  • The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation.

  • We won't. Our government is still trying to pretend that everything is fine and normal in the US despite winning the recent election in a massive landslide based partially on anti-Trumpism sentiment. I'd love to see Albo prove me wrong but I'm not holding my breath.

  • Nah mate it's fine. Everything is totally cool and normal in the US, mate. The US is still a totally reliable ally and we're definitely going to get those submarines that we're paying billions for with no guarantees that we'll actually get any. Nothing to worry about, mate.

  • 9News is right leaning and has always sanewashed everything to do with Trump, along with the rest of the Australian mainstream media (which is all right wing, even the supposedly lefty ABC).

  • I had a colonoscopy years ago when I was engaged to my now-wife, and when I woke up from the anaesthesia I just babbled about how much I loved her. At no point did I come remotely close to doing a Nazi salute.

  • Those particular drums are usually used for solids, but with a plastic liner inside they can be used for viscous liquids as well. I wouldn't fill one with a low viscosity liquid, you'd want a plastic or metal drum for that.

    Those drums in the picture are really badly filled as well, I'd have rejected them if they'd turned up to the warehouse looking like that back when I was doing QA.

  • This led to a very confusing discussion in the replies about the varying fares and systems of public transit in the Oakland-San Francisco area

    Jump

  • The Sydney airport line uses the exact same rolling stock as the rest of the suburban network (and the airport stations are just stops along the line, not their own dedicated line). The surcharge is just revenue raising because the train is the easiest way to get to the airport, so fuck you, pay up.

  • Attacks on Australia’s preferential voting system are ludicrous. We can be proud of it | Kevin Bonham

    Jump

  • That's fair, I was talking specifically about Melbourne. However, the redistribution doesn't account for the swing against Bandt. The ABC's analysis put his first preference vote nominally on ~45% after redistribution, but he only got 39.5% (and I believe their swing figures are adjusted for redistributions, which is why they show Bennelong as a Labor gain from the Liberals even though Labor previously held the seat).

    You're completely right about Brisbane though (and the same thing nearly happened in Ryan). The swing against the Greens alone wouldn't have dropped them out of the 2CP, the massive surge for Labor at the expense of the LNP was what did it.

  • Attacks on Australia’s preferential voting system are ludicrous. We can be proud of it | Kevin Bonham

    Jump

  • The precipitous drop in support for the LNP mostly went to help Labor (side note: for weird historical reasons, our party spells its name the American way, despite in every other context in Australia, labour having a u), which helped them finish ahead of the Greens on 3-candidate-preferred, which meant the Greens got eliminated and their votes went to support a Labor victory. In essence, a drop in support for the right-wing candidates resulted in a centrist candidate winning where previously a left-wing candidate had won. That's an aberrant result that doesn't really match anyone's intuition of how elections should work. And it's one reason a proportional system would be better.

    This isn't what happened though. Bandt had a 5.2% swing away from him on first preferences which seems to have gone largely to Labor, who had a 5.7% swing towards them. The Liberals actually had a miniscule swing of 0.2% towards them. That swing away from the Greens and towards Labor pushed them ahead of the Libs into the 2 candidate preferred count, where they won on Liberal preferences.

  • My password is not accepted because it is too long

  • It also says "must not be the same as any of the last seven passwords used" so I can only take "no repeats" to mean no repeated characters.

    Requiring passwords to be exactly 8 characters is especially ridiculous because even if they're cheaping out on bytes of storage, that's completely cancelled out by the fact that they're storing the last seven passwords used.

  • To think that the reason we have preferential voting is because it benefitted the conservative parties of the day...

  • Labor wins Australian Federal election

    Jump

  • At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.

    This makes it sound like the result arrived extraordinarily quickly (which, in fairness, it was a very fast call) but elections here are decided entirely in the eastern states. It was obvious that the swing was on and Labor were clear favourites to win before polls in WA even closed.

    By far the best news of the night though was that Temu Trump (Peter Dutton) lost his own seat just like Pierre Polievre in Canada several days ago. That makes him the first opposition leader to lose their own seat at a federal election.
