This is definitely a step in the right direction.
It seems likely, though, that they’ll end up with something like the ‘Super PACs’ (Political Action Committees) they use as a workaround in the US.
Nice to be noticed! Thanks for moderating ♥️
Shortly after, Mr Dreyfus spoke on the ABC’s Afternoon Briefing where he directed his anger about the issue towards the Greens leader.
“I think that the Greens political party and particularly the leader of the Greens political party have got something to answer for here in the way that they have been encouraging criminal damage of MPs electorate offices, encouraging really riotous behaviour, sometimes violent behaviour, that has been occurring outside electorate offices,” Mr Dreyfus said on the program.
Yeah, that does seem pretty defamatory. Maybe the meaning of ‘encourage’ could be weaseled about by the defence if it does go to court, but “they have been encouraging criminal damage” doesn’t seem very ambiguous. If he’d said ‘they have been encouraging protests resulting in criminal damage’ he might have more of a leg to stand on.
If you want scientists to be able to do science, they need support from admin staff doing admin.
About 65% felt the job cuts would impact CSIRO’s ability to put out good research and support Australian industries.
“Less support staff means more work for an already stretched research workforce,” one anonymised respondent wrote.
He can’t claim ignorance 😠
The high quality zingers we’ve come to expect from Shorten don’t come cheap!
Tingle wasn’t talking about that in her original remarks. The bit about The Australian’s considerable coverage on supposed anti-semitism was just meant to illustrate the Murdoch papers’ rank hypocrisy in their beat-up around her remarks.
Half the independents got in on a campaign that they would basically be Liberals except giving a shit about climate change, so we shouldn’t really be surprised. Allegra Spender was out there the other day calling the uni encampments anti-semitic 🙄
People have already given direct answers, and the indirect answer of ‘set up regular automated backups’ (which everyone should set up right now if they haven’t already), but for the sake of throwing another option out there, people could take a look at ‘trash-cli’: https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli
(P.S. I know OP might not have actually deleted the files with ‘rm’, but this addresses a broadly similar issue.)
I think it’s worth emphasising here: Don’t put it off!
There are millions who can tell you from experience that good intentions count for nothing when it comes to backups.
I’d recommend going and setting up Timeshift right now: https://github.com/linuxmint/timeshift
It’s easy to set up, it takes literally 10 minutes, and if you decide later you want to use something else, you can just uninstall Timeshift and delete its backups. But in the meantime you’ll be protected with backups.
It’s literally the first thing I install on a new system and it’s saved me multiple times from having to do a complete reinstall.
UPDATE
In case anyone was wondering, students voted to move the location of the encampment so that ANU management can’t use the emergency assembly point thing as an excuse to break up the encampment anymore. Post about it here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C7fgCS8Ph-o/
Students are calling on community members to help defend the encampment from police at 10:30am tomorrow (Tues 28th May): https://www.instagram.com/p/C7di8UwBpyb/
Is that unusual?

I hope they never stop using that picture of the time this idiot turned up wearing the shop uniform. Him and his PR advisors should never live it down 😆

It’s a 6-month ban, mate. I think you’ll be fine.
