I'm going to hedge my bets and say I think he's gonna be the one to see the GG and draw up the writs, and therefore will be Leader of the Liberal party and PM until the next election. I think it would take a genuinely catastrophic budget reaction or huge defeats in SA and Vic to convince the Libs change is required to avoid getting killed federally. Unfortunately I also think the bubbles gonna burst while labor's holding the bag. Schlesische fucked around with this message at 08:41 on Dec 1, 2017 |

fiery_valkyrie posted:There definitely is a real lack of educational focus on the history of Aboriginal people pre and post-settlement (or at least there was when I was at school). I did history as one of my year 12 subjects and I learnt all about Europe during WWI and WWII and the US/USSR Cold War, but not a thing about Australian history. I only know a little about Aboriginal society/culture/history because I went out of my way to learn about it at uni. There's a general lack of education with the flaws in Australian society. I took a "Contemporary Issues" class in year 12, and we discussed American Immigration but not Australian Immigration.

Sparticle posted:https://twitter.com/ECQInfo/status/939028077991960576 I really thought PHON did a lot better in primary vote than they did. The Greens almost got as many votes as PHON, which really surprised me. I guess maybe Queensland isn't Worst State by as large a margin as I thought. Maybe NSW is in fact worst state.

"Magpies" and "Plovers" (they're European names for species that ?aren't actually related to the European namesakes?) don't swoop me, but they sure as hell like having a crack at my (admittedly incredibly oblivious) doggo. If they'd cut that poo poo out, I'd be a-ok with those magnificent bastards.

JBP posted:Is this true or just some housing crisis panic thing you've invented, because there are plenty of people buying cheap investment homes in regions to get a "foot in the door". Column A + Column B. Riding the 7AM train from Bendigo to Melbourne you aren't getting a seat and there are a *lot* of suits. Also my dad's place is on the south side of bendigo and there are a bunch of housing developments around here (not unlike what you see in Truganina tbqh). But there's always been a portion of society that wants the "Bendigo/Castlemaine Lifestyle" and who are prepared to pay for the commute. Similar deal with the Gong/Newcastle if I've heard right.

One the one hand, the D-class has this wonderful thing called "Air Conditioning". On the other, the Z-class is more comfortable and makes fewer weird noises when it turns.

Isn't the Banking Royal Commission going after Industry Superfunds in any event?

CrazyTolradi posted:New solution is the E-class, which has decent seating and air-con. See my problem is that as the E-class moves trams off the more congested Northern lines, I get all the poo poo that gets moved off them on my eastern/south eastern lines. As it is I get a bunch of Z3's but I'm gonna be exclusively riding D's when the Es take over. MikeJF posted:Yeah but it increases the value of the property!

MikeJF posted:Ugh, the design is horrible for Fed Square. It's mandatory for flagship Apple stores to be glass cubes, but they could at least fit the trimmings to the style of Fed Square, since the square buildings have a unified and very distinct look and a single building of totally different style will make it all clash horribly and stick out like a sore thumb. I read somewhere that it's gonna create a wind tunnel effect to blow through which, if Docklands is any indicator, will make the area a concrete hell in winter.

I straight up don't get how people are so angsty over this. If: 1) The government was going to get rid of Fed Square south building and 2) Apple is paying for the land and construction then who really gives a poo poo? I mean if the government is paying for the privilege of having an apple store in Fed Square then they can absolutely gently caress off. The West Gate Tunnel is significantly worse in every way and Dandrews should get the poo poo kicked out of him from that one, but loving if you think this wasn't going to happen. Apple and the fuckwits behind the West Gate Tunnel saw opportunities and basically every government in Australia would 100% have done what Dandrews and his government did. At least we're getting Metrorail and the Airport Rail link.

I was using an Asus UX21E (along side a standard tower) until I decided I should prolly get an upgrade last week. I really like iPhones but I'm still somewhat pissy that Apple obsoletes it's own phones by pushing updates that progressively make the phone slower and worse unless you opt out of updating your phone after year 2 or 3.

JBP posted:A lot of people oppose safe schools style programs because they want to do their own sex and life education with their children and don't trust the government to do it. I don't think any of those people are gonna vote for Luke "Cry for the Dog Owners" Foley. Except the ones who want to teach their kids that gays are evil, sex is immoral and should only be done for procreation and that the Bible is the ultimate arbiter of moral righteousness. Or worse, the ones who say that they should be the ones to teach their kids this stuff and then proceed to not teach their kids anything.

BBJoey posted:you actually made it incorrect. popularity outside the party room will not be a factor in the next liberal spill because none of the contenders outside julie bishop are more liked than turnbull; hence why the next pm will be peter dutton. I don't think Bishop will be a contender unless other people can put your name up unilaterally. It'll be Dutton v ScoMo and I think Dutton will probably win because he's clearly got so much party room power.

Don Dongington posted:Scomo's popularity is in single figures, as is Duttons. Abbott's sitting on like 15% or something pathetic like that, and as a point of reference, the party room knows that putting him back would result in electoral mass destruction. I think Malcolm will take the LNP to the next election and it will be ScoMo vs someone else (possibly Frydenburg?) who will be the interim leader with Bishop sitting in the back until about a year out from an election when she'll step in and take over and lead them to that later election.

From what it sounds like, Downer did literally everything he should have. He reported it up the chain and let the process happen. Worth noting his term as Ambassador is up/he's retiring and returning to Adelaide.
