Given Simon is now on the NBN board you seem a little behind the news. Simon's smart but he is also a business man, out to make money now Internode is sold.

My guess is you have swallowed Rupert and Bolts propaganda very nicely. I'm well over 30, not far off double but there is no way on earth I would vote for Tony and the rightwing nutjobs. They are already behind in the polls, and have been utterly incompetent right from the start. Idiots like you a ruining our country. Luckily it looks like a rerun senate election will be needed in WA and should bring an end to Tonys senate majority, cant wait to see the liberal sycophants howl then.

There is nothing worse than Accurate well composed pseudo-scientific doublespeak.

I don't believe in nothing, I only believe evidence. To argue that not believing in religion is a belief itself is the kind of crazy thinking that typifies the religious, who in actual fact hold such beliefs to avoid facing their own irrelevance in cosmological terms.

Absolutely, the monarchy is much better than a US style president.

Exactly, as and Aus resident I often wonder how the US puts up with its diabolically hopeless banking system.

You don't have a left, you have far out loopy extreme right, (Fox news) and hard right (MSNBC).

In Australia we are under grounding more and more cables using horizontal drilling techniques which seem to work well.

So I hire people in countries that don't expect employees to be paid a decent wage.
FTFY

Slashdot, where you get the same news as Theregister, but a week later.

The Swedish already questioned and released the man, and continually state they want to question him, so what possible difference would it make where the questioning takes place? You dont need charges only an arrest warrant for extradition as clearly they already have such a warrant they used to get extradition so again what difference does it make?

Of course the real issue in Europe is they dont have heat waves often and so do not have airconditioning, unlike most hot parts of the US that do. It appears that there is no logical fallacy the blind opponents of public healthcare will not try and use. We have good health care here in Australia, and dont have the french doctors vacation system, which seems to be unique to france.

We have had a electronic ticketing system for public transport in South Australia for many years, the tickets are multi or single use, (with discount multitrip tickets available)and can be purchased anonymously with ease.
We have peak and of peak tickets, works great.

There are no rape charges, he is wanted for questioning, which already occurred whilst he was still in Sweden at the time the incidents occurred, then given permission to leave.
The questioning could occur at the Ecuador embassy anytime, Sweden chooses not to do so.

Those that don't believe the climate models use the same arguments as creationists, anti vaxxers and Birchers, no amount of reasonable discussion or facts make the slightest difference to those who deliberately propound ignorance.
