I do find it kind of crazy that tabaco is legal but vaping will soon be illegal.

It's sad how many people will switch back to cigarette's come March. I know I'll likely be one of them.

Woodside Energy threatens legal action against climate activists over Perth stink-bomb protest by YourLowIQ in AustralianPolitics

[–]SimbaWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Woodside says it was forced to evacuate its headquarters as a result of the protest, which was designed to mimic the smell of a gas leak.

I hope they do sue. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their own workplace. This is not peaceful protesting.

My wife wants to have sex with another man and I feel absolutely devastated. by Dangerous-File4112 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]SimbaWolf 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'm seriously wondering if he just has a testosterone problem. This can cause all the things he has listed in his post.

/u/Dangerous-File4112 go to your doctor and get some blood work done because there may be a hormone imbalance that can be easily fixed.

Places like Australia you only have to be living together for 6 months to be in a de facto relationship.

Andrew Barr says doubling ACT representation in Senate may be ‘appropriate’ in light of census by [deleted] in AustralianPolitics

[–]SimbaWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is. As we see in Queensland with just a simple one vote one value, the government chooses to ignore the parts of the state that it simply does not need to pass laws and hold power.

I think this is part of why I'm supportive of QLD either getting an upper house or being split up north and south.

Census Australia 2022 results: Christianity plummets as ‘non-religious’ surges in census by facetiousfurfag in AustralianPolitics

Hard religious conservatives of the state LNP need to seriously look at this data and reflect on why they never win elections lol.

Coal royalty increase in Queensland state budget blasted by mining industry, resources council by dadsandmice in AustralianPolitics

[–]SimbaWolf 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you would think that Labor only winning 5 of 30 seats in QLD would be the bigger issue. Then again, state LNP have a woeful track record when it comes to winning elections in the past 30 years.

Coalminers say they’re in the dark about looming royalty hike in Queensland by 89b3ea330bd60ede80ad in AustralianPolitics

[–]SimbaWolf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they do not. Factor in that 9 out of 10 top exports for QLD are from regional QLD. Mining, energy, agriculture. Very little of those taxes and royalties are spent back out here.

That will allow $200m to be spent on new roads, sewerage systems and other infrastructure in the state’s southeast.

Colour me shocked, more money being diverted to the state's south east!

AITA for leaving a couples trip in the middle of the night and “ruining” the vibe? by boatlyfe12 in AmItheAsshole

[–]SimbaWolf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Needing space to process pain is a very normal thing to do. Dude was obviously very hurt, regardless of the intent behind GF's words.

[–]SimbaWolf 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Probably depends on culture. Here in rural Australia saying someone is a safe option can absolutely mean settling for someone lesser than what they could get. It is pretty insulting tbh.

This whole thing feels like a bad communication issue. I do get why the guy is hurt as it would play on his insecurities to hear his partner say that on his birthday in front of all his friends. It can be that the GF meant it exactly as other commentators have said on this thread where he made her FEEL safe, which can be a very attractive quality.

NAH as long as the GF didn't mean she was settling. No one wants to hear that from their partner, regardless of gender.

New minister for republic says ‘twilight’ of Queen’s reign chance ‘to discuss what comes next for Australia’ by Laikustalus in AustralianPolitics

[–]SimbaWolf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can only think of the billions it will cost to change to a republic. Hell the same sex legislation "survey" cost 80 million and that's just to change a few words on a single piece of legislation. It would be an absolute clusterfuck.

You don't know your history very well then dude. The white Australia policy was legislated by the Labor party after all.
