This is a dude that was too embarrassing even for the Liberal Party in Australia.

In 2009, the Liberal Party of Australia threatened to suspend Adams from the party for six months for conduct deemed likely to "embarrass or cause damage to" the party during an altercation with Brett Mason, a journalist for Channel Ten. Mason was filming a report on Adams' absences from the council due to overseas travel when Adams confronted him, stating, "I would just like to say that Brett Mason is a [expletive] good-for-nothing [expletive]. Thank you." However, Adams claims he resigned from the party before he could be suspended. Adams resigned from Australian politics in 2012.

This bit is comedy gold.

In 2005, as Deputy Mayor, Adams put forward a motion to ban pigeons from the Municipality of Ashfield due to fears of the bird flu, but failed to explain how this plan would be implemented.

I'm still not sure if it's all just an act, like a right-wing-nutjob version of Nathan Feilder. He's kinda fascinating, honestly, in a trainwreck kind of way.

I'm guessing by that they she means 'rich people'.

Um... yes?

It's almost like it was poorly thought out and rushed through with little concern for the logistics of it.

That said, the Queensland digital i.d. also has a pretty straightforward verification app as well, and you can verify age with no personal identifiers other than a photo. Not sure about the other states and territories, but it's really not that onerous unless your one of those sovereign citizen nutters.

'Complicated' is certainly one way to put it.

How Sweet To Be An Idiot

I didn't say it was logical. That's how the mods interpreted it when I made a similar joking reference to punching some nazis that got me permanently banned.

Prior to that, they also gave me a temporary ban for 'misogyny' when I described a woman physically assaulting a much larger man who, in self defence, shoved her away from him causing her to fall on her arse, as 'a win for gender equality'. :)

Patrick H Willems, particularly his 'Star Wars Christmas Special', is the reason I signed up to Nebula. He's decidedly non-political.

Ah yes. "Inciting violence" is apparently the worst possible thing you can say on reddit, regardless of context.

It's scary, but it's alright. Everything is finite.

Even the ones with digital watches.

You don't negotiate with terrorists.
