    Society/Culture Reproductive Rights: Roe vs Wade, abortion, etc

    The law from Mississippi that is at the heart of the case before the Supreme Court has no exceptions for pregnancies caused by rape or incest. So you can draw your own conclusions from that about your question.

    Religion Folau

    Under the US free speech laws, employers have the right to curtail their employees' speech pursuant to their employment contracts. At least, that was what I understand based on the conservative commentators criticising black NFL players kneeling for the US national anthem before NFL games start.

    Jessica Biel meets with well-known anti-vaxxer Robert F. Kennedy to lobby against a proposed law in California that would limit exceptions to child vaccination in the State - denies she's an anti-vaxxer. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/06/13/entertainment/jessica-biel-vaccines/index.html...

    Science/Environment Anti-vacc Crazies at it again. Post appropriate outrage ITT

    Which then becomes problematic as less and less people vaccinate themselves and their children. I believe the golden number to ensure herd immunity is 95% of the population needs to be populated. There are areas in Melbourne where the vaccination rate is under 90% and falling. Alarming stuff.

    Perhaps he can play some mixed netball with his wife, who stood by her man and supported his comments on social media. I haven't seen anything about what the Silver Ferns might have to say about that.

    Google has never properly managed YouTube. They're hideously slow when it comes to responding to these types of issues.

    Celebrity chef, w***er and all round idiot Pete Evans endorsed a podcast made by a well-known anti-vaxxer, just months after having a cookbook pulled from distribution after it was found that his bone broth for infants was potentially lethal to babies...

    Society/Culture Telstra and other telecommunication monopolies

    Trujillo did ensure that Telstra invested significantly in its mobile network to make it the envy of the market in Australia. A lot of Telstra's subsequent growth under Thodey was as a result of Trujillo directing Telstra's investment into the mobile telephony market. A combination of Trujillo's...

    Might be an idea to shift this into the Crime board given the coppers have publicly stated it was not a terrorist incident.

    It looked to me as though they were heading into a store next door to the 7-11 where the CCTV was located. If it's the 7-11 I think it is, the next store's entrance is right next to the 7-11's entrance.

    That CCTV footage of pedestrians fleeing the car on Bourke Street Mall is frightening.

    Yeah, saw it and tweeted a reply to it. He probably thinks that he's justified in the reaction to his tweet on the basis that any publicity is good publicity.

    The Law Terror Threat in Melbourne averted.

    My first day back at work and I was going to go down at lunchtime to Bourke Street Mall to check out DJs and Myer before their sales ended. Breathing a sigh of relief that I didn't end up going. RIP the victims (especially the child) and sympathies to their families.

    It's amazing to think that someone like Leyonhjelm is in Parliament. In his unwavering commitment to his ideology, concepts such as empathy and compassion are overlooked and ignored.

    How much should we bet that the reporter did not bother to verify whether other witnesses heard the driver say the same thing before she rushed to her phone to post this tweet?

    A DDoS attack is designed to flood a website with so much traffic that its servers can't handle the traffic and they overload and crash. It's quite common for hackers to infect computers with malware that slave the computers together to launch a coordinated DDoS attack on a target and...

    Privacy laws make it difficult for government agencies and departments to share such information between them. It's often an issue when one government agency knows or suspects that a child is at risk but can't disclose that information to another agency (eg., the police) due to privacy restrictions.
