I don’t identify with it at all. 6-8 years maybe I could agree with

good morals in kids

I think you mean basic human decency

This sounds like a really good policy idea, especially if you consider the positives:

• Gambling lobby has more money for LNP donations

Vs the very very insignificant negatives:

• More bankruptcy
• More suicides
• More unemployed poor people to villanise

Absolutely genius, can’t wait for their other great policies like:

• making preferencing optional so it’s easier for them to win (which they announced after winning the BCC election which has optional preferencing),
• rolling over like a dog for a belly rub to allow nuclear to be built in QLD to satisfy Peter Dutton’s wet dreams,
• naming a railway line after Queen Elizabeth ii (not entirely unreasonable but there are probably people that did more for QLD to name it after),
• giving those poor defenceless, internationally-owned coal miners a break, because they have spent too much saturating our advertising with cries for help and that money could be much better spent on LNP donations
• discontinuing the government’s renewables projects to erode confidence from the sector, afterall they don’t donate to the LNP

I mod some of the communities there and having reports arrive 8 days late for some rule violations 8 days ago by Lemmy.world users is annoying

I don’t like it when they interview celebrities on 7:30. What? Is there no news that needs an in-depth look?

If the supreme court is going to make political decisions and try to interpret the laws in such a way to support those decisions then they should be an elected body.

The benefit is more so for other users on other instances. Lemmy.world in particular is causing a lot of trouble for small instances hosted outside Europe and North America. For example in aussie.zone local communities comments are taking 8 days to arrive from Lemmy.world because of the latency and how Lemmy processes federation serially. Hopefully in an upcoming release we’ll get parallel processing of federated activities making this less of a problem

I find it really disappointing that Scomo and David Hurley got away with it as well, especially David Hurley. This showed that he was completely unfit for the job

He should turn this supreme court decision against Trump

Imagine running for 576 days and finishing in Brisbane

Centre of democracy my arse

Unlike most media outlets I don’t read political press releases

That’s how I know them, I’ve never actually been there but they are right on the side of the Pacific motorway on the Gold Coast so a lot of people would know it like that.

doctor who?

Exactly and that is something a lot of Pro-Israel people try to obscure

I accidentally went 18 seconds and got a microSD, just be careful of microwaves with different power for the correct parameters, but this is known to work

Labor’s position on Palestine is a bit complex. They are actually Pro-Palestine, Australia just voted at the UN in support of a motion to make the PA a member. They’re trying to play the risky game of appeasing both parts of the community, as they have seats in both Islamic and Jewish dense regions. They might lose both sides playing this game though. For whatever reason the Pro-Israel voice seems to have more influence while the Pro-Palestine voice gets tossed to the side. This is weird in the context of the 2021 census:

Which marks the Jewish section of the community as near negligible, but what really matters is what the rest of the community thinks. Murdoch has chosen Israel, and thus have the LNP. The Greens have chosen Palestine. Personally if you don’t support the coexistence of Israel and Palestine, I’d vote for either of those parties.

We should also note that Australia has very little power to influence international events and the LNP are clearly using this as a distraction to win votes due to their woeful domestic policies. But it is morally reprehensible to not try for a resolution. Israel do nothing for us and we should recognise Netanyahu as a terrorist alongside HAMAS

Yes that one

It is depressing studying science only to realise that whatever research you do to improve the world you will be ignored unless someone can profit from it. Truly an advanced civilisation

Looking at the article the insect repellant bottle looks a lot like a juice bottle, but still
