    All thanks to MP Peter Dutton.

    Key points:
    Earlier this month the Federal Court ruled Tharunicaa's asylum bid was not afforded procedural fairness by the Federal Government
    The Government has now been ordered to pay legal costs of $206,000
    Supporters of the family are pushing for Tharunicaa's asylum bid to be assessed again

    RIP A League

    With the worst kept secret in Australian sport now well and truly out of the bag, Australian football at an elite level appears to be just months away from being on its knees.
    Foxtel’s scheduled payment to FFA, honouring the broadcast deal it signed in 2016 worth $346 million, has been missed and without football on the pitch to broadcast, the media giant now eyes an opportunity.

    Honestly Musk is a mega fraud. Put me in a family rich enough that it's a funny story when I pawn the family emeralds and see what a genius I am. 'Let's just think of say, a self driving electric car, and pay some people to make it happen'

    'Oh Elon you truly are the real life Tony Stark!'

    I don’t think he’s any more of a fraud than any tech entrepreneur is, he’s just more unhinged and driven by a need for acceptance. And Grimes is a fucking jump scare

    Probably but I don't know what it is. She's a musician and just goes by Grimes for that.

    That's the ultimate "quitting my corporate job at age 30 to start a travel blog"

    Grimes went to my university. So did Arcade Fire and Leonard Cohen back in the day. Unfortunately I think the talent skipped my generation.

    Must get one of those. I’ve one looking at the driveway from upstairs (sent the cops footage from it only last Friday) but it’s slow to display when you call it up on the Google Home.

    Whats going on there? Group of burglars target a house where someone is failing to deliver a parcel [so nobody must be home]? Why does the delivery man charge at the door seconds before they arrive? It’s him who comes back out, now sans jacket, with blood on him, right? Who’s the man who turns up and eventually calls 999? The woman comes and runs in presumably to check on a child? Why was the child home alone? Or did someone answer the door and then get charged? I don’t get it.

    The delivery man is part of the gang. It's a ruse to get them to open the door.

    I have been the victim of crime but to think that CCTV is some catch all saver compared is nonsense.

    "CCTV the best thing that has happened to society in the last 20/30 years" is hyperbolic drivel.

    The correct answer is Tony Blair.

    Tony was a big CCTV fan wasn't he? I could make up and mend with him over a couple of glasses of red, being filmed from behind a flowerpot.

    We had our family minibus driven into at home early in the morning by a paper delivery guy who claimed it wasn't him despite him also having a massive dent in his car and paint flakes from his all over ours. A neighbour had CCTV which meant he was fucked though.

    CCTV is great.

    I struggle to get as animated about CCTV as my fellow liberty lovers seem to. It seems a bit daft to complain about passive things like that whilst you're bowling around leaving detailed paper trails across every other walk of life.

    I want your answer, not Googles.

    Also, note that we are talking about a specific form of surveillance.

    With that face morphing technology that can be done in real time live tv CCTV as a conclusive form of evidence is frankly terrifying, to the extent that you believe the state/police to be a corrupting and malignant agent.

    So probably not too much of a concern in the UK.

    My take on it is with increased surveillance it becomes easier to use technology with unintended purposes. People who are considered enemies of the state due to their political views can be targeted (and I'm talking about say an environmentalist for example rather than communist for the motherland). While we have a relatively benign government in the UK compared to say Chyna, I still don't approve to more cameras, more tracking and more interference for the supposed trade off of increased security.

    There are more human based approaches to policing without the need to track our every movement.

    (Yes I know google do that anyway but we shouldn't accept that either)

    The danger is as a very powerful tool it should probably be kept out of the hands of complete idiots, like the government or the police, as much as possible.

    Well that's a different thing really.

    I'll just go with niko's answer as it's the right one.
