Yeah, really feels like a ‘keeping up with the jones’. I mean disrupt burrup protestors were probably the most consequential in the last few years here, and they’ve been pretty badly stamped upon by a quite authoritarian reaction from the cops. Not sure theres even a case here for more powers, but there you go.
“People who are leaving these comments, I don’t even think they know why they are mad.” Misdale said. “Its moved on from just being generic homophobic to stuff to ‘Go back to Israel’”.
The entertainer said they were at a loss to understand why they were now getting antisemitic comments given that they are not Jewish, and have never made any public comments in the conflict in the region or Middle Eastern politics.
You know what would really drive EV uptake… cheaper EVs.
At this point I think we need a State supplied car design book, a bit like NSW did for housing.
Like some kind of pre-approved powertrain and chassis book that smaller companies can just come along, whack a ‘skin’ and a badge on top and sell. Analogous to Makita/Dewalt type tool but for cars.
I just don’t understand why theres all these luxury EVs coming into Australia to service the top of the market, but theres near enough no EVs making waves in the low cost car market.
Its bad faith arguing all the way down. They know, we know, they know we know. And now they’ve just made our Prime Minister embarass himself and the whole nation, by having Herzog, and his very political plus one Yaakov Hagoel - link to place in episode, spotify, here in Australia. Cheers for the info Scott and Os of Lamestream
Weirdly I don’t blame the PM for that decision, yet, the pressure he and his team were under across xmas seems intense. But its what they do now they’ve had some clear air that will decide whether i revisit apportionment of blame for my own score keeping.
Yeah, keeps doing that for me. The article is within the first ten on that page once you cancel the email request for me. So its quite easy to find without going to archive. I’d favour giving deepcut the click through if possible.
Also, i checked and its not up on archive.md and i’m not sure the legals around archiving it myself. Sorry mate, i’ll have to read up a bit more about that side of archives before being comfortable doing it.
Pretty much agree with other people’s comments here.
For my State community, this has been accounted for in the name of the Perth/Western Australia community. To make it clear the community is for the city and the State.
Maybe its different in a city like Perth, but too many people are invested in both the country and the city for it to make sense that they have different communities for what is essentially different parts of their life.
It also has the added benefit of attempting to narrow the country-metro divide that news organisations promote through their different programming decisions. They’re limited by broadcast space in a day, a community on Aussie.zone is limited by the server capacity Lodion has organised, in other words we could afford a lot of varied posts different demographics would find interesting under the one banner.
…the point is we have a society built to accept and accomodate the fact that humanity isn’t a monolith
Lots of protests i don’t agree with that I’m glad weren’t effective. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have been allowed. Don’t know where you’re from, but in Australia we try to respect the fact all people are different and accomodate that fact. Emphasis on the try.

Some good ones in there.
Cool model. Can’t get over the size of the bow though… that guys compensating for something.
10,000 more people in the city is huge. That is so much larger than i ever imagined.
Also, hooli dooli i didn’t realise, or i’d forgotten, WAAPA was moving with them. Having WAAPA right alongside Blue note theatre, Ledger theatre, down the road from His Majesty’s and within spitting distance of a multitude of other venues, we could end up with a very rich live theatre and music scene. Maybe in time even our own kind of Westend.
Very exciting times for the city :)
Yeah, na. You’re not taking the time to understand the heirarchy in place exactly to mitigate the confusion about what really constitutes a country of origin.
So below is the country of origin standards from competition and consumer law act 2010 (cth)
On page 8-9 of the Australian Made, Australian Grown (amag) code of practice you’ll see they basically refer to the definitions of country of origin set out in the table in section 255 of the Act (screenshot above). Along with some examples of what is not considered ‘substantial transformation’.

The Australian Made, Australian Grown campaign is and always will be linked to the Federal Government, meaning any owners (Currently a non-profit run by the Australian Chamber of Commerce network) have to meet certain requirements including upholding the campaigns authoritive acceptance.

I think a lot of Australians haven’t taken the time to understand how country of origin works in Australian consumer law. Basically ‘made in’ is a lower standard to meet, than ‘product of’ or ‘grown in’. With the lower expectations of ‘made in’ set right in people’s minds I think a lot of confusion could be avoided.
Maybe easier/graphical explanations of this aspect could form part of your buy Oceanian project?
So this website should help you out a lot.

Edit:
Looks like this is the kiwi version,
No more fucking about with these ‘land bankers’ eminent domain, redevelop, i’m sick of waiting for people who have no interest or stake in the communities they’re suffocating.
I think i know the part of the zoo it was in. Its a heat light room with only glass fences, maybe abdomen height, the turtles are near the entrance. I remember thinking its actually quite easy to get to the animals in there, although theres always a zoo keeper or two in there.
Its sad, because in that area you could feel really quite close to the animals. I expect they’ll have to change things a bit now.
Sydney Town Hall was a poor choice or a good choice then? To you.
Look, we’re in protest positioning and tactics here. Its essential for the scope of ways to protest be necessarily broad, to allow for the creativity that often accompanies effective protests. You seem to be arguing for a quite narrow definition of allowable/effective protest, and we’re just going to have to agree to disagree.
Just stop oil with the paint in the museums et al; Rosa Parks on the bus; Japanese Bus drivers refusing money; Palestine Action Group over the harbour bridge. They’re all acceptable and creative forms of protest to me. Whether they’re effective isn’t the point, the point is we have a society built to accept and accomodate the fact that humanity isn’t a monolith.
Hmm, i want that lamb. A custard tart wouldn’t go astray either.
Its been butter chicken this week, possibly made it a bit too spicy, used the Providore spice mix.
But a disaster struck the house, with throw-ups galore among the littluns, wasn’t the butter chicken, started before that, but it could’ve been the kebabs on the weekend. Or something totally different, I don’t know.
An echidna on a beach? I thought they were bush turkeys, not surf bandits! The more you know.
You’re still awake!? I thought you’d have called it after the ‘analogous’ fiasco. :p
That’s interesting, i’d’ve thought it would be the other round. ‘er’ seems more basic than ‘or’. I guess the brits are the basic bitches this time. Oh how the turns have tabled.
Wtf, what a gem!
Why is everyone so hell bent on neglecting the fundamental tenets on which a peaceful, and prosperous Australia relies.
Do these politicians not understand the moral and practical principles behind due process and presumption of innocence?
