I've seen this advice and tried it. It feels so incredibly dangerous to try track the beam of light while still trying to pay attention to the road.

Yagami Tetsuya assassinated Abe Shinzo, former PM of Japan, while he was drumming up support for a candidate from his party. The motive was his mother draining the family savings account to donate to a Christian cult known as the Unification Church, aka Moonies. He actually wanted to kill the Moonie leadership but deemed it unrealistic, so he went after Abe who had ties to the cult. After the assassination, it came out that a lot of Japanese leadership had ties to the cult and there was a bit of a witch-hunt.

That may or may not have participated in the time honoured qld police tradition of picking up aboriginal youth and dumping them in the middle of nowhere to walk home.

Can someone explain Australian parties to me?

We don't have fptp, we have ranked choice. So if our first choice gets eliminated, votes will go to the second choice and so on. This means that minor parties and independent candidates have a chance.

Labor is our centre-left part with roots in unions. Liberals are centre-right with roots in business and suburban professionals but have been charging hard right in an attempt to pick up the conservative retard vote. Our current actual centre-right is a bunch of independents (candidates not endorsed by a party) collectively known as the Teals. Greens are the biggest actual left party. Pauline Hanson's One Nation (PHON) and Trumpet of Patriots (TOP) are right wing nuts.

Albanese is a "cunt" because he and his party still cater to big business despite claiming to be the party of workers. An example from Tasmania being introducing Federal legislation to protect the salmon farms currently destroying our waterways in an attempt to buy votes in a marginal electorate.

Australia’s baby drought underscores challenges facing young workers

How the fuck are people expected to have kids when they need to work work work just to live. So many people can barely support themselves, much less be expected to support two other individuals. And it is two because all these articles keep harping on about the "replacement rate". No one in power seems to want to do anything to actually help aside from funneling more taxes into corporate leeches with increasing subsidies.
