Nah it wouldn’t be that, those sorts of land acknowledgements are very common in Melbourne, especially in the Arts, that would have been perceived as utterly uncontroversial by the MSO

Dismantling the regime. If someone said we need to eliminate the Chinese Communist regime, would you think they want to destroy the entirety of China?

Well, one of Australia’s high profile war criminals was punished with a cushy media executive job

It’s not good at all for society. It’s slavery with the addition of a heightened risk of death, all to serve the whims of guys in suits far from the battlefield.

Previous commenter thinking it’s a good thing because it will whip the rabble into shape is delirious. These are peoples sons and daughters that we would be sending off to die in the mud. Shameful.

Private companies are valued all the time, typically it’s by calculating a multiple of EBITDA, with some variations for particular industries

That’s a pretty uncharitable interpretation, the commenter is just saying they otherwise don’t know have any experience with the country

White Castle does not exist in AU/NZ so the round bun criteria is still consistent

Wouldn’t have guessed that it was Korean farmers who let the dogs out

When has China ever threatened to bomb Australia?

That wording is emotional manipulation, they are as recognised as any other Australian citizen

Edit: do you guys know the difference between “recognised” and “disadvantaged”? Because you’re arguing against a point that I didn’t make

I doubt

I’d wager

I’d assume

You have a news article linked here which clearly spells out an example of this happening yet you still lean on assumptions that it couldn’t possibly happen

Is it being suggested to people who don’t have a terminal disease?

recorded data by the nature of being stored somewhere, should be made public?

The difference is that this data can already be surfaced by anyone, all they need to do is spin up a federated instance, so someone could do all the stuff outlined in the parent comment, but keep the results for themselves, or monetise it, build advertising profiles, doxx people, etc.

The data already exists, and it can already be extracted and made public (or used privately). I’m not saying throw open every database to the world, I am saying the world can already access this database, so pretending that it’s not available doesn’t stop bad actors from using it. Might as well make a public tool (that actually sounds kinda cool?) and bring awareness to it.

Honestly, why not? The data is already being recorded. At least this way it’s public and the rest of us get to interact with it. It might even scare a few people into paying attention to the information that they disclose about themselves and increase their digital hygiene.
