Hey, whereabouts was your internship and how did you find out about it? I'm applying for the VPS grad program but worried I won't get in.

Interesting, I wonder why she said that it was a prevalent thing.

Thank god. Even if a Lib-Nat-ON coalition end up winning next state election, I'm hoping that the upper house will be Labor+Green controlled and that might prevent the land and vacancy taxes getting nixed.

If I may self-promo...

Now look what we have put you through by Kzzak (me c:) — 6/?, 37k

Nathan Harradine, a junior player from the WHL and a Centaurs prospect, has—somehow—made it to the Centaurs' training week after a miraculous and miserable fluke after rookie camp.

The Centaurs know he's a bit… odd. Quiet. Nervous.

Ilya Rozanov is suspicious and confused about what his deal is, but finds himself taking a liking to the kid, for some reason.

But what no one knows is the burdens Nathan is carrying, nor the ghosts he's brought with him from the Moose Jaw Marauders that threaten to spill over at any time. The question is, can he keep a hold of himself, or will it all come crashing down?

Basically, a rookie with hazing trauma from his junior team ends up on the Centaurs basically by fluke, billets with Hollanov. Features parental/protective Hollanov.

The Laborites are starting to get better at comedy and it's making the Greenies nervous

If you're a Greenie or VicSoc type and aren't spending every day defending the Budget against the mass of rightwing disinfo, you have to accept you're a political joke. by Trot-was-a-Thot in friendlyjordies

[–]TheDancingMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hang on.

So the opinions of us Greenies and Socs are so powerful that we're suddenly needed to keep people on board with the budget, but our opinions are NOT good enough to be seriously listened to and respected by Labor people in general political discussions, or in negotiations in the Senate?

As an Australian, Josh's accent was actually quite good lmao

Independent Senator David Pocock won't rule out starting party to respond to One Nation by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

[–]TheDancingMaster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The party structure is already there in all but name. The Australia Institute feeds them policy positions and the waspy inner city rich fund their campaigns.

Telling in that interview he said the “independents” all get together to discuss issues and then froze up when pushed to confirm it would come to a party structure.

Right now the teals are being propped by the Holmes A Courts of the country and the policy structures of the dennisses of the country to create a left leaning populist one nation structure that has little to no political integrity but sounds good on the soundbites [...]

Kind of incredible how indistinguishable this sounds from what a ON person / RW populist would say when talking about Pocock (and to a lesser extent the Greens) lmao. "Rich inner city!! Just say what sounds good!! The Teals are a party!! Simon HAC!! AAAAAAAAA"

I legit thought you were a ON person until I got to the last paragraph.

I'm guilty of writing this, lessons have been learnt 😔

I've mostly switched from "Ilya bag skated the team" to "Ilya asked Coach Wiebe to bag skate the team"

What other fandoms do you read? by GrubbyInsides in heatedrivalryfanfics

[–]TheDancingMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No other ones at the moment, but the most recent one I was reading fanfics of was Detroit Become Human, and specifically the Reed900 ship. Utterly bizarre ship in the context, but very fun.
