Rilette and some ginseng and some smoked sea salt with native pepper. It was all fantastic. Came in an insulated esky type thing all packed separately -hopefully we’ll be doing it again soon.

I visited there about three years ago on a holiday with a friend. We couldn’t take anything back with us at the time so afterwards we got together and made a group order to make the postage a bit cheaper and through a dinner party each for other friends. We ordered the smoked salmon, the salmon

Ethical, environmental awards etc. Great product. Not cheap but if you want the environment looked after…

That makes it sound like Trump is 250. Thought so.

Sam, you can do both, believe me.

This stinks. Under the old scheme people were not allowed to be left with less than $40,000 in savings - this is after selling your house to pay the RAD. Is this still the case?
When the home takes 75% of your pension, how can you pay more? Especially when your savings are depleted.

Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Trump is afraid that everyone will.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

So, as long as it doesn’t break the law, observance of any religion is fine. It would be really nice if people just minded their own business where religion is concerned.

This LNP woman is dangerous and divisive

I could’ve sworn that it was him on ABC radio this morning saying that we should not expect people to forget their original cultures.

Why was she arrested?

Well, to be honest, I don’t think they’ve done any defending since the end of World War II, just waged war or overthrow in government so perhaps it’s more accurate

@murrigellas.bsky.social Hi there. Is everyone ok? It’s not that I’m demanding constant posts, or that I have deserted X, I just worry about you now.

It’s like when Tony Abbott was the minister for women

What was expression? Keep your enemies close and your friends closer.

I remember Julia Gillard mentioning the things that Tony Abbott used to mutter at her that were ‘unheard’ by the Speaker. They are part of the same horrible old boys club.

Of course it is. I’m sure you’re sick of hearing that in Australia we do this. We also do a lot of other things that make it possible for people to vote. We don’t try to stop people from voting. We make them!
