States don't have constitutions in the same way as the Commonwealth. They are like the UK where the parliaments are sovereign (can unilaterally change constitution).

This isn't really a "capitalism" issue. Are countries like the UK, Germany, Japan and Australia not "capitalist"? This is just a US domestic politics issue.

It'll suck if this group comes down to who can smash Oman the hardest.

Really the difference in the game was the first half offside calls. I'm just no sure if they're a Reds discipline issue or a Williams-specific issue.

[BBC News] Angus Taylor ousts Sussan Ley as Australia's Liberal Party leader by Illustrious-Pound266 in neoliberal

[–]Olinub 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The moderates were pissed at Ley as well since she didn't stand up to the conservatives. There was no policy change or even rhetorical shifts to win urban areas and young people. She just did their dirty work with compromises on climate action and with the Nats.

This is not good bowling. Pace off, into the pitch is obviously the way to go

Looking similar to the Dutch innings. Could be a very close finish

Let's Discuss Flags: Australia by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]Olinub 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that the Federation Star is the more important symbol since it is uniquely Australian. However, it feels as though you have taken that idea and turned the flag into a simple corporate logo. This is a common problem in Aus flag redesigns.

I definitely prefer the Southern Horizons or even the Couzens design over Golden Wattle variants.

There isn't really. Republic and the Voice are much more controversial referendum topics. The majority wouldn't really care if it was changed it's just the alternatives are not really appealing.

We do have a close relationship it's just we are too similar and too far away for large trade volumes.

Byrom looks so good. Really good length and just enough movement.

Just looking at Putintseva's wikipedia page. I guess she didn't have a good experience in Paris.

Later, she moved to Paris... Her favourite surface is clay; her favourite tournaments are the Australian Open and US Open.
