Wait, who sees that as a surprising result, the willfully blind?


Why is it only this morning that I learned that Savva was a former adviser to Howard and Costello. No wonder she's gotten a NewsCorp job and probably hates Abbott with a passion. As much as Abbott is a turd clinging on to the toilet of political relevance a lot of this seems like a beat up.

Gearing up for the election, reminding the punters that turnbull is not abbott.

I'm probably not the best person to ask about book banning since I'd welcome an internet filter if it actually worked as described and blocked access to child pornography instead of the unrealistic clusterfucks that have been proposed thus far.

I am literally Stalin.

Pretty sure everybody is in favour of magic spells that protect us from bad times. The difficulty lies in convincing people magic isnt real and neither are their solutions. If, like you said, magic was real, there would be no problem.

Yeah, not exactly sure what you're talking about here since the current balls up of the NBN is part of why he's coming back:

I suspect windsors health emergency was just an excuse for not running when he knew he was going to lose his seat.

When in reality these are actually bad things that you would (probably) never say to another person in real life. Why is it ok here?

This is a thread where people have literally discussed if it's "OK" to say "Indigenous Australian" and have decried the use of the c word.

quote:



Prime Minster Malcolm Turnbull has offered the Senate crossbench a stay of execution by promising not to hold a double dissolution election if they pass two bills cracking down on unions. 

With the Government, the Greens and Nick Xenophon to pass laws next week reforming the Senate voting system, it will be impossible for microparties to game the preference system and win a Senate spot with a tiny primary vote.

If Mr Turnbull then calls a double dissolution election for July 2, which is a full Senate election, all the crossbenchers, except Nick Xenophon and possibly Jacqui Lambie will be wiped out.

If the crossbench passes the trade union bills and Mr Turnbull then goes full term or a half-Senate election in spring, only John Madigan, who was elected in 2010, would disappear.

Prisons in NSW are thirsting for reform; you only have to pick up the newspapers, you only have to listen to talkback radio," Minister for Corrections David Elliott told reporters on Sunday.

Mr Elliot said another 1,100 beds would progressively be made available in the public system but there needed to be an improved performance across the system.

Prisons that did not slash reoffending rates would also be put to tender, he said.

"This about making sure the taxpayers of NSW get the best opportunity available when it comes to managing a prison."

Mr Elliot said it was not a vote of no confidence in the public sector, but rather "market testing".
