But in horror story news, Stopping The Boats has taken a hell of a loving turn over in Europe.

(Guardian: "Far-right activists are planning a sea campaign this summer to disrupt vessels saving refugees in the Mediterranean, after successfully intercepting a rescue mission last month.")

It's Whale Wars but even more racist and incompetent!

The quote says "successful intercept" but I'm pretty sure those idiots were arrested after firing a flare at a boat

For future reference the guy at the VEC told me what they look for is a lot of detail in your explanation so if you mention a specific mail box and time of day that you went and posted your vote you'll probably get away with it. Or you could do your duty and vote for your preferred property developer lackey

Hah, I didn't know that. I read the Three Crooked Kings trilogy but I didn't know the specifics of how the inquiry got started. Joh was probably doing some fact finding into his plan to build the world's tallest building in Brisbane.

It was just kind of putting specific names to donors and illustrating the links between them and certain lobby groups and specific politicians, they apparently got this information from some secret ASIO briefing to party leaders a while back. Dastiyari and Andrew Robb didn't look good but we already knew that.

So is this another "crazy person brandishing the flag of terrorism" thing? Like the Lindt cafe siege?
As opposed to the stuff you see in Europe and America where the terrorists are organised and coordinated (but still as crazy).

Correct me if I'm wrong but "Man calls Channel 7 newsroom saying ‘This is for IS’ and ‘This is for Al-Qaeda'" would be like saying "THIS IS FOR COLLINGWOOD AND RICHMOND, LONG MAY THEY REIGN" or some garbage rugby league equivalent.

Bombs or not the dude isn't a random crazy, he's a dude with internet access watching a bunch of bad poo poo and sharing bad opinions with other clowns instead of chilling in the 'yob for a bit until he calmed down.

Luke Fourniotis had parked his truck in a nearby side street and had wandered down to “check it out” a few minutes earlier

I was chatting to one of the cops, just being curious, then all of sudden we just hear all these shots,” the 22-year-old said.

“Everyone just panicked. I started running but I didn’t know where the shots were coming from so I had this thought: ‘Are they shooting at us?’ My heart was in my throat, I nearly dropped my Chico Roll. Yeah, it was scary.”

I mean that's probably what happened, but also maybe not. Bourke Street was just a 'random crazy.' Monis probably was too.

My taxi driver tonight thinks that all the Muslims coming out against the terrorist attacks are secretly condoning them. I said I haven't seen any evidence of support for terrorism from, say, Wallsend Mosque and he said "Oh, no, they wouldn't support it but they might be saying well, you know, 'that's one down', don't you think?"

We're hosed.

Hey, I did, it's not my fault!

But yeah, I think what might've gotten me over the line was the paragraph where I explained, in unprovably-specific detail, exactly which mailbox I went to and what pharmacy I was going to at the time to get a refill of what prescription drug. I could be making every single part of that up (although I wasn't), they wouldn't know, but it sounds legit if it's that specific!

"Using the internet and sharing ideas with like minded people" isn't very convincing criteria to distinguish between Islamist terrorists and psychiatric patients.

Where are you getting these things about making bombs and online plots? Nothing I've seen has any information beyond an unidentified guy shooting another guy, taking a hostage and getting shot, and some other unidentified guy who may or may not have been the murderer making a phone call about Islamic state.
