Does anyone here know of any Australian websites where a masters student could get an opinion article published? I wrote a little political economy piece about the RBA considering quantitative easing.

Is The Drum still accepting contributions? They'd probably take it, I think a goon (JR Hennesy iirc) got some stuff published there

The Advertiser used to have a column written by a small greasy dude and the byline listing his qualifications just said "[Name] is an Adelaide teenager", so maybe the bar for most newspapers isn't very high. You probably need to know the right people though

I think we'd probably do pretty well out of a deal like that. We'd get all their educated people escaping low wages and drizzle, and they'd buy all our agricultural produce.

The whole "we can have BETTER TRADE with the COMMONWEALTH" is my favourite Brexiteer attitude though. A bunch of sad beer-gutted old fucks on the Tory backbenches who seem to forget that other countries actually have their own concerns and interests, and that Canada and Australia would toss the UK overboard like a Big Mac wrapper before jeopardising their relationship with the EU.

No doubt if you visited the Commonwealth Club you'd see a bunch of moustached OBE's reminiscing of their time in the Raj and pissef off that you can't go to darkest Africa and have a coolie help you bag a tigrr these days.

My dream is a free trade and movement deal being struck with the Commonwealth and watching brexit supporters' reactions to the change in the race of immigrants to Britain

A deal like that would never work out, you can't have prosperous countries enter into a freedom-of-movement deal with poorer countries that have larger populations. Australia and Canada would be swamped with British migrants.

A staffer for Turnbull government frontbencher Christopher Pyne is among the nine Australians jailed in Malaysia after stripping at a formula one race. Jack Walker, a policy adviser to Mr Pyne, and eight friends were arrested in Sepang on Sunday afternoon after stripping down to their underwear, which featured the Malaysian flag.

Could you imagine the tears from the Daily Terrograph if the Sharks didn't win? The paper was already a sore loser with the Swans going down to the Doggies.

Can someone here give me a link to something that explains the break down of the Aussie parties and where they sit on the political compass? Im curious if yours is as bad as ours here in Canada with only one left leaning party and a bunch of them on the right (who somehow continue to win elections).

Im curious if yours is as bad as ours here in Canada with only one left leaning party and a bunch of them on the right (who somehow continue to win elections). Greens - Left wing party, born from the environmental movement in the 1980s. Minor party, controls key seats in the upper house. Labor - Centre left party, strong association with union movement. Has existed longer than the country. Major party, currently in opposition. Nick Xenophon Team - Centrist party formed from the success of an independent senator. Minor party, controls a few key seats. Liberals - Right wing party. Formed in the 1940s. In permanent partnership with the Nationals, known as the Coalition. Currently in government. Main party in the Coalition. Nationals - Right wing rural / country party. Typically socially conservative, but with shades of agrarian socialism at times. Very much the weaker party in the Coalition. (The Coalition has a slightly more complex makeup than this but you can ignore the details) Pauline Hanson's One Nation - Far right-wing racist arseholes. Minor party, controls a few key seats in the upper house. Existed since the 90s in one form or another.

An actual left leaning Green party?  Other than that it looks similar. How long have you guys had preferential voting? I thought you still had FPTP like us.
