Just pump terrifying amounts of money into the CSIRO and manufacturing with a view to automate 50% of farm output and make that one of many nation building projects to ride out roni with public spending and create a heap of jobs. Like if we had a halfway efficient manufacturing sector for that kind of difficult task it would be very good for us near and long term.

It would be literally free in the end as well since credit costs next to nothing.

It's pretty funny when you consider English has no official legal status as national language of Australia and the correct answer is factually wrong

All our poo poo is written in a lot of languages tho, the point of not having a de Jure national language is that there's no functional reason to actually identify and specific language as a national language.

This is fair enough. Nobody needs to be doing anything "helpful" on a dumb comedy forum. I just get annoyed on principle when people react to actual, real issues with inane hyperbole like, say, implying that the Brisbane coroner is conspiring with police to cover up a deliberate murder.

Given that it's an institutional problem, what I mean by "unhelpful" is that it draws a false dichotomy by suggesting that all Aboriginal deaths in custody are the result of direct malice rather than indirect malice, callousness or carelessness because Aboriginal lives are viewed as less important (on the part of both police and a social system which in the first place makes them come into contact with the CJS far more often).

This is precisely what allows various officials to get away with mealy-mouthed talk about deaths of "natural causes." The failing being examined at the moment is that she wasn't checked on hourly - as though everything would have been fine if she were. It allows society to dodge the broader question of why she was in that cell in the first place, why she wasn't with family or friends when she had a health crisis. That's what people should focus on. It's enough of an outrage without speculating that police murdered her.

And yeah, yeah, I know, who cares because it was a throwaway line and this is a private forum nobody's actually reading anyway.

I understood what you intended and I agree with what you've said here. Turning everything into a throwaway most extreme case isn't useful, but I guess it's super fun to post mad hyperbole in a pocket of something awful.

So the epidemiologist said one in a million, based on 5 cases (a day, presumably)...the AFR then compares that to the chance of getting struck by lightning which it claims is one in 12,000, meaning there should be 416 people struck by lightning every day in Melbourne?

Like, I’m not convinced by the necessity of masks with no community transmission, but comparing a chance of something happening daily to the chance of something happening over your lifetime is pathetic journalism.

At least the lightning has an actual chance if killing you, unlike the 1 in 20 million chance of dying to covid if you aren't an invalid.
