also happy new year auspol, it's going to be worse than this year
I wish I could say thanks for the sarcastic quip but considering where we are from 12 months ago I would have to say this is a positive take on the situation.

I woke up to the news of the lockdown. I had plans for the weekend but who cares?

My sister's boyfriend went early shopping and by the time he left coles at 7.30am the carpark was jammed and the line of traffic was 100 meters out the enterance.

One of the more horrible parts for me is that after this woman was raped, she was called into the very room where she was raped, (the minister's office), to discuss her allegations. Once again reliving her trauma.
I can't seem to find this mentioned anywhere. Very horrible if true.

It's funny but I am going to hold out my opinion on whether it will be a net good. If google blocked news.com.au from being indexed and seached that would be great.

No question mark.

I haven't seen CM salespeople in shopping malls recently. I hope that shitrag is hemorrhaging money.

So it's a current Minister but Justice cannot be served because the victim is dead?

Not Dutton I take it, he would have been in QLD at the time?
It would be difficult to guess with the current details. SA and NSW police being involved could me anything from the residence of the offender to where the offence took place. The only thing we can all agree on is that the Liberals won't lose any votes over this.

Comstar made their first post in ausgbs last night about Brisbane probably winding up with a full Easter weekend lockdown and I told him to gently caress off but tbh I'm looking at the new contact tracing info this morning and it doesn't look great

Well they are asking for people to get tested if they have been to at risk places from 11 days ago so we might be stuffed.

There is a strong argument that it shouldn't either.

Easily actually.

Yes, the brilliant Scotty From Marketing will handle such a situation with the tact and nuance we have come to expect and make the situation better. Most Muslim states and their leaders don't give a poo poo about human rights, especially the human rights of Muslims and especially the human rights of Palestinians.

A slightly different flavour for politics. There is a youtube channel called Caspian Report and it made a video 'How Australia Cheated East Timor Of Its Oil'. A decent look on the subject. Australia fucks over its defenceless neighbour and in the process hosed over itself.
