There's a thing on tomorrow by the greens about rentals (and presumably how loving atrocious they can be).

The thing that shits me is that landlord's expectations are generally way higher than they'd have of their own house.

The majority of those "mum and dad investors" they talk about are not suited to be landlord's. They're too jealous and loss averse to their property, like loving Gollum with his precious.

Power corrupts, especially very small amounts of power.

It's sad that a not-insignificant chunk of voters seem to vote with their party no matter what, so a crazy nut has a decent chance of getting elected if they can just weasel their way into the party.

yeah exactly, its almost as if wages are paid based on the perceived ability of the person involved and not based on the difficulty of the job. it doesn't encourage people to hire kids over adults in any industry where ability is necessary, mmg's just mad that he got turned down from a maccas job at 23.

it sucks that people aren't paid equally for a given role, but accusing it of entrenching child labor is pretty fuckin funny, considering most teenagers work to have some kind of income to spend, not out of some pressing financial need

Youth homelessness is a serious problem and only getting worse.

why arent our 7-11s staffed by children if they're so abundant and cheap to hire, surely it would be easier to commit wage theft on them

I know places like KFC and McDonalds love to give jobs to hardworking children instead of profit-leeching adults.

It's cool that we can sort mentally ill people into tiers so the wrong types don't get free money, but we can't stop banks from getting a chunk of the tax cut because tiers are wrong.

NBN Co on Thursday night announced it had dumped plans to provide 100 megabit per second (mbps) speeds on its fixed wireless network.

"We killed it," NBN boss Bill Morrow told a Senate Estimates committee.

Fixed wireless uses mobile phone technology to provide broadband to properties in regional areas.

Mr Morrow said consistently achieving 100mbps would cost "billions and billions of dollars" — a taxpayer spend he described as "outrageous".

lol good thing the government didn't go all in on wireless like they wanted to.

I feel like there's less to be said about the fact somebody said the N-word on live TV, and more to be said about the fact that the fact that we were so saturated with royal wedding poo poo that nobody cared about that you could drop the N-word, twice, during the coverage and nobody notices for over a week.

I'd like to know what kind of context it was in, because it has to be crazy.

Since Labor didn't feel like pushing gay marriage until they lost power, maybe the next time the LNP take over Labor can trick them into shutting down off shore detention too.

https://www.facebook.com/AngusMcAlpineGreensFootscray/ Phone/work posting so I'll just leave the link, but I don't know him which is why I ask. As someone who doesn't know him he comes across as very negative to me, and almost everything he's posted has been either slamming Labor or about refugees, with no positive policy announcements, which is not a great strategy for a state government election, especially with a fairly popular state Labor government. Also he keeps tagging things with #VicPol which someone should probably explain to him doesn't mean what he thinks it means.

Cool, next zoom in on one pixel of his teeth so we know how green they are.

I’m so torn about Jacqui Lambie. Her heart’s in the right place with some things (veterans, welfare, healthcare) but she’s loving insane on things like Islam.

Can I be conflicted about that, or is the only answer guillotine / hero of the proletariat?

As an independent she can't really legislate her nutty stuff but can support decent stuff. Maybe.

I wonder if she hates Hanson and can't see the irony.
