- Comment on Greens announce plan to wipe HECS debts and make university free 1 week ago:
Fuck me, the “rhetorical” question in the lede is answered in the article, buried in the nteenth paragraph.
The policy proposal falls under the Greens’ so-called ‘Robin Hood reforms’ and they have said they will pay for the plan by “taxing big corporations that are profiting off price gouging during a cost of living crisis”.
This is borderline disinformation by the national broadcaster.
- Comment on Greens announce plan to wipe HECS debts and make university free 1 week ago:
This is even worse than when journalists normally ask this question. It’s a debt not a payment.
They will pay for it by finding a $2 coin in the centre console of their government funded car to buy a biro to cross off the line item.
- Comment on High court quashes Albanese government’s ankle bracelet and curfew regime for former immigration detainees 2 weeks ago:
This is such an obvious conclusion of this saga that I have to assume that Labor saw it coming. If so, it implies that they made a political calculation that it was better for their reaction to be struck down months later than to let the original high court ruling stand.
And they were willing to violate the constitution and fuck with peoples lives for political expedience.

- Comment on Police use capsicum spray on neo-Nazis after clash at Melbourne asylum seeker rally 4 weeks ago:
Am I missing something or does the article not make sense?
Police formed a line to separate the far-right group from a group of around 300 asylum seeker demonstrators and were forced to use capsicum spray.
Victoria Police said there were no arrests and no reports of injury and they are reviewing footage of the incident.
So did they choose not to arrest neo-nazis breaking the law or did they deploy chemical weapons on people that weren’t breaking the law?

No. “New moon” is just the night side of the moon facing us. A lunar eclipse is when the Earth blocks sunlight from the moon, which can only occur on a full moon approximately every six months.
