Walking disappointment/corporate bootlicker Matt Canavan has opened his stupid loving mouth again:

Seems you dinguses and especially TheLastRoboKy missed what I thought was the obvious macabre irony of Canavan's tweet so I'll just regurgitate what I posted on Twitter:

Also my take re the Rio exec sackings is that they're probably just using the sacred site demolishing as an excuse to carry-out whatever machinations they've planned. Not to diminish the absolute horror of obliterating a sacred cultural site but it happened months ago and the media had already forgotten about it. They'd effectively gotten away with it what with the government having no mechanism or willingness to sanction them they only had to worry about the PR poo poo (Unless I've completely missed some facet of it please tell me if I have).

If you'd like I can run interference. I have very strong opinions re the Perth 2020 Mayoral race, specifically re that bootlicker Basil Zempilas.

Basil is a greasy dirtbag. If you have any specific stories about him I am all ears and can probably pass them on to a journo who is thinking about writing a story on him.

I wish I did, dude is a scum bag and his "MORE COPS" platform is garbage.

An indigenous man has had his license suspended after five police were found dead by the side of the road last September. This is the second time that the man's vehicle has been involved with the accidental deaths of multiple police officers. The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, claims that both times he was listening to "gently caress The Police" on the radio to the point of distraction and didn't realise his car was swerving over multiple lanes of traffic to impact upon the deceased. The judge has suspended his license for two weeks and advised more caution in future.

Seems a bit far fetched when you flip it, hey

Surprised they didn't do it sooner seeing as their test-case with the Uighurs worked and resulted in zero actual international action.

Didn't see this yet but the government is intending to roll out facial recognition for government services like enrolling to vote, getting a tax file number, and of course for use with welfare.

That's pretty cooked in general but especially so for getting a TFN as minors can apply for them (I got mine in high-school as part of some program where the school helps everyone in Year 10 to apply for one).

Re-watched Pacific Rim last night and came to the conclusion that in the timeline of the film AU has clearly been governed by a multi-decade succession of Labor federal governments because there's no way in hell a Liberal government would call a Jaeger "Striker Eureka." A Liberal government Jaeger probably would have been named "JOBS & GROWTH" or "Boat Stoppa."

Also the Ruby Princess makes an appearance in the second film:

Yeah, you and everyone else who saw the second film.

Alternative Liberal gov Jaeger name: "LAYBAH'S MESS, MISTAH SPEEKAH" or just "Labor's Mess"

Labor would name the giant robot like Sensible Coal and Gas or some poo poo, not after actual industrial action

Yeah I didn't say it's what they would name it, rather that the name is unimaginable under a Liberal government. I recall from recent history that the ABCC tried to actually ban the Eureka flag from construction sites: https://vic.cfmeu.org/news/nothing-has-changed-abcc-eureka-flag-banned-construction-sites

Maybe the Pacific Rim canon is a quarter-century of Greens majority rule?

Found the flight and plane responsible but it's just registered to some holding company: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/VHIXN/history/20201115/0004Z/YSBK/YSBK

Edit: lol that would have cost around $3-4k what a waste of money.

Oh yeah I forgot to whinge about Michael McCormack's appearance on ABC News in the morning: he was meant to be talking about the outbreak in SA and yet he still managed to go out of his way to commend Gladys by name for her response which he then followed with a less enthusiastic "and SA have responded very well themselves" lol what a prick. Don't think he mentioned the premier of SA by name even once.

Telstra basically have no customer service at the moment either. No matter what path I follow in their automatic question gauntlet, it eventually tells me to download the app and hangs up on me.

If you're in one of those IVR hell-mazes mashing the # key usually dumps you to a person.

That’s my usual go to, but Telstra’s just indifferently keeps talking at you while you mash the # button

I was working for Telstra (Bigpond wireless broadband helldesk) when they first started rolling-out the IVR system. We used to tell customers they can mash # to bypass it which is maybe why it doesn't work today lol
