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.
I wonder whether there'll be this much outage when Jillian Assange is sentenced to decades in prison in the US.
There’s literally a standing US order to invade the Hague if a US military member is tried
Can I have source?

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.
Surprised to know they even had an account there in the first place.
Problem is that these Americans talk. A lot.
The grim reaper in Monty Python wasn't just whining. The struggle is real.
For best results, in any online community, it is wise to read the rules before you contribute
Well if you read my post, sometimes it's not just a question of reading the rules - you have to literally study them. Sometimes they are voluminous, and contain caveats.
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.
