i agree. i would LOVE to hear what the people advocating for legislation only as their argument for a NO vote would say, because I have a little feeling they actually dont want that, they just want NO because they are either misinformed, rascist or voting purely along party lines, which is bizarre for a referendum

earlier this week our workplace did an RUOK morning tea thing but also tried to wedge in the topic of returning to the office as an idea if you are not ok. Fuck off, the fact you force me to waste several days a week commuting and living off less sleep is one of the big reasons why im NOT ok. Incredibly tone deaf

i wish real news stories ran with headlines like this

This constitutional change is too much. We don’t want a body we didn’t elect having a voice to parliament.

if albo goes ahead and legislates it anyway after a failed vote, you reckon they will still think that?

Id love to float a hypothetical here.

Say the referendum fails. One of the big ‘No’ arguments, if you can call it that, is “wHY nEeD rEFeReNDuMB jUSt LegISLatE”

What if albo just legislates the body in.

Reckon they will be consistent and say 'see thats all you need!", or will heads melt.

Because we know, it has nothing to do with that at all

that looks quite fun!

completely agree with all of this

they might come back from a holiday in 3 weeks to find a crater where they left their car!

when they become pests we at least have another data point to point to where Simpson’s Did It rings true again

agree 100%. I walk my kids home and the amount of kids especially younger ones that just fly off onto the road without looking is scary

6 cameras, so about 15 per camera per day on average. id assume after a few months the numbers would drop as people become more aware of them

to save anyone a click, yeah most no votes are the oldies, if anyone is surprised

funnily my investments in airlines (not qantas) post covid was probably the only smart risky investment i made

or even had spent more than 5 seconds reading about life in Australia in the 1940’s

We are going through a relatively large period of force upgrades compared to the last few decades though, but to suggest its a war buildup is pure hyperbole

Ah yes Scott Morrison, the greatest PM for international relations we ever had, lets listen to his advice

edit: also the guy who spent more time overseas on holidays, especially during national crisis’, than doing any of his 6 jobs

youll still get the refund through paypal. add theyre review threat to the dispute, instant win for you

the only disaster it caused

you can be pro nuclear and also acknowledge reality at the same time

massively overvalued on the share market still. will take a lot of work and time to stabilise the company

morning sydney, looks like another nice one. graduated to being parent of a teen today

so its waste of money to hold this first referendum, but a second one wouldnt be.

running out of ‘no’ arguments that dont involve utter hypocracy at this point (actually ‘cost’ might have been the last one)
