Happy democracy sausage day, QLD.

Same for me

Fucking hell SA

This screams “look we’re doing something about the cost of living crisis!” energy without tackling the major influences in the cost of living like housing and grocery prices.

This would be amazing if they could pull it off. Would take a burden off parents as well - don’t have to keep track of lunch items, make lunch, drag lunchboxes out of bags, wash them etc.

Great leveller as well if the kids doing it tough get the same food as everyone else.

Woo! Get in everyone, we’re going back to the good old days! No uppity women, no trans people and burning shit tons of coal!

That’s awesome! I’m keen to see what they do with the buses if they get back in too.

I mean games, tv, movies all have some sort of rating system so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time reviewing the content for your kids. Seems like a gap that this doesn’t exist for books.

On mobile I get (almost) 3 lines of 1 story. lol

I hate it. Really hard to skim read.

This misalignment is also shitting me to tears.

V8 precision driving the demonstration Olympic sport. Nice.

The swing from the bottom of the petrol cycle to the top was nearly 50c a month ago. It has been divorced from reality for a long while. The ACCC petrol price enquiry did nothing and people were all over Miles about “what’s in it for us poor drivers” when he announced the 50c fares. So it’s a particular pain point in QLD and will be interesting to see what they can do it they push forward with this.

Another one in FNQ that isn’t getting much media coverage too https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/jun/29/man-allegedly-stabbed-woman-to-death-before-attempting-carjack-on-major-queensland-highway

Im sure both of these will go on a list somewhere and we’ll continue to ask “what can we do?”

Credit to the Australian members of parliament who haven’t let this go:

[Prime Minister Anthony] Albanese has said he raised the matter directly with the US, including with the president, Joe Biden, during his visit to Washington in October 2023.

In February this year, Albanese and cabinet members supported a motion put forward by independent MP Andrew Wilkie urging the UK and US to allow Assange to return home to Australia.

The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, said he also raised the matter with his US counterpart, Merrick Garland, during a meeting in January this year.

Thanks to those 900 complainers who got this to happen!

Beach Read by Emily Henry. Both protagonists are authors.

Oh lord I hope not!

The low salt version! Haha we have the same one here. It’s still tasty :)

Absolutely. Great idea.

Good on her for standing up.

The only booth he didn’t win was Windsor. Surprise, surprise, people who live in the inner city preferred the Greens candidate. What a flog.
