It's a pretty reasonable long-term goal in many areas, like cities. There are pedestrian-only streets near me already. We just need a long-term vision and the infrastructure to follow it.
They both prevented people driving while intoxicated, they're goddamn heroes!
Our union organisers openly say that, despite most managers being given explicit anti-union chilling off-the-record, managers up to a certain grade are covered by our contracts and have an immediate interest in standing with us. There are already a few lower managers and HR staff as members, which is sometimes useful.
That's not what I said. I said it can't do its advertised job, which is very different from its real job.
- This tool is obviously about building control. That's why it has these investors. We both understand that. "It is a censorship tool"
- However, the tool's marketing lies and gives the public a false premise for its existence - they claim this tool is made to combat misinformation by determining real truth. We both understand it's not made to do that. But perhaps, there could be readers in the general public who take it at face value and might believe that's the real purpose.
- My point is that, it barely even tries at building that false premise. I'm not saying it won't be able to do its real job and censor dissent, if it gains institutional power.
I know that it's very obviously a dangerous political tool if it gains any institutional power. And if you don't understand that, watch the video. But even on a technical, non-social level:
There is no real explanation given as so how this system will supposedly determine truth. Just vague pointing to inapplicable abstracted concepts like scientific method and law.
There is 0% (not rounded down) chance that this system can do its advertised job. It is a censorship tool.
Almost tempted to say One Nation, because the more seats they have, the quicker their infighting begins. (I'll save you the counting - all 11 left)
But it will also be entertaining if nothing else to see them lose it and cry again.
Dude has been in solitary confinement in Lithgow for over three years so far. That’s frankly pretty damn harsh all on its own for the accusation of ‘three cases of military training’.
I thought the max security prison was a bit extreme - their alleged crime is obviously serious to the state, but hardly one that requires high security or solitary.
Also: haha
In 1969 the Gorton administration was severely embarrassed by a renowned This Day Tonight story in which a conscientious objector, who had been on the run from police for several months, was interviewed live in the studio by the journalist Richard Carleton, who then posed awkward questions to the Army Minister about why TDT had been able to locate the man within hours and bring him to the studio when the federal police had been unable to capture him, and the event was made even more embarrassing for the government because the man was able to leave the studio before the police had arrived to arrest him.

It's important to understand that Australia, like plenty of other countries, has its own imperial interests in the region. It's unhelpful to blindly assert someone has to be blackmailed in order to abide by these horrors.
