War is different. It is state sanctioned I accept that. Mate, don't support rape culture. Also poor analogy is poor.

Exactly right, there is no meaningful distinction.

Uh-huh, and labeling it terrorism achieves what tangible benefit?

It was a large scale act of violence. 3,000 odd people died and was tragic. Does it really matter whether we call it terrorism or not? The outcome is the same. If the planes crashed into the twin towers because of pilot error rather than deliberate act does that mean we should care less about...

No terrorism just doesn't exist period, there's violence and then there's violence, the motivation is irrelevant, the only thing that induces terror beyond the immediate victims is the reaction to the events not the events themselves

Thanks for quoting a liberal party publication sathius v2

Wrong again. You are acting like the coalition has a plan to cut specific jobs for specific reasons. From the limited policy information out there the proposal is just an across the board recruitment freeze which affects departments based on their rate of attrition not their function.

Well it's partially inducing terror because its being hyped up beyond proportion . I think it's sad a person died in such a horrible way - I really do, but this is nothing more than a brutal and senseless murder at the end of the day.

Oh Brett Sylvester I know you are darling, but I'm sure they'll find a cure for you

Nah, it isn't terrorism when guns are involved apparently.

Nope, it's not terrorism. They killed one person, get over it, move on. Edit: I mean mourn the dead but don't get caught up in the hype, that does nobody any favors.

I didn't say that. But prove to me the method that the coalition will use to cut the public service will actually do that. They aren't cutting inefficient staff they are just dealing with it through natural attrition. As anybody who actually knows jack about the public service knows (i.e. not...

I'm not crying about the jobs, I object to the cuts for a different reason than the mere fact that they are cuts. What I object to is that there is an outcry why 5 people loose their jobs because of X but nah 12,000 public service jobs are ok. Either man up and say those 5 job loses were also...

Don't really see how this qualifies as a terrorist attack but w/e

No. No.

Yup, because both represent examples of cutting staff due to escalating costs. Either that's bad or that's good. It can't be both. Also, lol, "bureaucrats" you have nfi

Ugh, there's no such thing as a mandate in the way out system works IMHO (except of course a mandate to govern) Also, kinda scary that 6% of Canberra working population could be unemployed soon (though god forbid the carbon/ mining tax cost a single job)

I judge you as doing not very well.

A thread similar to this already exists.

Yes
