Will the amount of money pokies/hospitality spent on this election ever be declared?

Given how successful pokies reform was in Western Australia I guess they feel they have to go all out to maintain the status quo elsewhere

But how else can community sports clubs continue to thrive off the suffering and devastation imposed on families?

vic is incredibly left with its michael danbys and its blair cottrells

They're only noteworthy down here because they're an aberration, they stand out. In Anidav's beloved Queensland, :scrunt:

s are normal and everyday occurrences.

Blair Cottrell has about 0% chance of being elected to a federal seat or senate position in Victoria. He'd enjoy a lot more success in the Sunshine State, however.

Just posting from the past to say that it's ironic that Daisy is mad rapping this brand, as this brand regularly exploits the models they use, and basically is straight up racist.

Oh god I remember Kitten D'amour, they used to be called Sex Kitten back in 2010 and, to be very honest, their dresses are poo poo quality.

It's likely this is the tip of the iceberg, as with all companies that get called out on this poo poo.

It seems like they did awkward orientalist designs and panicked at the backlash.

Much like everything to do with Daisy and the rest of the Aus alt-right community, astoundingly dull

To be honest, I'd be willing to bet real money that Daisy is sponsored by them, the amount of brand dropping she does for them. Even in some of her articles, she'll drop them as if they're a big brand to be recognised.

EDIT: It's also a Brisbane founded and based company, I really wouldn't put it past the owner to be quite conservative and right wing, considering that response basically said "we don't really care because our customers are very fine with this".

Sorry busy day but my friend was a model for them for a while and they ended up flat-out not paying her while still using her image and then the owners of the brand came out with this huge persecution complex about people being out to get them.

In this Facebook thread a bunch of other people chimed in that this has happened to them aswell so I guess it�s not s public news thing yet?? This was probably about a year ago though now

This happens a lot with models and smaller brands, it's pretty much "oh you'll get lots of exposure" type poo poo too.

Last year, Ipsos conducted for Fairfax focus groups in Sydney and Melbourne, and some of the descriptions of the Opposition leader included “a snake”, “he stabs people in the back”, “sorry but I can’t stand him”, and the kicker: “inauthentic”.

Snake for PM

Because focus groups worked so well for KRudd.

I have no idea why you guys don't just call the Ombudsman over this horseshit. The internet just dropping the gently caress out for days at a time is not acceptable in this day and age.

The TIO requires you to first attempt to resolve the issue with the ISP and go through their process before you can lodge a complaint with them.

But you're telling other people the TIO is a waste of time for reasons specific to your brother's case. Synth has NBN. Edit: as in, NBN usually means more providers get into the area.

It also means Telstra don't have any real extra sway and can't just flick a switch to change it over since it's not on Telstra infrastructure.

Not that they should be doing that on their own infrastructure, because the ACCC gets narky at them for doing it (employees can be fined for breaching structural separation).

considering dropping nbn if they cant resolve it and just getting a 4g modem I can pair with my phone account

If you do any online gaming or downloading, you're hosed. ewe2 lived on a 4g modem for years and it's basically the best way to kill what you do online.

I'd suggest dropping iiNet and going for Aussie Broadband or MyRepublic (who I'm with). Aside from a mixup during the relocation of our service when we moved last year, it's been pretty solid (apart from their routing tables getting hosed for 20 minutes the other day).

Labor in Batman probably isn't being helped by the fact that the Young Labor at LaTrobe are basically trying to dismantle the LGBTIQ department of the Student Union and last year redirected the funds from that department to other areas. None of the services for LGBTIQ students are promoted by the Union and there hasn't been any events planned by the department for over a year.

Ah ok I thought there was an an official response that acknowledged some kind of wrongdoing, but yeah I'm sure if it was there it was quickly carpeted over anyway.

From my understanding the 101 page "report" is a compiled complaint by a group of members from that branch that another body in the party investigated and found wasn't warranted.

That isn't to say that the complaints aren't valid, however. As you say, if there was a legit complaint it would have been carpeted over. I can't see any party going to a by-election not shoving that poo poo into a dark corner.
