there is no dirt on dutton, it’d be like trying to dig up dirt on a fascist brick

He was a Queensland cop, he is a potato, he was born into dirt, moulded by it.

The problem is it’s all going to be dirt like “beat an aboriginal person almost to death”, “assaulted a protestor”, “used police systems to stalk an ex”, rather than things which Australians might actually care about.

Yes Abbott and Joyce are going to start firing broadsides at 30 newspolls. I wonder if Joyce would hire me since I assume he has no staff. I'd just like to write him one speech where his parting statement is "what's more embarrassing, having a baby with a staff member, destroying your marriage and alienating you children then claiming it isn't yours weeks after announcing that you love and adore this staffer, or losing 30 newspolls in a row? I think we all know."

It’s the collector thedispute is with though, also I just reread the press release and it’s all council waste collection services that have been suspended, so garbage, recycling and organics.

Mount Alexander has just put out something saying they’re in the same boat.


fwiw I’d be really surprised if there was an interruption of services to any metro councils, but a fair few rural councils and collectors are hanging on by a thread

I think Dandrews announced $13m to help councils affected last week, but I doubt that's enough

Yeah, the problems are:

1) you’re correct, it’s not enough
2) affected council = every single council
3) while they did the press release and all to get credit for acting in the two weeks since they still haven’t released details of how the funding will work so how can people start negotiating interim contracts
4) the sustainability fund has like $700m sitting in it and is explicitly purposed for work on improving waste management in Victoria but instead of dipping into it for major market crisis like this they give parks Victoria tens of millions for asset management and dumb poo poo like that

If it's anything like the majority of vicgov funds, the Sustainability fund is probably chronically oversubscribed and already has too many applications in the pipeline lol

Nah the actual answer is they’d rather have the cash sitting their propping up the credit rating than use it for the purposes it is collected for

Fair enough but I don't think simply saying immigration is a dogwhistle in the context of that article is fair. I don't think the word requires a massive caveat around it without being automatically a dogwhistle.
