  • Cross-posting my rebuttal of this misleading stat:


    It's not just that.

    Aboriginal people died at a rate of 0.13 per 100 prisoners, compared to a death rate of 0.21 per 100 prisoners for the total prison population.

    [...]

    The same AIC report calculated that Indigenous people as a whole died in police custody at more than six times the rate of non-Indigenous people as a whole – 0.61 per 100,000 people, compared to 0.09 per 100,000 people.

    As a prison population, they don't die at a higher rate. As a whole peoples they do.

  • Mate, first off he’s not your best friend.

    Could anyone here imagine if their friends did something so horrible to their mother that they caused her to break down upset? I wouldn’t fucking go hang out with them afterwards, like fuck he’s your friend.

    He is your father, and apparently a terrible one if this is the life lessons he wants to impart on his son that it’s okay to be an immature fuck and cheat over get a divorce.

    Cutting him off 100% doesn’t sound right, but you have clearly chosen his side and to stand by him despite how wrong it is — you’re going to have to work hard to make up for your poor choice.

  • They’re not doing it to “be different”

    Also your excuse is pathetic, “rich people are worse, so fuck it?”, do you apply that logic to say throwing trash out your window? I mean the environment already has bottles in it and rich companies do worse, so why justify not litter.

    Individual actions are not the solution, but they are part of the process.

    Instead of complaining that people are suggesting we go back from a rather recent change in hygiene practices to a less destructive form than what capitalism has told us we need to buy, why don’t you do something to better the world?

  • You know how the more repressed countries, are the ones most likely to look up the freakiest porn online?

    Same shit, the Seppos and Brits are so literarily repressed that online is their only avenue to get the words out without fear of swat raid or license fine.

    We however don't need to bloody fucking overcompensate.

  • I doubt much will change. Much the same as the Greens funnel into Lab, Nat votes and support will still go to Lib.

    There's very little to reach across the aisle with in terms of policy or party support. Unless Lab look at dropping Greens and trying to pick up Nats, which well they're politically not that unaligned.

  • We don’t need to bring it back, because it never left. We still celebrate it every year in March.

    If Australia had invented Christmas, I’d be in favour of us changing the date to one that relates to our accomplishment as well.

  • On 21 April 1856, Australian stonemasons in Victoria undertook a mass stoppage as part of the eight-hour workday movement.[15] It became a yearly commemoration, inspiring American workers to have their first stoppage.[16] 1 May was chosen to be International Workers' Day to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago.[17] In that year beginning on 1 May, there was a general strike for the eight-hour workday
