"Abolish police" "Abolish property" "Abolish money" "Abolish work" all cowardly half measures. Abolish time.

Usually it's regular old homo/transphobia

It's called "paraphrasing".

"The SU&SD team don't tend to like Stonemaier games" isn't a "stat", it's an expression of subjective personal experiences, like all reviews are - something they're extremely open about.

Shooting the shit with Opa about invading Russia

My conspiracy theory is that reviews are written by single people with "opinions" and "tastes" rather than an aggregate mass of users giving star ratings, and that sometimes people don't like the same things.

You have selected "my party", referring to Your Party. The correct answer is "your party", referring to My Party.

Greyhound racing industry going mask off

Unsurprising given they're a greyhound racing industry front designed to siphon votes from the AJP

I get this with academic articles I read but never cited, too

Can't wait to hear the antisemitism commissioner's no doubt extremely strong denunciation of this

Feel like the "proportionality" section of the reasonableness test creates some pretty strong arguments - hard to make the case "banning all trans women from women's bathrooms" is a proportionate response to whatever moral panic about "women's safety" when there's been zero incidents whatsoever

Seems pretty open and shut that it would, if not under the gender identity provisions of s5A (particularly inre NB people) then certainly under the intersex status provisions of s5B (I can't think of a way they'd write trans bathroom laws that wouldn't be indirect discrim against intersex people)

It's deeply disappointing that they're probably all just boring public service suit types. "Crown bread inspector" is a job with nearly a thousand years of pedigree, they should have way more weird holdover traditions. Give em all swords or something.

"Being a white ethnostate" was literally a founding principle of Australia

"John Marshall has made his decision, now let him enforce it."

He'd wear it even if it carried the death penalty, have you seen his tan line

"First they came for the alleged violent criminals" is unfortunately a hard sell

I would go so far as to suggest the choice of target is mainly to make it more politically difficult to oppose these changes, and the scope of the power will be progressively expanded after it gets through. Pretending to keep women safe is just a bonus.

Yeah, make a whole podcast about Cool People Who Did Cool Stuff - hang on I'm being handed a note

Don't think Franklin "Internment Camps" Roosevelt is really a shining example of equality and human rights

Your Party’s Messy Public Breakdown Shows It Has Big Questions to Answer | Novara Media Jeremy Corbyn relaunched the new left party this week, but the chaotic and embarrassing way that key figures have acted up until this point raises concerns about its future prospects, argues Archie Wo...

Discreet: secret, quiet, subtle.
Discrete: individual, separate, independent.
The post is about how police are a political lobbying force in their own right, not the apolitical public servants they are often portrayed as.

I think this is universally true of any people who claim to be inherently freedom loving. We Australians love to pretend we have an anti authoritarian national spirit but in reality we're a nation of cops.

Because when you burn down a house and nobody ever rebuilds it, someone is still forced to live in the ashes

The unfortunate thing about having actual, consistent ethics is it turns out even scumbags have rights and should be treated fairly!

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see the IDF boarding actions reported as "interceptions". Is this shit not straight up piracy? Did we not agree this was a crime against all nations literally hundreds of years ago??
