Not voting, but if I was it would be no. Electorates with large indigenous population do not want this. The changes to the constitution are vague, first nations representative will be chosen by the government not the people, proposal contradicts itself (on the topic of prosecution no less), there's already a largly underfunded aboriginal governing body that has been intentionally corrupted and ignored for years. This will be yet another way to further marginalise the aboriginal people while the rest of Australia applauds decisions made by puppets installed by bureaucrats in Canberra. Too much large corporate/government funding has gone into campaigning for the yes vote, from my perspective that's never a good sign.

Have a very specific question for SA nonnas: for rental properties, are the only leases available twelve months in duration? Are any six month leases offered? I'm having in SA tell me that they can only get their lease renewed for twelve months and I need to find out whether this is commonplace/legally enforced or if this is a farce. I'm in another state and from my experience here you can usually argue for a shorter lease period like six months depending on how shit your real estate is.

ayrt I was fully convinced this was happening kek, the last thing we need rn after all the the Voice shit. so glad it didn't go through.

speaking of troons, saw one at my local hometown mall, not even the tourist area. obviously late teens/early 20s, whole femboy meme with programmer socks walking through the foodcourt that we used to hang out in after school (cause emos, innit). was incredibly harrowing and made the whole place feel besmirched and beshitted.
also I went to a show in Bris about maybe 5-6 months ago and the unisex bathrooms + pure amount of unwashed troons in reeboks made me want to scrap the tickets and bounce.

I love staring at them in public and watching them get nervous and uncomfortable after i laugh at them.

I can't even travel through brunswick, fitzroy, collingwood or the CBD without being visually accosted by hideous greasy men with coloured hair, disgusting makeup and shitty dresses.

anyone else watching this shit? so far I'm finding:
is incredibly cringe, weirdly boomery considering how much it's pandering to zoomers, ripping off tropic thunder as much as it can and clearly most of the budget went to the big-name american actors (and probably Karl tbh).
most embarrassing. cringing the whole time, onto I think the second to last episode. went into it genuinely thinking it would be fun because the trailer was cut a million times better than the show is.
incredibly homosexual overtones but in a very gay way, not for the ladies at all. full blown nudity with a disgusting fake penis (guy ends up being known as the "one with the big dick" ?? and another guy sucks a bullet out of a dudes gooch??)
idk if I'm getting old but it's all so distasteful and unfunny. that's what gets me the most, not the violence or the gayness or the pandering, cause that shit can be funny. this is the opposite.

if it's $24/hr I'd assume safely it's casual. plus you have to fill out shit if you're part time or full. did they send you a contract or paperwork? and can I ask what sort of position it is?
was bitching about this today actually, john howard was the one who got us all working casual instead of part or full time. no work security and the cycle continues.
good luck with the interview nona, not trying to be a neg egg just make sure you know what you're getting into. some of the jobs these days are perilously close to modern slavery (unironically and is in their training docs, not a tinfoil)

On the phone when I asked she said that its $24/hour with sick and annual leave.. which dounds like contract.

No paperwork yet, I guess if the "talk" as she calls it goes well then all that will happen after

No. 1759021

maybe you just got a good paying one? wait to see what you're signing but if it's $24/hr that's not even a bad rate. is it something worth your time and labour though? like as long as you're not getting up at 6am and doing a 2hr commute for that. regardless, proud of and for you.

I kinda hope its casual. They didnt have how often I am to work on the application like the others, which is why i was less interested. Its about a half hour walk and also has public transport directly to it depending on the time of day, 9am-6pm is generally their opening hours.
I hope its good, I'm a bit worried ill accept this temp job and then hear back from another job thats to continue after christmas though

Can someone help me understand whether or not it's feasible to move out in 2-3 years as a 21 y/o in Adelaide? I get a lot of doomposting from my parents who have little to no assets, telling me that I should expect to live at home forever, and I tend to browse r/AusFinance and similar subreddits to try and understand, but it is also made up of doomposting and I can't really make heads or tails from people who are awful with their money and actual advice.
I understand the COL is incredibly high, but I have no clue if I should I bother saving up and trying or if I should just slum it with my parents til I'm 40. I'd sacrifice a lot if it meant I could move out one day, but also acknowledge that there's a chance "tightening the belt" or "pulling up my bootstraps" wouldn't even matter in this climate.

we're as cooked as you are here.

also there's the whole tall poppy syndrome (you guys call it crabs in a bucket) which makes a lot of aussies LEAVE here because they feel like there's no upward momentum and if there is they aren't a "true blue aussie battler" anymore.
would love to have you obviously but commonwealth countries like ours are easy to move between but the problems follow.
the problems I saw half a decade ago in canada have reached here and blossomed. sydney and melbourne are comparable to vancouver and NYC at points.

I really don't see how it's going to be implemented. Kids will just lie, they're using our birthdates to lie about their ages, we did it when we were their age. Social media is cool to them, they'll find a loophole. Or they'll just migrate to some other lesser-known site and turn it into their own social media.
I feel like 16 is a bit too old as well only on the basis of kids as young as 14 getting jobs and their employers needing their social medias, but then again they can use emails and other shit.
The only way it can really be implemented is if social media companies ask for government IDs of users, but of course there's going to be a whole load of legal issues and data stealing and who knows what if a social media company asks for private details of minors.

>>2320318
Social media sites should be compelled to put the usual "you must be over 16" barrier, but enforcement of the ban should be left to parents. These handwringing lobbyists would rather destroy online privacy for all of us than be responsible parents. The only justifiable use of ID age verification is for porn sites, because exposing minors to porn is a serious crime that the industry is complicit in.

I feel the whole spider thing is a common misconception of Australia. Yes, we have spiders, and yes they are more lethal than a lot of other countries spiders, but we don’t have 1000s crawling around our houses. I like to think it’s pretty on par with any other places frequency of spiders. If you live in the city, it’s somewhat rare to see one. If you live in the countryside, you see them a bit more.
I understand that a lot of them are very dangerous but I’ve only encountered lethal spiders/snakes a few times in my life. I will say that we get a lot of Huntsmen, they are scary but ultimately harmless.

Melbourne nonnas would it be worth it to move there from overseas? I’ve heard the lifestyle is good especially for foodies and nightlife enjoyers, and the cost of living is more manageable than Sydney. But I’d be moving from overseas for work opportunities (construction/gen PM) and my boomer family friends say my time would be better spent either grinding in Sydney or heading out West and getting involved in the mines. Also I’ve heard the rental market is shit at the moment. Is it worth it or should I think harder about some other major cities?

Melbourne nonnie here (and samefagging from the last post) but I do really love it here. I didn't grow up in this city but it's become my home and i couldn't imagine living anywhere else. The rest of Australia is so hot and through climate change it's only going to get worse so staying in the colder city feels best, it still gets into the mid 30s here during summer but it's a nice heat. Sydney sucks and is boring, I come from WA and everyone who lives there is boring and Perth sucks. The only real problem I have with Melbourne is that it's full of tenderqueers and making friends is hard unless you work with people you like, people are pretty closed off here and already have their own cliques so it's hard to "get in". but I'll be your friend

Also I've been meaning to post this on lolcow for a while but there was a troon I saw on the tram a while ago that had a bloody tampon hanging not only from his bag but from THE FRONT OF HIS SKIRT as well. Like, directly in front of his genitals. He was the most typical troon, balding and cat ears and a collar around his neck. Insane. Here's a sneaky pic i got.

No. 2352824

Ausnonnies, whenever I see someone online who mentions they're from aus and have a she/her in bio, I just know they're a troon. Why are troons so active in your country? Do you see them outside often? Also how do you feel about immigration there? I wonder when the indian/chinese migration spiked? Is it a demand for cheap labour or just boosting the demographics?

I'm from NSW and there's much less troons here, everyone in my city is violently normie too. It depends on state I guess, Melbourne is full of troons apparently.
I guess it's because we're a generally liberal country that preaches about equality, which is good and all except for the rise of troonism

kekk I'm from Perth too and always wanted to get out of here and Melbourne was my consideration if I stayed in Aus. The whole tranny epidemic there is really offputting however and I wouldn't know what I'd do if I had to see that tampon catgirl shit in real life. I'm curious what you mean about cliques though.
>>2352824
Like the other anon said, most of that shit is just Melbourne. Most woke things here can be traced back to them kek. I rarely see troons where I live, and last time I did see one it was the type where I questioned whether it was just a fag wearing makeup or a hsts. I've never seen any of those stereotypical creepy catgirl AGPs.

I’m from SA and they aren’t super common here (though I have seen around 7 at least in the past few years and the government/schools are big troon panderers since it’s largely coming from out of state). To concur, I here Melbourne is the worst, though issue is a lot of Melbournians move here since their housing situation is bad, leading to a slight rise in retards here. Ironically there weren’t as many at the nerd cons I go to, I saw more at the psychic fairs.

AYRT and I guess I mean everyone has their groups of friends and don't really seek to search outside of that. Very New York energy, from what I've heard though I've never been to New York. I think Melbourne is still worth living in despite the cat troon tampon wielders because it's quite beautiful and I have made some good friends (I'll be your friend if you move nonnie)

Also I forgot to mention he literally safety pinned the front tampon to his skirt, and he smelt like utter shit

AYRT, you can’t really do anything. Canberra is a very progressive place, arguably even more so than Melbourne. The government here repainted the rainbow roundabout recently to include the progress flag and it is ugly af. Both in the universities and in the public service word gets around quickly here so you really need to be crypto to survive. My workplace set up unisex toilets, I don’t know whether the trans staff here use those or the women’s ones, but I just try and go to the bathrooms farthest away from teams where most of them congregate which unsurprisingly is in IT. God forbid you need computer help.
Outside of workplaces you’ll definitely see them using women’s toilets in the wild, the one in Woden is particularly bad, as are the toilets at Smith’s.

>>2352804
I think I know exactly who and what type of cliques you’re talking about kek. I’ve always lived here and know a lot of the people who ended up in those groups, and all the normie ‘queers’ are just doing it for victim points.
There’s one club here that I think is cool but is frequented by these types and the club itself has a clique. They’re all practically carbon copies of one another despite trying so hard to be different.
I also take sneaky pics of the worst ones I see kek, glad to know I’m not alone here. Maybe one day we’ll be on a tram together and snap the same one.

>>2352756
Despite everything just said above, if you can tolerate that stuff Melbourne is great for what you described. I’m very thankful I was born here because when I’m out of depressive states I actually have a lot of fun shit to see and do if I really want to.
The living cost is mostly the same everywhere aside from rural areas, from what I can tell. It’s not great but you can definitely find something that works for you at a reasonable cost. You get paid a lot more here and can have good job security which is why a lot of people come to just save money and work. Brisbane would be my second favourite city after Melbourne too.

replying again because i wanted to respond to your other question,
there have always been a lot of asians in australia because of the proximity, but it’s definitely much much more noticeable now.
in the melbourne and sydney CBD you will for the most part see about 70% asian people, and no I’m not exaggerating.
this is partly because the chinese people coming here are mostly actually very wealthy and come to monopolise the housing industry and maybe the ccp is trying to take over australia which is why a lot of people take issue with it, it has contributed to our shitty housing market right now.
there’s more specifically a lot of chinese in the CBD, because they want to live in a nice apartment with city views and have the funds to spare to beat out 80 other broke applicants kek.
if you’re not living or going to the cbd you won’t see as many at all, and tbh roaming around i kinda hear every language under the sun except english (im semi-close to the city). i don’t really mind immigration here in all honesty, aside from things that can affect me like the housing crisis, because australia formed as a literal prison island kek, i don’t think any of the ‘tru white australians’ (descending from convicts and colonialists, that’s me as well) cant really be talking about people from very close thirdie countries trying to get out of horrific situations when this was never our country in the first place especially as a fucking convict kek, i have different opinions on european immigration though, but that’s unrel

the indians and other asian thirdies are sometimes but not much also wealthy and setting their kids up to be doctors or whatnot, or lower to middle class, just needed to escape the hellhole that is india, and do menial jobs such as uber, sometimes both though with the uber drivers. indians work really hard to be honest, they usually have multiple jobs. it makes sense because i would rue the day i was born if i was born in india, especially as a woman.

neo-nazism in australia is usually more centred towards asians as well because of these things and how many there are, which is pretty interesting to me.
it’s fairly the same in any country though, they use neo-nazism as a retarded edgy umbrella thing for races they take issues with.
hope this answered your question!

>Why are troons so active in your country?
In Melbourne it's because our covid lockdown lasted over 250 days. That's 250 days of men having full access to porn and Discord, and 250 days of women and girls on TikTok developing body dysmorphia. Everyone under 45 is on the gender train. Good luck making friends or finding a therapist.
>>2353539
>Do they really use the womens bathroom too?
Yes and there's nothing we can do to stop it. Women are at the bottom of the hierarchy. Australians don't care about disabled women (apart from they/thems with totally real POTS and bendy elbows) who need same-sex intimate care, or women in prisons, or rape victims. Even Muslims don't have the power to argue that women shouldn't have to share toilets and changing rooms with men. We are fucked.

fellow melbfag and i’ve always thought the same thing. it was already bad before, but it made everything so much worse internationally as well. excellent point on therapists honestly i never thought about that because i haven’t been in too long and never brought this stuff up. i can imagine some literally telling people to leave and never come back if that happened. bleak.
I hate how almost every bar/club here now has gender neutral bathrooms. I already don’t want to share with tims why would i want to share with literal men? the fuck? some places have urinals in them too so its just a bunch of men with their dicks out surrounded by women in club outfits, its so gross and porny, and obviously in clubs would encourage nasty shit to happen, when men hit on me in those bathrooms sometimes it gets scary when they suddenly switch up on you, even if you’re literally just humouring him until you can use one of 2 fucking actual toilet stalls because no one fucking cares about us.

Therapists are willfully ignorant as well as dogmatic. In their profession they see sexual abuse victims and anorexics, but somehow can't identify that in pooners? Some of them have to treat sex offenders too, and yet no amount of experience tells them that AGP is real and the wave of TiMs crying to them are a threat? The mental health sector is enabling the abuse of women and girls with state-sanctioned magical thinking.

I'm from Bris and the trandemic is actually mad. Agree with the nonas talking about the pandemic affecting it, because genuinely whenever I leave the house I will see one, it's genuinely horrific and pretty much every young woman is a handmaiden (at least outwardly). I remember seeing a genuine Buffalo Bill 50+ year old troon wearing fucking cat ears, an amazon wig and thigh highs with a tennis skirt over his disgusting sagging scrote carcass and I had to pretend I didn't feel sick.

It's honestly even worse at uni than in the general public. You are not allowed to say anything negative about troons unless you want to be ostracised and probably punished, I have had handmaiden professors so harsh they will turn an entire course I have to pay $3000 for into intro to gender ideology and talk about trans rights and muh trans genocide the entire semester. There's tranny graffiti everywhere although I have seen my fair share of GC graffiti in bars.

> I hate how almost every bar/club here now has gender neutral bathrooms.
Same nona, I went to a music venue and they had two bathrooms, one for "men" and one for "everyone". So awesome to see who they believe the primary sex is, and who needs their own bathroom for safety. No one is going to molest a scrote while its pissing its so retarded.

Are troons really that common in Melbourne and Brisbane? What about other states? I'm from the Central Coast in NSW and everyone here is as normie as it gets, rarely you might stumble into a mildly alt dressed teenager but that's it. It goes all the way up to the Hunter region.
