you missed a bird in the middle.
To what “direct request” are you referring too?


My google-fu failed on this. But it sounds like fun, especially in 80.


Your comment does not make sense. The application of the law is as important as the law itself. In this case, we see it being applied on both sides. So, the shortcomings of the law are partly compensated by how it’s practised.
Just explain you thinking process please? May be you just do not understand my comment? If that date triggers some small minority now is it racist?
I just fail to see how you come to this conclusion based on my post. Please explain.
Racism is ok then, when it “affects only a very small percentage of the population.”
I would take -40 over +40 on any day.


IMHO good news. if that shitty law is applied to everyone, it makes it less shitty.
Logic? Please explain how did you come to this conclusion?
It affects only a very small percentage of the population. For the majority, that date means nothing outside its official meaning. And no matter what day you pick, someone will be offended. Just move on; it does not matter in the grand scale of things. But I would agree that putting it on the day when the federation was formed would make more sense, but January 1st is already used.


It is beyond insanity. Just let people lay in peace. You want to become a compost? We all be it anyway.
Wow, tracing people online. :-) I hate racism, promoting one race over other is racism no mater what. All this jumping around First nation only creates more hate toward them, it is not helping at all. Want to help, help people in disadvantage no matter what race they are. If it will go predominately to aboriginals, fine, it means they need it more.


Yeah, racism only breeds more racism. When the government is trying to embed racism into the constitution via a referendum, it sends a clear signal to guys like this that it is OK. Stop dividing ourselves by race. It will only lead to division.


You will be arrested for accessing material on the manufacture to make a gun. Next time you shop in Burnings be careful. As an example if you are get a drill bit suitable for metal - you are criminal.


Ok. Under young I meant < 35 yo. Anyone <21 are just kids, no one expect them to make long term financial decisions. By 35 you should set on the trade and have decent salary. My observation comes from observing “young” guys in IT. Shiny iPhones, but no though about house.


If there were no landlords, who would pay for these houses? As has been stated many times, people cannot afford to buy a house with their own money. Landlords give them a chance to get a place to live by investing their money. The problem is that the housing crisis is mostly a creation of current policies. Too many restrictions, policies, and commissions. All of these are sucking money. It is hard to afford to build a house, even if you already own the land. Building something cheaper is not possible because it will not comply with current regulations. F$%it, Australia is not same as it was before, we can’t afford licensed plumbers, and shit build by the code. We need to give people a chance to build houses, and then the crisis will go away. (But this will drive property prices down, so the government will never allow that.)


Honestly, I do not know. Twenty years ago, when I bought my house, I had a choice: continue to rent or buy a house in a place from which I had to commute 1.5 hours one way to get to work. I chose to buy a house. I guess many people are not willing to make such a sacrifice. But the relative cost of houses has gone up. Back then, I paid four times my pre-tax yearly salary for it. These days, it would be eight times, so we can’t really compare. But when I look at young people whining about not being able to buy a house while changing their iPhones every year and driving new, expensive cars, it raises a question.


may be they should pay their own mortgage? It is should be cheaper than rent if you assume that landlord is not contributing.
It just REST API, use restic for example.
