I saw a thing on the ABC saying some uni students from the area were trying to start up a green energy company with as many workers from the plant as they could. Don't know how that will work out though.

Cartoon posted:Also I suspect that a white judge's determination of what an indigenous community considers reasonable is likely to be a loving disaster in one way or another. Yeah I was wondering that, do they get a member of the affected community to act as an expert witness? Or do they just read it as 'a reasonable person' and not bother with checking whether that conflicts with the experiences of a minority?

It's not as if they were the first famines those countries ever faced, and they were the last.

open24hours posted:Attributing that to collectivisation is a pretty long bow. It seems more likely that they were the last because of technological advancements in agriculture that made farming more efficient and more resilient to environmental vagaries. Technologies they might not have had access to without an intense focus on industrialisation and centralisation by communist authorities.

It's irrelevant to Australia's situation regardless. The main benefit of collectivisation was consolidating land into larger plots that were more efficient. e:And it is an argument to its success if you're saying that technology was the primary reason further famines didn't occur in communist countries, non-communists had access to the same or better technology, and yet famines occurred and continue to occur in non-communist countries.

open24hours posted:This is really getting off topic. China and the Soviet Union were developing countries, but the claim was that collectivisation was a success. Unless I'm misinterpreting the argument that would mean that fewer people died or went hungry under collectivisation than would have without it. Everything I've read on the topic seems to implicate collectivisation as one of the main reasons for the famines that occured in China and Russia, although if there's something out there that refutes that I'd be interested to to see it. I'd lower that bar a bit, collectivisation was a success in that it led those countries who adopted it to develop a modern mechanised agricultural sector. The problems it faced with famine were either due to intentional genocides, or other economic mismanagement such as using Chinese peasants for iron and steel production.

Hmmm yes, you're bringing up an interesting point about how we find people using the legislated protections they have to be somehow cheating the system and causing havoc, but I'd like to stop you mid-thought there, because I doubt that this IPA fuckhead could think of a response to that.

It wasn't too bad. Thisquote:It was unclear what action supporters of legalization might take next. Mr. Turnbull had resisted discussing the issue ahead of the Senate vote. was probably the worst, most misleading line, but they mention straight after that Labor and the Greens support SSM, and why they opposed the plebiscite.
