quote:

"How was this man on parole? He had a long record of violence. A very long record of violence. He had been charged with a terrorist offence some years ago and had been acquitted. He was known to have connections, at least in the past, with violent extremism," Mr Turnbull said.

So we should deny people parole based on charges that they weren't convicted for?

Jesus Christ.

That's not how parole works.

No, as in he's saying with his criminal history and connection he shouldn't have been eligible for parole and instead should have served his sentence in full.

If someone is acquitted, it's not their criminal history then is it?

here's my argument

gonski 2 uses a better model than current school funding, cool.
it provides more funding than what is currently legislated. it provides less funding than labor has promised they would provide. labor's promise is immaterial because they are not in power, and can increase funding when they're elected.
the crossbenchers have gotten some significant concessions from the government, chief among them an independent body to supervise schools funding.

seems like a fairly reasonable package to support. the labor chuds will cry about lnp-greens collusion but the greens aren't the ones who line up to support torturing refugees and increasing the power of the police and intelligence agencies so they can go gently caress themselves

That's pretty much my take on it, although I haven't paid it a great deal of attention.

What's the union's objection to it? Just less funding than Labor promised? Certain members who won't do as well under a needs based model?

So why is it unreasonable for cyclists to pay rego that goes to the roads, would also help add weight to requests to make roads more cyclists friendly?

The answer to this is that most of the funding for roads is collected through taxes.

Registration is almost entirely insurance and admin fees.

So its unreasonable to ask that people who take bikes onto the road are both safe to use(eg have reflectors, brakes that work) and also have some sort of insurance like other vehicles on the road?

Having a safe bike is already part of the road rules. I remember the police blitz in Adelaide a few years ago where people were receiving fines of several hundred dollars for not having a bell etc.

Regarding insurance, statistics show that cars are at fault in the vast majority of cases. On the rare occasion that a bike is at fault, it's potential for injuring a third party is a fraction of what a car can do.

Cycling is a net public benefit for traffic congestion and health. You really want to be minimising potential barriers to participation where possible.

People aren't going to take the bike out of their shed and ride to work every now and then if they have to go to the bother and expense of registration, and that would be a bad thing.

The law covers your first point and insurance only needs to be third party so who loving cares, it's a bicycle.

If you live 25km from your job and can't ride a bike, that's cool because nobody is trying to convince you to.

We can still have great public transport and good roads. These things aren't mutually exclusive.
