Yea. That’s part of it. Keep reading.
Honestly, I’m sick of this industry and wasting my money on them. I’ll make do with a new $100 phone from the post office in case I need to make an emergency call. 000 will still work even without a sim.
Over many years the providers & industry have been allowed to manufacture the problem and they now get the opportunity to sell customers the solution with new handsets, all whilst harming competition, increasing profits and cutting costs by shutting down the 3G network.
How is this legal?! So the likes of Telstra are blocking otherwise functional phones?
Oh, boo-hoo. His kids can inherit the home they grew up in and buy their own, by this time not over-priced, home once they’ve the income.
And this bill is going to ban doxing, right? Right??
Wasn’t doxing illegal now?
It’s really not appropriate for a politician, the police minister to boot, to be calling anyone an ‘idiot’ in the same breath as demanding respect for the police. It’s the sort of language I’d accept from a truck driver, not from a top politician.
He is setting the tone of the discussion in an extremely problematic way by dehumanising/othering those desparately trying to stop lethal weapons sales used in crimes against humanity, while he normalises the gathering of war profiteers.
I’m extremely disappainted by this government’s policing policy.
“There’s nothing but disrespect being shown from some protesters who want to behave like idiots and police will deal with you,” he said.
our police minister, everyone.
PSA: respect has to be earned. An industry that arms crimes against humanity and genocide does not deserve respect.
The vic govt is funding this arms expo.
A lot of anti-protest rhetoric from the goverment here. Protesting is a fundamental democratic right.
Good to here Max Chandler Mather out there again showing some solidarity.
agreed. Is Ferguson always like this? Max did well not getting pushed around.
Does this mean the articles will read less like a tabloid and more like news again?
Ian should be replaced.
AFP child abusers. Who cares about the cost. This operation was harmful to the community and to the child, who has a right to/needed proper education around ethics & morals not this cloak & dagger manipulation.
Unforgivable.

It’s not a choice between blaming the scooter or the truck driver. It’s a choice between building safe light-vehicle and pedestrian infrastructure or car-centric urban planning.
Cars and trucks are linked with injuries and hospital visits [edit: and deaths] of pedestrians, cyclists and e-scooters – but let’s just blame the victim, shall we?
Wtf were they thinking! `-´
Except when it can’t make any calls because antenna firmware not having the right updates or some bs like that. This industry is a hot mess and I’m about to tap out.
