Goons with a longer memory than mine: I want to contribute to the fattest politician thread but the fattest one I can think of is Russ Hinze and I'm sure there's another Fitzgerald Inquiry superstar who was fatter and had a horrible nose to boot. Anyone remember who it was?

So with that French au pair - she was previously 'counselled' by immigration for working while on a tourist visa, then tells immigration again that she's working while on a tourist visa. Do you have to be loving stupid to be an au pair?

I've taught on the subject to a degree, I'm not super familiar with NSW's coastline, but generally marine species use areas close to shore to lay their eggs. There's not a large amount of research around recreational fishing, but the amount of it continues to increase, due in part to increasing populations and the increasing popularity of the "sport". There's several Australian Universities, and the CSIRO, who are starting to look into the impacts of recreational fishing, but for someone to cry 'it's not us, it's the trawlers that do all the damage' is an idiots cry, there is not enough data out there.

Basically, yeah, recreational fishing can damage the biodiversity, and we need to protect certain areas wholesale, what we would call nursery areas. Looking at the map I wouldn't call it an overreach. A secondary concern, listed in the documentation, is rehabilitating the habitats damaged, in part, by recreational fishers.

If he was a real fisher, he'd want to protect fish stocks so people can keep fishing forever.

Also, anecdotally, the dopey fuckers can't stop dumping their fishing lines all over the place which kills wildlife so gently caress 'em. They had their chance.

Imagine you're a farmer struggling through this unrelenting drought, and a herd of wild goats wanders onto your land.

By law, you're allowed to harvest them and sell them to make a profit. It could even earn you enough to pay your kids' school fees for another year.

It's enough to allow you to take a breath in these unforgiving, dry conditions across the entire eastern seaboard of Australia.

So imagine, then, the heartbreak when someone steals that herd of goats from your property and makes $40,000 profit for themselves — illegally.

Well, you know what they say - easy come, easy goat.

Bit of a long-shot question here, but I'm getting a little desperate. Can anyone link to a poll by a news agency that's online that uses a leading question? Or even just one of those lovely news.com polls they do that are pointless because of self-selection bias? Finding news.com hard to navigate which doesn't bode well for my digital communication course.

You said Labor can't change it's policy on refugees because it doesn't poll well. So there's two arguments I think of when I see your username: Reffoes have to be locked up on hell island, and Knight's cartoon that loads of people called racist isn't racist. Good job.
