Given the experience with Gough Whitlam, the consequences would (presumably) be a near-immediate LNP government that would backtrack on any conviction we demonstrate and further make things worse not just for Palestine but for Australians.
Alternatively the consequences could be being cut out of military supply chains in the future but like … pretty sure America wants to do that anyway so I don’t know if the government would hold out on war-crime sanctions based on that.
It is. EV’s are just slightly less bad cars. They still cause potholes, traffic, high housing costs, noise, and pedestrian deaths.
We’d probably better be able to rely on the Chinese ones during WW3 than the American ones.
If, hypothetically, VPNs and Gary’s mod don’t work, and our favourite channels don’t move elsewhere … how many of us would be willing to hand over our ID to maintain access to YouTube?
I would never join the ADF, not just because I use adblock. Joining the Australian military is joining the American military in all it’s war crimes.
Higher than I thought honestly. I thought it was like 1/4 murders that were solved.
Were they ever solved?
Perhaps these kinds of degrees should require work experience (or a disability) as a prerequisite. If they’re using taxpayer dollars to get a degree they don’t need, they should prove they would have the social and adulting skills to be employable in the fields in question.
There’s a legitimate argument to be had about privacy vs. safety. The police need information to investigate crimes, complete privacy means all crimes go unsolved. It should absolutely require the police put in some legwork, law enforcement shouldn’t be able to be automated, but where in-between the two extremes you draw the line on this issue is subjective.
I don’t want the government to have all the information, and I do want the government to be able to enforce the law. VPN’s are probably where I draw the line, private access to information is a red-line for me. Signal chat is a grey area for me, because it is also a means of accessing information but privacy of association is not something I consider to be important enough for the risks to public safety.
I’d just ban the algorithm and comments section of YouTube. Because kids are 100% gonna get a VPN to access YouTube or die trying.
What is this obsession with HECS debt. We’re not America, our student debt system is extremely reasonable and of basically no concern. The only reason it ever causes problems is because our housing market is an absolute nightmare but that’s true for everyone HECS debt or not.
I read that title as “facial transplant”.
I will be taking no further questions.
The electricity grid may not yet be able to handle the sudden influx in demand that replacing them would cause. Once electricity prices come down due to renewables naturally it would make no economic sense to use a wood-heater anyway.
I just want existing accounts grandfathered in. These kinds of bans are more effective at reducing uptake than getting people off the platforms, and more importantly I don’t want to do more paperwork.
I can’t find my source for the fact that existing accounts won’t be grandfathered in.
He did not view Israel as a foreign government
Totally reasonable I guess. Israel owns America, and America owns us. Wild to think that’s okay though even if it is technically reasonable.
Bicycle licensing systems are horrible. They discourage riding and push people to unhealthy and dangerous forms of transport like cars and they give kids bad interactions with police (or in America, gets them sent to El Salvador).
That said, e-bike licensing for under-18’s makes a lot of sense. If it applied to all bikes, or to all ages then I’d take issue with it. But under-18’s on e-bikes should probably be licensed.
I do take issue with it being a digital-only license. Kids should not have smartphones in the first place, and just imagine losing access to your driver’s license because you forgot to charge your phone (or your mobile data plan lapsed).
Maybe to start with America can stop doing “economic coercion against democracies” itself.
A carbon tax is political suicide now, thanks Bandt.
Maybe don’t run laps around Australia in warships then.
If the CIA whispers into the the Green’s ear “it’s not good enough” or something they could probably convince the Greens to topple Labor’s government. The Greens are really dumb.
