  • Dibber dobber Donny: Trump tattletales on TV reporter

    Jump

  • I have been deeply opposed to the social media laws. Then I went back deleting my posts on another site and noticed I supported such a policy. I understand the reasoning behind it and I just was angry at the prospect of needing to give Google my ID.

    However, including YouTube in the ban is beyond ridiculous. May as well ban Netflix and Sky News at that point.

    Then there's the new age-checking on porn which is absolutely wild. Firstly it was passed without new legislation, but more importantly it is deeply invasive in how it's to be enforced. I see the reasoning behind this too, but it's as if they're trying to stop even determined users from accessing it and once you get to that level it's crossing a line.

  • They're the only bank in my town that isn't for-profit. I just need the initiative.

    Come to think of it I don't actually care about my issue with Visa and Mastercard very much. I should just ignore it and go with the better bank.

  • I should really change to Bank Australia at some point, but I can't be bothered unless Visa cracks and allows LGBT content again (currently on Mastercard).

  • This is REALLY bad. It'll require your age be verified by your ISP, operating system, email, search engine, and the site you visit. Fines of up to $49.5 million if violated.

    If this is real, it is straight-up totalitarian.

    That leaves India as the most "liberal and democratic" of the nuclear armed countries in the coming decade. Followed by Cuba.

  • Australia is very limited in how it can move away from America, because the Coalition enthusiastically sells us out to them any chance they can get.

    Albanese, by repairing our relationship with China, is putting us on the right track. He can't get out of AUKUS and there may even be advantages to that such as giving Albanese Trump's ear and allowing him to potentially stop a war with China. I don't pay enough attention to what Albanese is doing behind the scenes to strengthen Australia's sovereignty.

    You're technically correct. I assumed this one amendment was passed in February and was to correct a typo, but looking closer it was in September. Still, this amendment was to basically move forward a report on the outcomes. I wouldn't call that greatly improved, hell I'd say it makes it worse since it will turn the HAFF into a political football when the report shows barely any improvements due to the delays caused by the Greens (6 months + uncertainty) and the long-term nature of the HAFF.

  • The HAFF was passed unamended after being delayed for 6 months, and the actual housing it was supposed to build was delayed further by the uncertainty. The Greens blocked it with ridiculous demands like increasing the funding to address housing stress instead of the homelessness it was supposed to, an unconstitutional national rent-freeze, or reforms to capital gains and negative gearing that lost Labor two elections before they promised not to change it.

    The Greens see Labor's pragmatism as evil. They see Labor as fundamentally evil just like the LNP.

    As for Palestine. Yes it was popular and yes it was just symbolic, but it has the potential to piss off the Americans and doing that consumes a lot of domestic political capital (because of American influence in Australia). Australia is more subordinate to America than most thanks to the LNP being willing and eager to sell out our sovereignty, we can't really break rank alone on Israel, never mind how many time's Labor has had to publicly condemn Hamas making cutting off military aid to Israel a domestic political nightmare.

    Once Ireland stops arms trade with Israel, then Australia could plausibly consider doing it. Until then it would 100% get Labor couped.

  • I wouldn't call the senate "extremely" friendly. I wouldn't even call it "friendly" after the HAFF.

    As for the rest, I think recognizing Palestine took up far more political capital than you think. The Americans OWN us, and have a history of couping Labor leaders that step out of line even for minor transgressions.

  • The idea is to make it seem like they're doing nothing, doesn't matter whether that's from a progressive or conservative perspective. Take for example how the press basically ignored all the good Queensland Labor managed to do before they were ousted.

  • Who is telling the truth?

    Jump

  • I'd say the mere act of expressing these views publicly, possibly intimidating minorities, says enough about someone's character.

    And the protests were organized by neo-nazis IIRC.
