- Comment on The rhetoric ramping up over ISIS brides has nothing to do with the women and children themselves 1 day ago:
Australians en-masse might not like this group of Australians, but we nonetheless have a responsibility to them, and we are failing in that responsibility.
There is nothing patriotic or nationalistic about abandoning your countrymen especially when they’re in a fucked and disagreeable situation.
You wanna play favourites with groups of citizens? Guess what, you don’t support your Nation, you’re an ideological toad.
Always remember people who support abandoning any Australians are the lowest of the low. Its an embarrassment that so much of the political gravity in this country is pressed into this ideological and racist cul-de-sac.
Fuck the hipocrisy on full view by all these people in positions of influence refusing to help and actively working against Australians being able to live again in their homes. They’re about as loyal to Aus as an egg on a teflon pan. Get these people home, deal with them here.

This is so embarrassing for all the Australian oligarchs. In their own backyard. Gina must be fuming! I can only imagine what Lowy must be thinking with his basket on a chopstick in the sky. I suppose its a stranded basket now.

- Comment on Australian PM says former prince Andrew has suffered ‘extraordinary fall’ but that won’t prompt another republic referendum 5 days ago:
I don’t think its different as you suggest. Its the individual who has sparked the question, in this case ‘ol’under age andy’, but they are actually both relationships between government accepted legal instruments.
The Aus-British one is, a Constitution to a Crown and (at least) Parliamentary Legislation of not another Constitution (likely implied i think🤔 The british have a funny informal constitution).
Or the Aus-US, is an alliance pact between countries ratified in their respective countries by congress+POTUS and Parliament+GG
The monarchy is more than a ‘set of people’. These people are pampered and wealthy custodians and advisors in the British+Commonwealth context. But the Crown acts as a default of power and ownership that means no one person can ever truly make unilateral claim/title to things. Its a bit of convenient legal fiction that acts very well to represent competing interests and the passing interests of time, unless I’ve misunderstood how the Crown acts.
Look I don’t mind either way he would like it interpreted is fine though. The consequences are of course the important part.
Removing the monarchy from Australia is just as consequential as removing ANZUS, probably larger. This is why I used the comparison. If its going to be suggested that we’re going to do it over morality and values of an individual then we’d better apply those principles there-abouts equally in our dealings or they’ll soon lose meaning.

Kind of annoys me that they didn’t talk about the size and type of cars on the road changing, while at the same time the writer indicates vehicles have only become better and safer with this sentence,
But despite advances in vehicle technology and enforcement, Australia’s road toll is climbing again.
- Comment on Australian PM says former prince Andrew has suffered ‘extraordinary fall’ but that won’t prompt another republic referendum 5 days ago:
“It should spark a national conversation about the standards we will accept, how we want to see ourselves, be seen in the world, and particularly what we want our next generation of Aussies, in all of our beautiful diversity, to understand as our value set,” he said.
“No Australian could possibly support what we have seen.”
Okay Foster, talkin ya book a little too hard here mate. If this is the stance we should take with the British then we’d better tear up the ANZUS treaty as well, because the US is up to its sweaty sweaty armpits with Epstein.
I don’t know what Foster would say to that, but i doubt he has thought through equal application of his call for ‘national morality’ as he has jump at the opportunity to call for a Republic.
- Comment on Can Australia build one of the world’s largest data centres? 6 days ago:
Interesting to compare this quote,
But generating this silly AI video requires a lot of energy – roughly 940 watt hours – which is akin to running a microwave for over an hour.
To this quote from an Our World in Data post on c/overseasnews,
So we can use about the same electricity to run an AC unit for an hour as it takes to make an AI generated cat video. Both actions use more electricity than the average person gets in a day in at least 45 countries.

Yeah, keeps doing that for me. The article is within the first ten on that page once you cancel the email request for me. So its quite easy to find without going to archive. I’d favour giving deepcut the click through if possible.
Also, i checked and its not up on archive.md and i’m not sure the legals around archiving it myself. Sorry mate, i’ll have to read up a bit more about that side of archives before being comfortable doing it.
- Comment on Communities for each state and territory 1 week ago:
Pretty much agree with other people’s comments here.
For my State community, this has been accounted for in the name of the Perth/Western Australia community. To make it clear the community is for the city and the State.
Maybe its different in a city like Perth, but too many people are invested in both the country and the city for it to make sense that they have different communities for what is essentially different parts of their life.
It also has the added benefit of attempting to narrow the country-metro divide that news organisations promote through their different programming decisions. They’re limited by broadcast space in a day, a community on Aussie.zone is limited by the server capacity Lodion has organised, in other words we could afford a lot of varied posts different demographics would find interesting under the one banner.

Lots of protests i don’t agree with that I’m glad weren’t effective. Doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have been allowed. Don’t know where you’re from, but in Australia we try to respect the fact all people are different and accomodate that fact. Emphasis on the try.

Yeah, na. You’re not taking the time to understand the heirarchy in place exactly to mitigate the confusion about what really constitutes a country of origin.
So below is the country of origin standards from competition and consumer law act 2010 (cth)
On page 8-9 of the Australian Made, Australian Grown (amag) code of practice you’ll see they basically refer to the definitions of country of origin set out in the table in section 255 of the Act (screenshot above). Along with some examples of what is not considered ‘substantial transformation’.
…com.au/…/amag-code-of-practice-july-2011.pdf
The Australian Made, Australian Grown campaign is and always will be linked to the Federal Government, meaning any owners (Currently a non-profit run by the Australian Chamber of Commerce network) have to meet certain requirements including upholding the campaigns authoritive acceptance.
…com.au/…/history-of-australian-made/
I think a lot of Australians haven’t taken the time to understand how country of origin works in Australian consumer law. Basically ‘made in’ is a lower standard to meet, than ‘product of’ or ‘grown in’. With the lower expectations of ‘made in’ set right in people’s minds I think a lot of confusion could be avoided.
Maybe easier/graphical explanations of this aspect could form part of your buy Oceanian project?

Sydney Town Hall was a poor choice or a good choice then? To you.
Look, we’re in protest positioning and tactics here. Its essential for the scope of ways to protest be necessarily broad, to allow for the creativity that often accompanies effective protests. You seem to be arguing for a quite narrow definition of allowable/effective protest, and we’re just going to have to agree to disagree.
Just stop oil with the paint in the museums et al; Rosa Parks on the bus; Japanese Bus drivers refusing money; Palestine Action Group over the harbour bridge. They’re all acceptable and creative forms of protest to me. Whether they’re effective isn’t the point, the point is we have a society built to accept and accomodate the fact that humanity isn’t a monolith.

Yeah, i made light of it. But you’re right to bring it back to the reason this is all so beyond acceptable for Australia.

… in the corner; out the way; down the street; where it can’t be heard… etc it doesn’t matter the caveat.
The suggestion that other people shouldn’t have to deal with protestors on the road, because “they’re in the way”. Well shit, the AFL is in my way! And they’re playing for a good half a year or more as well. Point is, certain things people do, especially on our roads, are gonna annoy others.
- Comment on It appears you no longer have the right to protest | First Dog on the Moon 2 weeks ago:
Uh oh… rumbled. ;)
Of course i’m not. I am satirising. Because your suggestion, and the implications of which, are ridiculous from the outset. The only sane response is to satirise the idea in the vain hope that through the equivalences drawn the ideas own ridiculousness is laid bare. In a bit of a ‘the emperor has no clothes’ kind of moment.
Have a good day mate. Lets protect freedom together in our own ways.
- Comment on It appears you no longer have the right to protest | First Dog on the Moon 2 weeks ago:
After reflection i suppose you’re right. The outcomes are different, one car in my way on the freeway is there to protest, the other car in my way on the freeway is there to AFL. Very different outcomes there… *
^*Maybe we should ban all cars but mine? Am I crazy, or would that solve my problem?^
I suppose totally different messages being sent though: one is, ‘i care about this thing and you’re also gona have to for a bit’; the other is, ‘i care about this thing and you’re gona need wait’. Theres a nuance there.
Sadly there is one unavoidable outcome :) MUZZA DOESN’T MAKE HIS COURT APPEARANCE!! The judge. is. ropeable…

- Comment on Australia in danger of becoming an ‘artless country’ as enrolments in creative courses collapse 2 weeks ago:
Non-market based solutions. If the economic market doesn’t value creative industries its unfortunate, but the creativity will and should carry on.
Of course, ot does mean, there is a lack of incentives to coordinate resources. But this can be overcome with community groups and formal and informal partnerships.
It won’t replace ‘like-for-like’ the creative outputs that can be achieved through an economic incentive structure. But the creative outputs can be just as engaging.

Its the one thing i think the Albanese gov really wasted money on, that rebate. There are so many other important needs all those funds could have been directed towards.
If they still wanted a positive change to the hecs/help debt scheme they could’ve increased the rate the repayments kick in back to pre-Abbott levels. Accounting for cost of living increases, it mightn’t even be a controversial policy.
I speak as a beneficiary of the rebate. Surely the policy wasn’t that popular with hecs/help debt holders that it drove votes.

I’m more talking about thebpolitical risk, and marginally about enforcement of fishing rights in exclusive zones. As fish stocks are depleted north of Australia, we’ll see more of this, better we can have a predictable, coherent and sustainable policy from the beginning.

But in all seriousness this kind of immigration culture war shit was a huge totem hanging around the last Labor government, and certainly contributed to their downfall. I don’t want to see conservatives, of any stripe, come back in federally for a long time. Labor might not be all people hoped for but they’re doing more than almost a decade of Coalition ever did.
