Tony Barry seems to be arguing that disaffected voters can be won over by tax reform that delivers fairer outcomes.

That means taxing wealth more.

Hard enough to get Labor to go there.
Angus "born with a silver foot in his mouth" Taylor has zero interest in fixing inequality.

Liberals are doomed.

I have a lot to manually review, but as a non-expert I'm limited in my interpretation and appreciation of how meaningful things are even if accurate. It's fun, it feels productive, idk if it actually is.

working on a bunch of documentation review with ai (I generally use it for software dev tasks) in an area I'm basically not familiar with (again, normally use it in an area I'm intimately familiar with) and I can't tell whether I'm building a meaningful, cogent argument or if I'm this guy

1 of 2 ain't bad (tripe is basically the only bad food there is, afaik, but some of those fermented/rotten ones I need to evaluate more carefully before making a call on)

oh nooooo, and here I am getting them handed out as compensation for not getting my intended matcha and raspberry!

but after having had them, I'd order them again now, and the kid is keen on more too

I was wrong, these are actually good, they're just a cheesy jalapeno bread roll in a hot cross bun form factor, no misguided attempt to combine the flavour profiles.

1-panel SMBC comic update. A man with a large "wife" tattoo on his chest is looking at his hand. He says "I think this tattooed note to myself says my wife was murdered, but it looks like I didn't finish writing it. Hold up, what was I doing? Oh, finding the killer who - wait. Wait. I'm gonna spend six hours color coding my inbox." A caption below the panel reads : there should be a version of Memento where the protagonist has ADHD.

The worst part is the movie goes on for weeks but never finishes.

If it goes away when you remember to take your meds, it's probably not a character flaw.

Still haven't even cracked into that salt (I already had different fancy salt).

I'm absolutely hitting them up for a refund. I've had some truly bizarre substitutions sometimes (got some very fancy salt as a substitution for something that was not salt at all, can't recall what), this is at least still (by a loose definition) a hot cross bun but holy hell what a flavour 🀒

Matcha & Raspberry inspired hot cross buns substituted with... Doritos inspired Cheesy Jalapeno hot cross buns?!

Matcha & Raspberry inspired hot cross buns substituted with... Doritos inspired Cheesy Jalapeno hot cross buns?!

This is not a valid substitution Coles, but also what kind of sick world do I even live in that "Doritos Inspired Cheesy Jalapeno" hot cross buns even exist.

I was pushing it with the original order but it sounded interesting... and now I'm morbidly curious about wtf these other ones are like.

Does Australia Get More Tax From Beer Than Gas?
YouTube video by 10 News Does Australia Get More Tax From Beer Than Gas?

Does the Australian government raise more money from beer than it does from the tax on our gas exports?

YES

And the look on their faces is priceless.

My turn to get the weeknight goat curry on during my lunchbreak and I ignored my husband's usual Jamaican recipe he sent me, which I find average, for the back of the Baba's packet. Yes it is a curry coup, the Malaysians are the new goat regime.

I am proud to identify as a Jewish Australian in Amy's column B.

While it is inconvenient for Australia's Zionist-inclined political and media class, there are increasing numbers in "the Jewish community" who oppose the genocidal apartheid state of Israel, and support Palestinian rights.
