I was surprised, and disappointed, to read that travel to USA from Aus was up 8% yoy. Why would anyone want to travel to a country and consequently support a govt that treats people this way? Barbaric.

Also the sharp tap on the head with the brush if you moved too much.....ouch 😬

My mum kept my hair cut short because I complained so much about her brushing it....looked like a young boy throughout much of the 70s

When is Qld ceding from the rest of Aust? Probably make them and the rest of us much happier.

Minns has been a disappointment since elected. His stance on the right to protest, lack of response to problem gambling, whf crackdown on public servants. If I didn't know any better would assume its just another lnp got

It boggles my mind that the people of Kiama voted for him even after the libs stood him down. What in actual hell were they thinking.

I can't imagine how miserable someone's life is that they take such strident offence at a fairly simple practice of acknowledging the traditional owners of the land. This practice has little to no impact on you, but you are so offended by it you want to stop anyone being able to practice it.

True....my 18 year old nephew listens to more 1980s Australian music than modern stuff.

100% - I get that musical tastes are subjective and that there will be differences for each generation in what they see as songs that in the words of triplej "define the sound of the nation and echo across generations" but leaving Sounds of Then off the list makes no sense.

Thought that for a while. I think all but 1 of the songs I voted for this year were Australian artists. And while we are on Triple J what's with leaving one of the most Oz songs of all time off the list for the Australian Hottest 100. GANGgajang's Sounds of Then.

I wonder if Trump matters to the oligarchy at this point. Have they destroyed enough of the pillars of democracy that they no longer need Trump as the figurehead/puppet and don't care if MAGA turn away from him. MAGA would support the next guy as a hero that revealed Trump was part of the deep state

Why would any woman want to go into a club that so clearly believes they aren't worthy enough to belong, but will grudgingly invite them in to fix their cash flow problem. Sounds sooo tempting.... where do I find a man to invite me in /s 🤦‍♀️

Good ideas strangled by red tape: Treasurer to crack down on bureaucracy Jim Chalmers says boosting productivity is central to his economic agenda. In an exclusive interview, he maps out how he hopes to do it.

Those of us living in strata properties built post 1998 are currently paying the very substantial costs of the last round of lets get rid of bureaucracy by allowing developers to self certify

List of prices of cappuccino by country in USD

I think they are adjusting for exchange rate...ie $5 usd. Attached list of price of cappuccino by country. Aust is #39 on list at 3.50 USD which is probably around $5.

Literally her own employer referring to it as caught in the crossfire..... funny.... He didn't appear to be shooting at anyone other than her and there didn't appear to be any bullets coming from the protesters 🤔

FFS. Anyone watching could clearly see he took aim & fired at a reporter who had her back to him. Would have been obvious to him that she was press given a large camera being pointed at her as she spoke into a microphone.
Headline literally referring to their own employee.
Where's their outrage? 🤬

The MSM are complicit in this. The amplification of LNP talking points about them being better economic managers & the push for small govt & lower taxes leads to election of RW govts that don't believe in public services. Some things should never be outsourced - health, aged care, disability etc

He did do 6 jobs for the price of one 😉

As they say ...don't interrupt the enemy when they are making a mistake...but this is so shortsighted as to be farcical.

And who will do the jobs that ai can't yet do? If we replace entry level jobs with ai will there come a time where ai isn't yet capable but we don't have trained staff to replace skilled retiring workers? entry level is where we start to develop and expand our skills.

Sorry. Just saw the ICAC tag/quote at end of your post...assume this is from the school infrastructure case

Look at the school infrastructure case currently before ICAC to see how the use of contractors and consultants can be co-opted to employ mates or pay people outside the range for a role

Also....if I'm wealthy, have a stable high paying job, access to child care,don't think there is any looming crisis regarding climate changing, already have a house, can access my gp when I need etc etc then I might report my mental health as higher than someone struggling in those areas.

Misread that as not a cruise fan and was wondering when you got to the bit about how it was actually good to watch a movie on the high seas while sipping a cocktail 🚢🍹🍿🎥

Ha ha. Does he also think the Liberal party are small l liberals? Wouldn't they then be too woke for Sky News? Tosser.

Too many bangers.

1 - waiting for the great leap forward - billy bragg
1 - flame trees - cold chisel
1 - 1000 miles away - hoodoo gurus
1 - love will tear us apart - joy division
1 - cattle and cane - go betweens
1 - dirty old town - the pogues

Wouldn't be surprised if they did that.

Then in 6 months both the Nats and Libs can say they tried women in leadership roles and the polls are saying they are still in the bin.

Then they can blame the women-folk and get back to being pale and male...their happy place

I got the same colour (doh 🤦) but slightly different shapes. Desk glasses now also been held together with a freezer bag tie...so that helps distinguish between the two

Hmmmm...because it's not like they don't have three years to sort of their shared policy position 🤔. What a 🍆. Absolutely no reason he couldn't have waited.

Presumably it doesn't even require the parties.

Not up on constitutional definitions but assume if no bloc/coalition has a majority then nothing to stop HOR selecting an independent or "quelle horreur" a Green as head of exec government if they had the numbers.

Not likely but not impossible.
