"Oh, but isn't that unsafe?"

Surely people need to understand that it's more unsafe to let this sort of shit fester.

Wow what a shock. Guess running a uni like a for profit business works like shit. Maybe the real problem not cited in this article is that the upper management are all worthless.

I think the idea is that it stops rich AF people using their super to store wealth by sitting on assets and instead forces them to use super to invest, which can actually help the economy.

Why would he want to be informed? Then he has to lie rather than just make shit up.

Just something Charlie kirk made up.

When your face is that small, everything else looks much bigger.

The legislation does note that some services are “excluded”, but does not name specific platforms. For example, while services providing “online social interaction” would be included in the ban, this would not include “online business interaction”.

Looking forward to watching Facebook claim it's all a business interaction because they're selling the user data or something. Also surely this includes any and all online forums.

Yeah but how are the cops supposed to access our data without a warrant or any form of notice?

I'm still not sure I get Lidia's arguments tbh. I agree with her on treaty and I honestly don't know why (other than being a pack of racists) we haven't implemented the recommendation of the royal commission into indigenous deaths in custody, I'm just not sure that voting the voice down is a good move or would even help get those things done. It could make Australia wake up to its past by giving it a shock, but just (maybe more) likely the referendum failing will empower racists.

Literally every one of my indigenous friends and colleagues that I've spoken to are voting no,

Did you forget what you wrote?

2 points:

  1. Anyone can say they have indigenous friends or have spoken to indigenous people. In fact Peter Dutton has been doing that this whole time. This is a largely anonymous forum so there's no reason to believe anyone who says "ah yeah I spoke to a guy."
  2. We have polling on indigenous peoples opinions on the voice. The people we surround ourselves with or we encounter in our daily lives are an insignificant sample size and subject to selection bias.
