Fun fact: for the first time since that happened our faith in our politicians is back at that exact same level that led to that happening
Ah, so the power was executed once... But I think this is going to be like sliceing the head of a hydra...
The ridiculous thing is that the political party in power usually elects the governor general so it’s a conflict of interest.

lol that was in an aussie accent even in my head.
SerpentWearer
There's a religious discrimination bill in Australia? That sounds bad. I'll have to look into that.
yeah, it's literally just scott Morrison trying to keep everyone distracted from his government's massive funding cuts in all major sectors.
our conservative government are trying to punish the gays for getting the right to marry when Aus voted overwhelmingly yes the other year.
NoeCarrier
The strong streak of reserved conservative thinking is probably our fault, sorry about that. If it helps, they'll all die off eventually.
bobdavis1
The gays?
Nah, all those gay hating, censorship inducing, ethnic hating right wing nutters descended from old UK Tories.
Thatcher and her ilk are all but gone, and their pale descendents are no match. Keep the faith and the dawn will come.
Mate we need action on climate change more. Australia has the potential to hit 500% of our current energy needs with renewables
Anonawesome
Considering the giant solar farms I've seen in the US, and how most of Aus is empty, I'm surprised they're not leading the charge in solar.
Well they ger paid millions from fossil fuel lobbys
shadowrunner03
too many fruit loops complaining about them just like windfarms and 5g
The Australian economy was built off coal and other natural resources, unfortunately these companies gained so much power over our -
Politicians/government that it’s hard to go against them. Same story in the US with oil companies influence on gov. But Australia absolutely
Should invest heavily in renewable energy, considering we have the space & weather perfect for solar, and the resources to make it happen
coal is massively subsidized and (currently) cheap. But no new coal plants will be built in aus, too expensive.
Justjustin2300
Except you know adani
Still can’t believe that’s going ahead. Haven’t seen a movement get this much traction in Aus since the indigenous rights movements
Thats a mine and Australia likes to pretend once coals on a ship it doesnt count
Thats a mine and they don't even really want to build it. They just want the gov to change the existing deal so they can sue for billions.
malachitedragon
Because of the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) dipshits. They pretend they're all for it, just not where they can see it.
JohnMike64
The outback looks shit anyway
LookingForWorkInColorado
Partially. It's also politicians being paid by coal mines to keep coal on the menu.
mitharas
But aren't there huge parts of Australia where literally no one has a backyard even in the vicinity?
"Oh but you'll kill all the birds in the area mate, you can't do that." And other stupid excuses.
They don't care. They don't want them built -at all-; they just pretend that's the reason for their objections.

Ackshually, that is the country of Australia...
It's almost a continent as well, though we do tend to group NZ and the rest of the Oceaniac islands in with it
Australia is a country, continent and island, we're special
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
It's both
From what I can find, the continent includes the proximate islands including Tasmania, New Guinea, the Aru Islands and Raja Ampat Islands.
That might be Australasia. Australia is a continent itself.
https://www.mapsofworld.com/australia-continent-map.htm

Australia is a country; it is in the continent of Oceania.

As a continent is a continuous expanse of land, no. You're thinking of the Indo-Australian Plate.

Climate change, that is.
Had to know it'd be in here somewhere. Yes, human made climate is real. No, the weather being hot/cold somewhere DOES NOT prove/disprove it

Sure, but more extreme weather patterns than are typical are evidence that supports it.

I was talking 120s. I can't remember a time its ever gotten that high, but then again my memory is shit. I'm also from Houston.
i don’t remember a 120s either
BerntheVote2020
With the Heat Index, & during our 100* summers, temps can be over 110* for days at a time. I also remember it being that hot in Arizona.
https://www.livescience.com/amp/16036-dallas-heat-record.html
But did it reach 120s?
mustangcharlie
yes https://americanprofile.com/articles/highest-and-lowest-temperature-in-texas/
So like.. one time in the 90s and once in the 30s. That's not exactly enough to say it gets in the 120s.

yeah, it's literally just scott Morrison trying to keep everyone distracted from his government's massive funding cuts in all major sectors.
drunkill
our conservative government are trying to punish the gays for getting the right to marry when Aus voted overwhelmingly yes the other year.
NoeCarrier
The strong streak of reserved conservative thinking is probably our fault, sorry about that. If it helps, they'll all die off eventually.
bobdavis1
The gays?
NoeCarrier
Nah, all those gay hating, censorship inducing, ethnic hating right wing nutters descended from old UK Tories.
NoeCarrier
Thatcher and her ilk are all but gone, and their pale descendents are no match. Keep the faith and the dawn will come.
RadicalLeftist
Mate we need action on climate change more. Australia has the potential to hit 500% of our current energy needs with renewables
Anonawesome
Considering the giant solar farms I've seen in the US, and how most of Aus is empty, I'm surprised they're not leading the charge in solar.
RadicalLeftist
Well they ger paid millions from fossil fuel lobbys
shadowrunner03
too many fruit loops complaining about them just like windfarms and 5g
SuprisedPikachuFace
The Australian economy was built off coal and other natural resources, unfortunately these companies gained so much power over our -
SuprisedPikachuFace
Politicians/government that it’s hard to go against them. Same story in the US with oil companies influence on gov. But Australia absolutely
SuprisedPikachuFace
Should invest heavily in renewable energy, considering we have the space & weather perfect for solar, and the resources to make it happen
drunkill
coal is massively subsidized and (currently) cheap. But no new coal plants will be built in aus, too expensive.
Justjustin2300
Except you know adani
SuprisedPikachuFace
Still can’t believe that’s going ahead. Haven’t seen a movement get this much traction in Aus since the indigenous rights movements
RadicalLeftist
Thats a mine and Australia likes to pretend once coals on a ship it doesnt count
drunkill
Thats a mine and they don't even really want to build it. They just want the gov to change the existing deal so they can sue for billions.
malachitedragon
Because of the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) dipshits. They pretend they're all for it, just not where they can see it.
JohnMike64
The outback looks shit anyway
LookingForWorkInColorado
Partially. It's also politicians being paid by coal mines to keep coal on the menu.
mitharas
But aren't there huge parts of Australia where literally no one has a backyard even in the vicinity?
Longinus212
"Oh but you'll kill all the birds in the area mate, you can't do that." And other stupid excuses.
malachitedragon
They don't care. They don't want them built -at all-; they just pretend that's the reason for their objections.

Firies? Is that firefighters? Why am I not surprised?

In Aus slang is natural we call beer piss and McDonald's Macca's is it really a surprise firefighters has a slang name too

What about the women though? Firies is a gender neutral name.

It's almost a continent as well, though we do tend to group NZ and the rest of the Oceaniac islands in with it
Nyoibo83
Australia is a country, continent and island, we're special
TheLookAndFeelMUSIC
It's both
Microfiche
From what I can find, the continent includes the proximate islands including Tasmania, New Guinea, the Aru Islands and Raja Ampat Islands.

That might be Australasia. Australia is a continent itself.

As a continent is a continuous expanse of land, no. You're thinking of the Indo-Australian Plate.

She sounds pretty hot

Are canadian wells something common in Australia ?

Yeh, nah (sorry) only straylin (Australian) wells round here mate (buddy/guy).

Hello fellow Adelaideian, yup, shit's going to suck, I'm just glad we got the new AC installed in time

Yes indeed.

If only everything there wasn't trying to kill me I would move just to escape the snow.

Much prefer the cold, but constant snow in winter would be a pain

Dude, seriously, fuck anything over 75. I fucking despise being hot. Fucking hate it. Like If I go out and it's a hot day fuck that day.

Australians are strict on immigration.

Maybe you could just move the snow to Australia? :-)

Melbourne is fine. No fires, doubt we'll see the insane temps, one of worlds most liveable cities. And good coffee!
jridley
When my kid graduated (we live in Michigan) she said she was going where there wasn't snow.She wound up in Melbourne after a couple of years
SnivellusSnape
Yup, I'm 32 and never seen snow. The nearest in winter is 3+ hrs away
Quismiff
The yo-yo temps are fucky though, 37°C one day 19°C the next...
SnivellusSnape
Thats not very normal though.

Surprisingly... over a 9 year period... cows/horses were caused the most deaths in Aus. Source - Aus Bureau of Statistics and an assignment

I mean, that’s not including drop bear related deaths...

Drop bears aren’t included in the statistics for obvious reasons.

But... but the government says climate change ain't a thing?
WCHandy
Climate change, that is.
WCHandy
Had to know it'd be in here somewhere. Yes, human made climate is real. No, the weather being hot/cold somewhere DOES NOT prove/disprove it
FiveShiftOne
Sure, but more extreme weather patterns than are typical are evidence that supports it.
DatDudeTrent
Earth’s been doing that since before Humans
jazzwicket
Not like this. https://climate.nasa.gov/evidence/

Not this quickly. Over tens of thousands of years, not tens of years.

Watched that dumb fuck Pauline on the telly. She said climate change isn't man made. It's because the earth is closer to the sun, volcanic..

Hey 2/3 not man made. It close to perfect score.. for a toddler.

Atomic bombs aren't man made?
FuriousPotatoe
Everybody knows those are naturally occurring phenomena

According to Pauline they must be naturally occurring atomic bombs.

Maybe they lay in wait for their natural prey the hurricane?

It doesn't get nearly that hot in texas.

what part of texas? i’m from houston and i remember about 5 100 degree days a year, and then there was one year that took out my lawn.
xVVitch
I was talking 120s. I can't remember a time its ever gotten that high, but then again my memory is shit. I'm also from Houston.
igoslow
i don’t remember a 120s either
BerntheVote2020
With the Heat Index, & during our 100* summers, temps can be over 110* for days at a time. I also remember it being that hot in Arizona.

So like.. one time in the 90s and once in the 30s. That's not exactly enough to say it gets in the 120s.
