I don't see how she'd be any worse than Tone. Not better, but not worse either.

I've got enough for the both of them.

See what hooman posted as to why I hate Bishop just a little bit more than Abbott.

I'm waiting for either of the following to happen:

1. After the state election the ALP gets active and redeems itself
2. After the state election the ALP proves itself to still be a right wing shitheel
3. I make friends who are in another political party
4. Another political party person proves my believes aligns with their party more than the ALP in person.

I knew no one in the Greens when I joined, and have since made friends with a whole bunch of people. Don't wait to make friends before you join.

Umart was Chinese and pretty much brought them into the company and set weird rules on them such as "Only being paid in cash" and "Don't open bank accounts". The company pretty much purged all the Australians soon after I left in what I can only assume to be a cost saving measure.

Also a government that invests in public transport will be the next government I vote for. I'm pretty sure both major parties have road-fever though outside Albo who keeps sitting in the corner mumbling about choo-choo trains.

Scott Ludlam had a pretty good plan for public transport infrastructure here in WA, move to perth and vote for him (and work for froglet).

The three specialist doctors I see all vote Liberal, for no reason other than 'they always have'.

My nurse coordinator votes National because she comes from the country, as do at least have the ward nurses.

My physiotherapist votes Liberal, then complains that he has hosed internet infrastructure, and has a 45 minute drive to and from work every day because no public transport can get him to work.

I did have one physiotherapist who was on weekend duty, she voted Greens and was a union member and told me about all the industrial action they had planned, she was pretty cool.

So yeah #notalldoctors but a loving lot of them it seems.


*votes Liberal, complains about staff and funding cuts, works in the WA Public Health System*

Another problem with the news trawling social media for photos is that its made it very easy for them to find pictures that help them paint whatever picture of the victim they want, see in the USA whenever a black person is killed they find the most "thuggish" picture they can, or any pictures of them doing "gang signs" with their hands.

And then you get the opposite of this, when people like Anders Brevik know thats exactly what will happen, so he sanitizes his social media profile so that its full of studio grade photos of him looking charming and clean cut.

We should switch our current organ doner registry from opt-in to an opt-out system, I think they have one like that somewhere in Europe and it has helped reduce the scarcity of donor organs a lot.

Without giving it much thought, I think it's fine as a standalone idea. Unwanted pregnancies probably harm society more than the cost of universally available contraception, although this is clearly a subjective calculation that I am making on a whim right now to humour you.

Rather than just humor me on it, why not give it some proper thought?
