1d2bxho | Going to mention Johnny, Vince and Sam’s Ristorante which is the new darling on Lygon Street. Step back in time here to Noona's house with the decor.
Apparently old Italians like eating here for their home style authenticity. I have only tried the pizza here, it's different to your normal style, yet I really liked it. I'd go back to try the pasta for sure. They don't take bookings, you queue outside if they are full, with kids in tow you'd want to hit the place at opening so you don't have to wait.
If they're full try Ms Frankie Carlton around the corner. The pasta is good. Yet it's always easy to get a table because they're expensive, pasta is $24-39.
Also highly rate Donnini's. The pasta here is great. They will look after you and no one I've ever been with has walked out unhappy. Just be aware it is expensive, pasta is $34-37. There is a pasta trio which is good for the undecided especially those with an appetite - you could split one order with the kids. Get the focaccia as a starter which is delicious - just don't over order as it'll fill you up too much. | 0 |

Cringe and not based. I can understand the monarchist position in principle, but this simping for born to rule British aristocrats, is beyond me.
To save others time, the reason why it doesn't matter, according to the article, is that the monarchist movement is lead by political geniuses who will outwit republicans at every turn. | 1 |

1cyk225 | So because federal Liberal governments have been too gutless to secure gas supply for Australians, or have any meaningful policy or projects for Australia’s energy future, it’s Dan’s fault the majority of Victorian gas is exported?

1cw99d1 | >Yet even in light of this, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton complained last week that the number of public servants has swelled under the Albanese government, declaring the Coalition sees defence spending as “much more of a priority than office staff in Canberra”.
Gonna skip the usual Morrison circlejerk (oh Scott Morrison exercised political savvy to do no actual work? Shocker /s) and just highlight this point - the LNP will whinge Labor does nothing, but when Labor actually hires real staff to do work (more on "real" in a sec) now it is "hiring for the wrong sectors/wasting money on 'too good' public servants" and other bullshit.
I say "real", because the alternative is pure contractors, which often cost more than regular staff (since the worker and the company has to make a profit or else cut corners to make money) and yet are seen as "good" because hey you create private sector jobs (which are magically worth more than public sector jobs because ???).
Anyway, nice to see Dutton falling back to classics /s. | 1 |

1cyhh7e | These attacks on the ICC are pure hypocrisy. International law is not just a tool to be selectively applied when it suits the US and its allies. The US and EU was insistent on the former Yugoslav countries co-operating with and handing over suspected war criminals. The US did not object when it issued an arrest warrant for Putin.
The ICC charging and trying war criminals is of the international rules based order, whose protection is supposedly the cornerstone of Western diplomacy, especially when it comes to convincing countries to sanction and condemn Russia. But now the Americans are not just attacking the court but considering sanctioning the court for literally doing it's job.
As for Dutton he overestimates how many people outside of the conservative (and some non-conservative) media and political elite care about Israel, and outraged by this. For most Australians it is a far away war that has being going on for as long as they can remember, that has little to do with us. Attacking Albo on this is not good politics. | 0 |

1cq2am0 | It’s worth noting that the reason that the Terms of Service of most social media specifies an age limit of 13+ is in order to comply with a US law (COPPA) that says they can’t collect or store data for kids under 13. It’s about company liability and compliance, not safeguarding children.
I do think we at least need to consider our own law around the collection, use and storage of data related to children instead of relying on US laws.
There’s strong evidence that social media is harmful to kids, and it would be good to investigate some common sense laws ways to reduce the normalisation of children on social media and social media apps targeting young people. I’m not sure how it works in practice, and I don’t think they will stamp out social media use in children entirely, but I think there’s plenty of room for improvement when we’ve done very little legislatively to try and combat this issue. | 0 |
1d2fobc | I had one for a couple of months and absolutely hated it. They’re a brilliant idea in theory, but they just don’t work efficiently. It takes 3+ hours and the clothes never fully dried so I’d have to hang them out to finish drying anyway. And our clothes ALWAYS dried with that musty smell (like when you’ve left them in the washing machine too long) because the dryer process just takes too long.
I also hated not being able to do back to back loads. I have kids and work full time and my washing gets backed up sometimes, especially when we have a sickness like gastro run through the household. Having the one machine do it all wasted a lot of time when I could have been running a load in the washing machine and another load in a dryer simultaneously, then when the washing is finished it goes in the dryer, and another load goes straight in the washing machine.

1cw9vcr | Of course, had we taken Finland's approach, it may have turned out like it did in Georgia USA where their new reactor cost US$35 billion to build (AU$52 billion), was 7 years late, and is going to cost consumers an extra US$170+ per year on their electricity bills (AU$250+).

Miners have poured a record $74bn into the coffers of federal, state and territory governments, with the Albanese government pocketing $42.5bn in company tax revenue, and Queensland and NSW cashing in on booming coal royalties.
After Jim Chalmers announced a second budget surplus anchored by strong mining exports and commodity prices, an EY royalty and company tax payments report, released on Monday, reveals miners have paid governments almost $360bn in taxes and royalties over a decade.
With Peter Dutton promising a Coalition government will adopt a “pro-mining mindset” and the Greens demanding an end to coal and gas, Anthony Albanese is under pressure to balance Labor’s emissions reduction ambitions with support for traditional mining.
Commissioned by the Minerals Council of Australia, whose members include BHP, Rio Tinto, Lynas Rare Earths, Glencore and Peabody, the annual report shows a $9.3bn increase in payments to governments. The $74bn payday for governments in 2022-23 included a decade-high $31.5bn in royalties. As well as traditional mining revenue associated with iron ore and coal, The Australian this month revealed oil and gas companies are on track to pay a record $17.1bn in taxes and royalties across 2023-24.
With the mining industry paying the highest average wages, contributing the most company taxes and delivering the bulk of export revenue, MCA chief executive Tania Constable warned against holding back miners with “draconian 1970s industrial relations agendas, high energy, environmental, planning and taxation costs”. The MCA will launch a national advertising blitz on Monday.
“The recent federal budget revealed that government spending is on the rise and it is our country’s mining sector that foots the bill, paying more than half of the company tax paid by large corporations and international businesses,” Ms Constable told The Australian.
“Despite underwriting our nation’s prosperity, living standards and security, the path forward for the mining industry remains uncertain. Our tax system is increasingly uncompetitive, and our regulatory environment is becoming more cumbersome.
“Approvals are taking too long, tied up in endless red tape, well-funded lawfare and multi-layered government bureaucracy, wasting taxpayers’ money and holding back Australia’s economy from realising its full potential.”
Queensland’s share of national royalty payments increased from 32.5 to 47.2 per cent off the back of higher coal royalty rates, with NSW claiming a $4.7bn royalties windfall. In the battleground election state of Western Australia, iron ore remained the biggest earner despite lower revenue and prices in 2022-23.
“Total mineral sector royalties reached approximately $31.5bn in 2022-23, increasing by $7.6bn from the previous year. The yearly growth in royalties was primarily due to an increase of $7.1bn in royalty taxes paid in Queensland due to the introduction of progressive coal royalty rates,” the EY report said.
“Western Australia’s royalty income is largely attributed to iron ore. In 2022-23, iron ore production volumes were similar to 2021-22, so changes in WA’s royalties were largely driven by changes in iron ore prices.
“Iron ore prices declined in the second quarter of 2022-23 and remained lower in early 2023 due to production restrictions in China.”
With mining companies and associated supply chains supporting 1.1 million jobs, Ms Constable said the sector was helping keep “Australia solvent”.
“A robust mining sector is critical if we want to sustain public spending, advance Australia’s broader economic agenda, and keep the budget in the black,” she said. “This is revenue that supports families, builds communities, and funds essential services like the NDIS, childcare subsidies and aged care.”.
The mining industry has warned the Prime Minister that at a time of “decaying productivity and looming long-term structural fiscal deficits, the government is imposing regressive policies on the sector that dampen the investment growth critical to achieving economic potential”.
Less than a year out from the election, Mr Albanese and Mr Dutton will ramp up campaigning in the resources-rich jurisdictions of WA and Queensland and the Northern Territory.
While Mr Albanese has used his Future Made in Australia policy to support critical minerals, Mr Dutton promised in his budget reply to cut red tape and rollback Labor’s sweeping IR reforms. | 0 |

1cwv29h | It's way more politically charged in the US.
As far as I can tell, most Australians whether they reckon he did the right thing or not (and I suspect most think he did not) think he should be granted a degree of clemency.
In the US the Democrat establishment thinks he helped Trump at the behest of Putin and hates him with a passion. Along with that right wing hawks also hate him for undermining America. A lot of Americans chime in on any thread about him on top level subs to repeat how they only see him as a Russian agent. I think most Americans would be happy for him to be executed or die in prison. | 1 |

1d3iwgi | Brunswick hasn't been run down or crime ridden in many years, has pretty much followed the same trajectory as Fitzroy. Both fit the criteria you're looking for, I would recommend Brunswick over Fitzroy as it's a bit more residential and less dense, plus better proximity and accessibility to Parkville and Footscray. Brunswick East is good too, a bit quieter and closer to Merri Creek parkland. Pretty much anywhere between Brunswick and Footscray would be a good choice, places like Ascot Vale, Moonee Ponds, Kensington, North Melbourne etc.
Keep in mind that all of these places are dense and right next to each other so I wouldn't say there are any real major differences. Brunswick and Fitzroy have more nightlife if you're looking for that, but all of these places are relatively close so you wouldn't need to be traveling far if you wanted to go out anyway. | 0 |

1ctuvdq | The article makes it seem like this was a judge’s ruling about the protests in general but if you read far enough it’s just about a couple of protesters who beat some charges against them when they were arrested after being told to nick off.
> Mr Roob and Mr Patterson were in court for charges such as common law assault and assaulting an emergency worker on duty.
> But the judge ruled that the police evidence was inadmissible because 'by their unlawful violence police instigated the response by the accused which underlies the charges they now face'.
> Judge Gaynor said the police had several options to deal with the pair, such as issuing infringement notices or telling them they breaching restrictions and were to be placed under arrest.
