- Comment on Additional 800 children to be tested for STIs as police investigate accused Melbourne childcare paedophile 1 day ago:
Did this guy even have an sti? Wouldn’t it be easier to test him first?
- Comment on Pensioner robbed of $1,338 is taking NAB to court for millions 2 days ago:
These people are willing participants in getting scammed (providing MFA codes etc), then they blame the bank. How about some personal responsibility Ian?
- Comment on Six men on the run after beating cyclist with baseball bats 2 days ago:
They’re a menace. Get them off our roads. Bloody utes.
- Comment on Misogyny is thriving in our schools. Why aren’t we doing more? 2 days ago:
I’m not doing more because I’m not in schools and I don’t interact with kids. This is a problem I have very little influence on.
- Comment on Misogyny is thriving in our schools. Why aren’t we doing more? 2 days ago:
If you don’t know how things are in Australia, why are you entering the discussion?
- Comment on Why are hotels in Australia so inexpensive compared to hotels in the USA and Canada? 1 week ago:
Yeah I was paying 300-400 usd for a hotel in San Francisco a couple of years ago! Crazy!
- Comment on Kanye West was denied entry to Australia after releasing antisemitic song 2 weeks ago:
Not true, Kanye’s back catalogue is amazing. Anything before Yeezus was gold. It’s been hit and miss since then.
- Comment on Kanye West was denied entry to Australia after releasing antisemitic song 2 weeks ago:
Completely separate from the anti-Semitism, the song itself is pretty awful. How can someone with so many bangers fall so far.
- Comment on Inquiry finds British committed genocide on Indigenous Australians 2 weeks ago:
As a long time greens voters, the greens do not have policies, they have ideas. As they know they’re not going to win, they don’t formulate any of their ideas and talking points as policies.
- Comment on I worked at an escort agency. This is how it changed my attitude to sex 2 weeks ago:
Only very backwards countries.
- Comment on Minimum wage, parental leave and road fines: what’s changing on 1 July 3 weeks ago:
Super changes!
- Comment on Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps 3 weeks ago:
Not all Australians. Just those using iPhones.
- Comment on Only four of 20 popular sunscreens pass Choice's SPF testing 4 weeks ago:
It rubs in and becomes invisible.
- Comment on Only four of 20 popular sunscreens pass Choice's SPF testing 5 weeks ago:
They say the best sunscreen is the cheapest one, because people aren’t stingy when they apply it. Apply a thick layer, it helps.
- Comment on Wealthy Australians are worried we might realise how rigged the system is in their favour 5 weeks ago:
It’s tricky how we value things. That is the key determinate of wealth. In any given year, maybe 1 in 30 dwellings get sold. Yet we assume all other dwellings are priced the same as those.
- Comment on Australia’s bowel cancer rates are world’s highest for under-50s. Scientists wonder if the gut microbiome is to blame 1 month ago:
Sounds like a pain in the ass
- Comment on my kid is movin to AU 1 month ago:
Drop-bears are probably the biggest risk he’ll have to deal with. Tell him to be careful walking under any tree as you never know when they’ll attack.
- Comment on The super tax debate is divorced from reality – and more proof that Australia’s tax system is built for the rich 1 month ago:
“Queensland LNG projects delivered $310.1bn total income for gas companies but they paid just $966m in company tax – or just 0.3% of total income (and all of that was paid by just one company).” You can’t compare revenue to tax paid. Tax is paid on profits, not revenue. For many businesses COGS is a very large percent of revenue.
- Comment on Opinion: Labor’s tweak to superannuation affects only the wealthiest Australians. To argue against it is misguided 1 month ago:
It also smells a bit that politicians are exempt.
- Comment on Opinion: Labor’s tweak to superannuation affects only the wealthiest Australians. To argue against it is misguided 1 month ago:
They should index it to inflation. Otherwise it is an underhanded way to start taxing most people in the future.
- Comment on Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier 2 months ago:
We need to get these death traps off our roads! If anything else was killing people at these levels, they would be stopped. Somehow cars are exempt.
- Comment on Australians are obsessed with SUVs and huge utes, but experts say they are making our roads deadlier 2 months ago:
You’re conflating vehicle form factor with age and features.
- Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton 2 months ago:
Do you have any links to an Australian government storing excess energy in hydro during the day? I don’t think that’s something available in any part of Australia currently.
- Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton 2 months ago:
New solar, by itself, is not very valuable because the grid has a surplus of power when the sun is shining. The feed in tariff is near zero. It can offset some of your own usage but most people are out in the middle of the day.

If I want cheap rent, the solution is to buy?? Ok boomer
- Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton 3 months ago:
Why do you assume renters want to stop renting? Mostly renters just want better renting conditions. I support many changes to rental laws. But I don’t think skipping all the low hanging fruit and enforcing solar and batteries is realistic.
Insulation should be a must. Repairs should be done in a timely fashion.
- Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton 3 months ago:
No way in hell they would ever make it mandatory for rentals. They’ve barely made smoke detectors mandatory for rentals. Removing negative gearing won’t help. It will make rentals more expensive.

Fuck all these policies and incentives that exclude renters
- Comment on Choking during sex: many young people mistakenly believe it can be done safely, our study shows 3 months ago:
They used to warn us about the dangers of choking the chicken.
- Comment on ‘People spontaneously strip off and join us’: nude cyclists send message you don’t need to be buff 4 months ago:
Good on them. I’ve done this a couple of times. They spend a lot of time stopping to pose for group photos, which isn’t really my thing.
But it’s raising awareness for a good cause
