Deporting men is not doing much to combat violence against women, considering most attacks on women in Australia are perpetrated by Australian men. My take on that is it's more about demonising immigrants than it is about keeping women safe.
@mustlovedogs Is that what happened though? Or did two drunk women get in the back of a taxi, vomit, agree to pay when they were dropped off and then denied their freedom by an irrational taxi driver? Like DG above, I too have read the timeline of events and it seems that this taxi driver is very much in the wrong! Wouldn't you get abusive if someone locked you in the back of a taxi and refused to take you to your destination? Wouldn't you try to escape? I would say that is what escalated things. It's so interesting how people are quick to dismiss how frightening that would have been, especially women. And especially when the driver was never formally questioned by police and his cab was never searched for a camera. They just relied on the word of the cab driver, even after Sam Kerr repeatedly said, over 20 times, to listen to the recording. That's why Sam Kerr showed her bank account to the cops, because she wanted them to know that she had every intention of paying the cabby, when he'd taken them to their destination.
@myopinion it could be because of a police investigation, but if not, agree. These people do not deserve privacy after what they said. It is abhorrent.
@mulcahymob They are a wealthy organisation full of powerful people. That lets you get away with pretty much anything these days.
Shoulder bags aren't for every occasion and the youth will realise this at some point. A cross-body bag is good for a day out in the city or a music festival, especially in big crowds. Shoulder bags require constant adjustment and I don't think they are as secure, especially if someone tries to grab it. If you want your outfit to be seen, get a cute backpack. There's a reason Millenials got into the cross-body bag, it's practical and stylish. They will never be "out".
"There'll be no kissing of the baby's face and no touching her. "
This one won't last, at least the touching her bit. My sister in law stated this and within the first few weeks, she was handing that baby over to family members without hesitation.
Some of these are reasonable, like the one about people being vaccinated, not smoking before meeting the baby and not posting pics of the baby on social media. She does seem very anxious, though, I think once she has settled into parenthood, she will relax some of these rules.
They definitely have them in the UK, Frank Skinner had a leather one made for him that he brought into Taskmaster UK for a prize challenge.
It's been incredible reading comments from Americans under the stories for this on social media. There is very little sympathy for this man, based on his very unethical business practices, and I've seen a lot of glee from many about his death. It seems many are extremely fed up with the health system over there and the unethical practices that these insurance companies engage in. It's definitely a turning point and I don't think it will matter what the motives of the killer are, I think this is the start of something as working-class people are definitely fed up and the tide is turning against the elite. The feeling is (and I agree) that this killer has done a lot less damage to society than the CEO he killed.
Rushed legislation with no nuance that just pushes the government into what should be a parent's decision. This is what a nanny state looks like. Plus, it just lets the tech companies off the hook, no accountability needed from them, let's just ban kids. How will this help them navigate social media when they turn 16? There are kids out there who rely on their online social networks for acceptance and friendships, as well. This will not help kids living in poverty, our poor educational outcomes, the huge and current issue of youth crime and justice or bullying. It's just a bandaid. Just a big "look at us, doing stuff", when in reality this is nothing.
@kim.rochow I thought he was called Colin...
I'm sorry, what? Wearing an adult diaper at a concert so you don't miss a few minutes? That is crazy enough, let alone peeing all over the floor! Gross. Use the toilets!
That's why it was never solved. When police hyperfocus in one direction and dismiss real evidence because it doesn't suit the narrative they are trying to force, answers are impossible to find. Hopefully, one day, the DNA recovered can lead to the person who did this and the Ramsey family can finally find some peace.
Yay! Time for a rewatch, I think! And it's funny, I really do not like James Cordon at all, but he's just done such a good job with this show.
It makes me so sad that people have to jump through so many hoops for a basic human right. We do property all wrong here. It shouldn't be seen as an "investment", but as a necessity for a productive, happy life and it should be widely available and affordable.
I was quite sick as a child. If the internet had existed and my mother had put me all over the internet like this, I don't reckon I would speak to her anymore as an adult. By all means, find a support network and share your own experiences as a mother of a sick child, but plastering your sick child all over the internet and not respecting their privacy? Showing their faces and sharing their names? Sharing their private medical details with the word? Nah, I don't like it at all. That isn't your experience to share, it is your child's.
I love this and will take it out into the world. Tell mums they are doing a good job! What a simple gesture that meant so much
He's still cooking... and not in the food sense, either.
I think MONA is a great place to take kids! Lots to do and lots of good conversations to have. And don't stress, I've been a few times and NEVER gone into the poo room. It stinks!
I don't like this new trend of not turning up to things if you don't feel like it on the day. It's just rude and look at how it has affected this poor couple! Either say you aren't going when you RSVP or turn up if you have told the host that you are coming, even if you don't feel like it on the day! I just don't understand how people can be so rude as not even to give a heads-up that they can't make it.
I've pulled apart several different washing machines in my time, to fix them and to salvage spare parts from broken ones and I've never seen socks in there like that, so I have no idea what the heck these people are doing to have this happen!
