Not sure that Labor has come up with a plan, but there would be lots of modelling at the international and domestic level. iIRC, tobacco excise is now bringing in more than fuel excise.

You could see a situation not too far in the future, where fuel, tobacco and alcohol excises would be based on a reduced market.

I love the Witcher games and books. Hopeful if not quite optimistic about the forthcoming NetFlix series.

[Bacchusfox]

There is a plan Big A, but looking so far ahead for a budget is just not feasible.

[Bacchusfox]

You have no evidence that that is correct, just another of your conspiracy theories.

[Bacchusfox]

You watch too much TV. If Jules does get moved to USA, it will be a very public trial.

When saying that Ali France is using her disability as an excuse for not living in the electorate , Dutton remarks that there are a lot of people with a disability in Dickson. That should help one’s campaign in a marginal seat. Waiting for him to come out with comments on how well the NDIS is working.

They were dropped because Swedish authorities saw no path to bringing him to Sweden. The alleged victim has said she is looking to have the case taken up again, not sure if that is possible or not.

No. From John Pilger

For five weeks, Assange waited in Sweden for the renewed “rape investigation” to take its course. The Guardian was then on the brink of publishing the Iraq “War Logs”, based on WikiLeaks’ disclosures, which Assange was to oversee in London.

Finally, he was allowed to leave. As soon as he had left, Marianne Ny issued a European Arrest Warrant and an Interpol “red alert” normally used for terrorists and dangerous criminals.

Assange attended a police station in London, was duly arrested and spent ten days in Wandsworth Prison, in solitary confinement. Released on £340,000 bail, he was electronically tagged, required to report to police daily and placed under virtual house arrest while his case began its long journey to the Supreme Court.

He still had not been charged with any offence. His lawyers repeated his offer to be questioned in London, by video or personally, pointing out that Marianne Ny had given him permission to leave Sweden. They suggested a special facility at Scotland Yard commonly used by the Swedish and other European authorities for that purpose. She refused.

And the women

When she announced last week that she was dropping the Assange case, she made no mention of the evidence that would destroy it. One of the SMS messages makes clear that one of the women did not want any charges brought against Assange, “but the police were keen on getting a hold on him”. She was “shocked” when they arrested him because she only “wanted him to take [an HIV] test”. She “did not want to accuse JA of anything” and “it was the police who made up the charges”. In a witness statement, she is quoted as saying that she had been “railroaded by police and others around her”.

Neither woman claimed she had been raped. Indeed, both denied they were raped and one of them has since tweeted, “I have not been raped.” The women were manipulated by police - whatever their lawyers might say now. Certainly, they, too, are the victims of this sinister saga.

No evidence?

[Preliminary_Point2]

Did Manning have a very public trial?

[Bacchusfox]

John Pilger LOL

Watch this thread on twitter.

More ‘legal’ dodginess

[Bacchusfox]

Wot ? Manning was in the US Army and was court martialled in an Army Court with lots of reporters present. He (now she) pleaded guilty to most charges and was found innocent of others.

Jules if he gets to USA will be in an open civilian court.

I was surprised Manning was not shot at sunrise.

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

The only real charge on Assange, is that he aided and abetted / educated, Manning to break a password on a Classified server.

That is a clear crime in the US, as espionage, etc.

If he did it, and he’s done for it, he will be out of circulaton for quite a while.

[percebushby]

John Pilger LOL

I do get just a little bit tired of the Labor Right. They’re like Groupers with no group to run to any more, so they’re sticking around to fugg up real Labor again.

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

You would have thought they’d have sorted this out by now, and made it so you have 3 or 6 months or so to sort it out afterwards, IF you win the seat.

It’s pretty harsh to ask someone to renounce their dual Citizenship before they are actually elected IMO.

[BLOODSTAINED_DEVILS]

Keep digging Spud man. Just keep digging.

What a detestable turd he continues to prove himself.

Peter Dutton condemned for 'disability excuse' slur against Ali France

Third time this week i’ve agreed with @Bacchusfox.
