I am actually, because he's been in parliament for a while now and most people after sitting in that place for long enough learn how it works and how to play the game. Even if he has seen the writing on the wall and that he's not going to last for very long, why the gently caress would he just throw it all away along with a pile of money that SHY is probably now entitled to just to get a few likes for his facebook page?

He's managed to rally most other parliamentarians behind SHY, even if they're using reserved language that doesn't specifically name her or the Greens. The ones who may agree with him are smart enough to keep their mouth shut both in and out of parliament.

Because he's a privileged idiot who has become so accustomed to never facing consequences for his actions that he simply never considered that he had to moderate them.

1st, holy poo poo wtf else are they planning if this is only halfway and

2nd, Q: Why is registering a business name their example if they're talking about centrelink?
A: Because they have no examples of it working for the services centrelink provides.

Good luck with olds doing this.

Also good luck ever being compliant again if you have your payments cut off for 3 months and the only way to get them back is to take a photo of yourself and use the internet to upload it and you can't afford a phone with an internet connection, because you have no money.

A self-described independent Scientologist and former comedian said he painted lewd graffiti on the Eurydice Dixon memorial to attack feminism and promote his anti-vaccination message.

Ms Dixon, herself an emerging comedian, was killed as she walked home through the Carlton North park from a gig in the city on June 13.
Just days after her death, police officers doing routine patrols of the area found the markings on the soccer pitch where her body was found, which had been transformed into a memorial site.

Andrew Nolch said he was guilty and he planned on getting caught.

“I was upset, and I want to make this clear, this was not a personal attack at all...this was purely an attack on feminism, on mainstream media for hijacking a vaccine-causing issue and turning it into a men are bad, women’s rights issue,” he told The Age.

Mr Nolch repeatedly cited the discredited theory that vaccines caused autism.

He said it was worth causing hurt in order to get his message across. He also said that he had no diagnosed mental illness.

Dear Australia, I am a sane person who paints dicks on memorials to murder victims to protest feminism.

I like that his whole case is "not all men" and it's totally unfair to tar normal guys with the same brush as these terrible men and then he does this and proves that no, actually I think you can use the same brush after all.

Because we're not animals and deference to the court is important. It's not about the judge as a person. The judge represents the values of a society. That's why you stand.

Why? Should we also show deference to cops? How about politicians? What part of this is a useful thing and what is just a historical quirk where the rabble had to show respect to their betters?

It should be contempt. No one would defend this if it was a single dad or some other white, sad sack loser in there making a point.

e: as I said, it's just a sign of respect for a core institution and what it represents, which is ostensibly justice and order.

No, honestly if it was a white idiot doing this I'd raise the same question. They're dumb as gently caress for not just standing but the standing rule is also dumb as gently caress.

Do you think the same respect should be applied to cops? Do you think everyone should stand when a police officer enters the room? What about a politician? Aren't cops justice and order, aren't politicians who make the law also part of a core institution? Do you think it should be a punishable offence if you don't?

EDIT: I mean this poo poo is literally bow and scrape before your betters. Is our justice system there to be served by people or to serve the people involved in it?

Why do they always bang on about being ashamed of being white? No one has told you to be ashamed???

Because they can't separate having done bad things from being "bad" as a person. If you tell them that white people have done terrible things and we need to make them right they can't hear that as "We need to acknowledge our failures and work to correct them" but only as "You should be ashamed of being white". That's why they take it so personally, because they live in a black and white world where bad people do bad things, and if they've done bad things they must be a bad person, but they're a good person, so they can't have done bad things, therefore someone is trying to trick them.
