What are you wonderful people up to?

[Thaed]

I dunno, I think it might be close. Even if Turnbull doesn't have his foot in his mouth as much as Abbott, his front benchers do. Polls are pretty tight in favour of Labor at the moment, so at the very least, barring some catastrophic event, we should see non-LNP controlled Senate. Also if Shorten could stop saying retarded shit like they won't form a minority government with the help of the Greens, that's be swell.

What's Australia's version of BNP and Republicans

Yeah nah mate, yer missin' half of it if ya don't hear the accent.

What's Australia's version of BNP and Republicans

If BNP stands for anything wikipedia tells me it stands for, still no idea. Liberal/National Party is Australia's version of Republicans more or less. They're for trickle-down economics, for holding asylum seekers in shitty off-shore camps, against acting on climate change (they're literally paying the biggest polluters to stop polluting, except the companies receiving the money are under no obligation to use it to stop polluting, also won't fund wind plants because of some made up illness that they cause), against the government funding anything that isn't their rich mates (want to further privatize our health/education system). You get the gist of it.

This is the one good play I've made in 20 hours of Rocket League.

Australian politics so bad. Shorten and Turnbull are like the same person. Libs will win next election because Malcolm has been reasonably inoffensive which is pretty easy if you're following old Tone Abot

It's just going to be the same old broken record from both parties, in their race to the bottom on how horrendous we can be to asylum seekers.

A little concerned about the number of "Australia First" style parties cropping up in the Senate. I wish they could all just form a conglomerate and name themselves the 'We're not racist, but...' Party. But I suppose they can't, because even they can't agree on how much they hate brown people. And the gays, let's not forget about them.

[pano]

Shorten is pretty weak, too bad his party can't knife him if he wins. I miss Jules, she got shit done.

Thaed, I'm sure you're right, my opinion is based on when I was last in the country, which was about 3 months Ago. By the sounds of it Dutton is the new Tony.

Snuggles, is that like the Reclaim Australia thing? Australia so racist FML

I've cherry picked a few parties from the current Register. I can't confirm that all of them are 100% racist/backwards assholes because I can't be bothered reading through all their rhetoric. But they certainly set the alarm bells ringing.

Australia First Party (NSW) Incorporated
Australian Christians
Australian Liberty Alliance <----- These gALAhs, I don't even know where to begin.
Christian Democratic Party (Fred Nile Group)
Family First Party
Glenn Lazarus Team <---- anyone that ever associated with Clive Palmer goes on the NOPE list
Jacqui Lambie Network <---- same as above
Katter's Australian Party
Outdoor Recreation Party (Stop The Greens) <--- lol, I don't even know. Love the outdoors, hate environmentalists how does that even work??
Palmer United Party
Pauline Hanson’s One Nation
Rise Up Australia Party
Smokers Rights Party

I threw the Christian ones in there because well, sometimes they seem all moderate and shit but sooner or later you get to the, 'children should have a mum and a dad' policy and it's all down hill from there.

[Thaed]

Lazarus might be alright, actually. He broke off from Palmer fairly early, and I seem to recall him making a few reasonable votes that actually favoured the general population (though if you've read other stuff I'd be inclined to believe you, I haven't looked into it super thoroughly).

In not Australian politics, anyone catch badfo's sick rocketball save?

On the topic of politics, Oklahoma had a pretty great fucking awful week

Oklahoma Senate passes bill to make it a felony to perform abortions
http://www.tulsaworld.com/news/capitol_ ... 9bc66.html

Surprisingly Mary Fallin who is typically a huge fucking retard vetoed the bill
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/05 ... tions.html

The top lawyer for Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin urged prison officials to go forward with a planned execution even though they received the wrong drug, telling a deputy attorney general to "Google it" to confirm it could be used, a grand jury said in a report Thursday.

Also a bunch of our schools are underfunded because abortions and co-ed bathrooms are a bigger deal
http://kfor.com/2016/05/10/oklahoma-cit ... dget-cuts/

Pretty sure all of these made national headlines in some form or another

[badfo]

Middle school students protesting the capital.

Fallin is a complete fucko I'm surprised she vetoed it.

She turned down a shit ton of federal money two years or so ago and the the energy markets crashed and now we have no money gg Fallin fuck you.

She got booed at a Thunder game a week or two ago.

Well I'm rooting for the thunder so at least you have that

Can anybody explain to me why this Emilia Clarke movie has a big enough marketing budget to be every other commercial?

Americans had a great episode last week.

[badfo]

Muricans having a very good season.



Oh Stan.

[isgrelindisguise]

I think that was one of the best scenes they've ever done. Americans doesn't really do comedy, but man was that one good.

[badfo]

Americans finale was amazing. Best season they've done. William owned that episode. Stan acting like a teenage boy was hilarious.

Life tip: don't go to outdoor weddings in south Texas during the summer.

If I buy the Mass Effect trilogy bundle on Origin, does it come with all the DLC for the games or just the base games?

[badfo]

Some DLC, not all the story stuff. Some is just included automatically (I think the ME1 stuff?), some is free off BioWare's site (and maybe Origin?) and the rest has to be bought. Last I looked the remaining DLC for ME2 was ~$40 by itself. Poop emoji.

[isgrelindisguise]

The Mass Effect DLC goes on sale pretty regularly around sale time, if it doesnt give you everything off the bat, you won't have to wait too long for everything else.

[Pewps]

ya but i dont wanna wait
