Starshark posted:So Alan Jones is being sued for a record-breaking 4.8 million and there's a fairly good chance he's going to have to pay out (even if it isn't 4.8 million). But gently caress that, look what this dork turns up to court wearing. He must've irritated his stylist. Sued by who? And what for?

The Before Times posted:Defamation, he implied (well, not just implied but flat-out claimed) that some family business/businessman in Qld was responsible for the deaths of a few people in the 2011 floods. Starshark posted:Before Times summed it up, but the full article is here http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-05-01/alan-jones-media-outlets-face-record-defamation-claim/9715326 This is awesome - especially since the Rebel Wilson case has lead to Alan Jones getting hosed harder (they raised the amount per plaintiff)

Teachers need to hang on to their rights with both hands if not more. When right-wing shitstains are in charge they're a favourite target. I don't know how to communicate to the world how much work a teacher does without knowing or being a teacher. They should straight up do a "My Teacher Rules" show or something like that to show the long hours and stresses that teachers go through.

Reclines Obesily posted:former libs are just making GBS threads over the current ones from all angles, whats the deal They've realised raising NewStart means more money gets spent by the poors (since they need to spend 100% of what they earn to y'know... survive) and as far as I know they all hate Turnbull since he's not as far right as they'd like Costello is just a loving idiot who people think are smart since he had the mining boom under him. Much like ScoMo last night, they had nothing to do with the increased revenue and instead global commodity markets made it possible.

Also, may I just chime in here and say age based wages are the greatest load of bullshit ever. If a job is worth doing it's worth paying a 13 year old the same as a 20 year old, don't entrench child labour by paying them less and making it more enticing for companies to hire year 8s and turf them before graduation.

Daytime TV and what these right-wing poo poo heels on shows like Outsiders are delivering gave me an interesting thought on the weekend. Their target audience are olds. People who rarely go out on the town and who definitely wouldn't be world hopping to see that no, the nightlife in Melbourne actually isn't rife with African gangs and Paris is certainly not being overtaken by Muslims. But now they're picking up young people. Specifically young always online shut-ins who don't go out at night to see what the world really looks like and an international trip is out of the question. So while younger generations are more "woke" than ever and people are wondering how there can be a neo-nazi/alt-right surge in young men it turns out the answer is quite simple. Fuckers need to go outside.

NTRabbit posted:I have no idea what is going on here From Wiki: quote:Group Captain Catherine "Cate" McGregor AM is a transgender woman, who served as a member of the Australian Defence Force (ADF). She has also worked as a cricket commentator. Essentially Latham and his cronies are intimating that her ADF service wasn't what she said it was (can you guess why?). Cate tells them to gently caress off in multiple somewhat garbled messages and then blocks them. Good on her, I say.

It's okay, Tony Abbott is here to bring sense and decorum to this argument: quote:Tony Abbott has taken a swipe at Lucy Turnbull after the prime minister's wife claimed Sydney was 'far from full' and could take more immigrants. Man, can't have a former mayor and person actually living in Sydney tell us what's going on, we need a Queenslander and "social media" (all of it? wow!) to tell us what's really up
