A large part of our government's arguments of late has been that any idiot can get themselves elected.
Here, ladies and gentlemen, is your idiot - senator, butcher and mother of two seeks love with rich, well-hung man half her age ... on national radio:

This is the same senator who, in a live interview, offered to spank a television presenter. The real joke is that Tasmanians are outraged at her comments - after all, they elected her in the first place.

"Of course my political enemies will make a big deal out of my comments, but the reality is I was talking with Kim and Dave on Heart FM - not Sarah Ferguson on the ABC."
Now that sounds like a classy gig, if it's the same Sarah Ferguson. Snort.

I just want to see how the political satire "How Green Was My Cactus?" handles it.

Thing was, I knew how her accent would sound even before I listened to the clip. What is her accent and how does it sound to fellow Awstriylyuns?

Officially she's from Tasmania. But she sounds like she's from somewhere in Western Sydney, between the M7 and the Nepean River.
In other words, she's a bit of a bogan.

Thank you Prof. Liebstraum. What I should have said was that they can't proof-read, it's in the paragraph title.

The headline got my attention

Wondering if they also had an experiment onboard to see if ants could be trained to sort tiny screws in space.

Australian police told off for Lily Allen arrest image
The officer is being disciplined for "breach of protocol".
Presumably that means that once they've got her they're supposed to shoot her?

A man has completed his challenge to push a Brussels sprout up Snowdon using his nose.
Of course he has, a man on such a mission is no man to be doubted.

It's funny to see how the loser in the Indonesian presidential elections has been depicted in the media, especially hiven his upcoming high court challenge of the result. They don't say it outright, but it amounts to the following:
"My rival is more popular than I am, is accepted by every minority group in the country, has more moderate policies than I do, had a larger election campaign than I did, does not have any lingering questions about human rights abuses hanging over him the way I do, was tipped by every exit poll to win the election, and was a picture of humility upon claiming victory.
"Clearly, the only say he could have won was through widespread vote rigging and corruption."

I saw that on /r/childfree. Didn't expect people to pick it up this much.
Tough one, it's a pro camera that required preparation. While unattended the animal used (or took, depending on the source) the camera and took a picture. Because it physically pressed a button and knowingly interacted (even if it didn't know it was photographing) it owns the image. Except it can't legally own the image and therefore it belongs to the public domain.
Interesting case.

What's fun here is that the argument that the photographer owns the image regardless of recognised competence under law technically means the police cannot use speed camera images in prosecution for speeding offences...

Hmm, I was wondering if an IR-beam-triggered photograph of the macaque would have worked the same way... would the setter-of-the-trigger hold the rights over the triggering party?
In this case the macaque pressed a button and physically interacted with the equipment. Is the trigger mechanism the key part of deciding ownership where multiple parties have played certain actions in the taking of a photograph?

The IR trigger is the most applicable to this case.
The photographer sets up the camera for the shot. Even if he is not the one pressing the trigger, he owns the photograph that occurs.
To say that he doesn't own the photo because a non-human agency is responsible for the final triggering of the photo is to claim that said non-human agency has the exact same rights as a human.
Wikimedia should, by all rights, lose this case. But it sucks the guy has to put up so much money to prosecute what should be an open-and-shut case.

Quote time: I remember hearing a radio interview with Australian Rules Football player Alipate Carlile. One topic that came up was a big on-field brawl that had happened that weekend. When asked about his involvement Carlile said "Nah, I'm a lover not a fighter. I was just in there pulling guys off".
