AFAIK Vandstone is still on RadioNational Monday afternoons doing CounterPoint.

Luckily that show's been canned. Lasted way longer than it deserved, who the gently caress could stomach an hour of listening to someone like Vandstone?

In loving horrible news, inquest into NSW cops killing a kid after stopping him for wearing a hoodie on a 23 degree day continues.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-03-17/nsw-police-shot-western-sydney-man-bradley-balzan-inquest/103592578

Don't read this if you're already feeling a bit poo poo, because it's deeply loving sad.

Did I read right? Plain clothes police jump out of car and grab kid by the arm because he was acting "suspicious" (no further explanation needed) and shockingly he legs it back to the safety of his home. I mean "safety" jfc.

We need a police version of the Joe Hildebrand banner (you know the one).

This will be the first of many. Basically all unis are operating in an unsustainable mode - turns out years of corporatisation and lack of support from all sides of politics has ramifications.

Man they've hosed this country. Do they expect SportsBet to finance tertiary education and research.

Woolworths not content with gouging during a cost-of-living crisis they have to turn to wage theft too. Should have jailed that CEO for contempt when they had the chance.

:australia:

Edit: Also, lets stop calling wage-theft "underpaying". If someone walked out of a shop with stolen goods it wouldn't be considered as "underpaying" so gently caress these thieving businesses.

Could it have something to do with leadership? Maybe things like having a PM that required their wife to explain that rape is a bad thing?

Would it be possible for the Government to step in and explicitly set and control rent (through whatever formula), but just have some way of ensuring that people can afford a house and both live and save for the future. It can't go on without becoming a wrecking ball through hopes for any long term social stability. Even from the ultra-precious economic standpoint its loving poo poo up.

loving landlords/real estate agents won't be happy until they wring every drop of blood out.

Good job Albo and great timing.

Got up at the the rally against gender violence and told the crowd he wasn't invited to speak, organisers of the rally got pissed because they say was invited, Albo dismisses it as "comments on an emotional day".

There goes women being emotional again and not being able to remember what really happened! At a rally against gender violence (male violence that is).

loving. Idiot.

Gazing into my crystal ball and I see this will eventually segue into "tax-cuts will fix homelessness" and some slogan like "those that have a go will get a go, those that are aloof will get no roof".
