- Comment on Rupert Murdoch is now a shadow director of the ABC after completing a takeover of ABC news programs 1 week ago:
It is disingenuous to call facts alarmist. It is alarming.
The example I gave from Insiders is what is alarmist, using lies. As is the example of ABC pretending Albo hijacked the DV rally whereas the full video which ABC deliberately cropped shows the truth.

- Comment on Should we allow job-sharing in parliament? 3 weeks ago:
They wouldn’t have two votes in parliament if they win a seat as you seem to have misunderstood. They said that whoever of the two was rostered that week would vote on a bill.
reddit.com/Australia is very hostile to the idea but I am partial to it, especially because it makes campaigning feasible when it otherwise might not be.
The main problem I see (which nobody has mentioned) is that politicians develop relationships with each other, even sometimes with opposition members. These relationships are important but the job-sharing thing weakens the chance of rapport.

Soulism is a school of anarchist thought which argues that reality, the laws of physics, and the limitations of our bodies are unjust heirarchies which must be abolished.

That Lincombe guy who said it was a famous dude for being smart and shit apparently. What do I know?

TBH I didn’t understand your soulism comment or how it is connected with your original comment.
I was really just supporting your original comment.

The world has never had a good definition of the word liberty, and the American people, just now, are much in want of one. We all declare for liberty; but in using the same word we do not all mean the same thing.
With some the word liberty may mean for each man to do as he pleases with himself, and the product of his labor; while with others the same word may mean for some men to do as they please with other men, and the product of other men’s labor.
Here are two, not only different, but incompatible things, called by the same name, liberty. And it follows that each of the things is, by the respective parties, called by two different and incompatible names, liberty and tyranny.
The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep’s throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as a liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty, especially as the sheep was a black one. Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed upon a definition of the word liberty.

I’m biased towards paragraphs.
Otherwise, good point: understanding the other side is a good way to somehow being able to work together.

FFS we are relying on Liberals to oppose this. youtu.be/_3eLYLyQf3Q?si=JrBqwaBn4hrlXNIW
Reminds me of how Liberals opposed the Australia Card proposed by Labor in the 80’s.
But this time Libs don’t have the numbers. Time to lobby the Greens.

Munich central train station toilet had donations when I was there in 2012. Money went to charity. It was so clean though that I sat in the cubicle longer than usual before heading out into the hustle and bustle of the streets.
