/news-story/b4af91be64465fe4558a50fb77ad1843 I realise the article is highly nonspecific in details but tracking down a copy of the actual official report is non trivial so I leave that up to anyone interested. It's a very informative read though because of how it outlines all the ways an institution with good policies & procedures can fail because of unofficially accepted bad practice. The fact it took a number of actual loving deaths to get anyone to address it is the problem. That's what it takes for people to officially acknowledge serious problems in order to address them - multiple deaths.

Yeah my last impulse buy was a pair of $180 headphones off amazon (DT990s, they're good) and either she's got so much silver up her arse that 800k is literally lunch money or she's a bare faced liar. I'm thinking it's mostly the latter because if $800k was lunch money you'd send an agent to make such a purchase,

Sorry Culleton, that's not an Admiralty Parliament so they can't overturn the High Court. You need to write to the skipper of a Japanese whaler to invoke their freedom from international whale law that refracts back to the UN then through to Australia top-down to overrule on your bankruptcy. Did I do that right?

Believe nothing you hear and only half you see  Also realise there are like a hundred state actors on all sides before any "information" reaches you on the topic. You're never going to get a definitive answer so focus on the important things like coffee machines and impulse buying investment properties during your lunch break.

If people forget about [politicians]'s blatant corruption within less than a week even after it reaches nationwide news then I assure you nobody is going to remotely remember anything wikileaks says ever other than "something about emails". At best. That's their legacy now. Something something emails. Maybe. Nobody will be able to tell you anything about what they said or tweeted. Case in point, that was retweeted a whopping 100-ish times which is almost the same depth of penetration as Monday morning office gossip about what everyone did over the weekend.

That's all a dog and pony show. The LNP would very much like such an issue in the media to distract from their rorting, corruption and undermining of federal law but it won't because wider Australia is wholly unaffected. Insofar as people still pay attention to legacy media that is. You know their own backers do.

You have my sympathy for being an innocent person caught in a system specifically designed to be as hostile as possible to the people who need it most because of malicious intent and (let's just call it what it is) theft of public money by rent seeking "job search provider" leeches that provide no benefits to society.
