  • Well that is hilarious. I like the cut of his jib. I love how they're both eye bulging wtf-ing out.

  • I read that as "meathead" and was about to ask what it referred to... duh.

  • Music - Self-Host - how to start / what's your stack?
  • I've had navidrome setup for a while, but could never find a really good client for my android phone... thanks for the Symfonium link, it looks great. Will definitely give it a go.

  • NBNCo reveals plans to upgrade speed tiers
  • 1000/50 is available on HFC. I know because I have it.

  • Create a race to the bottom in the rental market
  • IP is typically leveraged, effectively multiplying returns.

  • Minister indicates Australia could follow UK and force banks to reimburse scam victims
  • Good. Fucking banks make enough off the Australian public. Their willful ignorance when people are taken for a ride isn't acceptable.

  • Sky News Australia to launch new channel dedicated to covering Indigenous voice
  • Minor correction... The Voice doesn't exist between the two houses of government. It will be an advisory body to parliament, thats it.

  • The Indigenous Voice to Parliament – separating fact from fiction | 7.30
  • I don't follow. I'm not saying its either/or, I'm saying the voice looks like it will achieve nothing if it has no powers or additional rights. If it has the same access to parliament as existing lobbying bodies, why is it needed?

    I understand the need for reconciliation and to improve outcomes for indigenous people, I just don't see how a body with no power can achieve it.

    It seems like the yes camp are trying to have it both ways. To those leaning towards yes: "Yay its going to make a difference!" While at the same time those wary and leaning to no: "It won't change anything or have any real power". Which is it? I'm confused.

  • The Indigenous Voice to Parliament – separating fact from fiction | 7.30
  • This is why I don't see the point of the whole thing. If it gives no special powers/rights... whats the point? I'd rather see an official treaty than a powerless voice.
