Actually from what I can tell it's because British politics is far more regionalised, fractured and fragmented, so you actually have lively debate on things like Scottish independence and whether or not Corbyn is a good idea as leader. Also I was going to say at least Abbott hasn't managed to dismantle workers' rights the way the Tories have, but on the other hand, he'd like to. So never mind that.

Speaking of the UK, you know that recent NY Times piece that mentioned some European politicians coming on fact-finding missions to Australia's refugee detention centres? Do we have any idea which European countries they came from? Because I wasn't aware any other nations apart from Britain were flipping out to that degree, not even Greece or Italy, who are the ones actually getting flooded.

I went to the Naomi Klein lecture at the Opera House today. Getup have uploaded the entire thing, it dwelt first on the death of Aylan Kurdi and then moved to the subject of Nauru which she goes in detail in the book about how its the intersection of Climate Change, extraction capitalism and refugees. It was very good. Then for some reason they opened up the floor to questions, GUESS WHAT THE FIRST ONE WAS about : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5LuIAJEFUc&feature=youtu.be&t=2398

Did you guys know that in many countries on this gay Earth, foreigners are legally required to carry their passport with them at all times? Such terrible places as Japan, for example. If you don't have it, you will be detained! Amazing they haven't fired up the gas chambers yet right? There are actual legit things to get upset about, and then there's Sarah being late for work.

The point being that in many countries it is considered normal and desirable that foreign nationals identify themselves upon request by law enforcement agents. If Border Fart had their poo poo together the cops would be able to access some sort of database and send Sarah on her way, but instead she had to make a phone call and was late for work. The situation described is not the start of a slippery slope to goosestepping through Europe.

Honestly, I'm happy these needsome fluff pieces are coming out because it indicates the public in general are unhappy with the idea of "THE MOTHERFUCKING BORDER FORCE". Having said that, most countries that expect you to carry around your visas and whatnot are generally not countries you want to be basing yourself off of.

a law enforcement officer should always assume that a foreign national who produces a foreign drivers licence as proof of entitlement to drive is in the country legally. any country that allows its officers to ask whether you are in the country legally is racist and probably hitler

In practice though, I'm pretty sure the rule is (in victoria at least) that you can use a foreign or our of state licence for up to three months after emigrating to a particular state, after which you have to change. Negligent posted:you are supposed to have it if you are asked for it, in practice you may never be asked. consider yourself lucky to not have been questioned by the actual nazis in Germany. Funny story, when I was lounging around Munich airport, they were walking around in uniform with mp5s. Was a real eye opener for me at the time.

Guys, you are arguing with Negligent. Is anyone surprised that someone who thinks Cambodia is a loving paradise sees no issue with the erosion of civil liberties? If warrantless arbitrary house searches were introduced he'd probably be dead set in favor of that too.

Really the whole bit about having to carry around visa papers is a red herring. The real problem is when you dont have papers or withhold them but the authorities can check your records without your consent. In every state you are required to give your name and address to police. If border fart links up their system to the police computer, then bleep bloop who gives a poo poo about papers, that's so 1940s, with an ipad we can make the question "what is your name?" scary. that's the actual insidious part that the stupid nazi comparisons miss.
