Seems to me, there’s no real way to age verify people. This is pointless.

Want ID? Kids can just upload a fake one.

The app wants access to your phone’s camera, so it can use ai to assess your age? Well I don’t know for certain, but I’m 99.9% there’s probably a way to trick your phone into using a virtual camera, showing images of a middle-aged man.

What ever method of age verification, someone will figure out a way to trick it, and kids will be onto the trick very quickly.

There are far too many people who will benefit financially from this to allow that to happen.

Orly? Can you give me a couple of examples?

I’m opposed to this trend myself, btw. But I just interpreted as a bit of pointless over regulation by a bunch of populist nanny-statists. You’re telling me there’s financial interests involved as well?

You’ve obviously neverheard of the illustrious 8th century Norwegian King, Eystein the Fart.

This wouldn’t surprise me at all, if it almost entirely be rental scooters.

Here in Adelaide, they have these rental scooters lining the sidewalks on the nightlife strips - on the weekend!

This seems to me to be almost criminally negligent. What do they think young people are going to do with these things, while drunk? They are going to ride them, while drunk, and they are going to have accidents, of course. Because they’re drunk.

I like the rental scooters, as they’re a great way of getting round the city when you’re in a hurry, but they should shut them down on the weekend evenings, FFS.

I wonder whether there’ll be this much outage when Jillian Assange is sentenced to decades in prison in the US.

Looks like we have a movement then. Only small, so far, but …

I’m just wondering if we could substitute our current monarchy for the Danish one. Maybe if a Danish naval officer lands at Sydney Cove and plants a flag there? This has a precedent I believe.

I honestly don’t know what happened there.

Cancel culture exemplified.

There’s literally a standing US order to invade the Hague if a US military member is tried

Can I have source?

EDIT: Don’t worry, found it

Actually, that was a postal survey, before a parliamentary vote. Not a binding referendum.

FWIW I’ll be voting Yes, but I doubt it will do much good.

Referendums never succeed in this country, unless they have bipartisan support. So what was the point of this exercise? What’s Albanese’s angle in all of this?

Great translate feature. Instant.
