Probably won't come as a surprise. Accent Research & Octopus Group find those who relied on Sky News, daily tabloids, The Australian, free-to-air TV, AM radio, Facebook & FM radio for news were more likely to vote No at the referendum. #auspol https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/oct/16/people-who-watch-sky-news-more-likely-to-vote-no-survey-of-voting-behaviour-finds

Can't we just tax these things out of existence instead?

Australia may increase standard car parking spaces as huge vehicles dominate the streets

Critics say boom in sales of SUVs and dual-cab utes has been disastrous for safety and the environment – and car parks may be at risk of collapse

@olives Also, I'd like to say no one possessing or creating child pornography or bestiality is innocent of those crimes.

@olives And to think I thought you were about to have a reasonable debate lol. Then you accuse me of being in QAnon.

@olives I am ambivalent on "anthro" furry art. "Feral" furry art, however, is bestiality and should be censored.
My opinions on rape fantasies are this. I believe a desire to engage as a "rapee" (i guess?) in a fantasy is fine, but wanting to be a rapist isn't, though bodily autonomy should be respected.
I think those people should probably go to therapy, same with paedophiles and zoophiles. My validation argument is based on it validating those attractions, not validating abuse itself.

Aug 2022: Essential poll for #TheVoice shows #VoteYes at 65% and #VoteNo at 35%, although 65% knew little to nothing about it. What went wrong?

The biggest factor was a well-funded, long-running disinformation campaign of fear.

Albo needs to:
1. Beef up his wet-lettuce misinformation laws to include traditional media.
2. Strengthen election laws.
3. Crack down on dark money
4. Fix the ABC.

@mark_melbin The No vote's case here was "this is a power grab from the urban Aboriginals", but urban aboriginals... voted no... and rural aboriginals voted yes?

@olives Child pornography should not only be banned for it containing abuse, but also because it is immoral to depict people who cannot consent engaging in sexual intercourse.
It also validates paedophilia through allowing people to consume art that DEPICTS the abuse of children, regardless of true abuse occurred.
I'm not a troll. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll.
Also, Australia's defamation laws require damage to business for litigation, so good luck.
