That's nice, but how does that help people who, to this day, can't get any 'NBN' other than satellite?

By that token, I would also recommend the one-season X-Files spin-off 'The Lone Gunmen'. It can come across as a bit hokey for the first few episodes, but they found their pace and it became really enjoyable. I don't think it was ever meant to be more than a single - and, by then-current standards, short - season but I really enjoyed it. The show blended the comic relief of the three geeks from the main series with some more serious storytelling and even had an episode with a plot that resembled a later real-life world-changing event.

Devil's advocacy is supposed to be, ultimately, constructive to the discussion. If that's what you're doing, then good on you. A lot of people just do it to throw a spanner in the works.

The only thing worse than people misusing the term 'enshittification' are people who criticise that but can't be bothered to get their facts straight.

No, it's not a meaningless buzzword. And no, it was not made up by nostalgic millennials. It would have taken you a mere minute of online research to figure that out yourself.

'Playing Devil's advocate'.

Mostly because most people who use it do so in glaringly wrong ways.

I suggest you read up a bit on how and by whom the term was coined and what it actually means. It's by no means 'vague' and it is also a bit more than just repackaging and selling something already known. I suspect many people using the term aren't even fully aware of what it describes and, crucially, what is being proposed to reduce the effects it describes.

Because he has no plan to address the causes of crime, only a plan for harsher punishments. So he has no realistic way of reducing victim numbers.

No surprises here.

It still means that fewer young people commit crimes than what used to be the case. It's not like people stopped having children. And if the youths who used to commit crimes are now adults who commit crimes, they no longer class as youth crimes.

If the Libs win, I hope they go full Newman again and get kicked out after one term. I'm not exactly enamoured with QLD Labor but bloody hell anything is better than the toxic Libs in this state.

If only you could see the 'newspapers' in Queensland, every other front page has 'young crims' scaremongering and they make it sound like Townsville and such are hellholes where people are terrorised by young criminals day and night without reprieve.

Weird how the LNP's only answer to this is 'adult crime, adult time'. Like, literally, zero policies on how to prevent youth crime, how to help children with better education and more perspectives for their future. Nothing. Just harsher punishments.

If a woman seeks abortion at that stage, it is almost guaranteed to be due to a condition that would seriously endanger her, the baby, or both, if the pregnancy was carried to term. Nobody just decides after 27 weeks that they simply don't want the baby. In these cases, inducing to deliver the baby will likely not help the baby and it could still seriously harm the mother.

What this guy proposes would be, in most cases, indistinguishable from an abortion, but way more harmful for everyone involved. It's telling that it is usually men who try to push these kinds of law.
