There's an android app called URLCheck that can strip unwanted bits off the end of urls and then open them as well.

While its true that there are open-access journals and conferences without such costs

To publish open access normally costs upwards of $3k USD as well. There's practically no point in the publishing chain where academics aren't getting screwed.

Let's also not forget that you have to review other people's papers for the journal for free.

The rate of false accusations of rape is really hard to determine but is generally regarded as being pretty low (Vicpol puts it at ~5% based on studies). It's also extremely hard to get a good number though, since false does not mean unfounded.

I don't think it's justified drawing an equivalence between rape and rape accusations given the evidence we have on the rates, it makes it seem like false accusations are happening way more than they actually are.

Also given who this probably is, this is likely not the only accusation of rape also, which decreases the likelihood the accusations are false I would suggest.

They could have avoided a chunk of this by passing Zali stegalls bill on truth in advertising, but I guess abandoning your cornerstone policy on reconciliation is a small price to pay for being able to lie at the next election.

Yes but a contained nightmare.

Sex Education is important

Underrated comment imo

I'm still not sure I get Lidia's arguments tbh. I agree with her on treaty and I honestly don't know why (other than being a pack of racists) we haven't implemented the recommendation of the royal commission into indigenous deaths in custody, I'm just not sure that voting the voice down is a good move or would even help get those things done. It could make Australia wake up to its past by giving it a shock, but just (maybe more) likely the referendum failing will empower racists.

Literally every one of my indigenous friends and colleagues that I've spoken to are voting no,

Did you forget what you wrote?

2 points:

1. Anyone can say they have indigenous friends or have spoken to indigenous people. In fact Peter Dutton has been doing that this whole time. This is a largely anonymous forum so there's no reason to believe anyone who says "ah yeah I spoke to a guy."
2. We have polling on indigenous peoples opinions on the voice. The people we surround ourselves with or we encounter in our daily lives are an insignificant sample size and subject to selection bias.

Ah, a contained disaster. Fair point.

There's a lot of "it's probably concealed for a reason" type posts that I don't think I'd be seeing if this was the LNP.

Also how can Australians trust the government to make national security laws if they aren't informed on national security issues?
