I think i’m gona start using ‘scum goblin’.

You guys turn up to vote in Local Gov elections? I think most of ours are postal. I wonder if that means NSW turnout is better?

Thanks for tldr. I really didn’t want to read that.

Democracy dies in the dark; Redactions cast long shadows.

The interviewer seemed to have a line she was trying to follow, and Max Chandler-Mather wasn’t having a bar of it.

Max Chandler-Mather’s CFMEU rally antics have given Labor a political weapon to wield against the Greens By David Speers

This article from David Spears, i think, explains Ferguson’s line of questioning. Basically the ABC have drawn an optics comparison between that and Tony Abbott’s ditch the witch protest speech. And yeah there is similarity.

In both cases though, was it worth the media being distracted over the signs and forgetting the issues at hand?

“The government is not for turning and nor is the Australian public — they want to see this industry cleaned up,” he said. (Aparently Albanese said this)

Do we have a Labor government or Thatcher?? Not sure whether putting the Construction part of the CFMEU into administration or not is the right decision. But aligning yourself with historic union busting figures? Albanese is insane to think this is good politics.

Good to here Max Chandler Mather out there again showing some solidarity.

I had to recheck what month it was when i saw this headline. This sounded like it had April fools written all over it.

Haha nice!

I’s over at !avatar@lemmy.world the other day, love your work!

I noticed the same fact and wondered about posting myself, but i had a quick and i know super basic question, where do you find those panelled cartoons?

Its shaping up to be a pretty bad day for Australian swimming based on the ABC article on the Olympic team coaches comments.

We need our government to step in and create a situation where we don’t need environmental vandals to prop up our sports.

Not sure i’m fully there with you on that one. Government seems to fund sports in general quite a lot, lots of other costs i’d rather them use any extra money on.

I think this is more a case of special interest associations like this need to think about the designs of their funding models if they want to avoid low levels of duress like this

knee deep snow

Um, snow here? Where was this centrelink? Up top of Mount Clifford?

Instead of snow, are you sure it wasn’t asbestos? Theres lots of that in certain places around here.

Well thats a good point. They must feel an extra pressure in general to live up to the reputation the public has come to expect.

Man thats such an uncomfortable scene to look at. Thank you for sharing… I guess… :)

A few British immigrants might as well.

Huh, i thought they’d be visting all over the country since its their first visit in this capacity.

It’ll be interesting to see turnout, i reckon there’ll be big crowds, peoples attitudes seem to have changed on them since they became the monarchs.

Its been a long time coming. The sentiment of the rest of Australia has only grown in this direction as the terrible animal treatment in other countries and the arguments for deepening of our own economic value adding processes have strengthened.

Farmers had over a decade since the last serious push for them to set up a different business model themselves and they haven’t as an industry done it.

Its time government stepped in to provide the new direction for the industry and finally take heed of the wider Australian moral sentiment about the treatment of our animals in these circumstances.

I didn’t read it that way. Sounds like for whatever reason the RMIT partnership is ending but ABC is going to carry on with it on their own.

This is probably a bad development. RMIT gave the work an extra sense of rigour and independence. It meant liberals and nationals, and conservatives in general couldn’t dismiss their work as just more ABC lefty commie wokeratti greenie stuff, as so many of those people reflexively do now.

The ABC should immediately start looking for a new partner of similar calibre in this ongoing endeavour.

Been a bit partial to vanilla icecream with one of those mini nonnas apple pies lately. If i’m feeling adventurous, a bit a custard to.

Whats the link?

I’ve thought a fun promotional tag would be,

Aussie_zone, the socials alternative

Possibly recognisable from a certain media outlet ;)

Its probably better to focus on aussie_zone and any future sister servers rather than lemmy or fediverse as a whole.

Its a broad church out there. Last night i’s reading about the Maven AI controversy. People here on Aussie_zone might be cool with promotion, (also might not be), but others on Lemmy might not be, its not practical to check with everyone on every Lemmy server, and it’d not be nice to garner a perception of speaking for them.
