was he really the guy behind poo poo Towns of Australia or was that just a throwaway comment

Old post but he was reposting them (from Facebook I guess) nobody thought he was behind them

in case you were wondering whose fault it is the liberals fail to preselect women in winnable seats:

it's the gays

The gays? I knew it was them. Even when it was the misogynists I knew it was them.

If you can, go to Aldi instead. Their Blackstone brand of not-Kettle-and-definitely-not-Red-Rock-Deli-either of flavoured chips tastes basically the same (and I'm pretty sure is made in the same factory), and they're usually $3.50 for a 200g packet.

Hell yeah, also +1 for Aldi's Sprinters Salt and Vinegar

Also, good luck to Linda Reynolds defamation suit against Brittany Higgins. Suing a victim of rape, that was in your office, and that you called a lying cow. Trifecta of self-owns please.


The Guardian had a list of the cases arising from this whole shitshow and the amount of "Reynolds v" was impressive

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.

Greens have called for a rent freeze for two years previously, didn't get through. Government can certainly put some controls on rents, Labor and LNP don't want to

Saw a printed out A4 sign the other day saying CASH IS KING and it's like, why do these motherfuckers think anyone is going to get rid of hard currency. WHY

Because the more they can remove hard currency the more people can insert themselves as middlemen charging fees for transactions.

Our entire banking system is backed by hard currency/gold/whatever and that's not going away any time soon

Cash is good for not paying taxes I suppose, but I still have to pay for a bank account and electronic is cheaper than paying $2 to withdraw cash.

For sure

We haven't been on the gold standard for more than 100 years and IIRC the figure of money that actually exists as physical cash in any industrialised country is like 10%

Uhhh, I'm not a real bank head so I can be corrected here, but I'm pretty sure it isn't and hasn't been for quite a while. Even the RBA's gold reserves haven't changed since '97.

Wow I'm really out of touch, I thought Die Hard 3 was a documentary, clearly

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.

This is dumb as gently caress on Albanese's part but if Morrison or Abbott were still in charge they wouldn't rock up at all, so progress?

*edit* some of the useful stuff they could legislate could end up changing the role of the cops and maybe they're scared off pissing them off

That is 100% where any conversation on this stuff should START. Women aren't comfortable going to the police for numerous reasons, including multiple cases of cops breaching restraining orders to let violent ex-partners know where they're currently living.
