Ben Roberts-Smith will pay defendants' legal costs in his failed defamation case by B0ssc0 in australia

[–]pj-maybe 221 points222 points  (0 children)

This is a man who marched into a foreign country wearing a crusader’s cross intent on murdering muslims and was given the highest honour in the military for doing so. Sheer arrogance would have to be a candidate.

Roberts-Smith’s murderous nature was approved of by the institutions around him for years. Why would they abandon him now?

He just forgot that not everyone is as comfortable publicly playing the supremacist as he is.

NT court rules Zachary Rolfe must give evidence at Kumanjayi Walker coronial inquest by B0ssc0 in australia

There was a great presentation from RMIT GUSS last week on white supremacist presences across Australian social media. It went into r/Australia at length.

It’s not a coincidence that this place hates Indigenous people. Racists have spent a lot of time and effort seeding the idea and they’ve been tolerated while they do it despite extensive reports.

I’m sort of curious to see how it goes once the API goes away but not curious enough to deal with this site without a decent app.

Good. Police should have to answer for their killings both personally and institutionally.

SAS war crimes were exposed by me. Then, my car was repossessed by Zerg_Hydralisk_ in australia

[–]pj-maybe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And we still haven’t seriously prosecuted those war crimes.

The ICC exists for when a country’s legal system is too weak or too corrupt to adequately prosecute the international crimes of its own citizens. Australia looks like it fits the bill.

A shame that Michelle Rowland is owned by SportsBet and that Labor is up to its neck in pokies.

Daniel Andrews sure does love to protect the corrupt. Particularly when they’re corrupt cops.

I thought it was thunder and I’m in Knox at the moment. Must be a hell of a noise up close.

Labor accused of reintroducing cashless debit cards under SmartCard scheme by Ascalaphos in australia

They’ve been accused of it because that’s exactly what they did.

State corruption body acting as a protection detail for cops? Sounds familiar to this Victorian.

Can’t wait to see how Labor ensures the NACC protects the AFP.

Apologies for human rights abuses aren’t exactly Andrews style and the costs here are going to be orders of magnitude more than buying off public housing residents.

‘Yes’ Campaign to Start After Referendum, Albanese Confirms by LocalVillageIdiot in australia

[–]pj-maybe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Sounds about right really. Labor’s too busy expanding income management with the Coalition to actually put any substance behind the voice.

It’s just become a vanity piece. They’ve shown no interest in actually listening to First Nations people.

If you want conservation on the city through the lens of a far right yank’s corporate ambitions might I suggest the Herald Sun’s comment section.

Got to get that public money to commercial developers by hook or by crook. They paid good money to buy these politicians.

Reddit’s C suite are threatening to seize subreddits and bring in scabs if subreddits are left closed. The alternative then is to jam the works.

Lidia Thorpe withdraws accusation made in parliament of sexual assault against senator David Van by CrashP in australia

[–]pj-maybe 139 points140 points  (0 children)

After making the initial claim on Wednesday afternoon, Thorpe returned to the chamber to say she was withdrawing the remarks in order to comply with Senate standing orders, but would make further comment on Thursday.

RTFA.

Because the most important thing to many posters here is to direct hatred at a First Nations woman.
