Quaedvlieg is on a completely different level. You know how in your life there’s someone who’s dumb as dogshit but thinks they’re the smartest person in the room? That guy became a cop, then he became the head of border force.

It sounds fine from Turnbull. Quaedvlieg just sounds like he is always trying too hard.

Quaedvlieg always sounds like he's romanticizing cruising for his next murder victim.

So he could rock up at an expensive New York broker's club and say "haha remember that time I was Prime Minister of Australia!" and everyone laughs at what a mad man he is.

quote:

Thirteen-year-old called Katinka is desperate to stand and walk, but she needs help to do it.
"We found this walker, and the day that she trialled it, she was the happiest that I've ever seen her in the four years I've known her," Heather Richmond, her physiotherapist, told the ABC's AM program.
"And she just kept saying, 'Look, I'm standing, I'm walking on my own, I can do it'."
That equipment was trialled a year ago, but Katinka still doesn't have a walker of her own.
"Since then she's been asking her family constantly, her school: 'When's my walker coming? When's my walker coming?'"
The walker Katinka has applied for costs $6,000.
Heather Richmond says it is a reasonable and necessary piece of equipment for her
— but the NDIA has rejected her application to get one.
"As therapists, [we] go to university and have all this clinical experience in order to know what is the best for a certain client," Ms Richmond said.
She said it is frustrating to have recommendations declined.
"We put the time and effort in to trialling equipment and supports, and then it just takes one person to say, 'No, I don't think so, I don't think it's necessary for her'."

quote:

...

Katinka's father Darren Pettett said after the story aired, several individuals and organisations contacted them offering to fund the $6,000 frame.

...

The experience has left physiotherapist Ms Richmond with concerns about how some NDIS planners are making their decisions.
"She [the NDIS planner] had googled Katinka's condition of Down syndrome, and said that she didn't believe there were many people with Down syndrome that were in wheelchairs, so she didn't know why she would need a walker.
"These comments were very hurtful to the family."

I'm proud of you, Bender. Sure, you lost. You lost bad. But the important thing is I beat up someone who hurt my feelings in high school.

I think it's beyond a stretch to call "subjected queer Australians to months of vitriol masquerading as public debate about their validity as equal people" a good thing, regardless of us getting the right outcome from it

Yeah, but I bet they won't even let themselves use that in their campaigns.
