WhiskeyWhiskers posted:He'll get even less coverage than Roberts, because he's not insane, just a massive fuckwit. Well he'll keep getting headlines for talking about bestiality and banning burkas and so on. Unless he also has friends at a TV show I don't see him approaching One Nation levels of coverage unless he starts getting some other high profile (former or current) politicians on board.

Is Bernardi actually the man of integrity this paints him as? It fits with his stated reason for leaving but I really have trouble believing anyone calling homosexuality a slippery slope into bestiality is doing anything other than pandering. Have I got it wrong and this guy actually believes in democracy and is just a tosser about some issues?http://www.smh.com.au/federal-politics/political-opinion/inside-story-how-a-conversation-with-tony-abbott-sealed-cory-bernardis-liberal-party-exit-20170205-gu6600.html posted:Bernardi first sensed a problem in 2009, when during a heated and divisive partyroom debate on whether the Coalition should support Kevin Rudd's emissions trading scheme, one of his colleagues, the now deceased West Australian MP Don Randall, rose to his feet and said: "I don't give a stuff about the national interest, I want to get re-elected and this needs to go away."

Anidav posted:Who was it even for? Question time is just for Journalists to laugh at, right? Yeah he looks like a loving tosser calling out "the politics of envy" while cutting welfare and lining up corporate tax cuts. It's not for people who are paying attention, it's just more "both sides are bad" garbage and news corpse of course praising his performance and who gives a gently caress about the actual policy that was being argued about. Oh he's so alive and fiery pointing out Shorten's ties to big business, which are bad, unlike his own, which are obviously good because he is rich. edit: ^ - Paul Keating says it better than I could ever hope to edit 2: People are going nuts for strongmen in their 70s who can lob a good burn right now, time for a Keating comeback?

Single parents get $19,201 a year max from the government, and they're not allowed to make more than 188 bucks per fortnight or it gets reduced. This guy gets $30k a year in super alone to account for his post-parlimentary retirement, all for sitting on a bench and voting how he's told. The temerity to complain about losing free business class upgrades. I hope he's savaged. Edit: Unemployed people aged 22-24 will lose out on almost $100 a fortnight despite homelessness being at an all time high and public housing (in Victoria) having a 35,000 person wait list. Surely this will somehow be good for the economy. Cirofren fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Feb 9, 2017 |

Recoome posted:Honestly it's amazing that the ~right wing party~ are also splitting on ultranationalist lines, although I don't feel like it's attracting the same amount of negative press that the "left renewal" thing did No where near. It's being reported fairly calmly while left renewal, a small group that no one defected to, was something that the Green's had to come out and condemn. A rare time when the media was very happy to report on what the Greens were saying. "Let's oppress and low key encourage violence against some Australians if we don't like the colour of they skin. Because of security reasons even though it will likely make us less safe as we create more enemies." Gets mainstream press, government works with them, sitting Lib and ex-Libs join up. "Capitalism is a violent system that fucks up a lot of people. We should end it" A ridiculous notion that has no place in our democracy!

Australia: We waste more money on pokies per person than most people waste on every type of gambling put together. Couldn't stop advertising it though. That would be against free speech or the free market or something. (Other Adult industries, such as brothels, have extreme restrictions on advertising and location. Crown has a legal monopoly on table games, yet pokies are licensed all over.)

Taxi blockade in Melbourne today causing a little disruption. Uber really highlights that if you're worth enough money "free market" governments will just ignore or legislate your crimes unless you're directly selling drugs or killing people.

Really enjoying this trend of ON nominating increasingly unstable candidates. Malcom Roberts believing Al Gore shilled Global Warming to make money is funny but this Norwegian Gay Mind Control and the guy who couldn't be bothered to clear his facebook of all his SWEATY MULATTO BUTTS and MEDIEVAL CUCK FANTASY likes are really raising the bar in a post-satire One Nation.

A section of our contract explains that overtime is necessary in this industry and that any work that must be done outside of hours to meet project deadlines has already been "factored in" to remuneration. This same clause exists for admin workers that have to enter data to meet deadlines, sales people who have to talk to clients at all hours, project staff actually producing the things we sell, and the techs that support parts of the business in six different and varied timezones. While all above minimum award none of these salaries are outside of what you'd consider "market rates" for these professions. I just assume most other corporates have similar understandings, codified or not.

Anidav posted:Shorten is gonna hit a landslide stride now and literally nothing can stop it. Turnbull is always looking like the out of touch old man the opposition portrays him as. He has lost the media war to Bill loving Shorten At a time where it's just about meaningless. Shorten has two and a half years in which to squander Labor's position and he's not even preferred PM.

It was p. weird having the guy who was supposed to keep the others in line constantly acting out and building his own brand at the expense of the party. A good move for the LIbs, but could it add to the Federal destabilisation?

Just wait for the new budget. Cuts to medicare and welfare to ensure all poors get the gift of sweet release from this planet in as expedient a manner as is affordable. The gift of not having to live to see your children's prospects filled by drones and algorithms.
