Thanks for sharing this. It's really interesting.

Very minor (possible?) correction. I think the English word you want for "dodoi" might be "boo-boo". "boo-hoo" is a representation of crying. Usually used sarcastically. ("Oh, you didn't like that? Boo-hoo. Get over it.") Whereas "a boo-boo" is a childish term for a minor injury.

Out of interest, is Amon a common/fairly normal Portuguese pet name, or did you name him after the Avatar character? (Or something else?)

Yellow and green easy. Never would've got purple in a million years.

Bluethree were easy but finding the fourth was hard. I'm not sure I agree with it.

A hack is a description of someone's ability at their job, not the name of the job itself.

I hope the NSW govt doesn't do the same limp thing the Qld govt did and allow one of the "grounds" to be "end of fixed lease". That completely weakens the law to the point it's nearly entirely useless.

I suspect it probably would. But shouldn't that be the user's choice to make?

Damn autocorrect. Imma leave that up, it's too funny.

Cos wasn't coined for anything even remotely related to sex or gender. It's just the Latin opposite of trans. Which honestly just makes whinging about the term from reactionaries like Musty all the more ridiculous.

He's a soccer player and he disagrees with the ref's decision. What more context do you need?

Soccer players are infamously fucking divas.

But MMP does that. I don't understand how that description differs from regular MMP.

Aaaaaand this is why Labour will never countenance this within this parliament.

This is why it's important to hammer home to them that this election is an anomaly. Look at all the elections since 2010. What would all those Parliaments have looked like in proportional elections?

FPTP helped Labour this week. It hurts them far more often.

No. It's Speedos.

In the analogy, budgies are cocks.

He probably should have been honest and upfront about it, but he also named their kid after something he obviously loves, and I think that's great. If she loved the name before knowing its origin, she should love it even more for being associated with something that at least one parent thinks is beautiful.

Full transcription:

Israel kills Palestinian men, women, and children, and then they look around the world and they don't receive a single sanction, a single sanction to stop. They are emboldened and they keep acting. I mean, this motion is a joke. It is a joke "as part of a peace process". What peace process? Israel is carrying out a genocide. Israel is carrying out a genocide in Gaza. It's not a peace process. Why is it that 146 countries could find it within their hearts to recognise Palestine right now. Why is it that the Australian Government refuses?

How is it that when a Labor Senator, Senator Payman, who had the principles and the courage to cross the floor to vote with the Greens to immediately recognise Palestine, why is it that Senator Payman face [sic] more sanctions than Labor has dished out against Israel?

What do you all do? What does this Labor Government do? They can recognise Israel but they can't immediately recognise Palestine. You can't end two-way arms trade. You can't cancel the Elbit Systems contract. You can't sanction Israel. And you should all be deeply, deeply ashamed.

I am torn, deeply torn. On one hand, I have the immense support of the rank-and-file members, unionists, the lifelong the party volunteers, who are calling on me to hang in there and to make change happen internally.

On the other hand, I am pressured to conform to Caucus solidarity and toe the party line.

I see no middle ground and my conscience leaves me no choice.
