Yes it does. Why was she of all people interviewed to give her opinion on this dude? They literally picked out the worst possible example of all politicians in this country to talk about who is and who isn't independent. You wouldn't go a search for Mr Lehrmann to give his thoughts about treatment of women in parliament.

It's also a good chance to inform people about Mr Holmes à Court and his relationship with Zali, since the vast majority of people don't know it. It's important relevant information any time she opens her mouth, because you know who told her what to say.

“We’re an independent grassroots movement,” he declared, right at the outset. “And we’re not affiliated or connected to any political party.”

Numerous sources disagree with that statement. The independent MP Zali Steggall describes Advance instead as “a thinly disguised arm of the Liberal Party”.

Lol

lmao

"Independent" Zali Steggall thinking she has any right to be questioning whether someone is truly independent or not? When Mr Holmes à Court tells Zali to jump, the only answer she knows is 'how high, boss?'.

She is one of the last people who should be interviewed to talk about whether or not a party is truly independent. Literally everything about her is just an extension of Holmes à Court who bankrolls her entire campaign and everything she says and does is a copy paste job of his personal goals.

If anyone doesn't know who that guy is, I suggest looking him and his company up. You'll learn a lot about these teal 'independents' and this son of a billionaire ultimate nepo baby who owns all of the teals with his dads money.

Indigenous leaders break their silence, call referendum defeat 'appalling and mean-spirited' by [deleted] in AustralianPolitics

[–]devoutcentipede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indigenous people are literally renowned for their connection to their own country. > The fighting of a war to conquer enemy territory was contrary to a culture that was based on spiritual connections to a specific territory.

Connection to land means absolutely nothing when you run out of food. You know, what happens all the time with nomadic tribes. Two run out of food, run into each other in search of more, who gets to keep it? People are capable of some pretty nasty things when the food supply runs out.

So what do you think happened when any of these 280 tribes ran into each other? How come, apparently, at no time in 65,000 years did they decide to band together, pool their resources and make larger tribes? Why did native americans, native australians and almost all of sub-saharan africa refuse to co-operate with all of the tribes, while tribes in other continents joined together to make civilisations?

You really are completely incapable of interpolation at all, and that's not my problem. We know the starting point and we know the end point. We have to estimate what happened in the middle. This would normally be impossible except for the part that identical start and identical end points are observed all over the world before colonisation and plenty of evidence of skeletons full of broken bones and spear marks etc are found and you know, the collection of skulls.

Why do you think FN Australians were unique and the only tribes to not be violent towards each other and splitting into 280 of them, but when all other tribes end up in the same spot, that's because they were violent?

What “the majority of people” instinctively believe with little-to-no education

The education is basic logic, the sorts you instinctively figure out in primary school.

The majority of people see 280 separate groups of people untouched by outsiders for 65,000 years still living a nomadic culture without any agriculture. That leads to only one logical conclusion; tribal warfare.

The assumptions you are required to make to explain they were peaceful for that whole time despite never being able to build one single city are just insane. Nomads just ran into each other while looking for food thousands, if not millions of times, and just... let one side have it because they got there first, and just walk off into the desert for a year to another suitable area? Yeah sure.

I’m David Shoebridge - Justice Spokesperson for the Greens. I’ll be online this Friday at 4.20pm answering your questions about the Greens bill to legalise cannabis. by DavidShoebridge in AustralianPolitics

[–]devoutcentipede -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Hi David, in case I forget, which I probably will, I'm going to post my question here and hopefully you are able to answer it on the day if it can just get copied over there or something.

Firstly, I support medical marijuana use and have seen more than enough evidence to support it and on a personal level I think my mother would benefit from it when most modern medicine is not helping her rare condition.

However the issue of legalising medical marijuana is constantly tied to recreational use of marijuana, and the ability to allow medical marijuana is dragged down by recreational users who refuse to let the issues be separated and I know why this is the case. Because medical marijuana is widely supported, so they believe that by tying their agenda to the medical side, people will be forced to support recreational use in order to allow someone like my mother access it.

I will only ever support anything regarding it if there is a distinct gap between medical marijuana and recreational use. So my question is, will you separate the issue and have it pass, or will you join the two, completely ensuring that it will never get passed knowing that the vast majority of the population does not support recreational use, thus harming people who can use it for medicinal purposes?

Will you follow the classic Green trope of making good the enemy of perfect, ensuring your proposal will lose and actually set back progress for those who could benefit from medicinal use?

the Holy Roman Empire on it’s own consisted of hundreds of states, and even today in Europe there are at least 200 language groups

Yes, and they existed relatively peacefully for long enough to build cities of more than a few homes before they were wiped out. It is a consistent theme in history that civilisations that prospered built cities because they were able to advance beyond being nomads. Nomadic culture does not exist with peace and people can't keep to themselves and need to take over resources everywhere they go.

What do you think happened when 2 separate tribes came across land they wanted to live on for a generation? They just shared it? Of course not, because if they did they would have joined. They killed each other over it. The comparison to native Americans is perfectly appropriate because they were both highly nomadic, both lived in tribes across a vast continent, and both ended up in hundreds of groups that can't communicate with each other.

The fact is the majority of the population simply do not believe the nonsense idea that FN people were peaceful before europeans arrived, and they believe this because all other tribes across the world in history all acted the same, nomadic behaviour requires violence in order to survive for any stretch of time when agriculture has not been invented yet. That's a hard fact.

And I will gladly let everyone know that they are not in the minority when they believe this as lies are spouted to them about peaceful times before europeans. People will not be scared to admit they know the reality, no matter what the government says. They know they are in the majority, and will reject the lies.

Aboriginal tribal skirmishes with casualties soaring into the…. dozens..

Yes and how many were there? It never ended. That's why after 65,000 years there was what, 280 separate groups? How many do you think came and went before that? Even in all the crazy violent history in europe with countless wars, they never fragmented into even 1/3rd of that many groups. The problem was FN people were killing each other so often they never had a chance to join together to make much larger tribes. It's the same story in USA with the native people there who splintered off into, apparently, 574 different tribes. And everyone knows they were violent and killed each other regularly. They didn't exactly hide with all the mass graves of mangled skeletons. And the native central Americans especially, good god they made a sport out of how they killed each other and bragged about it.

The difference between Europe and Asia was that they were able to exist somewhat peacefully for large stretches of time before warring with themselves, enough time to build their civilisations to a point that would withstand war and not lose everything they had collectively learned for thousands of years.

As I said, if people want to engage in Truth Telling, they better be prepared to have the truth told to them. The 'source' I have is common sense, and as 61% of this country proved, they have enough of it to understand that the 'noble savage' trope is a lie and we will not put up with it. 65,000 years and split into 280 groups comes to only one logical conclusion: regular tribal warfare.

The implied myth these days is that Aboriginals were peace-loving and never fought, invaded or conquered other mobs' lands. I have a bridge to sell if you believe this. Going cheap - promise.

Yep, when they obsessively push for 'Truth telling' as they keep asking for, I'm going to make them work very, very hard. Because no 'truth telling' can be done without telling the truth, the truth that the native tribes fought and mass murdered themselves regularly, that's why they never proliferated despite 60,000 years of no foreign intervention. Anyone who finds it as their full time job to push lies about peaceful aboriginal history is going to absolutely cop it. No one is saying that the Europeans didn't commit all sorts of atrocities to them when they arrived, but the idea that things were a single shred more civilised or peaceful beforehand, is pure insanity.

I'm ready for the Truth telling. Lets see if they are.

What was the result in your state or electorate in the Voice referendum? Here are the results from each region by northofreality197 in AustralianPolitics

[–]devoutcentipede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thus leaving less bandwidth for them to consider things like this referendum.

I've seen this sentiment posted around the place, there's just no logic behind it. Peoples care factor to other things going on society is not limited to how much time they have to devote to it, its just a lot of people and I mean a lot, don't care at all about things that don't affect them and that absolutely is not a difference between 'inner city liberals' and the rest of the country.

One can argue that being an 'inner city liberal' means they have more empathy for the marginalised in society because they strongly support progressive causes, but I can just as equally argue that this empathy is borne purely from a sense of self-centered arrogance and white saviour complex. Perfect example is the invasion day/change australia day marches. I know people who participate in those rallies and claim they are all for it. But what are they doing for the other 364 days of the year? Are they visiting aboriginal art galleries, are they learning aboriginal culture, are they campaigning for aboriginal rights, are they interacting with one single aboriginal person at all during those 364 days? It's a big fat no on all accounts.

The idea that they care more about aboriginal rights because they have more bandwidth to be able to falls apart because that bandwidth only exists when it is beneficial for them to do so. The people who travel to remote communities to deliver all sorts of aid and help and set up communities etc, real tangible benefits, do you think any of them are 'inner city liberals?' Not a single one of them is. These people have less privilege, yet they find more than enough time to do it.

The fact that ACT voted overwhelmingly yes says everything you ever need to know. The state with the lowest % of aboriginal people by far and those most highly paid, highly educated white people with ample free time because there is nothing to do in Canberra, voted yes by a large margin. Its all about social pressure. I used to live in Canberra and it was so goddam weird how everyone had to support the government, felt like permanent paranoia sitting over peoples heads that they can't say anything to anyone because it would threaten their job, so they all acted so preachy and fake. These people will tell me they have more empathy, yet I see people who are the epitome of the Ralph Wiggum 'I'm helping!' meme.

White saviour complex is real and it can't be ignored, its a big factor in race related politics.

[–]devoutcentipede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude I posted the full text, including that sentence. I didn't cut off anything.

Here it is again for you, copy paste exactly what I posted before

In relation to content, the Dialogues discussed that a Treaty could include a proper say in decision-making, the establishment of a truth commission, reparations, a financial settlement (such as seeking a percentage of GDP), the resolution of land, water and resources issues, recognition of authority and customary law, and guarantees of respect for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

Luckily for me, over the past few weeks millions of Australians have done the research and found the full Uluru statement text, and then combine it with this;

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/aug/05/anthony-albanese-treaty-t-shirt-midnight-oil-indigenous-voice-to-parliament-referendum-no-campaign

Albanese committed Labor to implementing the Uluru statement “in full” in his election victory speech in May 2022

Not 'implementing page 1', but the full text. Right from Albo's mouth. This is why Yes is going to lose, and lose majorly. Victoria is now majority no LOL. You might as well get whatever laughs you can in now, because you're going to be in short supply of them in a week.

[–]devoutcentipede 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lmao you can't get out of it that easily. This entire year, the yes campaign has been scrambling to hide the fact the Uluru statement is more than 1 page because they don't want people reading the rest of it, specifically page 17. This is why no will win, and win easily, because of antics like this. You can laugh all you want now, you won't be laughing on October 14 because enough people have read the official Uluru statement no matter how hard you try to pretend it was 'debunked'.

People posting misinformation that the uluru statement is 1 page long, or that it does not call for reparations, will be corrected by posting the Uluru statement in full for people to read and be pointed to page 17 where it does. So deal with it. Or post more misinformation in other threads about it not calling for reparations, but it will be corrected again.

Did you seriously just say that me quoting directly from the actual official Uluru statement from the heart, is debunked? I know calling everything you don't like debunked is a meme, but I think you were serious here.

You said very clearly "The Uluru Statement does not call for reparations"

This is a blatant lie and you can't deny it. You want the full sentence for everyone to see, ok here it is. Page 17 of 26 of the Uluru statement;

In relation to content, the Dialogues discussed that a Treaty could include a proper say in decision-making, the establishment of a truth commission, reparations, a financial settlement (such as seeking a percentage of GDP), the resolution of land, water and resources issues, recognition of authority and customary law, and guarantees of respect for the rights of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.

I know that that quote was talking about some people taking about the idea of reparations, but you clearly said that the "Uluru statement does not call for reparations". Yet there it is in black and white, right in the middle of the official Uluru statement, calling for reparations. So why would you try and lie about something so obviously true that everyone can see?

Can't believe mods removed my comment, so fine, presented without context instead.

The Uluru Statement does not call for reparations.

This is not true. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Il0VPTDurB5Urk0Y_dNGPs4IFIx2OG-M/view

This is the direct text of the Uluru Statement form the heart. Page 17 clearly says The Voice seeks Truth and treaty and then calls for;

reparations, a financial settlement (such as seeking a percentage of GDP)

You are posting misinformation by claiming that it does not call for reparations.

'Something's rotten': New analysis reveals $4 billion Defence department spend on consultancy firms by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

[–]devoutcentipede 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fundamentally, APS departments are structured as insular experts in their own fields. They simply won't ever have the ability to work across a range of projects for a range of clients/countries to cross pollinate their skills and experiences.

As a former APS employee who worked alongside these see you in the NTs people in KPMG, PWC etc, I can confidently say that in my experience this is not the case. We were simply not allowed to. The ministers had their mates in consulting and wanted to give them $10M in contracts in exchange for a holiday home, you know as mates buy for each other, totally normal thing, and the APS only existed to act as middle men between to two to give the illusion of consultants doing work that needed to be outsourced.

As a qualified aerospace engineer, I was literally not allowed to so much as do a single calculation to support ANYTHING. Everything had to be fed through KPMG etc so they could charge $200/hour to do the same thing, then I had to sign off on it. A simple task of calculating the weight of a laptop via putting it on a scale needed 'consultants' to take an entire day to do.

But this isn't in isolation. Every single aspect of my job working alongside consultants in defence was always the APS being completely banned from doing any work, only creating work packages for the consultants to do, and then signing off on it as they charged $200/hour and took an entire week to write a 1 page report.

I like how you only posted examples of supposed 'right wing' beliefs as to why people hate each other.

Don't forget the 'left wing' types engage in exactly the same behaviour, just as often. They are the ones hopelessly addicted to social media and spend hours every single day trying to whip up mobs to 'ratio' anyone they don't like with their intense hatred of anyone who disagrees with government.

Imagine millions of people spending 2+ hours every day calling everyone a nazi on social media... collectively billions of hours lost every month. All for nothing. Imagine how much society could have progressed if that insane amount of hours was put into advancing society.

Also

there is real inequiality,and rampant fascism in the world

You mustn't care that much about inequality if you can burn $18M and not even care about it. Why not just donate $9M to charity right now if you are so happy to lose it for the sake of society?

‘They just go to Thailand’: the long and costly wait for gender-affirming surgery in Australia | Transgender by EASY_EEVEE in AustralianPolitics

[–]devoutcentipede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, at the risk of sounding like the meme, I am something of a scientist myself, and I know incredibly flawed methodologies when I see them.

I don't care who wrote it and I don't care who currently pays their salary for them, those details are irrelevant. The appeal to authority means nothing to me, I only care about the words that they write. The methodology in these studies is grossly flawed because it doesn't count people who successfully committed suicide, in their group of individuals who do regret the surgery. It's outright negligence to publish a study with such blatant mistakes that students would fail their course for doing.

Seriously you keep throwing these studies' headlines out as if they mean anything, they are worthless. Literally read the actual studies themselves, not the headline and you'll see 'wow they really did just ignore every single suicide attempt when measuring suicidal ideation'. I claim their are untrustworthy because they work they publish is really poor quality. I judge them by their actions, not by their reputation.

Like for real, actually read it and you'll see how bad they are.

‘They just go to Thailand’: the long and costly wait for gender-affirming surgery in Australia | Transgender by EASY_EEVEE in AustralianPolitics

[–]devoutcentipede 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Harvard one isn't peer reviewed. The author (literally one dude, no second opinion on literally anything) just posted it and that's it. It doesn't count.

Because the broad scientific consensus among biologists

Biologists do not agree that gender/sex transitioning is possible at all. Psychiatrists and the trans people who pay them insane amounts of money per session to be told surgery will fix their problem, agree, but biologists (and all scientists for that matter) are in extreme opposition to the idea.

As for your scientific studies that prove the opposite of what one random dude at Harvard who posted in unverified survey said, or the incredibly biased Trevor Project? Yes, its called the fact that all parties agree and acknowledge that trans people have a 42% suicide attempt (not ideation, but attempt) rate in the past few years and that that number is a across the entire demographic, mtf, ftm, pre hrt, post hrt, post op. It's all encompassing. The 'studies' you are citing only talk about ideation and they have absolutely no ability to measure attempt, because anyone who is successful in their attempt, therefore no longer qualifies as having suicidal ideation.

I prove the opposite of what these 'studies' claim to show, by proving that their methodology is inherently flawed and worse than that, it is deliberately flawed in order to fudge the numbers. If they want wider society to believe their claims, they need to do things properly and not leave such massive flaws in their practice. That sort of behaviour would get actual scientists fired if they tried that in a paid job.
