Oh and Centrelink themselves via #robodebt.

Only Harvey Norman is excused from mooching because… reasons.

Unfortunately it is hard to prove things like CFS (regardless of vaccines). If we believe all claims then some will rort the system. I have no opinion on how to deal with it.
- Comment on Is there any privacy-friendly way to use Facebook on iOS? 2 months ago:
Or just use Safari. I use a browser for FB for years on my Android phone. Only problem is that when I try to chat it tries to install messenger unless I am in desktop mode.
On a Windows laptop it is easy to use with a browser, even chatting.
- Comment on A person's home may be their castle but if they leave it vacant can they really complain if it gets taken away? 5 months ago:
I am living in a small room in Sydney caring for my bed-ridden demented Mum and rarely spend time in my house 100km away. Please don’t punish me for it.
- Comment on A person's home may be their castle but if they leave it vacant can they really complain if it gets taken away? 5 months ago:
I can’t really think of any other valid reasons.
My place is vacant 100km away while I look after my bed-ridden demented Mum.
- Comment on Anthony Albanese has praised a lone police officer who pursued a man on a stabbing spree through a shopping mall, saying ‘there is no doubt that she saved lives through her action’ 8 months ago:
Thanks for looking it up and summarising.
- Comment on Anthony Albanese has praised a lone police officer who pursued a man on a stabbing spree through a shopping mall, saying ‘there is no doubt that she saved lives through her action’ 8 months ago:
He had a machete? I suppose that can be thrown so I accept your point if true.
How accurately does a taser need to be pointed? Can it be easily held in the officer’s weak hand while the gun is held in the dominant hand?
- Comment on Anthony Albanese has praised a lone police officer who pursued a man on a stabbing spree through a shopping mall, saying ‘there is no doubt that she saved lives through her action’ 8 months ago:
A pity she wasn’t carrying a taser. Why are guns standard issue but not tasers?
- Comment on Bruce Lehrmann raped Brittany Higgins in Parliament House, judge finds on balance of probabilities 8 months ago:
The line from the judge “Having escaped the lion’s den, Mr Lehrmann made the mistake of going back for his hat"
is not original but had many colorful turns of phrase which you can read here.

FWIW The videos were edited, not pulled.
The cops lost their contempt of court prosecution.

I know double Walkley award winner Anne Connolly from Four Corners is gutless.

While I also don’t like his schoolboy humour (being much older, and not his intended demographic) you are very wrong about him being low effort in his research. On the contrary, that is why him and his provider were physically attacked and not the “serious” journalists.
Content aside his stand up skills are surprisingly good. Perfect timing and clever audience work.

I imagine Italian coffee is good though.

Did the author choose airport coffee shops in the most expensive cities?
- Comment on Think $5.50 is too much for a flat white? Actually it’s too cheap, and our world-famous cafes are paying the price 9 months ago:
It is my own direct evidence, not someone else’s anecdote.
- Comment on Think $5.50 is too much for a flat white? Actually it’s too cheap, and our world-famous cafes are paying the price 9 months ago:
I don’t trust the article.
I recall having coffee and croissant in A Salzburg historic courtyard cafe for half the price of one in a shitty Aussie suburban location.

Jacqui Lambie and Glenn Lazarus were ex Palmer United Party and both were sincere.

We need a TL;DR of your TL;DR.

- Comment on Doing 1,000 hours of unpaid work to graduate is the reality of 'placement poverty' — and it's taking a toll on students 10 months ago:
Germany used to get youngsters (whether students or not) to spend time in either military or community service (often overseas). I think in both cases living expenses were covered .
- Comment on Video analysis finds no evidence 'gas the Jews' chant used at Opera House rally, police say 11 months ago:
Yes. Although “From the River to the Sea” I would argue is anti-Semitic and they sure are using that, in fact the Left wing have also taken this on.
The same day of the Oct 7 Massacre I went to a music gig at a venue in Camperdown where the host expressed solidarity with Palestine but didn’t utter a word of sorrow or regret for the slaughter by Hamas.
- Comment on Video analysis finds no evidence 'gas the Jews' chant used at Opera House rally, police say 11 months ago:
Indeed you can see/hear for yourself that the video did switch video scenes while maintaining audio continuity.
If they were different angles of the same incident then it is legitimate documentary style editing but I certainly would not have done it that way if I was AJA and after reading your comment I acknowledge that they deserve criticism for it.
I didn’t realize there was a Crikey article today by Lattouf. And surprised that she took on the criticism thrown her way on Twitter yesterday.
In fact I cancelled my Crikey account because of it but am impressed with this new article and may resubscribe.
- Comment on Video analysis finds no evidence 'gas the Jews' chant used at Opera House rally, police say 11 months ago:
While it is commendable that the organisers toned down subsequent rallies, I don’t recall even a few bad apples amongst the Sydney Jewish community ever publicly celebrating the slaughter of Palestinians.
- Comment on Video analysis finds no evidence 'gas the Jews' chant used at Opera House rally, police say 11 months ago:
Indeed the captioning wasn’t floating like a hologram in real life. That is understood.
By not mentioning the captioning in the article it gives the wrong impression that the video was doctored. Indeed that is what Antoinette Lattouf is implying this week.
- Comment on Video analysis finds no evidence 'gas the Jews' chant used at Opera House rally, police say 11 months ago:
Steady on. No need to get dramatic and accusing me of stuff.
If nobody said anything racist then that would be further from the truth.
The guy misspoke saying nothing could be further from the truth.
- Comment on Video analysis finds no evidence 'gas the Jews' chant used at Opera House rally, police say 11 months ago:
“There has been a smear campaign against Palestinians… by smearing us as anti-Semites or as people who are celebrating terror and that could not be further from the truth.”
And yet the same guy says:
“I did, at the time, point out there were anti-Semitic phrases that I heard”
I don’t think he understands the phrase “that could not be further from the truth.”
- Comment on Video analysis finds no evidence 'gas the Jews' chant used at Opera House rally, police say 11 months ago:
Barrister Mahmud Hawila, who has previously represented the protest organisers, said police told them they had doubts about the video’s veracity within days of the protest.
Misleading reporting. The police statement this week specifically says it wasn’t doctored.
