Kinda sounds more like a gun problem then a drug problem
Those murders were done with guns and from what I’ve read these are retaliation murders but I mean yeah I guess dRuGs ArE tHe PrObLeM
Why is this needed? What makes it difficult to get a warrant?
the police are not there for you. They are there for those in power. If those in power want you silenced they have now more power to do it.

This is so unbelieveably fucked.
The world is gradually moving towards a police state.

Except for the drug dealer kingpins. They live in Bondi.
Pretty sure a lot of them already live there. Easiest way to hide dirty money is to move to the richest suburb in the city.
You can't believe the party that supported the cash ban bill, supported the anti-encryption bill, supported the news media bargaining bill, supported the online Safety Bill and abhorrent materials bill would ALSO support other privacy and freedom eroding legislation???
What fucking planet are you living on?
Liberal, Labor, Nationals, Greens, doesn't matter. Both major parties and most of the minor parties will constantly erase our liberties for safety.
Every. Single. Fucking. Time.
The deaths are to control.The drug trade, seems like a DrUg problem
Do you have serious drug offences on your record? If no, then they can’t just search your house.

Yes but it’s only being run in specific locations and bondi ain’t one of them
King pins live rural. They own vineyards , hence the hunter valley being a targeted area
It’s this. Fucking over civil liberty has bipartisan support in nsw.

I don't think he does, but surely he doesn't watch the video OP posted
Really so it can only be enacted in the SW? There’s a geographic specification? Wow. That is outright classist, postcode prejudice.
Even better, there’s not a geographic specification, they just selectively enforce it.
Not exclusively SW also ares around Newcastle/
Hunter and a regional location
So I just turned 18 on the 14th does that mean I am required to vote? I'm afraid of a fine and am wondering if I am required to vote having just turned 18.
There is a good chance you have been automatically enrolled. You can check on the AEC website.
Please do vote.. it’d be a shame not to when you’re entitled to!
It’s only a $20 fine anyway
yes, you are required to vote (the enforcement is a different story)
On election day, go to your local voting place and ask for a "declaration vote". You will be asked to fill out an envelope. Then you'll be issued with a voting paper. You must complete the vote, put in the envelope and come back and see the person you got the declaration vote from (NOT in the box at the door).
If it was me, i'd go online anyway and enrol to vote. Obviously it will be too late to go through the usual process.

Good. Consistent career of failing upwards and being protected by the party machine.
A failed parachute drop.
Hopefully that’s the last we see of her. Thank god it didn’t cost them the election

You might have heard some Coalition talking heads saying that Labor lost their primary vote, but I don't see it.
Need a label on your Y-axis
What percentage is counted?
They'll be mostly looking at Reps this week.
It could easily take a month to count and then allocate Senate votes.
Overall, Labour Reps vote is down.
Devil's advocate here, Liberals votes went to UAP and Hanson, Greens picked up votes from extinct minor parties with similar policy platforms. What am I missing?
Senate quotas
My assumption is per million.
I calculate 44% counted right now. But that may be only the first preference data which is a small part of the job. It will take a while, but they have until 30 June 2022.
In the House of Reps there is a bit on anecdotal evidence of strategic voting in the teal-contested seats\*. Also a few first preferences going to One Nation for all those One-Nation first, Labor Second voters.
\* In the teal seats, a voter who would otherwise have put Labor first may decide to be an Anti-Liberal voter by voting for the teal candidate because they believe:
* Teal + (Labor preferences that flow to Teal) > Liberal + (Labor preferences that flow to Liberal)
* AND
* Liberal + (Teal preferences that flow to Liberal) > Labor + (Teal preferences that flow to Labor)
I think this was the actual case in 2019 in Warringah.
The truth might well be closer to your model than mine.
The reason I put it up is I was sick of the Liberal apologists on TV saying that Labor lost primary votes and that this is a terrible result compared to Kevin '07. It's a great result.
Yes. Senate Quotas. Thanks :)
i have a friend, who lives in bankstown, nsw. i am nowhere near them. i am merely looking for help. they are a minor, and they are a part of an abusive family. and they are going to be kicked out by their father soon. they need a place to stay. are there any shelters or places where they can go for a temporary settlement? D.V shelters or anything really. also i dont think they are in a position to get the police involved. so...yes. i just want to find them a place to stay until they can figure things out.
You'd do better to ask in r/Sydney
I "they" are female then chances of DV accommodation are good. If male, very much harder. Good luck.
Reach out to Bankstown Domestic Violence Service:
https://cbdvsd.com.au/bankstown-domestic-violence-service/
It's best to contact them in the first instance because they'll be able to advise your friend on many aspects of leaving the home, including getting access to financial assistance and developing a safety plan.
Different services/accommodation options are available depending on the age of your friend, they should also be able to advise.
Link 2 Home run accommodation services 1800 152 152.
Your friend could also talk to a counsellor or teacher they trust at their school.
This brochure has some useful local info but may be a little out of date: https://www.tmnlinks.net.au/assets/information_files/bankstownb-domestic-violence-service.pdf
16 is the legal age they can be independent of guardians and receive living away from home allowance. I was kicked out at that age. Moved into a sharehouse. If they are younger, Child Protection will need to be involved and they will be placed in accomodation/foster care.
thank you sir
thanks alot i REALLY appreciate this
New Zealander here. I am curious to know why large plots of radiata pine forests are a thing in temperate regions of Australia yet native gum forests still seem to remain vast? Here in New Zealand radiata pine trees are everyfuckingwhere: on private property, in park lands, on farms and off course, on the shitloads of plantations we have. So much so that they we have a wilding pine problem in certain parts of the country where they invade tussock lands in the South Island and certain native forest reserves elsewhere. Pines were mass planted a century ago because native timbers such as kauri, rimu and tōtara were being severely depleted and pines were considered to be a faster growing solution to this timber shortage. Are native Aussie trees such as Hoop Pine, Swamp Gum and Jarrah considered too slow growing for commercial forestry? Or do natives and exotics serve different timber applications, hence why gum forests still dominate the landscape while exotic forests are confined to remote areas?
I can half answer this because of a course I did aaaaages ago.
They use selective breeding for the trees to get the tallest/straightest and as a result they can process them faster. The machine they use is built for consistent logs.

Radiata pine is fast growing and straight. Is lightweight and easily treated to be rot resistant. My understanding is that these foreign pines grow with far fewer defects than native species due to insects not targeting them. (Borers, etc)
Cypress pine is an example of a native pine that is extensively grown in commercial forestry due to its superior termite resistance compared to radiata, but is slower growing.
I don't think hoop pines have quality timber.
This question has been answered really well by Bradfieldscheme (all the love my fellow infrastructure man).
Funny the question was booted from r/Australia this is a very Australian question !
My additions, pine not only grows very quickly and very straight. Gum trees comparatively absolutely suck for buidling. Timber needs to be plentiful and workable. Gum trees have terrible growth patterns that makes the wood hard to plane and is prone to warping and splitting as it dries. For more info check out some cabinet making articles on why oak/ mahogany/ pine is used the way it is.
There are a few uses for gum trees namely charcoal production and non structural uses (pilons, railway ties) but the wood is generally terrible when compared with pine. Some gum trees are very resistant to bora/termites (iron bark) but they are even worse for workability.
Pine isn't used raw either, construction timber is a processed product. It is steamed, compressed, and preserved. Think of construction timber like paper we feed in something with good quality specifications and improve it with manufacturing processes.
Timber is a fascinating industry and makes for great non poltical reading. Already the demand for timber has exceeded supply so new forms of wood products are being created. New engineered timber beams called Laminated timber beams are entering the market due to superior quality and price. Again pine works best for the manufacturer so pine is what is planted.
Wood generally is a great source of buidling material because it is literally a carbon sink. Replacing a concreteor or steel beam with a timber beam will dramatically reduce emissions.
This is a really cool question that I don't know the answer to. Might be worth also posting in the r/Australia sub, which is a fair whack busier (:
Dunno but after WW1 (WW2?), returned soldiers were given plots of land for growing pine. Smaller plots were not compatible with economy of scale and it was just a struggle.
But maybe the reason is just that pine is a fast growing wood used for timber products.
I think it all like anything these days, it’s all about money, as said before pine trees are faster than native hardwoods, they want their money but don’t want to wait for it. Sad, but true.
Have to get it somewhere so why not grow pines…good building and home diy industries here!
Do you know if we were willing to invest the time, is there anything stopping us from breeding more uniform native trees?
> Timber is a fascinating industry and makes for great non political reading.
yeah, the course i did at uni was a real eye opener. They're all about efficiency and maximising the output (with as low as reasonably practical damage to the environment)
Now it's working. Just had to remove the F bomb.
