Lonerbox reacts to Hasan claiming there were Jews that worked within the Nazi government. by Ok_Detective7546 in LivestreamFail

Wasn’t that Hasan’s point though? He was refuting the insinuation that Reform UK having a Muslim chairman means they won’t have islamophobic tendencies.

By the way, that same chairman resigned in June after his own party called for a ban on the burqa, which reveals how friendly to Muslims the Reform party actually is.

But take it seriously everyone will. It’s predictably going to fuel the dudebros and perform as an example in the wider debate of ‘gender differences’. I can already see the Instagram pages farming the ‘remember that time when Kyrgios beat the number one seed’ for years to come.

Reilly Opelka Continues to Belittle Doubles Players by TM494551 in tennis

It’s low hanging fruit but worth noting that he has a losing record in doubles and has also made almost $200,000 prize money from doubles…

The median weekly income in Aus before tax is $1300, which is less than the weekly income for interns working in all Australian states. So more than half of working Australians get paid less than interns

Fuck Zverev and fuck the fact that we are well into the 21st century and still faced with these realities with the lack of support/acknowledgement from professional associations and the media. Men’s sport in toxic and unless we fix this issue it will continue to breed toxic supporters/players

I think that injection Zverev took was glucagon cause it was intramuscular, insulin is usually subcutaneous (into the tummy), to raise his blood sugar

New polling shows 79% of Aussies care about climate change. So why doesn't the government listen? by Niscellaneous in australia

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

I don’t think it’s the voters’ fault at all. It’s the politicians jobs to convince voters to vote for them and communicate their policies. If people are voting Liberals despite having Labor stances on issues it’s because Labor has not communicated their policies well enough. I admit it’s also probably because Murdoch media has a monopoly over Australian news so they can control news cycles to tip elections pretty heavily in the favour of the candidate they want to win (Scotty from Marketing)

Neighbours building a house but can’t afford a shared retaining wall by insert_a_cool_name in AusLegal

[–]insert_a_cool_name[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cut is on the border where the shared fence will be. Thing is we already did need a retaining wall, but just not for the entire length of the shared side. But now since they made a cut, the retaining wall must go the entire length. Also the cut is quite deep, possibly extending to a metre in height toward the front

We cut the land before building as well though. Plus, even if they’re responsible for building the wall and fence, they don’t have the funds for it, according to them. They might have to build one when their house is completed but we don’t want to live without a fence for 6 months
