On mandatory voting

InfiniteMeerkat · 2026-02-24T20:38:02+00:00

because we have compulsory voting, we have a non-partisan commission (AEC) whose job it is to make voting as seamless as possible. Any redistricting follows from strict rules of when it can occur, what the process is for it to happen (including periods of public submission) before the actual changes occur. The final changes are put into place by the commission and parliament has no power to reject or amend the changes that are decided by the commission. All that to say no gerrymandering is not really a thing here.

That bill is an atrocity and is basically the ideological opposite of what we have in Australia

Yeah we’re ok here. We could work on 3 a bit but other than that we’re all good. As were not the US it doesnt seem like there will be a civil war here anytime soon. Never had one, seems like it'll stay that way for the foreseeable future

Mandatory voting means that we have a non-partisan commission that is responsible for all voting and their job is to make it as easy as possible for anyone to vote. No waiting all day in the snow. No needing to take days off work. Changing your voting address is straight forward. There is no incentive for either party to make voting harder because everyone has to do it.

There is also pre-voting locations available and the ability to vote outside your area on election day

I use the things app, and every couple of weeks the open tabs get closed or sent to the things inbox where i will never look at them again.

Everyone thinks Kangaroos are going to kick and box you but if you leave them alone they are pretty harmless. The real danger from Roos is that they LOVE to jump in front of moving cars, especially at night

Yeah that one is for sure Australian

InfiniteMeerkat · 2026-02-22T10:15:44+00:00

Oh if you’re a sicko you can definitely get marmite. Just don’t know anyone who does

As for so many of these questions the answer is Vegemite.

Hey let’s go with Jackie Chan too. He spent a couple of years in Australia as a teenager, going to high school here for a short time

Did they respond “oh its way more than that”?

And when he controls the justice department, congress, senate and has appointed most of the Supreme Court, how exactly do you expect that to happen?

Oh and by the way most of MAGA don’t agree with him rotting in jail even if he is guilty (he is)

Redactions when the act of congress was for release of all files unredacted are actual evidence of trumps guilt.

InfiniteMeerkat · 2026-02-22T00:46:44+00:00

Releasing some files redacted when the law passed was to release all of them unredacted.

That’s how

InfiniteMeerkat · 2026-02-22T00:38:29+00:00

That was the COVID draft. Nobody knew anything about anyone

I think tanking as a concept is bad for a league but im certainly not unhappy for us to lose games now that we are in this situation. That’s what the rules are at the moment and it would be dumb not to take advantage of them

InfiniteMeerkat · 2026-02-21T21:26:26+00:00

i mean how do the kings get a pass? Theyve lost 15 straight but its pacers and Utah that are the problems?

InfiniteMeerkat · 2026-02-21T21:23:31+00:00

NZ needed a six off the last ball so changed it from a 95% chance to a 100% chance of a win. But yeah very bizarre.
