Hey carnts. Will probably post pretty sparingly but good to see some folk have found a nice little spot on the web.
Hey everyone, long time Australian GAF lurker here. Frankly I dread this time of year, because it means the footys over and soon I’ll have to pretend I care about cricket at work again.
Hi guys.
I used to lurk AusGAF for good deals, I guess I'll try to chime in more now.
Good to see people migrating over here.

G'day to all.

Alright last questions before some recommendations...price? Low, medium or high?
The internet here shits me to tears. I’ve been experiencing 0.36mbps for the last few days. It’s so frustrating. The LNP really fucked us with the NBN, hey?

The LNP really fucked us with the NBN, hey?They've royally fucked everyone over, even the investors looking to buy it up once completely rolled out. Should've never been treated like a commercial project that would eventually be for sale, and then they go and even further fuck it up that potential and have probably made things worse compared to the ADSL2+ era.

Other than today my favorite part was watching the slow burn of Sky's twitter, from smug condescension at those amateurish greens to total paranoid horror at the devious unfair scheme they hatched to bring down the government.
And it was all because some lawyer was out to get Derryn Hinch, but had to cover his tracks to make it look like he wasn't only out for him.
Wandered in from the ruins of GAF looking for a home that doesn't require me to have to work out my password for a paid email.
Was fisheyes at the old joint but thought a new name was in order, and given the first part of this site's name is Sports, I figured I'd rock an avatar of the man, the myth, the legend that is SPP.

Asylum seekers with life-threatening medical conditions held in Australia’s offshore detention regime are facing treatment delays so severe that a whistleblower fears it may cost them their lives, in a growing crisis in the nation’s controversial detention system.
Nick Martin is the most senior official deployed on the remote Pacific nation of Nauru ever to publicly speak out about Australia’s offshore immigration system, as part of a joint investigation between BuzzFeed News and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC).
He alleges that patients with breast lumps, kidney stones and neurological damage were delayed diagnostic treatments; and that severely diabetic asylum seekers held within the detention regime are at risk of going blind.
Patients who needed medical facilities that were not available on the island had to be transferred to the Papua New Guinea (PNG) capital of Port Moresby, or Australia — but often Australian officials would delay these transfers, worsening the patients' medical conditions and potentially endangering their lives.
The allegations he levels are backed by an extensive cache of leaked documents obtained by BuzzFeed News and the ABC. They show that Martin is not alone. His views are widely shared by other medical practitioners on Nauru contracted by the Australian government.
;
Martin also wrote a letter to his superiors, backed by three medical colleagues, setting out major flaws at the Nauru hospital. He outlined shocking failures in services at the hospital, including the treatment of one refugee, who received six referrals to the hospital, and had been waiting 18 months for an MRI scan. At the hospital, doctors kept no notes on the patient's case.
“If I referred a patient in Australia to a hospital where I knew that no form of clinical notes would be kept, no feedback would be given and often the referral would be lost or ignored even after repeated attempts to get the patient seen, I would expect to be up before the courts on a culpable negligence charge, along with the hospital,” Martin wrote in the letter.
