It's "attempted conspiracy to commit treason" at this stage, which is pathetic and embarrassing but still evil. And as Norah said they may learn who Ley is after this, though that's predicated on Trump being able to read.

Ballsy, especially after Republican threats. Here's hoping their idea of retaliation is cancelling AUKUS.

Per the article, without a "no religion" option people will pick the religion of their parents even if they're now atheist. This inflates the christian numbers.

It's pretty damaging to your reputation to sue a rape victim for defamation. Or at least it should be.

Putting lives before an elections means you lose both, if he even has sacrificed lives by being cautious.

Cutting arms shipments to Israel would be merely symbolic and would get Albanese immediately couped like Whitlam and Rudd (if he would even be able to do it in the first place), the HAAF was meant to solve homelessness rather than housing stress and it was delayed by a few years by the Greens, and climate change requires policy maintained over multiple elections cycles to address on a domestic level.

All the things people are saying he needs to be bold and aggressive on, Labor has done so in the past and it's lost them election.

The fact is we're all too immersed in the American social media ecosystem and so we expect bold action to solve American problems that would only be vote-winners in a non-compulsory voting system where elections are fought on turnout (usually as a centrist vs. nutjobs race). Albanese knows the Australian political system well, that being that nobody really cares about politics here and if Labor wants to win they need to stay out of the press because it's run by private school kids who hate him (at best).

It is. EV's are just slightly less bad cars. They still cause potholes, traffic, high housing costs, noise, and pedestrian deaths.

I read that title as "facial transplant".

I will be taking no further questions.

Bicycle licensing systems are horrible. They discourage riding and push people to unhealthy and dangerous forms of transport like cars and they give kids bad interactions with police (or in America, gets them sent to El Salvador).

That said, e-bike licensing for under-18's makes a lot of sense. If it applied to all bikes, or to all ages then I'd take issue with it. But under-18's on e-bikes should probably be licensed.

I do take issue with it being a digital-only license. Kids should not have smartphones in the first place, and just imagine losing access to your driver's license because you forgot to charge your phone (or your mobile data plan lapsed).

Even Trump's allies don't know what's going on ... does he even have allies? I think it's just El Salvador, Israel, Hungary, and Vietnam. Israel is the only one who they seem to tell anything.

Last I checked they were ghoulishly waiting at the prison in the hopes of watching her be sent in.

The media is garbage. We did not need this many updates on the case, and they did not need to rub it in so much (I think she obviously did it, but on the off chance she didn't they're basically bullying her at this point).

This seems like a really stupid solution and I have no idea what the government's thinking.
