The coverage of the refugees in Austria has been amazing. You can really see the differences between different channels and their agendas. They even slip up and call them refugees rather than asylum seekers sometimes!

Digiwizzard posted:This seems like a bizarre semantic twist. It's very hard to reinterpret asylum seekers into "they're just seeking asylum.. for fun?!" whereas refugee is not only easier to redefine but is already being turned derogatory in the form of the dimunitive "Fugee". I've never heard that term outside of the late nineties band. The term refugee implies they're proper refugees, with protected status, and hence we should help them. "Asylum seekers" says  these browns might not be proper refugees They stopped using "boat people" because they didn't want us to think of them as people either.

When was the pool fencing laws introduced? Looking at some of the Royal Life Saving reports - http://www.royallifesaving.com.au/facts-and-figures/research-and-reports/drowning-reports, drownings in general are down.

Lizard Combatant posted:The argument isn't that you shouldn't have a fence, it's that if you don't have kids should you still be required to have one? 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?

Cheers for the vids, the Curb Your Enthusiasm one was amazing.Solemn Sloth posted:Peter Dutton and Tony Abbott once again prove stupider than the root vegetables they resemble/consume respectively Unfortunately it's not quite a slam dunk. Dutton could spin it as talking about those waterfront hotels/houses, etc rather than about climate change.

Negligent posted:Abbott stares wistfully out at the ocean. The horizon is blissfully unblighted by the silhouettes of boats. He softly whispers to himself, 'LABOR WASTE.' HookShot posted:I think my favourite part of the last 24 hours apart that wasn't directly related to any of the politicians (Abbott's speech, him running away, smugface) was the ABC having a pre-recorded 5 minute political obituary ready for Abbott that they aired like five minutes after it came out Turnbull was challenging. Considering Abbott was nearly ousted in February they probably put the majority of it together back then.
