  • Lets make these all the new states. Abolish the 6 states (and 2 territories) we have and replace them with these.

  • Which is why they don't give you that button.

  • Australia offers Europe, Japan, other allies to sell stakes in its Critical Minerals Strategic Reserve to counter China's control over supply chains

    Jump

  • Chinese rare earth minerals are super cheap. Nobody would buy them if we charge more unless China cuts off supply, and that's a military anxiety rather than anything the market sees opportunity in.

  • We'd need to mine the rare earth metals at a loss. Nobody's getting anything back from mining them.

  • Rare earth metals aren't profitable. If the world wants ours, they should become shareholders.

  • The majority of Queensland councils are washing their hands of fluoridation under the watch of both sides of politics

    Jump

  • https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2828425

    It says fluoride levels of 2-4mg/L are correlated in a reduction of IQ. But technically the WHO has long since recommended a maximum of 1.5mg/L due to a risk of fluorosis which is a comparatively minor concern, though it’s hard to find information about what levels are considered safe beyond “recommendations”. Either way many places have higher than 2mg/L of fluoride in the tap water (due to natural content).

  • Specifically recent research showed that the safe levels of fluoride are lower than we thought. I don't remember the exact research, and I phrased it poorly because I didn't remember it. I'll edit it accordingly.

    Regarding whether dietary and toothpaste fluoride is sufficient, I'll defer to you on that.

  • Too much fluoride has recently been shown to be dangerous at lower concentrations than we thought, and fluoride can be gotten via diet or toothpaste. I personally think water should contain only the absolute bare minimum necessary fluoride, and even without fluoride in water there are other options.

  • Together: Australian film altered in China to make gay couple straight

  • Yes, but they don't have an excuse.

  • They seem to be under the misguided impression that this will resolve the birth rate crisis. The smut example may have an effect if it were part of a broader crackdown on porn, but targeting homosexuality won't resolve anything and just make people miserable.

    And China is a majority atheist country so the state really has no excuse for this blatant bigotry.

  • ‘We would reverse it’: Ley writes back to Republicans over recognition of Palestine

    Jump

  • It's "attempted conspiracy to commit treason" at this stage, which is pathetic and embarrassing but still evil. And as Norah said they may learn who Ley is after this, though that's predicated on Trump being able to read.

  • ‘We would reverse it’: Ley writes back to Republicans over recognition of Palestine

    Jump

  • With Coalition support. The CIA and LNP can do a lot together. Their default playbook is fomenting bad media coverage against the PM. Then they can use some quirk of the constitution like they did with Whitlam, or the CIA can pick out a replacement PM from within Labor like they did with Gillard.

  • ‘We would reverse it’: Ley writes back to Republicans over recognition of Palestine

    Jump

  • This is straight up treasonous. Writing directly to Trump (instead of speaking to the Australian public) to say she would reverse it is a not-so-subtle plea to get America to coup Albanese like Rudd and Whitlam.

    I didn't realize she was that evil. This is why we can't have nice things.

  • I completely forgot YouTube had an algorithm TBH. I use an extension to block all the recommendations.

    You're right though, assuming the legislation only bans users with accounts (can't be bothered double checking) that's the worst of both worlds. I guess there would be ways to create a subscription feed without an account and that may be able to circumvent the ban.

    EDIT: I can't find one.

  • SBS resists calls to join EU boycott of Eurovision 2026 if Israel allowed to compete | SBS | The Guardian

    Jump

  • Look, I'm deeply sympathetic to the idea of our political leaders being pragmatic so they can hold on to power and not be replaced by someone worse, but when the cost would be being kicked out of Eurovision then obviously they should go all in.
