If Abbott gets rolled by Bishop the lesson he will take from it is that he allowed too many women in the cabinet.

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:Where did all this "Bishop would make a competent leader" crap come from? In this thread, I mean, not in the media, we all know where that's coming from and why. Her "talents" are identical to those of Abbott, ie she has the will and the discipline to steadily parrot bullshit she doesn't understand without conceding to the reality that she's a dunce with nothing to offer. Bishop can, on occasion, string a sentence together without leaving a mess on the carpet. That puts her head and shoulders above Abbott in the competency department.

Also if they don't have a guarantee from Ricky Muir to pass their higher education bill they are loving lunatics. If he votes no, then they have just gone and told everyone they are resetting their agenda, and immediately failed to pass the same higher education reform they have been failing to pass for six months.

Saul Goode posted:Sorry if this has been discussed ad nauseum already (noting the strong presence of HALAL in the word cloud), but I had a co-worker start ranting to me at a morning tea the other day about how Pieface have gone out of business because they decided to make everything Halal certified and when I asked why would that be a problem (even though I knew it was BS), she said it was because Australians were boycotting Halal certified foods because of the cruel manner of killing the animals. She's generally a smart person though so I was thinking maybe she's just been sucked in by some Facebook meme or something, so I've tried to find some articles online I can show her. So far so good, but is there a consensus in AusPol about the cruelty issue? Most of what I've found so far says that the Australian standard is to stun before killing but that certain slaughterhouses are able to get an exemption on religious grounds. Should this latter group be a significant concern? Is there any way to link methods of slaughter to specific businesses? Halal almost always still stuns in Australia, but uses reversible stunning methods. Kosher doesn't stun. http://kb.rspca.org.au/What-is-Kosher-slaughter-in-Australia_117.html http://kb.rspca.org.au/what-is-halal-slaughter-in-australia_116.html

Those On My Left posted:http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2014/s4135968.htm Just as Christopher Pyne can apparently be singled out for greater criticism because he is allegedly gay while being part of a government that is regressive on gay rights, I think you should really be applying the blowtorch to the ~50% of AFL supporters who are women for being traitors to their gender.

Zenithe posted:I've seen conflicting studies on this, some suggest that it is better than stunning, others don't. We should probably restrict this to Australian abattoirs, since too often once you leave our borders all bets are off for humane slaughter regardless of whether it is ritualised for halal, kosher etc or not.

My girlfriend asked me why I wanted to listen to a news report about higher education, when I didn't want to watch an interview with Christopher Pyne on ABC24 earlier this morning. I said because there is no one in the universe I would less like to listen to than Christopher Pyne. She said what about Joe Hildebrand

You added in later that part of your reason for using his sexuality to attack Pyne is that he passes as a member of the oppressing class. Would he be a better person for being openly gay while contributing to the opposition of gay rights?

I mean honestly I can't imagine why if he was gay Christopher Pyne would choose to hide that. Maybe he for some weird reason thought that if he came out his sexuality would be used against him
