Fuuck yeah its AUSPOLLLL

Voted today.

Auspol... cringe.
Weakasfuckfaggots.

they should just kill all the refo scum on manus

The locals are trying their hardest kek

Who you vote for lad.

Fucking ashes collapse. Hopefully 1 man team smith can rescue the team again.

Cricket is gay.

I find the whole thing hilarious, they whinge about the conditions at the DC. Then they shut it down and they all want to go back inside it

Is Bancroft supposed to be elite?

...

fuck off faggot

With Adani trying to get its own dam and water supply with the people in Queensland paying for me its no wonder of the discontent.

...

Chink detected
Yeah because they know that they are not wanted anywhere.
Shit thread let it die.

also getting sick of people saying we should accept the NZ deal and send them there. They will just end up in Australia

They probably wont end up here, however it will signal to people smugglers that NZ is open for business.

I only had 4 choices I did

1. One Nation
2. LNP
3. Labor
4. Greens

Voted independent in a brand new electorate!

Prefer computer games, and soccer, like chinks do, so yeah, I guess I'm a gook.

Cucks hide behind cricket whilst their country is sold out from underneath them. Then they get smashed around by the likes of Sachin Tendulka.

Yeah fuck that. I am actually glad that Malcolm is showing that he has got some balls on this one. Its about time.

(Unrelated) I am extremely saddened that Australia has distanced itself so far from the commonwealth. I think it sucks. I would like to see one of these parties say that they are going to bring us closer to the commonwealth again, (Not necessarily letting in more indians but just strengthening ties with England and NZ etc) the ANZAC spirit is almost forgotten because we have just been sucking that much American dick.

You really want to be closer to England right now?

yeah someone in Parliament should of said that this fucking citizen ship stuff is a witch hunt. They are all members of the commonwealth. Yeah they are dumb for not knowing they should renounce it before running. They say nothing about fucking jew MP's who can just run off to Israel whenever they like it because all jews are welcome there

The commonwealth can't protect us from China, only big daddy Trump can.

they already know that but it's harder to get a shit leaky boat to NZ then to Australia

Yeah kinda. With a non-retarded politician their retarded policies shouldn't effect us. And they can keep their pakis.
I have nothing against the citizenship thing. It shows that we don't have enough real Australians in our own fucking parliament which is pretty piss poor.
I don't even know if he can. I think we need to save ourselves.

>I don't even know if he can. I think we need to save ourselves.

We probably do, and should protect ourselves.

We should make nukes. We could make literally one million nukes without any resources from anyone. We've got enough metal and uranium for a billion years.

All these Strayans and no bantz? The fuck is going on?

hey seppo what is aleppo?

We probably will end up with nuclear weapons, the recent space program we started (cover for ICBM's), and the government potentially eyeing a site for a nuclear reactor, also last year we refused to sign some U.N nuclear weapons treaty.

seriously the U.N. needs to fuck off

Yeah they're cunts.

We are a bit worried about the yellow menace.
Does the U.N actually do anything except harass Japan about their Hentai/Weeb shit?

I used to think they did productive things but after looking through some of their stuff they come across as a bit of a joke.

...

to me it just seems like a place for third world faggots to act like someone cares about their shit country. while China, Russia, USA, UK and France pull all the strings because they are permanent members of the security council

do we really want australians to be in charge of a reactor, let alone nukes?

mate Indian and Pakistan have nukes I think if we have them we will be alright

We already have a nuclear reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney, it's only a research reactor that produces stuff for x-ray machines and other nuclear experiments.

It's actually world class.

Like we give a fuck what the U.N thinks we constantly violate international law with our refugee processing. The thing is, the u.n can do absolute fuck all when your a first tier country with friends.

let's throw Turnbull and Shorten into it and see if they mutate into a competent leader

that's why I said they can fuck off, we give them money. They can fuck right off and then we don't give money to niggers

it is not pressurized or working at any real power.
the only way it could pull a chernobyl is if some dumb cunt forgot about it for a month and let all the cooling water evaporate.
and i honestly worry about that sometimes.

Was he right?

you should worry about dying in a car accident you fucking sperg

>It's actually world class.
One of the best in the world and it's design opened the door to using less enriched Uranium as a power source.
It's a pity we never used the success from Lucas Heights to make a nuclear power generator. We're one of the best nations for it but also one of the most opposed to it for some reason.

who else is hearing this thunder in melbourne.

Yeah weve got plenty of smart cunts.

I think the UN should just be a security council really. I don't see why they need to interfere with stuff like Japanese hentai and shit like that, its not their business.

Although they are responsible for putting restrictions on NK aren't they? If so, that should still be up to each individual country anyway...

The yank ego is the worst on the planet and that's why I love the 56% meme so much. There was some bitch seppo calling it a psyop on here earlier today.

that's why they are redundant, China has been selling shit to NK for years and anyone who is a dullard knows it

*isn't a dullard

sounds like a melbourne mudslime or sydney shitskin trying to turn us against our greatest allies.

Maybe our 2nd biggest threat.
Yeah, thats what I thought. So apart from failing to enforce trade/arms restrictions and hassle Japs for their porn do they do anything?

The ONLY thing that I can see the UN being useful for is the security council. But what does that even do? Is that the council that decides "Don't sell guns to this country" Because if it is, its pretty fucking useless.

Because we're living on literal mountains of coal. What's the fucking point on spending billions on reactors when we can just do it the old fashioned way?

Also it's way cheaper to export uranium, plutonium etc whereas coal is bulky and better off used here before selling off the excess.

Also whats the space program called? Is it just more telescopes or are we launching rockets now?

Exactly the same here

>> election day tomorrow
> fuckdate tonight
> date on Sunday night
Busy weekend for me, lads.

Phone keeps ringing playing shitty Labor ads talking about asset sell off and muh barrier Reef.

The UN has a couple of functions
1. the security council
2. coordinating international governments and agencies for sustained relief efforts
3. providing international public goods (theoretically - in reality this falls to the U.S. to do, because nobody funds the UN enough to achieve this because if you had enough money to pay the UN to fund international public goods why wouldn't you just fund them yourself and then you'd have both control over the provision of the international public good too. this is a result of the lopsided contribution to the UN: rather than everyone paying a little the West pays nearly everything)\
4. international professional bodies which provide guidance to industry to decrease inefficiency caused by, for example, lack of standardisation
5. international medicine
6. promoting liberal democratic values and a rules-based international order by creating and reinforcing the norms of global government that we've come to expect
7. (emerging function) responding to non-traditional security threats like climate change and international terrorism

The UN is a work in progress. People look at it and ask why it's not working. The answer is because it's not finished yet. It probably never will be. The current international order took 4 centuries to evolve. I expect that global governance will take longer.

we gotta invest in renewable shit tho too. Coal is a cheap and nasty source of power.

It's too hard to tell what the world would be like without the yanks fucking everyone's shit up. You'd have to go back to 1950 or so and see what would happen with them being insular.

Nah I travel states at least once a year, white americans are pretty fucking based bro's.

(For the only actual military threat) We could easily sink the indonesian navy and keep them from landing and then blockade their ports but doesn't mean I don't want to see 3 USS aircraft carriers lending a hand if shit hit the fan.

lol, my old weed dealer worked at lucas heights. Smart guy, massive pothead though

my point is proven cunt:

Emus will have the button tho

#wornout

>1. the security council
Cool excellent
>2. coordinating international governments and agencies for sustained relief efforts
Yeah alright
>3. providing international public goods (theoretically - in reality this falls to the U.S. to do, because nobody funds the UN enough to achieve this because if you had enough money to pay the UN to fund international public goods why wouldn't you just fund them yourself and then you'd have both control over the provision of the international public good too. this is a result of the lopsided contribution to the UN: rather than everyone paying a little the West pays nearly everything)
Not really cool.
>4. international professional bodies which provide guidance to industry to decrease inefficiency caused by, for example, lack of standardisation
ehhhhh. Not really this is sounding more like a government.
>5. international medicine
Bit vague to comment
>6. promoting liberal democratic values and a rules-based international order by creating and reinforcing the norms of global government that we've come to expect
This is absolutely wrong. Not that I don't agree with liberal democracies, but that it will almost certainly lead to a gross misuse of power like the EU has with Poland.
>7. (emerging function) responding to non-traditional security threats like climate change and international terrorism
This should more be each individual country.

>60+ replies
>no one has asked
What's for dinner lads

You realize that the indos have a space program right? So we can assume that they have some form of icbm

I've been awake for four days.

Plz help.

Either we reap the benefits in Australia or its sold to China and they burn it instead. Do you suggest we just stop mining coal?

I hope Pauline's power grows after this election, they're such a pack of shitheads here is Queensland, they all deserve to be booted out.

Chinese.

>international public goods
>Not really cool.
Why?

>international professional bodies providing guidance
>sounding more like a government
Nobody is required to obey the UN dictates. They're guidance - not laws. But people do obey them because they're good ideas that make life better for everyone, and paranoia won't change that.

>international medicine
I mean things like combating Ebola and the plague, as well as taking a global and holistic view of medicine to address things like the over-prescription of antibacterials which can really only be tackled at a global level. Epidemic monitoring and quarantine would also fall here - though obviously the UN needs permission of the states involved without a Chapter VII resolution from the security council.

>promoting liberal democracy and rules-based orders
>this is wrong
The alternative is not doing it, and having an international order that is not liberal or democratic and that is not rules-based. You choose. (The choice is obvious).

>non-traditional security
>This should more be each individual country.
The problem is that it can't be handled by individual countries, which is why the UN is taking on a more active role.

You seem paranoid about UN scope creep turning it into a shadow global government. That's not going to happen. The UN has no authority to act inside the territory of sovereign states without their permission, and sovereign states will never consent to their rights being curtailed. Ironically people criticise the UN on one hand for being weak and useless and on the other hand for being too invasive. The solution to UN weakness is mandatory contributions from member states, a UN army, and authority to act without the consent of the state where the activity is happening..

Basically, laypeople have no idea why the UN exists or what they want it to do, so they make contradictory demands and complain when the impossible isn't achieved.

>hung parliament with pauline holding the balance
Mistakes into miracles :))).

Spunky australian men with bums and willys

eventually. Once we can support our own power grids without it. We can still dig it up and sell it to others, but not use it, like they do in norway with the oil reserves they have

Evening lads

And how exactly would this solve anything? It's just getting burned in a different place, and we're stuck scratching out heads figuring out how to power our air cons.

Apparently there's blackouts in the Adelaide CBD. Any cunts on scene?

gets

>And how exactly would this solve anything?
It would ween aus off of fossil fuels

> It's just getting burned in a different place
Yeah well they'll buy it from another country then if we dont sell it, at least we can make money to put into renewables

> and we're stuck scratching out heads figuring out how to power our air cons
Renewables dipshit. Its free fuckin power once you get things up and running. So you need to invest in it. Basically turning coal mining from a mainstay of the power grid into a purely for profit thing. And making aus greener and more sustainable at the same time

>Nobody is required to obey the UN dictates. They're guidance - not laws.
Then whats the point?
>The alternative is not doing it, and having an international order that is not liberal or democratic and that is not rules-based. You choose. (The choice is obvious).
Each country should be free to make their own decisions on how they want to run their own country free from harassment. What is happening to Poland is wrong, and by what you are describing the UN would attempt something similar in up and coming countries.
>The problem is that it can't be handled by individual countries, which is why the UN is taking on a more active role.
This makes little sense, individual countries can combat terrorism. And global warming again, should come down to the individual countries assessing the scientists. The only way I can agree on the UN having sway here, is if they cannot actually legally do anything to force the countries hand and act more in a scientific role.

>You seem paranoid about UN scope creep turning it into a shadow global government.
Kinda. I hate what the EU does to Poland and was doing to Hungary. It is disgusting. If the UN was to ever turn like that it would be disgraceful. I do like the idea of a security council etc. but the UN should never be able to enforce law (Which you specify it cannot, for the moment, unless given permission).

fuckin blackouts fucking with my internet

WHO'S PUMPED FOR SOME FUCKEN RUGBY LEAGUE CUNT?

storms fuckin shit up

Only watch real sports here mate.

Yeah Im gonna have some chinese. Got some nice Szechuan Steak and Honey chicken left over from last night.

Chicken and vege stirfry.
Comfy woolies brand peppermint cornettos for desert.
Gonna introduce the kids to Jay and Silent Bob tonight.
Sholud I start with Clerks/Mallrats or just go for gold?

you should have gone to coles, the original cornettos are half price now.

Why do so many Aussies have Thai wives?

Is that due to the Streets strike? Thats such bullshit those Streets workers were getting paid $42 p/h and the greedy union was complaining about getting their rate brought back to normal levels.
I haven't noticed Thai, I've noticed Chinese and Vietnamese.

dumb aussies are low hanging fruit

A family friend is like 60ish just got married to a 30ish year old Vietnamese woman who can't speak English.

what a cuck
