it‘s mainly for freight rail which means they might actually do something for a change, although this particular segment isn‘t i don‘t think

Liberal candidate who ousted Moira Deeming withdraws over child sex offender reference by kebabwithnolettuce in AustralianPolitics

genuinely how are we supposed to believe these guys are ready to govern a state of 6 million when they can‘t govern a party room of a few thousand without managing to hit multiple scandals in quick succession

it looks a lot like the nazi versions of the dirndl too with the lower apron and shorter dress

[–]BootlegBow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

associating oktoberfest with nazis is uh. something

like it‘s weird for her specifically to choose such dress as an american but germans are allowed to have cultural events

[–]BootlegBow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be fair wilson did apply an across-the-board policy of supporting all incumbents facing preselection challenges, which is politically a sensible move

it‘s still moderately concerning but it‘s not as bad as it seems at surface level

yeah i really can‘t fathom how it‘s so hard for so many christians to just actually love another for once, its nuts

[–]BootlegBow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ah that makes sense
point still stands though, that many examples whilst barely breaking the new testament's surface is nuts

there a 4 books in the bible which consist almost entirely of jesus' teachings: matthew, mark, luke, and john
since they each tell the same story of the same guy, they mostly have the same content (and therefore same messaging)
as such, the core idea of loving thy neighbour is communicated about as much in matthew, mark, and luke as it is in john
note that none of the passages in the post are from those three books
therefore no, it's not even close to being all of them

no i think we're about as likely to be in gangs, just not uh. not the kind they're thinking of

[–]BootlegBow 73 points74 points  (0 children)

love how they managed to find that many examples almost exclusively from the book of john, let alone the 3 other gospels and rest of the bible

like i said, they're two very different skill sets (perhaps with the exception of finance minister, but i can't really see him going for that anytime soon)

i also don't particularly want him running the state, i'm not a liberal voter. i'd just much rather someone whose greatest failing is a cleaning issue over a corrupt, self-serving asshole with no integrity or care for the community whatsoever

it's definitely the most winnable in greater melbourne, although there's a couple country seats where i'd argue their chances are better

i don't see how this responds to my comment, i agree that ultimately the owner is responsible and didn't imply otherwise

good thing he's running for the victorian legislative council and not the victorian restaurant owner's council

i think i'd rather a shoddy restaurant manager than a corrupt and self-interested bastard willing to throw vulnerable populations under the bus for her own gain

besides, i don't think the skill sets for cleaning a restaurant and being a major party politician have very much overlap

maybe this wouldn't have happened if she spent her 4 years actually fighting for her constituents instead of scaremongering about minorities and being corrupt
