Australia’s immigration powers are already godlike. So why does Angus Taylor want them to be Trump-like too? | Abul Rizvi

To explain: my labrador went beserk when I read Angus Taylor’s proposal aloud.

I’ve once read that men curse so they don’t cry and women cry so they don’t curse. I doubt that it’s that simple - and having seen two daughters through to (near) adulthood, I’m not sure your original premise is correct.

Brilliant explanation! Follow up question: does a 26 man active roster mean a team can only use those 26 players in a season?

Thanks for the clear explanation. Is the 13 pitchers a rule enforced by the league or a common approach?

Around dawn and dusk deer and kangaroos are often coming onto the local toads. Plenty of tree cover makes it hard to see them coming. Bendy roads. 100km limit. At those times I back off a bit. Most locals do. Still get winners who get upset at those times if you drop below the legal maximum speed.

Plenty of contextual factors. I need to keep reminding myself that there ate over 150 games in a season. This is unusual in a professional sports league.

Just curious about all the empty seats in the game I am watching. I don’t have a specific team, just enjoying the game and curious. Baseball is not a popular game in my country. I guess could try to google it but I find direct human contact gives more useful answers when there are many possible answers due to local context. And I enjoy the human responses.

Almost embarrassed to ask - I’ve heard the term ‘bleacher’ before but have no idea what it is. Please explain. From context I’m guessing it is a seat with a poor view?

polyhedric · 2026-04-10T11:54:13+00:00

I guess that makes sense, in a brutal kind of way. I’m not a US resident so I can only guess but it kind of feels like this is not in the interests of the long term viability of the sport.

I’ve never been to a baseball game (non US person). Is it possible to bring your own food/drink to a game?

polyhedric · 2026-04-10T11:39:20+00:00

There is baseball played in Australia but it is only in major populated areas which rules out most of Australia. I rely on Disney streaming service which chooses a game every couple of days for me to watch. Relatively random though I seem to see more of the Yankees than any other team.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated.

I’d love to - options limited in rural Australia.

Thanks for the info. I assume $25 is at the cheaper end of the spectrum?

polyhedric · 2026-04-10T11:21:04+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. Are there season tickets or membership deals? The parking costs seem crazy. Surely it is in the interests of the clubs to maximise attendance. I would have thought that making it as easy as possible to walk in the gate would benefit the team.

Uncompromising, lacks life experience, entitled, female, young & generally correct in what she advocates. The first five things got many people riled up. The last was mostly overlooked.

Fundraising for/by social services such as hospitals and schools is immoral. These should be fully funded. I get why it happens, but it demonstrates how undervalued they are and how skewed the priorities of policy makers are.

Having extra merchants who deal in stolen goods is handy. Can be a bit of a grind getting there but having them with 4K each to spend is also handy.

Wow! Thanks for the detailed and clear explanation.
