Furnaceface posted: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). 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.

Senate elections weren't held under STV until the 1940s, and I don't really know much about the system before that.

Laserface posted:Isnt Auspost only going to continue to make more and more as online shopping increases (is it increasing? i would have to assume it is) and selling it off would be a huge loving mistake? Making a profit means it's crowding out private businesses, and so should be privatised. Making a loss means it's inefficient, and so should be sold to reduce costs.

Bolt's problem wasn't that he was a racist, it's that he was so dishonest that he wasn't able to use 18D to defend his statements as genuinely held political beliefs. So yeah, Trump would be completely hosed. E: The article makes the same point, and argues that 18C prevents people like Trump from being properly defeated in the public discourse. quote:The free flow of ideas, even the demented idea that Mexicans are rapists, is essential to democratic operation.
