I know you mrrrkns absolutely hate it when furriners' talk about your politics, but it saddens me to see a fellow democracy in such a state. Both these guys are demented old f&@ks! These are the best candidates your democratic system can give you? Really? I know we Aussies have plenty to cringe about, but jeez!
This wouldn't surprise me at all, if it almost entirely be rental scooters.
Here in Adelaide, they have these rental scooters lining the sidewalks on the nightlife strips - on the weekend!
This seems to me to be almost criminally negligent. What do they think young people are going to do with these things, while drunk? They are going to ride them, while drunk, and they are going to have accidents, of course. Because they're drunk.
I like the rental scooters, as they're a great way of getting round the city when you're in a hurry, but they should shut them down on the weekend evenings, FFS.
Looks like we have a movement then. Only small, so far, but ......
I'm just wondering if we could substitute our current monarchy for the Danish one. Maybe if a Danish naval officer lands at Sydney Cove and plants a flag there? This has a precedent I believe.
Cancel culture exemplified.
There’s literally a standing US order to invade the Hague if a US military member is tried

Actually, that was a postal survey, before a parliamentary vote. Not a binding referendum.
FWIW I'll be voting Yes, but I doubt it will do much good.
Referendums never succeed in this country, unless they have bipartisan support. So what was the point of this exercise? What's Albanese's angle in all of this?
I had no idea that this was going on. I expect that, like me, most people are horrified.
It's interesting, I'll give it that. But considering that police have investigated and found nothing illegal, how is this anyone else's business?
It's an online community that people have been using for decades. The fact that many of us can't use it anymore is a real issue, even if it isn't relevant to you (believe it or not).
In Australia, we've tried that. I have to say, that I personally, am not a fan.
The consequences of forcing politically ignorant or complacent people to vote is that they end up deciding the result of the election, and you just get skilled used car salesmen as your politicians. They know all the buzzwords and three word slogans to keep the politically apathetic tuned in.
