It was literally the last question in what was already a 10 minute interview, the "good on ya PM" sounded more like "good bye thanks for your time see you later" than an explicit agreement with the sentiment the PM had just expressed (which was "and above all else, let the parents do what they think is in the best interest of their children").

Has he done anything else that makes him a shithead?
Karl Stefanovic is a breakfast TV presenter who is most famous for being shitfaced on air a lot.

Stefanovic has said atleast one stupid/ignorant thing so you must hate him if you wish to remain ideologically pure.
Alternatively, you could grow up and realise that you can like a thing that a person did without actually liking the person themselves. For example, the One Suit For A Year trick was a good one and I'm glad that he did it, but the persona he tries very hard to push is "Hi I'm Karl, yer stereotypical Aussie larrikin bloke, me missus has got a great arse, I drink a fuckload of piss, I'm Karl Stefanovic, let me talk inane poo poo at you while you get dressed for work". I'm sorry, but he's hugely obnoxious.

A lot? I just know about the one. And that's what he's most famous for?

This is a lot less coherent than most of your arguments man. The only actual Thing in here is saying his missus has a great arse. Is that it? And is there any more context?

I just thought we'd rather not call officially designate someone (who can potentially be a force for good in mainstream media) a "shithead" because we don't personally like them, after they just gave the PM the hardest interview in recent memory, made international news for a year long experiment to make a point about the difference between how TV treats women and men, and also talks about the problematic lack of diversity in TV. (watch the video in that last one).

quote:

Another serving Navy officer, 'Michael', also said he witnessed occasions in which unseaworthy asylum seeker vessels were not boarded because of decisions made in Canberra.
Video: Serving Navy officer 'Michael' speaks with 7.30 (ABC News)

He said this pressure took the form of "suggestions" relayed to the captains of boats, rather than direct orders.

"Our vessel was delayed 15 hours for a boarding on one occasion and we got reports in from surveillance aircraft that that vessel had sunk 13 hours ago," he said.

"All we found was probably a line about 70 miles long of bodies. We fished them out for as long as we could, 'til we were full. And that wasn't uncommon."

Maybe he's tired of people saying people on morning shows like him aren't real journalists and should leave it to the pros, so he's decided to show up the pros in Canberra peanut gallery for the useless pack of fucksticks they actually are.

Good news, Pyne is introducing the amended bill in Reps tomorrow and will have it for the Senate in the new year.

quote:

t is disappointing that Labor and the Greens voted to shut down Senate debate on the government’s higher education package before amendments could be considered. However the government will not be deterred and will move to introduce a new higher education reform package into the House of Representatives. It will be passed and sent to the Senate early next year.

Great reform takes time.

Like, forever, hopefully.

I was wondering earlier - exactly how much damage have the Libs actually managed to do in the last year?

Their budget is still just sitting there in the dirt. Their education and dole reforms are in a six foot deep hole waiting to be filled in. They killed the carbon tax, so there's that. But, in so many ways, it seemed like everyone was banding together to gently caress with their collective poo poo on the big issues.

It wasn't until I found this link to SallyMcManus.com that it struck me just how much they'd done to gently caress up the country. Reading through all 296 items on the list is so depressing. Thankfully some of the items are broken promises and it's a good thing he broke them because of how lovely they were - like watering down the race hate laws for Bolt.
Don't forget the document that I have been compiling since last September which categorises each of the archived news articles into various fields. It is a few months behind but I am still keeping track in the background!

Ideological purities easy if you just start with the assumption that everything you think and do is currently ideologically pure, and everything else is therefore garbage, sell out, crap. This method will allow you to remain ideologically pure, not matter how much your thoughts and actions change over time. Occasionally you might have to re-calibrate, but this will happen naturally so nothing to worry about. Hoorah, now you have life long ideological purity congratulations!

Lots of businesses will hate on them for some of the random poo poo they demand, but they're mostly reasonable with realising what poo poo is random and bad and what is really necessary for safety, does a good job representing personnel in the offshore construction industry. Especially with Australian companies pushing harder and harder to use foreign crews in Australian waters for 1/3 of the pay.

EDIT: If you want to work offshore construction/maritime you definitely want to be a member.
