I can see where someone might come from with the argument that there are various more effective ways to address domestic violence than criminalisation, but this is hard to separate from "instead of punishing abusers, we need to help victims to not get abused.  "Solemn Sloth posted:Depends how you mean, if you mean why is there such a massive media focus on street violence compared to DV Is this really true though? Historically maybe, but currently nothing gets the media worked into a frenzy more than a lurid family murder case, and I doubt anybody in Australia can name anybody with the vaguest connection to street violence with as high a profile as Rosie Batty.

Given people were watching him do burnouts outside Flinders St station I doubt there would have been any time, unless you clear the streets whenever someone does that in which case nobody ever goes outside.

Lol facebook comments saying the guy should have just been immediately shot when he was driving erratically at flinders st, imagine the carnage that would ensue every day.hiddenmovement posted:I suspect auto bollards are getting installed at bourke st mall sometime very soon Seems difficult when trams have to pass through. I guess they can be raised and lowered but the mall still has to be accessible to large vehicles in a way other public spaces don't.

Stoca Zola posted:I don't have much of an opinion on the taxi industry but my partner works at the local taxi place. A lot of their regular customers are people who need a ramp for their wheelchair etc, can't afford a modified car or are just well beyond being able to drive themselves. The access vehicles are always flat out busy and I'm not sure how well self driving cars will work for people with physical disabilities. How would taxis self driving make a difference to this at all? (disregard this post if the driver plays a significant role in assisting disabled passengers, I assume they don't but I could easily be wrong)

I read the Bill Leak cartoon more like "the acknowledgement to country is meaningless window dressing if you are simultaneously involved in imperialist repression"quote:Suggestions that a more suitable day would be May 27 — recognising the constitutional equality given to indigenous people on that day in 1967 — is absolute rubbish. ... sure, why not? Nobody advocates changing the date of Australia Day to something that absolutely must commemorate Aboriginal history, just that it shouldn't be specifically chosen to be the most offensive day to Aborigines possible.

Not surprisingly Dutton has come out in support of Trump. Is Australia the only country on earth where the government is lovely enough to toady to this? Are there any other examples?

You Am I posted:Do you have a timestamp on the burn? I ain't watching an hour of Shorten. They are pro Trump in a general sense, but as far as I know nobody from either of those countries has commented on the travel ban specifically. (eg http://www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-ministers-maintain-total-silence-on-trumps-refugee-ban/)

WhiskeyWhiskers posted:We might see with France. Next election's between a fascist, a 'centrist' and a Sanders-esque figure. Who are you referring to here? Not even Fillon himself pretends to be a centrist and as an ex investment banker Macron is only Sanders-esque as far as being "the unlikely quasi-independent 3rd guy".
