And people say anonymity is the reason for the internet being so awful.
Leak leaks: http://www.afr.com/news/politics/ca...-says-leaked-cabinet-document-20150819-gj2i4b
"Abbott government ministers have been told to tell federal parliament that cabinet processes are "functioning exceptionally well" if asked about recent Cabinet leaks, according to leaked documents."
"Abbott government ministers have been told to tell federal parliament that cabinet processes are "functioning exceptionally well" if asked about recent Cabinet leaks, according to leaked documents."
Did they have an unmoderated discussion on a platform where white supremacists organise? Who thought that was a good idea?
Well, they got an article out of it
You're right, they probably got what they expected. Fair enough I guess, as long as they reasonably shielded the guy from the bile.
Whats Pyne's angle? Is its because of the branch stacking thing from last week?
He's worried about losing his seat in Adelaide I'd guess.
His electorate, Sturt, was big in auto manufacturing, so twin that decline with the ambiguity of the Collins submarine project and Pyne is likely standing against Abbott since it's the only way to remain popular.
Oh and Nick Xenophon who nearly ran there a few years ago, but decided to run for the Senate instead, is targeting Sturt with his own candidate at the next election.
I'm the worst person.
Thank you for pointing this out.
Maybe the polls which suggest he could potentially lose his seat.

What the fuck.
Is Fairfax now a viral turd like buzzfeed, thinking a bunch of facebook posts is news while they preach their 'correct' line and is not posted as an opinion piece?
The article has the audacity to use an opinion piece by Amanda Vandstone (which makes the exact opposite point) as completely out of context 'backup' - all to answer to answer a retarded Facebook comment.
I loathe the current government and Labor's boat policies, but this article is shamefully poor journalism written in and for a generic lefty echo chamber.
Well. The Age continue to publish Leunig...
Actually yes, they've been specifically pursuing "curiosity gap" headlines (ie clickbait) for a while. Here's a collection that Crikey put together:
Have to say, legend166 was the first person to point it out, months and months ago in this thread. I was a little thick about it because I didn't know the "doctors hate him" meme, so credit where it's due.
Whilst I do use feedly for a bunch of favourite newsy sites (the guardian, abc, new matilda, crikey, smh and the newcastle herald (for local news)) I do also have a journo twitter list I'm pretty happy with.

Speaking of Australian journalism Huffington Post Australia is now a thing that exists.
Hopefully it is good.
And this is my favourite news story all week.
Cabinet functioning 'exceptionally well' - says leaked cabinet document
EDIT: Already posted. Fuck.

I thought Morrison was too, he seems to have become the poster child for the NSW right to replace Abbott if it happens. Then there is Malcolm, of the Malcolm faction.
Though the Right supported Gillard and the Left supported Rudd so strange things can happen!
wast thinking of subscribing to the digital smh but the clickbaity tripe on their website for the past several months has really pushed me away. it's also why i don't really bother with the abc outside of radio & the odd bit of tv anymore

Eleanor is the best.
NSW, fucking things up for everyone
Not that I doubt you, but I wanna see your sources
so I can look at more juice goss cause I am trash who enjoys liberal suffering
It's on Toxic Chan (8chan).
Jesus christ quarantine and purge yourself
no but seriously hope you're not on ASIS's CP watch list
LOL was on /g/, they said it was on there, so I went on the /tech/ board and there it was.Jesus christ quarantine and purge yourself
no but seriously hope you're not on ASIS's CP watch list
There's no CP there and if there is I haven't seen it unless it's buried somewhere and I'm not digging for it. Probably just gets reported like 4chan does every now and then - google usually fires first and asks questions later.
When they're a (ex) Parliament member who's meant to represent us I sure want to know - esp. if someone might be getting blackmailed to pass things. Secker is on the FIRB so it would be possible to pass investments that are not in the public's interest.
So hang on a minute what exactly was leaked?
To be honest thats a very good policy
thats why in this situation I'm trash
but I'm trash who draws the line at 8chan
Haven't got the full leak yet, but emails, profiles, possibly messages, Credit Card stuff, internal docs, lots of stuff etc.
Very bad for the cheaters. On that chan some have done password resets on temp email ones and got into profiles and confirmed that they're real logins and profiles.
Some on 4chan also confirming it, including asking known users and checking.
Apparently there's geographical locations so they can pinpoint the user location and stuff so it's definitely real - I doubt someone would go and fake all that.
Ah well, at least Lawyers will be having nice new cars this year.
Is there anything there that might be in the public interest? Because stealing email addresses and credit card information is extremely fucked up.
Then it is as I suspect an act of doxxing "for the lulz."
I wish the Internet would get its act together.

Apart from stuff like "moral character" and possible susceptibility to blackmail, no. It's just a database from a particularly fucked up online dating site (it basically matches married people looking for affairs), so there can't be anything public interest in there. Unless someone is a complete moron and is communicating state secrets over it.
