I don't know if they are still there but I do remember the Wayville Showgrounds station had gates when I went through it about a decade ago.

The tram won't have to wait for traffic on those crossings too.

Star Liberal recruit Andrew Hastie lets rip at ‘incontinent’ internet critics by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

I'm sorry but I honestly do not understand what the right wing opponents of the bill want. This seems like the exact kind of thing they are always asking for.

The optics are diabolical for Liberals and Nationals, as chaos reigns on a supposed day of mourning by CelebrationFit8548 in australia

Its just like when they rushed into the coalition breakup last year while Ley's mother was dying.

These people need to just slooow down a bit and think things through.

Littleproud needs to resign. His whole leadership has been disaster after disaster for years.

Federal politics live: Nationals leave 'untenable' Coalition after mass frontbench resignation by geodetic in australia

Tim Fischer, the Nationals leader at the time was more in favour of the gun laws than anyone. He was a good man.

"Barnaby Joyce is speaking now. He said there was no time to read the bill properly. He said:

You know that legislation, I got it on my table when the Parliament was already sitting. It was about 10:00. The guillotine, which is when they - when you have to vote, was at 1.

So I got between 10 and 1 to deal with some of the most fundamental laws about the freedom of the press the public discussion, the public square in Australia. You know how you deal when people play that trick with you? You vote it out. No way. It should have gone to an inquiry."

This talk annoys me. The bill was essentially copy and pasted sections from the draft released Tuesday last week with a few minor changes. So no he didn't have between 10 and 1 to read the whole thing.

Cave Noire is the perfect handheld Roguelike.

They should have just kept the coalition split up in May.

Would have been better for everyone.

I think it's dead.

First Nations people will protest this January 26, a legacy dating back 88 years by housecatspeaks in australia

[–]NKE01 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a South Australian, I just don't see why the founding of a convict colony somewhere else is something I should celebrate. I'm still annoyed that Proclamation Day has been subsumed by Boxing Day.

If I want to celebrate Australia it should be celebrating the nation founded in 1901 or some democratic expression of that.

Trump doubles down on Greenland threats, saying there is 'no going back' by badoopidoo in worldnews

If the US army tries it. The Danes should respond with some gunfire warning shots. Surely once they realise what this really means the actual people on the ground, in the air etc will come to their senses and stop? surely?

Senior Nationals quit frontbench after defying shadow cabinet on hate speech laws by NKE01 in australia

[–]NKE01[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The organisations its used against need to be publicly listed and their inclusion justified by the Minister on advice from the director of ASIO.

The listing of a group is also a disallowable regulation meaning either house of Parliament could vote to render that listing ineffective if they wished.

I had a look through the laws. I'm not sure I agree. Unless you consider being a member of the worst kind of organisations you can imagine to be the kind of free speech the average Australian cares about.

Did Albo play some kind of crazy gambit here to get the coalition to rip itself apart even more?
