This was a press club address like no other. Lengthy, fiery, action-packed. Now even the police have been called in.
One Nation would be thrilled with the attention.

like Sky News, who have already called this event a “failed stunt” (lol)
That’s kind of what I’m a bit worried about, they will use this to fuel the war they think they’re having

Where are you seeing promotion from the mass media? Not just like reporting on what she says but actually promoting her

Mate, have you heard some of the shit conservative Christians say?
Yes, I have been debating religious people since roughly 2003, hence why I’m quick to leave these “debates”, im simply repeating myself for the 1000th time
And half our pollies are some sort of Christian, both left and right wing.
You’re not wrong ?
I detest them too? Nice own goal there? But your support is appreciated
Just because you’re a Catholic does not mean you’re a child rapist like Cardinal Pell. And just because you’re a Muslim doesn’t mean you hate all the infidels like the Ayatollah.
Correct however go lookup some statistics on what Muslims believe
There’s plenty of Muslim lefties out there, and centrists, and corporate ghouls, and bigots.
Yes I call them slippery fish, every religious person has their own version of religion, plenty of “muslims” who drink beer, smoke and don’t lower their gazes before the women
This does not change the fundamental beliefs of Islam are not something I wish to entertain and my support of a total ban of restrictive Islamic clothing for women
- Comment on As voter disillusionment grows, why aren't voters flocking to the Greens in Australia? 6 days ago:
You’re not correct in your statement
Feel free to talk to them as I have, you have to go deeper than surface level discussions of course, really get in deep, you’ll find they are much closer in beliefs to a muslim family first than the greens but they will vote for the greens if it means getting a muslim member into parliament
Now where did you put family first on your list of votes last time 🤔
Undercover report: Muslim leaders urges women to total submission
Six of the representatives were taped as they explained how according to the Koran, a Muslim woman is not allowed to deny her husband sex – it is his right, even against her will.

I mean, encouraging rape sounds a bit extremist to me? But hey it’s only “one of Sweden’s most respected, and well-frequented, mosques is located at the heart of Stockholm, at Medborgarplatsen”
Radio Sweden coverage of the same investigation notes that 6 out of 10 mosques gave advice to women seeking help that didn’t align with Swedish law, including advising against filing a police report.
More than 40 people have been arrested after violent clashes in Sweden between police and people angry at plans by a far-right group to burn copies of the Quran.

Jeez they REALLY don’t like Islam 😅 I don’t think I’ve seen even 1 koran burned here
If Australians detest anything its not having access to toilet paper.
When people were asked about negative attitudes towards different faith groups, 21 to 25 per cent of those interviewed said they held negative views about Muslims, but the rate in the self-completion survey was almost double at 40 per cent.
In 2018, asked whether they felt positive, negative or neutral towards Muslims, 23 per cent of those polled said they felt ‘very negative’ or ‘somewhat negative’, increasing to 39 per cent when answering anonymously. Results were similar in 2017.

Not to mention you’re insulting hundreds of thousands of your own countrymen, 👏 well done you, who share your Australian values and have Islamic faith
This is what you sound like:
Jeez you really think all these people are extremist? You’re crazy man, not every nazi is extremist, only some of them, try connecting with your local nazi, you’ll find you both have a lot in common :)
- Comment on Melbourne trains finally arrive in the Myki-less era with tap-and-go payments, almost a decade after Sydney 1 week ago:
what did sydney and brisbane do?
according to theto eternal ai machine:
Good amount of detail here. Here’s the TLDR:
The core problem: built from scratch by a bad contractor
Every other Australian city’s system was built on pre-existing technology from suppliers with proven track records — in fact many of those suppliers tendered for Myki — but Victoria ended up with a system built from the ground up.  That single decision explains most of the pain.
In July 2005, Victoria awarded a $500 million contract to the Keane Australia Micropayment Consortium (KAMCO), with a planned go-live of March 2007. By December 2007 it was already 9 months late and $500 million over budget.  It ultimately cost $1.3 billion.
The tram problem
Melbourne’s tram network — the largest in the world — made this uniquely hard. Unlike trains or buses, trams have hundreds of stops with no gates and huge passenger throughput at peak hour. The system required a reader on every tram, train, and bus, and the complex distance/time-based fare calculation meant the readers had to do significant computation on each tap — unlike simpler flat-fare systems elsewhere.  Early trials showed Myki actually slowed trams down at busy stops. Concerns about touch-off delays at tram stops had been raised for some time, with early trials showing it slowed trams down significantly. 
The rushed launch made it worse
The rollout was rushed to meet a political promise, and at launch there were faulty top-up machines, an online top-up process that took up to 24 hours, and reader response times of almost 2 seconds — about twice as slow as Sydney’s Opal. 
Brisbane got lucky by going simple and early
Brisbane’s Go Card launched in 2008 on buses only, no trams, flat zones, off-the-shelf tech. Much simpler problem space, much cheaper to solve. The assessment is that Brisbane appears to have got away with a bargain by comparison. 
And it’s still not done
NSW has had bank card tap-and-go since 2018, and Adelaide since 2020.  Victoria won’t have full contactless payment (bank cards/phones) across the whole network until 2028 — an 18-month delay from the already-revised timeline. 
So in short: wrong contractor, built from scratch, uniquely complex tram network, rushed for politics, and they’re still cleaning it up 20 years later.
maybe @notgold@aussie.zone can confirm if accurate
