  • And that’s where I can see people having concerns. By voting Yes, you are opening the door for a model that you may not agree with. I can see people being hesitant about it, like it’s a trap. But that’s just my devil’s advocate opinion, the fact is that this will unlikely affect anyone who isn’t ingenious in a tangible way.

    It’s well overdue for us to genuinely celebrate our indigenous heritage and ensure our constitution allows us to embed this culture into our country’s DNA.






  • You said he “influenced” them so much that they got rid of him. You’re implying that his stance wasn’t conducive to their ideology so they removed him as their leader. He lost the party room because he tried to introduce the NEG, he refused to butcher the policy by funding coal fired plants. He didn’t succeed, but he did the best any liberal leader could amongst one of the most aggressively right wing eras in Australian politics.

    What are you expecting me to quote on SH 2.0, you’ve claimed it was worse than the NBN but haven’t backed up legitimate reasons why? Because it’s expensive and went over budget? The original NBN quote was expensive, and you’d be to be highly optimistic if it stayed on budget and was delivered in time, it’s a government project afterall.

    Do you need links?


  • Is it though? No offence but the vast majority of “people” do not know authentication well enough to be given their choice of login method.

    And when we entrust non-security vendors to implement their own authentication, you get situations like ServiceNSW encrypting and storing credentials with a 4 digit pin.

    If a bank wants to use a security vendor to strengthen their authentication, that’s better than the alternative, I’d prefer that to what I have experienced with one of the big 4 where they still use SMS.


  • So you’ve quoted an article that complains about the cost of SH 2.0 and another that complains that it’s delayed (name an infrastructure project that isn’t delayed or over budget). But neither of those refute the projects long term benefit as a renewable energy source. Moving on, you’ve made moot points, congrats.

    At least you admit he was working on a positive climate policy and lost his job because of it. Both sides of the debate now agree he was doing what he could.

    You’ve obviously come from /r/Australia because they certainly had a penchant for slinging the word “whataboutism” around as if it was a good argument. It’s more of a trumpism where you just say a slogan so you don’t have to address the point. Well done.



  • Getting the user to use their app is pretty important. You may only be using TOTP now, but it allows for more intelligent multi factor authentication later on.

    E.g. the app could check your risk profile, like where you’re accessing from and if any impossible travel took place. They may add multi step auth like push notifications or biometrics.

    By letting customers use Google authenticator you are limiting MFA to only TOTP. MFA isn’t just an on and off switch anymore.


  • Snowy Hydro 2.0 was something he backed heavily whilst in power. He has also invested and advocate considerably in renewables since leaving politics. Compare that to your regular run of the mill politician like Gladys or Baird swanning into telcos and banking, or the others jumping into gambling industries.

    Also, why are you downplaying him talking about climate change? It’s one of his best assets, he holds huge influence. Would you prefer he install solar panels? Get real. You just want someone to hate but are completely misguided.



  • And it was the second time it’s happened to him because he lost the shadow leadership on similar grounds.

    A lot of people shit on Turnbull because they think you can just do whatever you want with no repercussions when you’re PM. But that is such a narrow minded way of thinking.

    We’ve got one of the most left leaning PMs in recent history right now who still needs to appease both sides of politics. You don’t just get a blank cheque in a democracy.
