DayZ Banned in Australia for weed

Obviously

Anglo genetics

It maintains 6k players through out the week, just came out officially on consoles too

As the person who made those posts, it's not relevant here, because this is just a case of the board's hard line against drugs in games which is what most games have gotten refused for over the years. Also the process has changed since then, but I'm not privy to the details of how it works now.

THere's a blanket ban on drug-use in games, it's why they had to change the names of stuff in Fallout 3.

Australia's videogame policy of the highest rating being 15+ has been a laughing stock for years

GIVE ME A REFUND REEEEEEEE

It's also not been the case for years. We've had an R18+ since halfway through the PS360 era.

Isn't that way that submissions work as detailed there, the exact way the ESRB rates games too?

it's the principle of it that's important, ceaseless moral faggotry by our government has to stop and it's worth protesting.

wouldn't have ruined the nbn
woudn't have subsidised fossil fuel
wouldn't have made brain drain worse
wouldn't have let the multi-nationals and uber wealthy pay no tax
doesn't want to destroy medicare
doesn't want to destroy the PBS
doesn't want to privatise the ABC and SBS

Like I get where you're coming from and I agree but the "bans" are just so laughable because they're hardly ever enforced and nobody ever cares. Like they slap the ban stamp on it and don't bother to monitor anything.

It is kinda weird that they finally put a 18+ rating but just refuses to use it. And it doesn't even really stop aussies from getting it, they can still buy it digitally, they just can't buy it in brick and motar stores right?

Boomers need to be banned from politics.

you mean full of children

Dude of all the retarded shit our government is doing right now this is probably the furthest from mattering.

And it didn't lead to any less banning, it just means games that would once have been ma are now r

It's a kart on something. A "carton" of something, most likely alcohol of sorts. That's as much as I can explain since I don't quite get what the fuck it's doing since I can't think of a brand of beer that rhymes with anything going on in that last picture.

>thinking politics is a simple process
No wonder the government treats you like children.

I never implied specifically dayz being banned is the most important thing to complain about in regards to the government, but I hope you realise it's possible to disagree and protest multiple things at once.

>Gun violence?
Completely fine.
>Sexual content?
Completely fine.
>Recreational drugs?
YEA, BAN EM

Problem is the location of the classification board offices is not public information, only some secondary office is.

Their society has still standards. Good on them.

>wouldn't have ruined the nbn
I don't give a fuck about politics and this still pisses me off that a bunch of retards were allowed any say on this. The majority voting probably didn't even know what it was. NBN is finally Soon for me at least, even though it said October last year.

Drugs should be banned. I believe all dealers should be publicly and painfully executed and all users publicly shamed before being given lengthy prison sentences.
But I can make a clear differentiation between media and reality.

No wonder the Aussies shitpost so much. They can't otherwise spend their time playing video games because they're all banned.

Pretty based response.

How is this news? Australia has been banning and censoring games for retarded reasons since video games were merely theorized.

>being an irl janny
bet you'd do it for free too lmao cuck

What the fuck do you call it

I'm only 23

I don't know how the ESRB operates but I think the fee for them was significantly lower. With the Australian board the fee used to be $2500 for the application and $5000 for any appeal.

>browsing 4channel after the age of 22

My friend told me that Australia is basically a country where women got their way.

>politics is complicated!
>that's why I keep voting for the party which has been objectively terrible for the country for the last six years

Can't even buy some of the games either since it's almost a third of a weekly minimum wage paycheck for some basic entry casual jobs if you're like a young adult.

banning dayz in 2019 is like fighting a zombie apocalypse

Isn't that South Korea? They even managed to fucking ban porn

Maybe.
But the cost of getting an appeal for the ESRB is worth taking the hit for, considering America has ten times as many people in it

I'm not sure, he's Australian and just tells me about his country being dumb a lot.

The problem in the long run though is when companies decide they need to get around the Australian board, which typically means an excuse for censorship from NISA or Atlus because the idea of making separate versions for separate markets is alien to them.

Your friend is an idiot

I mean, it sure beats banning Tetris because of the second amendment.

Someone just needs to drive around tossing molotov cocktails out the window of their car at random.

>Reeeee the government isnt doing what in want
>we need to live in a authoritarian government where i decide for everyone

This is what you sound like

It's funny how Australians live in a country where everything is deadly and the only inhabitable areas are within 10 miles of the coastline but instead of becoming tough and manly they're all pants-pissing pussies who think video games will turn them into demons.

People still play DayZ?

Reduced alcoholism but boosted organised crime significantly

>$89 AUD
user please, that's cheaper than the game is for the yanks at $60 USD, because their price doesn't include the 10% sales tax whereas ours does. You're paying $7 less thank the yanks are after conversion, and our minimum wage is significantly higher. Please stop making us look stupid.

I mean in video games you dense spastics. no shit it's illegal here, but to focus specifically on one thing is just silly.

Keep flipping the coin every 3 years cunts I'm sure you'll get a different result soon!

Australia is a shit country with even shittier people in habbiting it.

I believe the person behind those bans got overthrown after it came to light she was part of a cult

Are you missing the part where to get the complete game you actually have to get the SEASON PASS which costs MORE THAN THE GAME ITSELF?

Do you think it's not the same for Americans? Because it is.

Minimum wage is higher but you're losing about $200 of those wages after tax from an average 9-5 job for 5 days so your average wage of about $800 is really $600. Then you compound this with electricity, gas, other bills and petrol prices and you're left with fuck all and suddenly that game which to get the complete entirety of needs the SEASON PASS as well for a whopping combined $200 approximately in costs. The "game" may as well just be a paid demo.

>The "game" may as well just be a paid demo.
Except the only things in DOA6's season pass are costumes and two characters from a roster of 28. I agree that KT's bullshit is overpriced (and I hate them in particular for their involvement in pulling this shit with Gust after acquiring them) but you're not making a strong argument by making shit up about the content on offer and KT's shit being overpriced isn't a matter of regional price gouging.

No but you should probably decriminalise certain things like marijuana and other drugs and have government control of the supply to actually weaken criminal elements from influencing politics and government politics in general and thereby reduce further burden on the health system as well.

actually what funny is about this is these people laughing at Australia doing this in the west are still OK to censor sexually uncomfortable things by making up the reasons to censor them and insisting both are different when actually in different political contexts, both violent things and sexual things can be equally the subjects to be censored. America is just a tolerated area toward violence, but that is a historically particular product conditioned by various premises only found in america. people should be aware of this stupid hypocritical anti-censorship movement.

Nah i'm like from somewhere else. I'm not stockpiling baby formula, i'm stockpiling cheese and video games.

Australia is a joke and no one will ever respect for you.

nah you don't need to the state having a financial incentive to hook citizens on drugs to generate revenue

>EU
lmao cope.

Dude that was just the LAUNCH game pricing, the image isn't even taking into account the other season passes. The pricing is still absurd now especially with the mountains of DLC and fighters locked behind DLC paywalls as well. Pretty sure the current DLC suite for DOA6 is in the thousands of dollars range now.

It has been successful in other nations.

Yes, and? KT's DLC bullshit is retarded and overpriced, we are in agreement. But it's still not a matter of regional price gouging which I just said and you ignored. As far as prices of our goods go compared to other regions we're in a better place than we've ever been and on Steam in particular the currency change has turned out to be great for us in almost all cases, as opposed to ten years ago where Modern Warfare 2 came out and it cost $60 USD for America and $99 USD for Australia. And that was the standard for years with companies like 2k and Activision.

How has that ever worked? Most organizations will just find more people to deal drugs and take their place. You know why people deal drugs right? Because it's lucrative money and/or they're desperate enough to do it without taking the conseuqences into consideration. If you legalize and regulate the market you eliminate a HUGE reason for people to deal drugs in the first place.

It very much is, if you think regional price gouging doesn't exist in Australia then you are very ill informed and uneducated on the practice that goes on here in relation to pricing with digital goods.

speaking of successful countries, singapore beats and hangs drug dealers

Weed is illegal in my country, but I can go outside and buy a ton without any complication.

That costs a tremendous amount of resources in both manpower and funding. Better to just bankrupt the dealers and put them out of business and never have to deal with them again.

I would care but its an absolutely garbage game so I dont

or i can just kill all of your drug dealers
i'm not going to miss your opiate dealers, lad.

Literally a feminist cult, yes. This was not reported in the media.

nah replacing one drug dealer with another drug dealer is not welfare enhancing

Yeah I know but Singapore had no other alternative given their land size and available arable land and the situation was drastic at the time. This is a nation where the amount of goods changing at port is tremendously frequent and high.

not seeing your point.

Let me put it to you, is it better to line the pockets of corporations who spend nothing on infrastructure or education or to better line the pockets of government where the funding could be better spent in these areas?

Australia is white man "china"

oh golly how was this even a choice. i better line the pockets of the state, so it can do incredibly useful things like give itself generous compensation and invade foreign lands.

That's new Zealand

The point is places like the US, Aus, Canada, UK where you could for instance decriminalise marijuana would reduce the burden on police, hospitals, prisons and social security in these areas and at the same time reduce criminal elements from making a profit and the government could grow their own supply to use for both medical and recreational use since they have plenty of arable land to use for these crops. Singapore does not have this avenue available to them since it's practically importing most of its food and raw materials, there's very little room for raw material production.

his point is that singapore's drug problems is not the same as America or Australias, in fact it was more drastic than either country has ever seen, and their land per person space as well as their extremely important trade ports are far more limited. The need to keep those trade ports safer is very different.

It's not the state, it's all of government in general. Also stop electing corrupt officials if that's your problem.

The porn ban still applies, I think.

Now I feel guilty about not watching any Kamen Rider like I've been meaning to.

I thought it was reported in the media? Like at least from other news outlets worldwide.

that's because instead of rating something R18+ and then having parents buy it for their 5 year old kids because they are dumb fucks, the board just refuses classification so the rating never gets used and da chidren is safe.

The whole system is corrupt.

who is talking about marijuana? i can't say i have deep concerns about the human cost of potheads in my country. stick a brick of it in your anus if that's what interests you. when i get 60k marijuana deaths per year, maybe i'll consider it a big problem.

How do you not see yourself as more sad and pathetic than even those stoner idiots?

You know we have functions in place to deal with corruption right? We just need the political will to do it, people going "durr the whole system is corrupt" isn't gonna fix anything.

Well RIP user, i can't help you there.

Blanket statements like this are retarded. What about medicinal drugs? Should everyone who takes a tiny bit of alcohol or marijuana be publicly humiliated and then locked up for 20 years?

Issues like this are always complex and responses/solutions to these issues should be nuanced.

Because the vast majority of drug related offences are marijuana related which in turn lead to an overcrowding of prisons causing a further burden on the system process as a whole. It's not about number of deaths but rather how much financial strain and other resources its costing as a whole in both short term and long term.

You think politicians actually follow the law at this point? They changed our constitution because they were at risk of losing their jobs.
The systems you talk about are run by the same people who are corrupt.

""""""""Medicinal""""""""" marijuana is a croak and it's just people who want to get high because they have """""""glaucoma"""""""

Are you a doctor? Do you have any kind of expertise on this matter at all? What's your stance on alcohol being legal?

Allowing prostitution has been successful in other nations yes
Anybody who thinks the same is true of drugs is retarded

Do it dude, if you don't you will end up regreting it when the presence of weedsters fucks you over

What about the successes in other countries for legalization

A lot of things get "reported" but only to a bare minimun so they can say they were
A good example is the kyoani fire where news coverage was limited because it contridicted anti gun naratives

australian shitposter cant stop shitposting

Hasn't happened except in the minds of deluded fools

And yet other countries have had success in decriminalising or even legalising certain other drugs. Marijuana of all the things should be safe to decriminalise and even legalize.

You don't want it, it's worse than my former cable.

What exactly happened with NBN? I wasn't following it closely but it seems like it's been an issue for way longer than I thought it would take to get implemented.

I don't have a minimum wage job user, I actually earn far more than that but i'm aware of the plight of people who do. I don't think you are aware of how much everything costs in general around here if you think $600(after tax) is enough so you're not earning $800 at all.

What you see on paper and what the reality is are two different things. For instance the majority of the laws in Australia and NZ tend to favour the consumer than the corporation. For example you have a consumer guarantee in law for the products and services you pay for where a product is guaranteed to work for at least 5 years upon purchase date. If the product has a failure then you bring it back to the store upon which they will either fix or replace the product with the same type or similar product or give you a full refund, you don't get to choose which of these you want though since it's discretion of the retailer or manufacturer but in most cases they just replace or refund. Same applies to services where say you got an AC installed you would have a 5 year installer warranty guarantee AND a 5 year manufacturer warranty so no matter where the fault is you're entitled to a working product you pay for.

>27th Jul
Nice cherry picking bro you fucking insipid shitcunt.

DOA 6 was released on the 1st of March. The dollar was not even close to the current rate as it is now, it was actually even better and still cost as much. Current trading of the AUD yesterday was around 0.66 USD compared to the 0.77 USD it was in late Jan/Feb/March of that year because you know preorders are a thing. That add an extra approx $10 to the value of the cost and since market traders never trade at mid-market rates the dollar could be anywhere from 0.75 to 0.79 that day.

So what you think would have costed 137.17 after conversion would have actually costed about 155 approx give or take a few at the time during the months of January. So that $89 is the DISCOUNT price as well taken into account when the full game is actually $100 flat. So really if you want to compare it still costs significantly more for us in terms of USD.

Oh there's so much more I could write but really there's just not enough space.

The fact that this country even has a government ratings / censorship board just proves were a bunch of pussy faggot cunts.

Holy shit you're literally retarded, the 27 july price is just a comparison point on the chart, it's not the current exchange rate which is displayed and dated on the left.
>So what you think would have costed 137.17 after conversion would have actually costed about 155 approx give or take a few at the time during the months of January.
So we're getting an even better deal since we're paying $130 for it?
>So that $89 is the DISCOUNT price as well taken into account when the full game is actually $100 flat.
Why are you talking about the discounted price of the main game when I'm talking about the season pass, and why are you pretending that the main game isn't also discounted for both regions?
>So really if you want to compare it still costs significantly more for us in terms of USD.
No, it doesn't, you have failed to understand anything shown to you and failed to present any evidence to support this.

What civil rights are they taking the libs haven't already taken? Or have you not noticed the steady increase of the powers of law enforcement to burrow deep into your asshole while at the same time making it so their highly invasive powers don't apply to politicians?

"Refugees welcome" is the definition of short term thinking.
Once we start letting in the first wave of undocumented pretend refugees the rest will hear about it and the next wave will be 10x bigger, than 100x, then Australia will resemble London.
Gay rights are not civil rights; Shorten may love fags, but he hates freedom. Gay rights are nothing but a distraction from the civil liberties that actually matter, like freedom of speech, which Labor stole.

Shhhh. We need those laws to go after those crook construction unions, don't you know that they're the literal devil?

Mate do you live in Australia at all and are you aware of the term "Australia tax" in regards to digital goods pricing?

>Mate do you live in Australia at all and are you aware of the term "Australia tax" in regards to digital goods pricing?
Yes, I spent years bitching about it because we have a long history of being gouged on regional prices, particularly on Steam between 2008 and 2012 like I mentioned previously with Modern Warfare 2 as an example. Thankfully that rarely happens anymore.
>That's an instance of 1 singular game, we haven't even delved into the subject of other digital pricing goods like software that cost a significant amount more in Australia than anywhere else.
So basically you were completely wrong but now you want to focus on hypothetical other examples to deflect attention away from how fucking retarded you are. Yes there are still cases where we get screwed on pricing but we're in a better place now than we ever have historically been when it comes to digital regional pricing, and you just make everyone look stupid when you rant about shit like that DOA example where it's not even actually happening. I bet you can't even remember when N64 games cost $120 as the standard new release price.

>"Refugees welcome" is the definition of short term thinking.

No the short term thinking is that you want to screw over everyone because an issue that was exaggerated to you by the LNP. You think that the LNP aren't letting in refugees? They're trading refugees to the US and the US are sending central american refugees here and then Abbot sent 6 refugees to a country in SEA somewhere in Cambodia/Laos for 1 billion dollars per refugee and only two got sent but he still paid the guy 6 billion dollars. Gotta stop those boats though huh?

Letting fags marry is just a distraction so they can say "we care about your civil liberties!" all the while making gun control stricter by the day and making it illegal not to use xirone's "correct" pronouns.
Letting fags marry is the most inconsequential useless "right" even conceived.

Let's be real here, labor and the libs both want to restrict your freedom of speech just as much as the other.

The vote came and went a while ago you're sitting here clutching to it, seemingly unaware that the Federal Government are being run by the Coalition. How are you this one-eyed to the fact that both the Liberal, National and the Labour party have been in lock-step trying to fuck not merely your right to speak out but your literal privacy?

But here you are screaming about Immigrants and Gays, admitting it's a distraction and wholesale falling for it anyway.

When Modern Warfare 2 was released our dollar was almost on a 1:1 parity with the USD at the time which is why the gouging was worse and we didn't have regional pricing then. I know because Shogun 2 was $100 USD on the Aus Steam store despite being $60 USD in the US at that time too.

No i'm not wrong at all here and i'll go back it up with past financial data if I have to with regards to petrol and energy cost prices in relation at the time. We're not in a better place as it's still just as bad considering digital goods aren't getting cheaper, they've only increased especially as the markups are more than they should be even after currency conversions. Cost of living expenses has gone up significantly that we're still far worse off as we have LESS money to spend with than usual now.

Letting fags marry was an issue of constitutional right that was based on the high court decision that it found that there was no argument or clause in the constitution that forbid same sex marriage. It was nothing but an amendment to a law that for all intents and purposes already exists under Australia law based on defacto relationships and civil unions. The only difference is that by recognizing legal same sex marriages it significantly cuts down on bureacratic issues in case of splitting of assets and other legalities given by rights in marriages except now they don't have to wait 6+ months to sort shit out. Allowing the marriages to be recognized eliminated a shitload of fucking legal issues that used to clog up social services and courts.

now THIS is a desperate strawman

Yes, but when the dollar fell the practice still remained for years, and a lot of old games like that only had their prices updated with the changeover to AUD.

The ratings board doesn't set the classification rules. They just enforce them.

>as of yet
It won't be, they're abusing some loophole to separate the PC version which has been around for ages from this new rating which was for the console release.

The people on the board determine how it's enforced, the point of the board rules is that it's all about the opinion of the board members as to whether it's suitable for people to experience, so obviously a 60 year old conservative Christian woman is going to be more upset about seeing sex in a video game than a 20 year old guy, and only one of those is going to argue that it's too much for the public to bare and must be refused.

as with every other game that's banned in X country, if you've already bought it it'll still be in your library.
it just wont show up on the store, on search or be purchasable from an Australian IP address.
not that it matters anyway, like 90% of Yea Forums either already have DayZ Standalone or refunded it when it hit v1.0 full release like a year ago.

That's not what's going on here, the game is still available and for sale on Steam.

20 years ago petrol wasn't a dollar a litre yet? You really want to fight me on this one nigga, it was actually DOLLAR AND A HALF and that's just an estimated median which means the price could actually be significantly higher based on the day of the fucking week.

No, they follow the law. They don't just get to arbitrary hand out ratings on a whim. That's not an option for them. Parliament has decided on a series of very specific guidelines they have to follow. Even if you were right you're still a fucking retard because almost none of the ratings board members are "60 year old boomers".

Because all Ambulances are private so you get gouged on the cost.

Doesn't help that a shitload of hospital funding got cut as well but at least you didn't(shouldn't anyway) have to pay anything for your hospital stay.

That's state government crap. Federal government gives you free healthcare. State government should be giving free ambulance cover as that's their department but most of them don't.

Depends really.

I used it for years but after a point their prices just went up and up until they were either the same as or more expensive than buying locally so I stopped bothering with them. The three week shipping minimum is pretty shit too especially since they got rid of free shipping after a while.

Inflatable toys.

I remember buying State of Emergency off the shelf in EB Games when I was like 10.

I never found a replacement reliable retailer of cheap new releases. At least, not something that compared to what it used to be like. I suspect there was some sort of crackdown with the distributors to enforce regional pricing or at least to narrow the gap a bit. I do remember many years back one of the online stores brought in a price increase for importers and they said the reason why was because Take Two had contacted them and said they would cut them off if they didn't do it.

>Yes there is dumbfuck. Most developed countries so not mandate helmets on bikes for a reason. If I wish to take a risk, it's my own decision as an adult.
Sure, you can still make that decision if you like but you just have to pay a fine to do so. Helmets on bikes are a good reason because it's the difference between a fucking concussion and your brain matter splattering all over the fucking road. At least you'll live longer to post more retarded views if you wore a helmet.

>The guy is a fuckwit who talks tough but then has a big sook and cry when he's found to be in breach of certain laws, you're a fucking media personality you should know what these laws are.
Dude, Andrew Bolt is a dick but even the left wing ABC's Media Watch has defended him on this sort of stuff and they are all about shitting on Murdoch's press. It's wrongthink bullshit and nothing more.

Tough shit. They signed up for the job.
Mongoloid. I am aware that helmets can save lives, but as an adult it's my OWN decision whether or not to wear one. Most nations understand this, while yours doesn't.
>they don't fucking die instantly
Yet they still save money because they die earlier. Living to 90 is extremely costly in medical costs, and diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia cost far more than cancers from smoking.
If you truly wanted to save money on healthcare, you'd push for legalization of euthanasia. That way if I get lung cancer or a stroke, I can apply for an exit.
Wrong.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle_helmet_laws_by_country
Nations like Denmark and the Netherlands who live and breath biking don't mandate it.

>it's my inalienable right to traumatize emergency workers

I can get mandating helmets for children, but adults should weigh the risks and choose accordingly. Hell, I would be in favor of incentives to get people to wear helmets.

Optus blocked shit to. Sucks if I want to samefag my video game thread on mobile because Yea Forums doesn't reply.

Because our government parties are full of baby boomer moralfags.

>the hitting that age where you get the penalty for not having private cover

Fuck..

>MUH TRAUMA
Ban cars that can go above 100km an hour because speeding kills many. Ban human driven cars once self-driving ones become accessible to the public.
Ban motorcycles because they're just too dangerous.
Mandate that everyone who goes outside has to wear a helmet and padded clothing. After all, we don't want people slipping or tripping and breaking their skulls on the pavement.

Your nanny mentality could be taken to the extreme. Thank fucking god I don't live in your padded room of a nation. Not even Canada is this bad.

i would just harvest your organs and sell them to the chinese

>Mongoloid. I am aware that helmets can save lives, but as an adult it's my OWN decision whether or not to wear one. Most nations understand this, while yours doesn't.
Yet you understand that it saves lives and refuse to take simple measures to save your own life. I think the real mongoloid here is you. It's a simple matter of putting a cheap insulated covering around your head that in the case you don't die you aren't taking up ambulance and hospital time recovering long term from a head injury that could have easily been avoided.
>Yet they still save money because they die earlier. Living to 90 is extremely costly in medical costs, and diseases like Alzheimer's and dementia cost far more than cancers from smoking.
Fuck no dude, those machines they get hooked up on to breathe are limited in availability and expensive. Alzheimer's and Dementia medicines are nowhere close to the cost of the shit it takes to keep lung cancer patients alive from smoking.
>If you truly wanted to save money on healthcare, you'd push for legalization of euthanasia. That way if I get lung cancer or a stroke, I can apply for an exit.
This I agree on not only because it relieves burden on the health care system but also any way to end prolonged terminal suffering should be available to the person suffering.

Oh yeah I forgot about Optus too.

>Hell, I would be in favor of incentives to get people to wear helmets.
There is, it's called "don't be a dumb cunt and protect your head or we're going to fine you". The incentive is you get to live AND save some money.

>people dumping trolleys a brit/aussie thing
you're a retard

It's not that bad unless you're like a literal 50+ boomer dude. Even in my 30's it's not that much.

bcuz they gay

Forget the Chinese, sell them to Clive Palmer. I'm sure he could do with a nice meal and he'll pay anything to stick it to the Chinese.

That's not what "abandonware" means, doofus.

Ive never heard of anyone being fined for not wearing a helmet on a push bike and I see dozens riding around without them in the city every day.
I thought you meant motorcycles btw, in which case helmets should be mandatory unless you actually want to die in which case go ahead.

What is the difference between labor and liberal?

t. 27 and still can't tell.

Based Quentin poster.

They pander to different groups of the population. Thats about it.

>Go choke on a 12-gague, nigger.
You're an adult, ignorance isn't an excuse to not have basic life shit sorted.

>Thinking someone was seriously advocating for no helmets on a fucking motorcycle
Jesus christ what an idiot.

Go to /o/, they argue about it all the time.

>Yet you understand that it saves lives and refuse to take simple measures to save your own life. I think the real mongoloid here is you. It's a simple matter of putting a cheap insulated covering around your head that in the case you don't die you aren't taking up ambulance and hospital time recovering long term from a head injury that could have easily been avoided.
Because I'm an adult. If I wish to undertake an action that puts me and only myself at harm, I should be allowed to do so. "Muh healthcare" costs are bullshit. Why aren't you pushing for euthanasia to be legal? It would save a lot in terms of health costs. Your logic could be taken to ban virtually anything that poses a danger.
All you've convinced me is why universal healthcare is a shitty idea. It leads to a massive loss of negative liberties over faulty logic.

Oh look. You greatly underestimate how much medical expenses you rack up if you live to 90. Alzheimer's is the most costly disease to treat by far, look it up.

Motorycle helmets or bicycle helmets?

Labor panders to unions while liberals pander to employers in regards to economic policy. Apart from that there's no difference.

Labor are Diet Greens and Liberal are One Nation Lite.

libs are a collective corporate enterprise designed to sell off institutions and infrastructure built using taxpayer money to private interest for pennies
labor don't own the media so are an unsustainable government body

In a nutshell Labor is Centre Left and Liberal is Centre Right. USUALLY that is how it is in a basic nutshell though in recent case Shorten was actually more Right leaning and Turnbull was actually more Left leaning. There's a few different factions within the parties themselves as well that are either more left/central/right.

It gets even more confusing when you realise that the left leaning/wing party might employ what is considered actions that a right leaning/wing party might have done in power like when Paul Keating deregulated banks.

national drunk activity

What on earth gave you the idea labor doesn't privatise public assets?

Nobody I know who lives in Australia, or most countries, follows the law at all.
At this point laws only exist so old out-of-touch retards have an income, most are willfully unenforced and judges get to do whatever they want.
The only time laws work is when there's a gun right behind them, and eventually Australia is going to cross some line and cause some bogan to just obliterate every single level of government since none of them have any protection and live in shitty dinky houses in the burbs.

Motorcycle

What has Labor privatised?

>dyalexia
More likely english is not his first language and he used the sentence structure of his mother tongue like Yoda, you monolingual anglo cuck.

>You know, it really is fascinating that a dipshit like you can only name the only non-Jewish person media mogul
Because he's the one that owns most of the biggest Australian newspapers and Sky News, retard

>Because I'm an adult. If I wish to undertake an action that puts me and only myself at harm, I should be allowed to do so.
Problem is you're not actually harming just yourself, you can cause psychological harm to others if you fucking splatter your brain matter all over the road because you didn't want to wear a damn helmet. Your actions have an effect on others, it's not limited to just you. You splatter yourself over the road and you have to get a whole bunch of people out to cordon off the scene, investigate the accident, clean the accident site, notify next of kin and etc. There's a whole system of people you just pulled out because of your shitty decisions.
>"Muh healthcare" costs are bullshit. Why aren't you pushing for euthanasia to be legal? It would save a lot in terms of health costs. Your logic could be taken to ban virtually anything that poses a danger.
I fucking agreed with you on euthanasia to be legal.

You realise that article is taking into account TAX REVENUE of tobacco right as in both the sale AND growing of tobacco? Nobody fucking taxes Alzheimer's sufferers so of course they would seem more costly because they're not generating tax revenue for having Alzheimer's.

Well that's bloody retarded.

Because Keating was an economic fucking genius. That's all he cared about.
Thinking in terms of absolute "left-wing" or "right-wing" is stupid and is poison to democracy.

what are your thoughts on my throwing my shit on your road?

Just off the top of my head Optus, Qantas and the Commonwealth Bank were all privatised by labor. They've done lots of privatization over the years. Especially on the state levels. The notion they don't support privatization is just complete crap. They were also responsible for a lot of deregulation. They are not the democratic socialists they claim to be.

Our governments full of pussies

Oh I agree he was a genius, probably our best Treasurer and one of the most cunning and clever politician we ever had. I was just using it as an example that just goes to show that both the major parties in Australia will sometimes have an overlap in policies despite being considered "left or right" so to speak because for the most part they're generally quite centrist with slight leans left or right. Generally but not always.

The problem is you're still trying to fit them into their little boxes. What matters is the policies of the party at the moment. But no one bothers to look up the policies of any given party, because they just go
>oh well Party X is left wing and I'm left wing so I'll vote for them!

private prisons only have like 8% of the prison population, but statist retards always go on about it
people committing crimes get gun and drug possession charges in state prosecutions, because those are easy to prove. there's no argument over proving intend for these offenses. it's not because of private prisons.

You're right that the policies of the party at the moment are important and that's usually by the quality of the individuals in charge or in power but i'm only using the left/right descriptors based on their historical origins. That user said he had no idea on how to tell the difference between the two so I just wanted to give a basic rundown of the parties in general and the platforms and origins.

You against public healthcare in general or what? What the fuck is an ambulance ride any different?

>You know we have functions in place to deal with corruption right?
We haven't had that since 1996 when the populace collectively bent over and spread their cheeks.

No it's still a buggy, shitty mess and melee combat still feels like you're hitting the zombies with thin bamboo canes

>Optus, Qantas and the Commonwealth Bank were all privatised by labor
Shit why weren't they huge fuckups like Telstra was?

Keating privatised them because they were all failing, yes.

Yes always notify las enforcement of drug activity. I just found out last night that my long time friend, who has a young child mind you, has been using marijuana. It’s illegal here and I plan on submitting an anonymous tip on him to law enforcement tomorrow morning.

>he thinks privatising the ABC is a bad thing

At this point the ABC are just as much Liberal shills as all the commercial stations. Privatising it would just mean they could be more honest about it
