- Comment on Labor and Coalition accused of being on fossil fuel ‘unity ticket’ as thermal coal exports hit record high 3 days ago:
Lets assume 51% vote 1 for Liberal … then the Liberal wins regardless …
Yes? That is always the case.
I’m just wondering what voting Green has to do with “endorsing the Liberal Party to Drill Drill Drill, baby”, given unlike the Liberals and Labor the Greens are against all new coal and gas.
- Comment on Labor and Coalition accused of being on fossil fuel ‘unity ticket’ as thermal coal exports hit record high 3 days ago:
If you vote green in one of those districts then you’re endorsing the Liberal Party of Australia to Drill Drill Drill, baby.
That’s not how preferential voting works.

- Comment on Welcome to Country booed by neo-Nazis at Melbourne Dawn Service 1 week ago:
Nah, these were neo-Nazis, they’re not taking their cues from Palmer, they’re taking them from… another guy.
From the ABC article (www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-25/…/105215124):
Police were later seen escorting prominent neo-Nazi Jacob Hersant away from the service.
In November, Hersant was the first Victorian found guilty of performing an illegal Nazi salute in public and was sentenced to one month behind bars.
The ABC understands a group of far-right extremists were present at the Shrine.
This quote cited on his Wikipedia page (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Hersant):
After his conviction in 2024 for performing a Nazi salute in public, he stated to journalists “I’m ready to go to jail, because I’m a Hitler soldier and what I’m doing is right”.[8]
- Comment on Welcome to Country booed by neo-Nazis at Melbourne Dawn Service 1 week ago:
The biggest issue with this is that people that think like this tend to throw accusations like “neo-Nazi” out like lollies, at everyone that they disagree with about on certain things that are in no way “nazi-esque”.
Disliking the “welcome to country” does not make you a neo-Nazi.
The hecklers in this case were straight-up neo-Nazis.

- Comment on [Satire] “A Minority Government Will Be A Disaster” Says Coalition Of Four Parties That Hate Each Other | Betoota Advocate 2 weeks ago:
It’s satirising what the bellends say with a straight face, though. See examples: aussie.zone/post/19606192/16128256
- Comment on [Satire] “A Minority Government Will Be A Disaster” Says Coalition Of Four Parties That Hate Each Other | Betoota Advocate 2 weeks ago:
But, as was already pointed out, this is satirical. However I feel like it’s gearing up for the Coalition’s response if Labor ends up forming government with the Greens, which I feel like is more than just an outside chance.
They’ve been trotting out this line consistently for ages. That’s why it’s being satirised…

“A Labor-Greens minority government would be a disaster for this country,” Mr Dutton said.*
12 April 2025
“… So a Labor/Greens/Teal government is a disaster for WA. It’s a disaster for the economy. …”
- Dutton
6 August 2024
In the course of his answer, Mr Dutton said: “The prime minister, if he’s in a minority government in the next term of parliament, it will include the Greens, it’ll include Green-Teals, it’ll include Muslim candidates from Western Sydney. It will be a disaster.”

- Comment on Australian with working visa detained and deported on returning to US from sister’s memorial 3 weeks ago:
Where did their 2 phones and drug selling claims come from?
I don’t think it’s unfair to assume they’re just making shit up. Either for fishing/intimidation, or just trying to meet some kind of quota for deportations. They’re just deporting people arbitrarily.
As another example, ICE is rounding up Venezuelan men with tattoos and sending them to prison in El Salvador, because tattoos must mean you have a gang affiliation:

Did he have clearance/permission to have the ashes in his bag?
According to the article he didn’t have ashes, be just had the empty urn, as he’d scattered the ashes in Australia.

- Comment on Poorest urban fringe electorates gained most from Labor’s first-term tax and welfare reform, Australian University research shows 3 weeks ago:
At the other end of the spectrum, the wealthiest households on average will be nearly $800 worse off, the modelling shows, as the rejigged stage-three tax cuts leave them worse off than they would have been without the change.
I think it should be stressed: they still got a tax cut, though, just not as big as the original cuts.
- Comment on Go Private? 3 weeks ago:
As others have mentioned, there’d seem to be hard downsides:
- Can’t send direct links to people without an account
- Harder for people to ‘discover’ the instance or check it out, which would surely reduce people signing up to the instance and participating in our community
So I’d be against it unless there’s really strong reasons for it. I haven’t really experienced bad server-load issues.
There’s conceivably a middle-ground where the instance becomes logged-in-only automatically under high load. That’d no doubt be a considerable extra work, but just throwing it out there as an idea. I still don’t think even that’s necessarily a great idea, because again, if the traffic is people showing interest in the instance, that’s a good thing in the long term. It’d be better than setting it to logged-in-only permanently.
I think this should be pretty much a last resort for any performance issues, and any other measure should be considered first, including spending more money.
