I know it's common in my city, Sydney, for apartment complexes to build enough car spaces for the occupants. Part of the issue is that of they didn't have that requirement, none would be built, I steady putting extra pressure on street parking and public parking facilities. Residents of those complexes also have no entitlement to a parking permit, which older houses without spots do have.

Nowadays, in inner city with less car need, the spaces required is reduced, with some spots reserved for car share schemes instead.

So, like everything, blanket rules aren't great but rules are needed for a reason.

They already are. Just with official approval.

So much for showing all sides. Does that only apply when it's anti trans? Or anti Zionism?

Yeah, even look at Sony. Recent franchises include a genetically modified clone orphan living in a land of sentient machines with vivid colours.

A father daughter love story told in the time of a zombie apocalypse. (Recent is doing a lot of lifting, lol,)

A samurai warrior, believed dead in a beautiful version of Japan, who sues the wind for direction. Here it's more the art direction.

Older hits, instead of using cars, used floating race pods. Some told stories using forward and back through time to allow a player and their inner soul/ghost explore areas differently. Others has you play as a set of androids staring to become sentient and making decisions for or against their programming, for their or others benefit.

The quirkiness has always been there. There is also lots of generic stuff and copied stuff. Wherever art and business collide, that's always the case.

Well, yes it has. Australia, and a person being assaulted, is the data point you were using to say dissent was not allowed. There have been weekly peaceful protests in Sydney, with police keeping it safe. ACAB may be true but there is varying degrees and Australian police are not the same as american. This was likely a case of police violence towards protest, irrespective of ideology.

All those different countries have people, as you say, with differing views. You're equating the act of government as being their belief and they have all had rallies and protests. Dissent is not banned by any means. The number of people opposed to genocide or aware of the seriousness of genocide is growing. That is changing the politics.

You should be aware that in Sydney, there have also been antisemitic attacks on child care centres, schools, businesses and there have also been false flag terrorist attacks against Jews too. So, the situation in Australia is nowhere near as clear cut as you are presenting.

Yes, in a thread about global permissions to criticize. As it happens a friend of a friends knows her as she's active in the green party. She (the victim) was there as a legal observer, and is a lawyer, so very unlikely she was doing anything to warrant the assault.

So, to answer your point, despite the post being about Australia, this thread is about the global response.

I agree, deportation if an EU citizen is unusual. That happened months ago. My point is that the tide has turned, even in Germany. It's been permitted elsewhere indefinitely. The deportation was a sign of Gen breaking norms to support. There were also indications that of netanyahu came to France or Germany, he wouldn't be arrested. There were also indications that he would, so he didn't dare. Just like Putin hasn't.

In Sydney, where this assault happened there are weekly peaceful pro-palesrinian protests in Hyde park since the October 7th response. So, are you trying to say criticism or Israel is not permitted in Australia, based on this, or just trying to shift the goalposts again?

The league of Arab nations. I think it is a body representing 50ish Islamic nations.

German politicians have until recently been saying that Israel is justified. They are now making statements that Israel has overstepped the line. Most people already see that. However, the point is about whether criticism of Israel is allowed. It is, both by people and politicians. There are also instances of EU(Irish) citizens being deported due to Palestine support. I purposely was pointing to mistakes most staunch supporter, to show that their support is diminishing.

Yes, there has been dancing since the October attack. Exactly my point. Criticism is not banned. Support for Israel is aiding genocide at this point. It seems the countries who support Israel most are those that sell them military supplies.

Yes. Germany have been most supportive of Israel, as they misguidedly want to protect Jews, rather than people from genocide, to overcompensate for past actions. However, even there, the tide has turned and some politicians are making statements against Israel and her actions.

Brazil, Colombia, league of Arab counties, Norway, Sweden. Even Germany and France have expressed concern. The EU as whole is flagging that free trade agreements may be annulled due to war crimes.

I'm many countries, yes, in many ots controversial. In others the political class is against the genocide, including Western countries.

I suppose it will depend on how the law is worded, however, when someone is being impersonated, that would be a pretty clear case.
