Let me guess - the reasons are sorted by alphanumerical order, and "the first option now reads “2016 Marriage Equality Plebiscite” because nothing else starts with "2016".

Well yeah, I doubt they'd sort the list based on the number of calls about it to save the operator a second or two. That'd be a bit morbid.

What a loving dumb system that would have been. We adopted the Red/Green Ps in Vic a couple of years ago, but I'm pretty sure the distinction is between whether you're allowed to tow a trailer, or how many people are allowed in your car after a certain time.

I'd hate for Australia to become a place where we had monuments to politicians all over the place. It feels gauche and American.

So according to a survey by the RSPCA 60 percent favour a greyhound racing ban, but Baird is going down in the polls because of the racing ban? Does anyone want to tell me what's going on?

I guess there might be a lot of liberals who hate the ban so much they'd switch their vote and a lot of labor supporters who like it, but not enough to switch theirs.

Or the simpler reason is that he's not going down in the polls because of the greyhound racing ban.

i'm confused, I thought that one of the points that Cartoon was making was that we expect that foreigners behave according to ~our cultural standards~ while in Australia, while we are expecting that Australians should be able to get a free pass on their behaviour while overseas (which may be breaching that country's ~cultural standards~)

No you see, because our cultural standards are universally in favour of freedom and nice things, therefore it's not an argument of relativism, but the best outcome for the most people.

lmao if you think this is what our cultural standards are

Nah, but it's literally the only way ThatFatKid's argument makes sense.

Like if it were true there would definitely be an argument for not giving a gently caress about other people's cultural standards. But it's not true.

I don't understand all this hoo-haa is over the "Apex Gang" except that's the easy way racists and the media are saying "those Sudanese people" without sounding too racist.

Yeah, but they're committed to being arseholes who hate non-heterosexuals. 'You're just as poo poo as I am' is hardly flattering to Labor.

Glad the plebiscite's dead though. I think I'll be happier waiting another 3 years for marriage equality as long as the Libs don't get to say it was brought in under their government.
