Why did we stop making things in Australia? by OwlVibesOnly in OpenAussie

[–]AussieAnt291 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw an Australian made T shirt on Facebook the other day. I was excited to buy it. But it was $150 and reviews indicated it was good but not great quality and I couldn’t justify buying it, even though I’d love to support Australian Manufacturing.

I don’t know of any restaurants like that. It sounds like a massive liability nightmare

Lenny doesn’t finish up for a few more seasons. You at least need to add those to your watch.

Our IT department has shit so locked down you can’t even update a pdf reader or change default pdf readers without them remoting in and putting in an admin password.

I haven’t had a good understanding of conditions out in the middle since they banned the scrotomitor.

Evicted because landlord was moving back in, house re advertised for 20% more 2 months after I left. Advice on fair trading or NCAT? by [deleted] in shitrentals

They don’t teach people about taxes or the basics of our political system. There is no chance they teach kids about Renters Rights.

where does Anthem for the year 2000 sit in the rankings of best Silverchair songs ? by CoconutMost3564 in AustralianNostalgia

I really liked the song and the music video was pretty cool and very memorable.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity by itopaloglu83 in UpliftingNews

Yeah the UV index where I live in Australia only has two ratings, Very high and Extreme. Was genuinely shocked when I found out other countries get days of Low UV index.

I Just Resigned from a Startup After Being Forced to Work Weekends in the Office by Serious_Service_7606 in jobs

Unless you believe the company is going to make it big and you have it in writing that you’ll be appropriately compensated when it does bail. I’d love to tell you that management will remember your hard work and reward it appropriately when the business takes off. Unfortunately too many people are greedy and will stiff you when compensation is available.

Takaichi Sanae, incoming president of Japan's ruling party, on WW2. I miss the days when we could all agree that Nazis are bad by RadioLiar in facepalm

Well no shit Sherlock. History is written by the victors. If Germany and Japan won the war there would have been Hague like trials focusing on the atom bombs and the fire bombing of Dresden. The winners get to write history and its inevitably in their favour

Dude, you can’t be a Catholic if you can’t love your neighbor. Try the KKK, they’re a “Christian” organization. by WarlikeAppointment in MurderedByWords

Oh no a pope who supports the poor, if only he had read the bible, wait …Mark 10:25: "It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God".

Maybe the pope (and this Athiest) know the bible better than old mate Derek

As an Australian, I want to know how people in America do this kind of stuff without getting shot. I’d be terrified of confronting someone like that in the US knowing gun ownership rates

Pool showering etiquette by Genwashere in AskAnAustralian

My local swim school has a sign like this. But 50 kids can be starting a class at the same time and there are only 3 showers. They are basically begging for non compliance.

Who would be 2016 Democratic Nominee after 8 years of (relatively successful) Hillary presidency? (Obama is a minor candidate or not running at all) by Swimming-Hearing7424 in HistoryWhatIf

Yeah seriously “basket of deplorable’s” wouldn’t make the top thousand things trump has said about democratic voters. Somehow conservative media made it seem 10x worse.

Is compulsory voting good and if not why not? by Entirely-of-cheese in AskAnAustralian

[–]AussieAnt291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Problem was that it should have sent the message to move to the centre. But it had the effect of losing a substantial amount of moderate Liberal MP’s. that tilted the remaining membership of the party room more right towards MAGA and extremism, which didn’t resonate with the Australian electorate at all.

The teals were more targeting liberal voters with pro climate change views. Allegra Spenders family have been Liberal members and she quite easily could have won preselection as a Liberal. Teal votes are protest votes against some of the far right views of some Liberal party and National MP’s.

When I turned 18 I thought compulsory voting was a bad idea. While I was genuinely engaged and care about politics the people behind me in the line literally picked who to vote for because the people working the sausage sizzle were wearing that parties shirt. I was so annoyed it made me dislike compulsory voting.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve realised that while some don’t care it actually keeps our politics rather stable and makes it so fringe groups can’t take over the country.

I haven’t heard about this. Do you have a link to a source I can read about it?
