Cpt Soban posted:We had a local pub spend thousands on a fancy sign that "calculated" what the cost of food should be during public holidays.... The moron who designed it simply multiplied the current prices by 2 because - DOUBLE TIME, as if to say wages made up 100% of the pub's expenses... It hit the local news, their Facebook page was spammed with hundreds of people saying "fine we'll go elsewhere". My own comment was even printed in the local newspaper (I refuse to go to businesses that mistreat their workers). We used to do gaming meetups at that pub often- Never been since. Oh and even the local ABC radio station had a segment on it, a business/economic expert was invited to comment, and yeah he demolished them saying "no it's completely wrong". Bombay Bicycle Club? We used to go there reasonably often and haven't been back since they did that.

The best thing about climate change is that Australia will get even more drought-plagued and inhospitable, or one of those outlier predictions about Australia actually getting more rain will come about and we will be a target for invasion by billions of displaced people.

AgentF posted:Nuclear would have been pretty sweet around 50 years ago but the time for renewables has come. It is the cheapest electricity out there and is vital for meeting (what should be) our emission targets. Time to go full steam on renewables. Yeah. Knowing Australia, we will get on the nuclear bandwagon just as fusion becomes a thing and then we'll have fifty years of politicians trying to argue why we should keep using fission plants.

So apparently Morrison is now saying schools shouldn't be able to kick students out for being gay. Must be seeing a big backlash.

BrigadierSensible posted:Here's a (probably stupid and lame) thought I just had: I think it's harder in Australia to portray yourself as apolitical due to preferences. Anyone who cares enough about politics to do it would likely be the type to recommend preferences and thus suddenly appear like any other party.

I would blow Dane Cook posted:Government 'should have opposed' motion It's almost a better piece of commentary this way. So they're saying that the government had previously discussed this, they all knew that voting for it was the wrong thing and would embolden racists, but when push came to shove and they got the order they did it anyway.

bell jar posted:Scott Morrison doesn't own the name Scott Morrison, it's notoriously hard to argue that the domain was registered in bad faith since the original registrant let the domain expire, and the domain was registered against a valid ABN owned by a sole trader. Since the domain isn't being used solely for reselling purposes and contains material relating to the domain name, it's going to be real hard for a complainant to convince a panel of this and get the domain ownership transferred. I really hope you're right.

The Dollop is touring Australia at the moment and when I went to their friday night show it was the history of Nauru from Europeans first encountering it to today. They just released the episode, it's brutal but worth a listen.
