I was just surprised they had to rebuild the whole fence, as I cannot see any way kids could get access to their pool without the help from an adult.

The Liberal Democrats will give preferences to the Labor Party ahead of Liberal Party candidate Andrew Hastie at the Canning byelection. The preference swap deal with the ALP is a blow to Prime Minister Tony Abbott whose future could hinge on the strength of result in Canning. The Liberal Democrats have the second place on the byelection ballot paper and a source said: "This is a problem for the Liberals in a tight race".

yeah, even though there's no young kids at your parents now do you think it's likely they'd hurriedly build one in a few years if you managed to procreate and wanted to visit?

Bifauxnen posted:Who was the dude who literally did believe this again? http://www.abc.net.au/news/2011-08-12/nsw-mp-sees-red-over-traffic-lights/2836926 NSW Liberal Peter Phelps considered traffic lights to be a "Bolshevist menace" and said they should all be replaced with roundabouts, as roundabouts "represent democracy". Incidentally, can you actually imagine if all the traffic lights on major arterial roads were replaced with roundabouts? The congestion would be off the charts.

If they were well designed the congestion would be reduced. No one has to stop at a roundabout unless they have to give way, people have to stop at a red light even if there's no one coming.

In the Mail on Sunday last weekend Hitchens – the brother of the celebrated late journalist Christopher Hitchens – penned a column titled: "We won't save refugees by destroying our own country". Raising the images of the dead Turkish child Aylan Kurdi washed up on a beach which have horrified the world, Hitchens said he was "not unmoved". But he wrote: "The child is not dead because advanced countries have immigration laws. The child is dead because criminal traffickers cynically risked the lives of their victims in pursuit of money. "I'll go further," he continued. "The use of words such as 'desperate' is quite wrong in this case. The child's parents were safe in Turkey. Turkey (for all its many faults) is a member of Nato, officially classified as free and democratic. "Many British people actually pay good money to go on holiday to the very beach where the child's body was washed up." On Tuesday night, Dr Phelps rose in the NSW Legislative Council to deliver his speech on the Syrian refugee crisis, containing lines almost identical to those by Hitchens published two days earlier.

Unrelated: I heard on the radio the other day that if there were an election held today the Liberals might have no seats left in metro Adelaide. Pyne's seat and Boothby look like they'll be taken by Xenophon and Hindmarsh could pretty easily go back to Labor. Also, all of Xenophon's preferences will go to Labor. Pyne's reaction would definitely require popcorn if he lost his seat and his hometown rejected his party wholesale.

Is the assumption then that people who don't have children therefore hate children and would never have neices/nephews/cousins/whatever over to have a swim?

Zenithe posted:My folks recently got forced into rebuilding what is already a very safe pool fence (no way you can climb, locked from all areas a kid could possibly get in from), and it cost something like ten grand in order to fit with guidelines. They build it out of glass or used refugees? Ive got a rather large pool and for 14m x 7m powder coated aluminium i paid 3.5k installed. 10k seems outrageous.

Honestly I think the bigger deal should be Prime Minister Tony Abbott laughing at the idea of a foreign countries hypothetical (but not really?) demise. How do these chucklefucks go from denying climate change exists to laughing at the poor people who'll die as a result?
