Discarded vacuum cleaner with a sign that says 'worked really well until it sucked up a sock'.

Can relate.

Yup. The sound is shitty.

Congrats to both of you.

Holding a state funeral for a criminal turd like Richardson really sets a tone.

It's not just wholesale privatisation either. It's the incremental corporatisation of our public assets. Think Universities, broadcasters, healthcare and yep, even parkland. Shameful stuff.

Munching. Definitely munching.

Bewdiful!

Government fund lends $45m to Arnott’s to help Tim Tams go global Patrick Commins The government’s National Reconstruction Fund has lent Arnott’s Group $45m to help support the Australian name to take Tim Tams worldwide. The money will be used to refinance $1.75bn in debt that comes due in 2026, which is earmarked for “planned future growth capital expenditure”. Tim Tams are already stocked in all major British supermarkets and are reportedly selling well – Brits have bought more than 5 million packets since the biscuits hit shelves in April 2024. The NRF has $15bn in taxpayer money to invest in the country’s manufacturing capability, and recently also lent $36m to the country’s biggest meat pie maker, Patties Food Group. Arnott’s has been around since 1865 and employs 2,500 people across five facilities. While Arnott’s is an iconic Australian name, the company is owned by American private equity giant KKR, which bought the company from Campbell Soup Company in 2019. Arnott’s has not been Australian owned since 1997.

Oh and here's a pile of cash for private equity because Tim Tams.

It's an album cover for a pianist called Wayne King. Geddit?

I may have found the support slot..

What an absolute disgrace. The management in that building should hang their heads in shame.

Farewell to one of the greatest.

Now that's what I call DIPLOMACY!.

Beautiful. Is this Brisbane?

I think the word you're reaching for is 'corruption'.

The comforts and conundrums of ageing As the average life span extends ever closer to 100 years, and possibly more in the not too distant future, what are we to do with this extra time on Earth?

A little something from me @thesaturdaypaper.com.au on ageing.

Yay Wend. Xx

So good.

Ha, yes!

Gotta say, whatever's going on in that photo doesn't leave me very 'buzzy'.

Small bass. Big sound.

I'm just leaving this here #auspol

What a time to be alive.

Intermittent solar and wind complement each other for a more stable grid A study finds combining wind and solar leverages their alternating peak periods, significantly boosting total generation capacity while providing a constant, predictable power curve critical for grid ...

I thought this was fairly well established, but: here's another new study showing that wind and solar complement each other and make for a more stable grid when combined.
