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.
Can’t help thinking of this Sean Lock DERAILS Show and His Career With ‘Nazi Island’!!.
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.
😂 yeah alright, i felt a bit like that typing it out.
The Labor Government want to get onto this quickly and quietly! This is such a culture war risk for them. Also, with the geopolitical way the world has turned, theres a real national security angle to making sure the borders are patrolled adequately, however costly that is.
Of course whatever they do they have to remember Dutton’s mantra, “We don’t comment on, on water matters.”
Also, are these fishermen charged with things like illegal entry, and illegally fishing? Surely theres criminal remedies that come into play at some point otherwise theres no deterrent.
After reading that, I feel a need to say,
“and thanks for the fish!”
That had moments with real satirical value. Damn, Rex Patrick is a good egg.
That is horrible situation to placed in. Helping save someone who is actively trying to ruin your life and hurt you. They did the right thing, but there must be little satisfaction in helping these oppressors.
I’ll never get over old mate putting the whole whisk in his mouth! 😂
Isn’t the enforcer based on Alastair Campbell, now does Rest is Politics Podcast, or at least his reputation from the Blair period.
The world is your dungeon! The birds are your dragons! Especially the willy wagtails!
They may be firmly asked to leave, depending on what they do, but they’ll be exempt.
Hadn’t looked it up before.
From About Us page,
BDS is a peaceful and non-violent means to pressure the State of Israel to end the illegal occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem and the blockade of Gaza; to allow the internationally recognized Right of Return to Palestinian refugees to the land and homes from which Israel forcibly expelled them in 1948; and to ensure equal rights for all Palestinians living in Israel according to international law and human rights conventions.
Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) is a strategy initiated in 2005 by 170 Palestinian civil society organisations calling for boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel’s government and those entities which support and benefit from its actions in relation to Palestinians, until such time as the Israeli government abides by international law and Palestinians are given the rights and freedoms they are entitled to. It is based on the successful South African anti-apartheid boycott movement of the 1970s and 80s.

15 Australians have just been killed in the largest mass shooting since Port Arthur… on your fucken watch pal!! Cool your jets, put your head down, and do your job with a little more humility.
Ooh, a Senator Collins appearance. Always feel a sense of achievement when a post of mine earns that kind of attention.
The cost of heatwaves, and then the fires is just heartbreaking.

One element of Lemmy that is being underutilised by many people is the ‘together but separate’ nature of this social media.
This is probably due to a lot of the user interfaces, be it desktop or mobile, not prioritising showing a distinction between servers.
The app ‘sync’ is one example that does prioritise this, (although its not been updated for ages so is slowly breaking).
This app allows you to visit each server individually, not just single communities. This means you can spend your time on some of the country specific, or special interest servers where the very ‘reddity’ US politics posting is minimal, if present at all.
So my advice, go explore some specific servers. I don’t know what DB0’s server is like. Just had a quick look, seems like a tonne of bots posting on the local, so maybe not the best example of what I mean.
Try my home instance (aussie.zone) theres a group of regular posters, and while we have an ‘overseas news’ community, it isnt the most popular community on the server, and US stuff is far from the top three of subjects.
Other examples of what I mean are,
Lemmy.NZ Feddit.UK Programming.dev Slrpnk.net
We have the ability to have whole servers dedicated to niche topics, and their different facets, while still being connected to the whole, its quite fantastic.
So go explore different servers, maybe even move to a server that particularly interests you, that way when you can’t do the content on ‘all’ or ‘subscribed’ communities, theres the ‘local’ or ‘favourite’ servers there as well.

Middle powers need to come to a settled policy position around a bancor-like policy. I think its unlikely a major power would take the lead instead of favouring their own currency as reserve. After half a century the idea probably needs updating. Then they need to coordinate as blocs to make it painful for China and USA to resist.
If middle powers can peel one major away from their own more position of self regard, maybe in a moment of strategic weakness, then that could make it far more likely to be successful. So a situation not unlike what the USA did with the Russia-China partnership under Nixon.
Without the major economies of the world all signing on, i’m not sure if a bancor could be done with middle powers and developing nations alone. Maybe theres a model between this set of nations that works without setting off recurring imbalance of payments crises? I’m not sure.
Professor Steven Keen speaks very well on the bancor, he and Phil Dobbie get into it on their Debunking Economics Podcast.
Sorry u/dustycups, had to follow you along here and have a sticky beak. :)
