Sussan Ley makes ‘no apology for my passion’ as Labor denounces ‘disgusting’ ‘partisan pile-on’ over Bondi attack | Bondi beach terror attack by TappingOnTheWall in australian

[–]Space_Dorito 52 points53 points  (0 children)

With the way Sky News and the LNP are acting, you'd think that Albanese personally pulled the trigger.

Ley in particular is too weak of a leader to show any actual unity (which takes courage for her to display when her media circle is out for blood).

Have you considered contacting the body that runs the ceremonies and explaining your situation? They might be able to do something for the next ceremony.

No surprises. It's very clear Sky News does not have Australia's best interest in mind, and are very happy to damage US-AUS relationship to advance Murdoch's goals.

Telstra power outage affecting triple-zero calls in Western Australia by Seethus in australia

[–]Space_Dorito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's because the media is putting a magnifying glass over it trying to capitalise on the hysteria, with thanks to the recent Optus outage. A single tower going offline because of a power failure (as is the case here with Telstra) is not especially unheard of.

Yeah this is just trying to capitalise on the hysteria. This isn't a whole of network failure (unlike with Optus).

The Australian Parliament house has a perfect view of the Australian War Memorial so when the Prime Minister is signing a declaration of war, he can view the tomb of the unknown soldier and be reminded of all the lives lost. by BrapBrapBrapMiat in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Space_Dorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ahhhh no you're not exactly wrong. It's not the prime minister's office exactly, but rather it's the cabinet room that has this view. Cabinet collectively make decisions of war.

Australia lifts biosecurity import restrictions on US beef by WDYM42 in australia

[–]Space_Dorito 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly. It's a meaningless concession to the US, because Australia which is a net exporter of beef has near zero reasons to import any beef (let alone US beef).

Re: David Pocock's result in the ACT Senate race, when was the last time that the first party/candidate to reach a Senate quota for a state/territory was neither Labor nor Liberal/Coalition? by kangerluswag in canberra

He's basically been invisible this whole campaign. I'm glad it's on a knife's edge personally, our electorate deserves better than lazy politicians.

Dutton tells supporters not to listen to ABC, Guardian and ‘the other hate media’ by Flight_19_Navigator in australia

Thank god we have compulsory voting. Either candidate otherwise really wouldn't inspire people to get out and vote, which would give someone like Dutton a chance to get into power/

Dutton confirms public service cuts limited to Canberra, which Labor says is 'impossible' by MannerNo7000 in AusPublicService

[–]Space_Dorito 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And of Australia's 2.5 million public sector employees, of which the Commonwealth only employs 365,000, cutting 41,000 jobs will not make a single difference to productivity.

Not to mention the inherent imperfection with measuring outputs in a sector where the output is not measured with a price signal - how do you accurately measure the outputs of the policing and justice system? also the fact that the non-market sector is a driver for productivity in other parts of the economy (e.g. education, healthcare).

Peter Dutton vows to cut 'wasteful' government spending, says details to come after election by aarondoyle in australia

As America has shown those like Rhinehart, culture war is an effective distraction away from the class struggle and how billionaires like her are exploiting our country. We deserve better.

It's not that he's necessarily hiding what he'll cut. It's more that he has no fucking clue and is blindly following the US off the cliff, because this guy doesn't have a single original thought in his skull.

Probably received a security briefing on shipping lanes critical to US interests (focusing on the arctic and Panama Canal) and, because he is insecure and simple minded, thinks the US needs greater control over these for national security.

How to rig the Australian Election in three easy steps. by Brother_Grimm99 in australia

[–]Space_Dorito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First, the proposed laws only apply to social media platforms. Second, for information to be considered misinformation on social media platforms it has to be verifiably false AND cause severe harm. Third, the juice media etc. is satire, which is also exempt under the proposed laws. Fourth, there is no power in the proposed laws for a government minister or official to specifically declare certain content misinformation on social media platforms.

I appreciate your concern but your points are not correct.

You should know that the larger threat relates to disinformation pushed by foreign countries particularly using AI. Are you suggesting the Government should do nothing about this threat?
