  Look, I don’t want to disagree with your point… But I can’t stand by as you suggest that we evolved from cave men… We may have created civilisations, but we’ve not evolved into a civilized creature… We’re still as uncooked as were 60k years ago.

  Care to explain your point with some detail?

  If this fails, I doubt we’ll see a second proposal. So I think it would be fair to measure any arguments you make as why no action is better than the proposal.

  Correct me if I am wrong, but this petition doesn’t decide the wording of any law just ensures it is brought to attention of EU lawmakers and discussed right?

  I see war memorials as a reminder of what we’re trying to avoid, not as a glorification.

  I might be reading to much in to the previous commenters use of the word had. But you’re at arguments make a lot more sense today than 30 years ago.

  It certainly was fear that stopped Australia from building a nuclear industry in the 90s. It made a lot of sense then. Today, it’s hard to see it anything more as a diversionary tactic.

  Nah good on you, fight the good fight. It wasn’t series of mistakes it was deliberate policy choices. Policy choices that show no sign of being changed. Capitalism has eaten democracy from the inside out, it will continue dancing around inside is skin till we see it for what it is.

  I use launtel, I pay a premium i think, but I don’t know because I’ve go no desire to change.

  Well I didn’t see either a TV add for either side. I did heard a lot more ‘Don’t know vote No’ than anything else. I’m not sure anecdote is particularly helpful though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scratch the surface of the Voice results, and a more complicated picture emerges — ABC News⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably hard to determine but I’d love to see proportion of no voters vs Murdoch news viewership. I feel like every other correlation could probably be tied to that variable.

  That’s not the definition of racism.

  Giving people in a wheelchair a ramp onto the train is not ableism.

  Giving children a booster seat in a car is not ageism.

  Bigtory is about discriminating against people based on an attribute. So you’d need to argue that the rest of Australia is having their government representation taken away by the voice.

  The entire point of the voice is try and treat people equally by addressing the intergenerational issues caused by systemic racism.

  The academic system is a tiered system. Publish or perish is a term that mostly applies to early to mid career researchers, who are pracitcally all employed on fixed term contracts.You don’t lose your job if you don’t publish, you just can’t get (or are less competitive for) your next job.

  Tenured academics (professors/A. Prof.) are on ongoing employment by the university. Their job is never really under threat. Although if they wanted to move jobs and be successful in grants then they want a productive group (many publications) to prove they are leading cutting edge research.

  Universities care directly around how much grant funding their professors can pull into the university. However, in many countries it’s difficult to remove long serving academics. It’s not uncommon for ‘retired’ proffs to die at their desk, even though they checked out decade’s ago.

  No one two jango was maybe the biggest miss, otherwise pretty good… especially given the absurdity of making one piece live action.

  I really liked luffys accent… fit the character for me. Sanjis too.

  Nothing to do with cost, overlord Mudcock didn’t want foxtel to lose customers to internet streaming.
