Dr. Evil didn’t spend 6 years in evil fricking medical school to be put in no professional training
- Comment on South Australia’s upper house narrowly rejects ‘Trumpian’ bill to wind back abortion care 4 weeks ago:
I’m a Queenslander and I think the LNP will win, cannot decide on the margin. I’m interested to see if the Greens take some inner Brisbane seats off of Labor, to reflect the last federal election. I live in an area that is largely pro-liberal (Gold Coast) so I doubt my electorate will swing in this election, but it will be interesting.
Labor are running attack ads about abortion and Crisafulli failed to say what his stance was on abortion in the latest debate. He also doesn’t want to comment on Nuclear.
- Comment on South Australia’s upper house narrowly rejects ‘Trumpian’ bill to wind back abortion care 4 weeks ago:
It’s not Queenslanders, it’s decades of education to trust the media. Critical thinking is taught at school (only in History electives though) but seldom applied to politics. Abortion isn’t the only thing we might lose to “youth crime”, we’ll lose democracy and clean energy
- Comment on Australia's youth crime rates have plummeted despite what politicians would have you believe 4 weeks ago:
The only thing which has increased is media coverage of youth crime

- Comment on Facebook has scraped public data from Australian users without an opt out. What can we do? 2 months ago:
I wish it were as simple as deleting my accounts with meta, Google and Microsoft. University requires I have MS, Android effectively requires I have Google and if get rid of Facebook I’ll lose access to marketplace, my local community and people will probably just not talk me

100%. I’m not a child but I’ve learned so much about people through lemmy, getting to be a part of society without sharing any personal information

I guess we’ll find out their perspective next week :)
- Comment on Australia's internet watchdog says she received "death threats" and that her children were doxxed after she was targeted by Elon Musk for attempting to regulate Xitter 2 months ago:
Such regulation would significantly harm small sites which get dragged into this making fediverse instances in Australia untenable, meaning only the large platforms have the resources to comply. The internet is dangerous, yes. But the internet is also good. The internet provides information, and in a democracy nothing should be done to limit the flow of information.

- Comment on The RBA says don’t expect interest rate cuts for 6 months. Here’s why it could be sooner. 3 months ago:
The RBA keeps hinting that the Government should do something and the government continues to blame it on RBA. Maybe the RBA should just spell it out for them

Wait, people aren’t thinking about what they could be buying instead?
- Comment on Young Australians falling down a 'rabbit hole of hate', ASIO boss warns 3 months ago:
There seems to be very little effort on the part of at least one major party to address social cohesion issues while the other major party is being torn apart over it. Angry people vote based on culture wars, angry people don’t look at policy or ideology

- Comment on Join fediverser.network, make it easy to bring Australian redditors to the Fediverse? 3 months ago:
This has probably been asked before but is there any reason why this couldn’t be implemented as a basic lemmy client (with signup facilities only)? Meaning instances don’t need to host anything or are you concerned that centralisation might drive up Reddit API costs or will the OAuth stuff require a server?
Thanks for trying to make the fediverse more accessible!

- Comment on Are we going down the same path as US politics? 3 months ago:
Riiiiiight I thought you meant in terms of politics and my response about the Greens was being sarcastic. Though the Greens and LNP get dragged into culture wars alot easier than Labor
- Comment on Are we going down the same path as US politics? 3 months ago:
But uhh…I’m not really sure how this is relevant to this thread.
Idk I was interpreting their comment as saying that Labor aren’t very popular which is true at least in terms of first preferences

Yeah I don’t think people will want to skip the Olympics—I’ll probably just watch highlights and the Equestrian Eventing (No Andrew Hoy this year unfortunately), it will all be on at a really early time anyway
