Karvelas asked if this is an appropriate tactic to take at this time as the NSW government is still working to control the Covid-19 pandemic and has been called, by former Coalition leaders, the best government in Australia.

Joyce:

What does that have to do with koalas?

Karvelas:

Quite a lot! I will help you out. Obviously there is a crisis going on. Is blowing up the government during one of the biggest crises we have seen in this country appropriate, good timing?

Joyce:

No! They are blowing up their own government because they had ample warning to deal with this issue, ample ... This issue has been under the surface; they have known all about it, and now they say this is a big surprise. The only big surprise is that you didn’t deal with this way back, and the only big surprise, don’t worry about the Nationals, keep pushing and pushing and bluffing, they will always fold.

I am glad they are not folding. No, you are not treating us with respect. You think we have to fold because we have to, when you put a guilt trip, be the best government. The best government would have dealt with this a long time ago, and the best government would have realised it should not have come to this point, and the best government would have brought into the room (planning) minister Rob Stokes and said, ‘Mate, forget it, drop the idea, stop it, it will cause more harm than it is worth.’ That is what the best government would have done.

Fart on thread, Beet OP.

DJP was arrested by police in Kalgoorlie about 1pm on 8 January 2011 for failing to obey a move-on notice. He was intoxicated and became aggressive during check in, and repeatedly told police he was "a sick man". Police did not complete the required welfare questions but placed DJP into a high-risk category due to his alcoholism and chronic health issues. At 3.30pm he fell over in the cell and died following a seizure. His family suggested the seizure could have been caused by an attack on him by two white teenagers, which had been put on YouTube three weeks earlier.

Set in the distant future amidst a feudal interstellar society in which various noble houses control planetary fiefs, kew tells the story of young Tim Smith, whose family accepts the stewardship of the planet kew. While the planet is an inhospitable and sparsely populated desert wasteland, it is the only source of Bat, or "the spice", a drug that extends life and enhances mental abilities. Bat is also necessary for space navigation, which requires a kind of multidimensional awareness and foresight that only the drug provides. As Bat can only be produced on Kew, control of the planet is thus a coveted and dangerous undertaking. The story explores the multi-layered interactions of politics, religion, ecology, technology, and human emotion, as the factions of the empire confront each other in a struggle for the control of Kew and its spice.

THAT'S SPECTACULAR.
So what's the deal with Pally and Scomo and this QLD border-funeral business? It's a month away from the state election so it's a little hard to decipher what actually happened and what's Murdoch mud-slinging.

First impressions of Spirited Away from someone who's interests do not come close to Anime.

For context, I am a 6ft 260lb Strongman who likes Quentin Tarantino films, drinking good quality IPAs, Bourbon and Rum. I like tech-metal and heavy electronic music. I have never had any interest in anime before, it has never appealed to.me, nothing about it.

I had surgery on my arm last week and am signed off work for the next 6 weeks, can go for a walk, but can't drive. I cannot use my right hand so am fairly limited in what I can do.

Today, I decided to out my prejudice behind me and give Spirited Away a go, I had heard of Studio Ghibli and thought, 'why not?'

I have to admit, I absolutely loved it. I had no idea what to expect, but I love how the story evolves constantly. The whole film escalates continuously in a dream like world that kept my attention the entire way through. I'm prone to drifting during films, but I was watching properly the whole time.

The plot, characters, storyline and setting kept expanding, so rapidly, that before long I wasn't concentrating on the 'why's', just accepting what was happening for the sake of an adventure film and going with it.

Don't get me wrong, I have so many questions that I'm happy to leave unanswered, such as:

Why are they all animals?

Why are there some humans that noone is questioning?

What is No-Face?

Why does the bathouse business need to exist?

Why is there suddenly a Geisha house?

Why is there a disproportionate amount of frogs?

Why does the bird lady look identical to Margaret Thatcher?

Why is No-Face eating everybody?

What on earth is this giant baby doing?

Why does Alice in Wonderland look like a day trip to the beach after this?

Why does No-Face go completely back to normal after leaving?

I think No-Face is absolutely fantastic for reasons unbeknownst to me.

I was dreading that there would be a 'she woke up and it was all a dream' ending and was glad to see there was a subtler, more clever ending to it than that.

Highly impressed, never thought I'd watch an anime film yet alone enjoy it.

Scomo/murdoch going for round 2 after pulling similar poo poo two weeks ago. They claimed a pregnant woman lost her child because of QLD border restrictions. It turns out NSW officials misinformed her (there is a medical emergency exemption to get around the border rules) and she never actually attempted to cross the border. LNP are just straight dogshit people so they have been trying to use this to convince qlders that the border restrictions are bad.

I wouldn't be surprised if the funeral stuff turns out to be half-truths as well. Regardless, if we have a covid outbreak there is going to be a lot more funerals that people can't attend.

Finishing the game with everyone else's continues
It's a bit sad but at the same time funerals have been under pretty intense restrictions with limited numbers of people being able to attend at a time before and it was just accepted as a part of the things we had to do. We had goddamn cops busting into them and checking everyone out to the point that mourners left due to the sheer intimidation factor but now it's a bridge too far.

Do you have a source for that bit? Hadn't heard it.

E: also absolutely want to shove Scotty in a blender. "It's not about politicians. It's not about elections. The only thing that matters today is that Sarah can be with her 11-year-old sister and her mother while they mourn the passing of their father and husband at Mt Gravatt today."
