I guess if they can't make people scared of Russians for some drum beating then they'll try the Chinese next. If you squint the article looks like it's about the USSR.

open24hours posted:Why do we have such an antagonistic relationship with East Timor anyway? I know we want to steal their resources, but aren't there more subtle ways to do it? Seems like a wasted opportunity to set up a client state. Australian diplomacy and subtle don't exactly go hand in hand.

Bogan King posted:In news that will shock exactly zero people the ALP has learned nothing at all. Yup. Let me paraphrase what the ALP learned from the UK elections: It would be very unwise for Australian Labor to tailor a message to the voters based around the principles of integrity and fairness that Corbyn consistently displayed. Because Australian politics is so rotten to the core you'll never see a federal ICAC.

Nothing is ever going to happen to Shorten because nobody ever knows where he is or what he stands for. When your party is led by a grey man in a grey suit then there isn't anything to be learned by studying Corbyn because he had what Shorten will never have - a personality.

Konomex posted:Voting to leave an economic union and refusing foreigners free and unrestricted entry into your country (but still letting them enter for valid visa reasons) is worse than literal concentration camps that have resulted in multiple dead refugees, rapes and child abuse? The economic union issue affects the (mostly white) people far more than a bunch of unwanted vaguely brown people dying in horrific concentration camps full of despair, abuse and rape. I mean who cares about them anyway right? So yes, because it inconveniences the (mostly white) people more obviously the visa issue makes them far worse than our Sunburnt Country of 21st century concentration camps overseen by literal black shirted thugs accountable only to King Potatoe.

The White Australia policy is old hat. If it was me I'd go for something much more interesting and dynamic to appeal to the younger voters. I'd make applying for breeding licenses mandatory for any potential parents. If you fail the associated English, Math and means testing then you get a non-reversible vasectomy or tubes tied as applicable. When you apply for the test enforcement compliance officers will be in the next room with rusty scissors, knitting needles and yarn to carry out the needful. Oh and obviously any children secretly born to unlicensed parents are seized by the state and used to provide cheap labor on the fruit farms for life. The parents too but they'll be going to different farms.

Citizenship test question 17: "Which would you rather live next to?" The page displays two images: a glossy color photo of a touched up in photoshop gleaming coal fired power plant and a black and white out of focus smudged image of some windmills, also that photo is half the size of the other one. (any applicant that doesn't answer "the coal power plant" immediately has their visa cancelled while several of Dutton's blackshirts forcibly haul them off to hurl them into the sea)

JBP posted:Nothing will destroy capitalism because everyone has a #personalbrand now and they think when they post a sad story on facebook that people will actually give a gently caress about them as an individual rather than simply let them die face down and stomp on their head to get a loaf of bread. Nothing will destroy capitalism because brands are our new tribes. Anidav posted:Like any teacher worth their weight is fully trained for all kinds of kids and alot of schools offer kids who need it assistant teachers who accompany kids in vital classrooms like maths ect. Bigger classrooms have sub teachers who assist the main teacher too and I hear classrooms have iPads and Laptops these days so whatever teachers are telling Pauline Hanson to kick autistic kids out of classrooms is in the wrong profession. Which planet are you from again?
