Also their plans to cut down all the old growth forests, but just ignore that for now.

That one's just smart politics since Labor can't stop being in bed with the logging companies and their employees (mostly the companies) and the Greens have an actual presence in Tasmania.

I figured it had to be something else, because my JSA has nothing but some chairs and computers that don't work and very, very aggresive word documents stapled to the wall that literally say like, "YOU make your LIFE choices, THE economy and YOUR past HAVE NO bearing on YOUR FUTURE, we choose to have our ATTITUDE as GRATEFUL AND POSITIVE everyday"

I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but honest to god I'll take a picture next time I'm there

There are in fact good JSPs out there. I managed to back my way into one (JobProspects Prahran, they seem to do good work).

Rather interesting article from the graun about the SA election from the bottom-level perspective. It seems clear that voters want a change but the options are bloody limited and the candidates confuse the hell out of them.

It shouldn't.
There's the Liberals, the "I can't believe they're not Liberals"-brand Liberals and the Not Liberals.

I'm actually kinda surprised with the "talent" VicLabor pushes into those stronghold seats. It's almost like they don't get why they're stronghold seats to begin with.

You look at who the Libs have in Goldstein, Higgins and Kooyong and they're current ministers who look like they're going places or are future Liberal superstar Tim Wilson.

My prediction fot Ports is that the Greens eclipse Danby only to have Damnby-wing ALP voters preference the Libs and give them the seat instead :negative:

I mean, that's what he did last time; if you were voting in an area considered to be Jewish, Danby had unique how-to-vote cards that put the Liberals ahead of the Greens.

I think they want to avoid being "the party of chaos" so they can attack a "labor greens coalition of chaos" at the next election. Just fling so much poo poo you can't see the sun any more.

Especially now that Labor appears to be gearing up for a run on making on making old people suffer.

There's an Ethiopian restaurant somewhat near me that I haven't been to yet. I like eating spicy mush with unleavened bread so maybe I'll go.

Ethiopian is properly good food.
Went with an actual Ethiopian person once, holy poo poo that food was amazing.

Ethiopian is loving delicious and a great dining experience with friends and if that was Caleb Bond then I will point out that the Ethopian places in Adelaide are very good and that he's a dickhead.

I think someone mentioned it was Blair Cotrel or whatever the gently caress his name is.

Reminder that the CFA covers a not insignificant chunk of metropolitan melbourne for reasons passing understanding in the 21st century.

Dude McAwesome posted:

CFA vols backed up Turnbull in the lead up to 2016 federal election. Turnbull forms government. Passed legislation saying that volunteers are able to object to any clauses in the CFA professional firefighter’s EBA. Hence no EBA is ever going to pass.

Like I don't get this, or the legality of it. Isn't this a massive overreach on the part of the Federal government?
