So Pell's latest set of sociopathic testimony totally destroys everything Devine and Bolt have been saying, right? "I knew, I just didn't care or do anything because there was no law forcing me to" is much harder to justify to the Herald Sun readers.

Why do foreigners always drop in here to ask gloating questions about whatever lovely economist article they read this week? Have they been harboring miserable jealousy since the GFC and now they're trying to spread it globally?

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-03-01/abc-politics-live-blog-march-1/7209628 Live: Cory Bernardi seconded to the United Nations MAP: Australia The Federal Government is sending controversial senator Cory Bernardi to the United Nations for a three-month secondment, starting September. Here is a little more detail on Senator Bernardi's trip to the Big Apple. The Federal Government is sending Liberal Senator Cory Bernardi to the United Nations on a three month secondment. The ABC understands Senator Bernardi will start his post in September. The Government sends one Coalition and one Labor MP each year as parliamentary observers of the UN General Assembly. Senator Bernadi has been critical of the United Nations in the past, describing it as an "unelected and unaccountable body" and a "fiscal black hole of bureaucracy" during debate in the Senate. Here's a reminder of what Senator Bernardi told the ABC last month, trying to dissuade his government from endorsing former Labor Prime Minister Kevin Rudd as a potential replacement for current secretary-general Ban Ki-Moon. Unless of course ... the plan is to destroy the United Nations from within, then that's what I think he would do. Cory Bernardi, February 4

Amethyst posted:I doubt a little kit could test for every dangerous impurity. That plan sounds like a great way to get sued. Those pill testing kits are intended to detect things made accidentally instead of MDMA (because it's a complex chemical process and is easy to gently caress up), or might be deliberately substituted for cost reasons (speed, sugar, etc). It covers the basics pretty well. E: You can't test concentration with them, which is one big problem. Doctor Spaceman fucked around with this message at 07:44 on Mar 1, 2016 |

Yeah I would say it is very much for testing pills. I remember a batch of ecstacy going around in perth 15 years ago that had something that wasnt mdma in it and killed a few people. I think it was PMA but no surehooman posted:gently caress

Cartoon posted:Take your pingers before you leave? Part of the problem is people taking their entire days supply of pingers in one go. Clearly the solution is to have different caps of gelatin that break down at different rates, so you can put your pingers inside those, and then take em all, and they will kick in over a delayed time period, and not all at once.

Vahtooch posted:Absolutely stunning op. Now I'll just go back to sipping lattes and not wanting to work hard, and you know, crying into said latte since I just read this. "The experts’ predictions were stark. “There is a stunning generational unfairness in our [budget] settings and all those disengaged younger Australians need to wake up to the fact they’re being massively screwed by … what the baby boomers are leaving for them,” said Chris Richardson of Deloitte Access Economics. “Right now, we’re eating their future.” Brilliant article. I work in tax and still don't understand how all the other young(ish) ones in my office can be all happy Liberal voters when we're privy to how much the system is geared to the ones with money. I did also enjoy the dig at Stephen Koukalos, who I for some reason generally trust on economic matters as a sensible head, but always found his advice on housing incredibly simplistic.

People have been speculating about voting alternatives for a long time and I think if you're interested in politics at all you should be able to see the value in this as an experiment.
