Was Bolt one of the ones who criticised Joyce for making a big deal about the pie to the face?

The UK election parallels to the Aus election last year are interesting.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Would anyone be surprised if this is the issue that finally finishes off Turnbull? It's like we're in some Quantum Leap hijinks where the timeline is going to be set back how it was meant to be. Turnbull tries to do something slightly good for the climate, gets rolled and Abbott takes over. Leads them to the next election where this time he gets absolutely hammered and we hopefully get to see him cry on live tv. It's how things were meant to happen the first time around, the universe is just righting itself.

Lid posted:Channel Ten has been forced to go into voluntary administration after its billionaire shareholders told it on the weekend they would no longer guarantee a key loan. Not surprising, watched Ten for the first time in ages on Monday night and that Have You Been Paying Attention show had Medibank advertising inside the show itself.

The first Adelaide goonmeet I went to (well Auspol goonmeet) was at Nandos. Good peeps, so despite not eating meat I'll give Nandos a pass.

open24hours posted:I understand the rationale behind the ownership restrictions, but I don't understand why there's such a high barrier to entry for TV. Surely it isn't that there are only five companies interested in running a TV station in Australia? I guess it's all academic now that internet speeds are fast enough for streaming video. The airspace is valuable and it can be sold for more elsewhere. See how the government are pulling community tv off the air this month.

Yeah, there are tons of good pubs in Adelaide CBD with no pokies. The Austral, Crown and Anchor, Exeter, and Grace Emily are all decent places to drink with not a pokie in sight.

That BS "Refugees are getting more money than pensioners!" image is doing the rounds on Facebook again, so if you see it pop up here's the link to discredit it: http://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/BN/2012-2013/AustGovAssistRefugees

Futuresight posted:I still don't see why GST had to have exemptions. This picking and choosing business just adds a whole bunch of stupid poo poo to argue over. Because the GST is a regressive tax. For living hand to mouth a uniform 10% tax on all goods and services is essentially just an extra 10% tax on their income.

Futuresight posted:No I get that the GST was a regressive, lovely tax. But the better response would have been to adjust income taxes on the lower brackets and increase welfare. That's the same logic that results in lovely unions giving up worker rights in exchange for a slightly higher hourly rate. Spoiler: What always ends up happening is that over time those improved rates diminish until they are left on the same equivalent pay they would have otherwise had with less rights. The same thing with welfare and taxes.

JBP posted:It was a promise that they wouldn't do a gst but they had such a raging loving bone on for it that they did it anyway. To be fair to Howard, he actually did go to an election saying that he had changed his mind on the GST and would bring it in if re-elected.

You Am I posted:Close down all private schools, divert money to all public schools, as private schools push the bullshit classism that shouldn't exist in Australia. Counter point, the North Adelaide golf course is lovely and it making money means that section of the parklands is much nicer than it would otherwise be.

Tony Abbott, reduced to retweeting radio interviews where he complains about Pyne supporting Turnbull.

Either he deeply believes anyone would trust him as PM again, or he knows deep down it will never happen but has nothing else to strive for. Either way it's glorious to watch.
