bucky we need less mooring places for super yachts not more

also weird, perth also has a place called garden island also used by the navy

I feel like every coastal city has a Garden Island

The one in Adelaide is near where the AUKUS stuff will probably never get built but all the shipwrecks are cool https://www.environment.sa.gov.au/topics/heritage/maritime-heritage/visiting-maritime-heritage-places/shipwreck-trails/garden-island

A garden it ain’t though

Clive Palmer unveils Titanic II design, promises 'authentic Titanic experience'

I'd believe it.

This is the third time he’s unveiled this project. It will probably be equally as successful as that other vessel named after the Titanic (the Titan submersible), assuming it ever gets built

quote:

Peter Dutton has drawn widespread criticism, including from one of his own MPs, for comparing the 1996 mass murder of 35 people at Port Arthur to a pro-Palestine protest at the Sydney Opera House.

Tasmanian Liberal backbencher Bridget Archer labelled Dutton’s comments “incredibly disrespectful” and “wholly inappropriate”.

The MP for Bass, who is known for speaking out against the party line on important issues, told Guardian Australia the example used in the opposition leader’s speech on Wednesday night went too far.

“[Dutton’s comments were] incredibly disrespectful to the victims and survivors of one of the darkest days in our nation’s history and a wholly inappropriate and somewhat bizarre comparison,” Archer said.

The Liberal leader then compared the 9 October pro-Palestine protests outside the Sydney Opera House last year to the Port Arthur massacre, which led to tougher gun laws in Australia, while blaming Labor politicians’ “moral equivalence” for rising antisemitism.

“While no one was killed during the 9 October protests, the events at the Sydney Opera House were akin to a Port Arthur moment in terms of their social significance,” Dutton said.

 Regarding the finger thing

The alleged attacker severed his own finger during the attack, Minns said, after earlier questions of whether his finger was cut in retaliation.

The NSW premier, Chris Minns, has sacked upper house MP Anthony D’Adam from his parliamentary secretary role after comments made in parliament on Wednesday night criticising police handling of pro-Palestinian protesters.

D’Adam told the parliament that police had used“ fear and intimidation” on three protesters who were arrested at a “die-in” protest event in March in the Sydney CBD.

In a statement on Thursday afternoon, Minns said he had revoked D’Adam’s role as the Parliamentary Secretary for Customer Service and Digital Government, Parliamentary Secretary for Emergency Services, and Parliamentary Secretary for Youth Justice. He said it was done because D’Adam refused to withdraw his comments:

Mr D’Adam did not raise his criticisms about NSW Police with me, the Police Minister or with NSW Police. The first we heard about it was his speech in Parliament.
Mr D’Adam’s comments do not represent the views of the NSW Government.
I have formed the view that his actions and criticisms of the NSW Police, without at any time speaking with colleagues to convey his concerns in relation to this matter, are incompatible with his position as Parliamentary Secretary.
The NSW Police Force does an incredible and extremely difficult job and they have the full support of the NSW Government.

Piss Binns loves the cops so much
