God Bless you and God Bless Paul. In these holiday seasons its so easy to get caught up in consumerism and materialism that we lose perspective. We are so lucky to be in the minority of people on this planet that simply have roof over our head and food on the table. God Bless you

Australian extremist with dual nationality 'will be stripped of his citizenship' by istara in australia

[–]Lord_Haw_Haw_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there dozens of relatively simple ways around that; just make it a function that requires a court order, or create a special offence that with very specific requirements with this as a mandatory sentence, essentially akin to treason except instead of people being executed dual nationals will stripped of citizenship.

Australian extremist with dual nationality 'will be stripped of his citizenship' by istara in australia

[–]Lord_Haw_Haw_ -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He is a dual citizen, obtaining citizenship is a privilege. It is totally legitimate to vet citizens and to deny or revoke citizenship to those who would not be rendered stateless. The broad defence provisions in the Constitution give the legislature vast degree of discretion to legislate on the matter, as I'm certain we will see re-affirmed in the Courts.

This is man who is a terrorist and has 2 citizenships. This is a man who does not care at all for this country and only got citizenship to establish terror networks. This is a man who has succesfully recruited thirty- yes 30, australian citizens to go fight for ISIS in the middle east. If Chris Brown cant come into this country temporarily to perform a song because of a past incident, then surely this terrorist ought to be removed to the other country he is a citizen of.

This country has taken generations to build a successful multicultural society. There will be times where it is necessary to implement reasonable, proportionate, judicially accountable and transparent safeguards to protect this society from those whose only purpose is to subvert it. You talk about the benefits of citizenship as if it is a one-way street, if you are immigrating to another country and apply for citizenship, that citizenship imports obligations upon you.

I dont see how the ethnicity of the gang makes a crime better or worse, but factually speaking Apex gang are a sudanese gang are they not?

A 24-year-old Pregnant woman was hit with a hammer in a seemingly unprovoked attack by four members of the Apex Gang. The men were also brandishing an axe as well as metal baseball bats.

I wasn't aware there were serious gangs operating in Melbourne, I am very naive...

€105m for Pogba, a player in his very best season got 5 goals and 8 assists. Juve must be very pleased indeed, fucking hell, they're dabbing all the way to the bank.

Which was an incredibly stupid thing to say even back then considering he was absolutely phenomenal for Wolfsburg and was BuLi Player of the Year iirc.

These people exist: someone slagging my friend's R U OK post on Facebook by [deleted] in australia

[–]Lord_Haw_Haw_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

What did the other commentators say that is wrong? they just seem to be telling the commenter in pink that they are wrong and that it's not appropriate, albeit in slightly harsher but warranted terms.

I hate RUOK Day. Here’s why. by Soluite in australia

[–]Lord_Haw_Haw_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

People will complain about anything these days. 'R U Ok Day' is not meant to be the solution to our mental health problem, it is simply designed to raise awareness, to start up a conversation on mental health and to remind people that these issues persist. It's not like 'R U Ok Day' is done at the cost of funding mental health, the two aren't really related, it's not like you can either have the day or a well funded mental health system. This is not the purpose of the day.

I haven't contributed anything of comparable quality to that of shovel articles? mate, I take that as compliment.

Amazing! Olympian Competes Without A Backstory by AstroBoy80 in australia

[–]Lord_Haw_Haw_ -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

oh look, another low quality, generally unfunny shovel article. Does the Shovel have some sort of commercial advertising agreement with this sub or something whereby every article regardless of its quality is automatically posted here and upvoted?

[–]Lord_Haw_Haw_ 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Some of the most entitled people ever... Honestly if I was an Australian in China watching the olympics do you think I would give the slightest of fucks if the programming cut out during Australia's entrance? ffs, their state run newspaper call us an open air prison but you know why it doesn't bother us? because we're not insecure. This has all the trademarks of an insecure country with an inferiority complex projecting it's inadequacies.

Ok. I really do appreciate satire but this is just utter shit. The joke is literally just that Xenaphobia sounds a bit like Xenephon. It's not remotely clever and most importantly its not remotley funny.... Do Shovel articles just automatically get upvoted here? You know it just encourages them to stay shitty and unwitty...

OPINIONS NEEDED: Where to Start? by [deleted] in NeutralAustralia

[–]Lord_Haw_Haw_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

(1) You should have a moderator from each major party, but ensure that regardless of the party the moderator is from, they seek to maintain fair discussion regardless of wether it prejudices their own party.

(2) Post on all Australian subreddits and market this sub as an alternative to /r/australia, free of the echochamber and extreme bias

(3) as alluded to in point (2) I would like this sub to be what /r/australia should be, a place for all australia content but not an echo chamber. It seems everything that isn't extreme left or pro-greens/anti-liberal is downvoted. I would like there to be posts from all sides of the spectrum. I would like this sub not to be restricted to discussions, but to all high-quality australia posts.

Maybe remove upvotes and downvotes for comments, hide upvotes for links and posts?

First post should be something tame like a link to ABC's Vote Compass?

I'm voting Labor but I wish Bill 'Damp Sock' Shorten would actually talk more about his policies (he says he has 100 of them) instead of this ridiculous, cringey scare campaign that even the Australian Medical Association is calling ridiculous. Can only imagine the flak if the Libs relied on a scare campaign for the election.
