On the eve of the Tasmanian state election, the Liberals have just mentioned that they are looking at watering down their gun laws

Their excuse for not mentioning it earlier is that some policies are only discussed with certain interest groups as if the public at large doesn’t have an interest in their own democracy :shepface:

Wait, there's places without a fuckton of people handing out how to vote cards?

To be fair, I live in Dobell, a very marginal seat for federal elections.

Handing out how to vote cards outside the polling booth is illegal in Tasmania for state elections.

Probably around $3.5 million altogether.

$30k a year in dividend probably means an investment of roughly $500k in a high yield managed fund.

I'll have to end my lease soon. It's rolled over to a periodical contract thing because neither me or the landlord did anything about a new lease when the first one ran out. Is there anything I need to be aware of? Basically want to cut off as many routes for those dicks to gently caress me over when I leave. The house was in pretty hosed condition when I moved in and I'm fairly confident I can have it in a better state when I move out than it was when I moved in but I'm still a tad worried they'll pull some stunt like rip up a floorboard, and a bunch of dry rot and try to pin it on me soomehow.

This immigration "debate" is the stupidest thing I've read in a while.

Totally open borders are bad because without infrastructure you end up with America's 19th century Irish/Italian slums where immigrants walk straight off the boat into poverty and thus into exploitation.

That said, a large intake quota that gives first priority to refugees fleeing persecution or poverty is something to be proud of.

Locking people up in camps is bad and all that.

It's difficult to agree with these statements, because calling people 'too easily offended' and implying their hypersensitivity is stifling debate is also a popular right-wing talking point to accomplish the same thing in reverse.

Often people with very real grievances are ignored because they're 'just being too sensitive.'

Is there anyone here who has experience with the Victorian Greens who can provide some actual facts?

'This is bullying' vs. 'you're too sensitive' is a very low-value argument that isn't going to get us anywhere without real context.
