I should clarify again that I'm making a distinction between the queer community and queer institutions, the latter of whom I propose are the well-to-do ones leading efforts at rapprochement with cops and business.

"My wealth will surely protect me!" from any kind of minority is always bleakly funny.

Some people never learn from history and are surprised as hell when they find the jackboot on their neck. "But I thought we were friends?"


I'm an old gay man with many run-ins with the cops growing up and my position is simple: if the cops want a spot in Pride they can _start_ with a formal apology over their historic (and continuing) abuses. And they would need to implement serious reform for how they treat minorities.

And that's an absolute minimum for most LGBTQIA+ people I know to even begin to be willing to consider starting a dialogue on their inclusion. Well, for anyone besides the Australian versions of Three Olives that is.


Cops want in? They can loving earn it.

From what I remember Latham was well known as a maniac even by the time he ran as Labor leader, and I suspect he basically only ended up in that position because nobody else wanted the job, or at least could even pretend they were trying to win.

That said I'm pretty sure the brainworms got worse and worse over time, possibly from untreated mental illness and then the inevitable spiral into American right wing indoctrination.

Industrial Relations commission is very very mad at WA Nurses for striking.

Nurses vote to strike, commission tells them 24 hours before they're not allowed to, and they say gently caress you and strike anyway. WA nurses are the best, good on them and hopefully they tear down the IRC completely and reinstate our ability to loving strike in this country.

Can the IRC levy jail time?

If not, the nurses should just keep ignoring it until they win.

I grew up in the 70s and remember there being so many strikes. If you look at all the benefits and safety and good conditions we have today, so many of them stem from that period. So naturally, successive government spent that last 40 years doing everything they could to return the power to capital at the expense of the workers.

The IRC was created to destroy the union movement in Australia, so it's only fair a union destroys it.

There was actually a private safety and rescue group back in the 80s, really ground breaking stuff. They even had the only multi-person barometric chamber in the southern hemisphere.

Then it turned out the guy in charge was siphoning all the money into his own bank account and everything collapsed, because it was the 80s and that's just what famous Australian businessmen did.
