1cwcd9r	It’s no surprise Albo, Allen and Andrews went to the private Katy Perry concert at Pratt’s mansion. The same location that hosted illegal family gatherings during Covid and were left untouched by Vicpol. Apparently Covid can tell if you’re rich, or so Andrews thinks. And Pratt had a $4000 a head fundraiser for Andrews last election, while they were in for a $500 million recycling contract. At least Vic Labor is open about its’ conflicts and profits handsomely from them.	1

What’s even more amusing is that d’Arbrera attempts to describe the current curriculum as something terrible when it sounds… fine.

1d3w59e	I’m all for a human rights charter, however I am cynical that it would actually make any difference in many of these types of cases. Robodebt was already unjustifiable under our current legal system, or even under the most basic level of scrutiny. This is why the state is now up for huge sums in compensation for the wholly foreseeable harms it caused. The problem we face is that ministers are willing to breach the laws for short term electoral gains. Being able to claim a balanced budget when they know full well that it was going to swing back and hit us in the chin after the next election cycle, but they did it anyway because that was future Australia’s problem. Doubling down on extrajudicial sentencing after the high court has already ruled it out, shows that the bastardry is bipartisan. If robodebt and asylum seeker policy is anything to go by, the electorate is completely unwilling to hold these bastards accountable, because we collectively have the memory of a goldfish in low oxygen water. It’s not just a matter of time before it happens again, as the same income averaging is being used today - they are currently using it to claim vexatious debts from my mother who died 2 and a half years ago.	1
1d3rblp	Bolognese. Stroganoff. Other rice and pasta based dishes. Marinara seafood mix goes a \long\ way. Obviously mince/pasta sauces/etc do too. You could even go the whole hog -- spend $40, and use that extra $20 to buy ingredients to make your own sauces and store them for ages. I buy cheap frozen meals because they're like fucking $3 a pop for cheap brands and can be used to stretch out your other ingredients in a very cost effective way. The meat in them is rarely the best cut, but when you've got your own chicken breast etc to stretch them out -- it's very, very cost effective.	0
1d13itp	Yes. It’s a great show for 2-8 year olds. It’s also more tolerable for adults than most children’s programs. It’s on ABC iview which means that Australian residents can stream on demand anytime for free.

1d2emnt	Trans are always unreliable and the PtV app is waaaaayyy too optimistic. Thinking that you can get through on a 4 minute connection or something. As if they aren’t continually running off scheduled times. They get held up by traffic, the passenger load is unpredictable. The passengers are unreliable. Sometimes there’s a million people every stop takes 3 minutes to load/unload. Sometimes there are none and they fly through the stops. Sometimes there are people trying to bring a shopping trolley onto the tram and then the tram driver needs to have an argument. And then the passenger eventually agrees to unload their trolley and shouts at everyone to help them. And then the passenger starts huffing and hurling abuse. And then the tram driver has to stop again to ask them to stop. And then the driver has to call the cops. And then the driver maybe feels a little bad for calling the cops maybe and warns the passenger to get off at next stop because the cops will be waiting at the one after that. And then the passenger has to wrestle 10 bags off the tram. And all that takes time. And in the meantime, I missed my train.	0

1d5bkeu	I’ve been to Paris and (some decades ago), Shanghai. The main takeaway I have, and I’d assume the same for Berlin is that we’re talking densely populated cities which actually have cycling infrastructure physically seperate from vehicular lanes, and certainly in Paris, the streets are narrow so cars are not travelling at speed. It’s the direct opposite of here where cars travel at speed on the same roads as bikes. I’d love to cycle more places, but bike helmets aren’t putting me off, it’s the lack of a safe cycling route that won’t leave me on a bike at the mercy of a dickhead in an unnecessary 4WD and potentially dead or brain damaged. Fix the infrastructure and maybe then we look at helmets.	1

1d3eybn	If you're working full time on that kind of wage and not trying to save money you'll be just fine. Out of pocket healthwise you might be paying a gap at the GP (about 20-60) or at a specialist (more varied), depending on which state you are in you may want to purchase ambulance cover to avoid being charge for an ambulance ride should you need one (cover is very cheap, typically under 200p/a but a single ride is also cheap, under 2k). Hobedtly if you are healthy there is a good chance you'll only fork out for twice yearly dental cleans and ambulance cover which amounts to about $500-700. Alcohol and cigarettes are heavily taxed so very expensive but food isn't too expensive, eating out is pretty cheap compared to other countries. Car are very expensive. Fuel is pretty cheap.	0

1d4qkqz	There is no extra leave after night shift. The traditional pattern has been to take rest days from one fortnight and put them with the usual four rest days in the next fortnight to have six consecutive days off after working 7 night shifts followed by two AM or PM shifts but those days aren't 'extra leave'. Since 2011 there has been a recovery day after night shift so that people finishing a 7am on a Sunday aren't required to come back to work at 3pm the same day but that's hardly 'extra leave' either.	1

1d0p5nx	He claimed that by “rebalancing the migration program … the Coalition would free up almost 40,000 additional homes in the first year. And well over 100,000 homes in the next five years.” How this number was calculated, he didn’t say. It appeared all the more dubious given his Fordham interview suggested Dutton did not know which migration numbers applied to which year, and given the big discrepancy between him and his treasury spokesman over the size of the cuts. There is, in any case, reason to question the extent to which migration numbers affect the cost of buying or renting a home. During the Covid lockdowns, when Australia’s borders were closed and net migrant numbers fell to zero, prices continued to rise rapidly. According to modelling from the Grattan Institute, high migration does have some effect on housing costs. For every 100,000 above the long-term average, rents rise about 1 per cent. Thus last year, by this estimate, Australia’s record number of migrants probably pushed them up about 3 per cent. But, says Trent Wiltshire, Grattan’s deputy director of migration and labour markets, “asking rents have been rising 10 per cent a year. So it’s a factor, but certainly not the driving factor.” Migrants bring economic benefits as well as costs. Based on the rather sketchy information provided by Dutton, says Wiltshire, “it looks like there would be a decline in skilled migration of around 135,000 over the next four years, compared to the existing skilled migration intake. “Such a reduction would mean the lifetime fiscal cost from these skilled migrants not being here would be $34 billion.” With all due respect to Grattan, it is very hard to assess precisely what the economic consequences of Dutton’s proposed cuts would be, because so little detail has been provided about exactly where they would fall. What is clear is that for more than a year, Dutton and other members of the Coalition have been fanning public concerns about the number of migrants coming to Australia, and blaming the Labor government for the influx. This is simply not true, policy experts say. In fact, the explosion in NOM was substantially a consequence of decisions made by the previous Coalition government in response to the pandemic. In the 2019 budget, the last before the pandemic, NOM was forecast to be about 270,000, a little above the long-term average. Instead, because of Covid, it plunged close to zero for two years. When the borders reopened, the Morrison government made a series of panicked decisions aimed at encouraging workers, and particularly overseas students, to return. “In 2021-22 the Coalition government introduced extraordinary policies to boost … numbers,” says Abul Rizvi, a former deputy secretary of the Department of Immigration. “Policies such as unlimited work rights for students, fee-free student and working holiday-maker applications and a special Covid visa. “The message to industry was to go forth and expand as rapidly as possible and hang the consequences. So it did. Not only did universities go berserk recruiting as many students as they could, but private providers also boomed as the regulators were in no position to police quality. It was like an unregulated gold rush,” says Rizvi. The changes amounted to an attempt to undo the damage caused by the Coalition government’s shabby treatment of overseas students when Covid hit, says Phil Honeywood, chief executive of the International Education Association of Australia. In contrast with countries such as Britain and Canada, which provided support for overseas students to stay, “Scott Morrison told students to just go home,” says Honeywood. “That caused incredible damage to Australia’s reputation as a safe, welcoming study destination country.	0

1d60hbf	My concept bar involves me walking to the local bottle shop, becoming dismayed at the poor selection, settling on the least bad option before returning home and sitting on the lounge trying to enjoy myself, watching bad youtube content and listening to music. You have to cook and serve your own food, which usually involves a small convection oven / air fryer and frozen foods - with the possibility of burning yourself on the rack after one too many. It's super immersive and realistic, and just as social as the local bars I've been to. Haven't decided on a name yet.	1

I asked him what he’s doing for work as he used to be self employed but went under during Covid lockdowns. Got a job on the Big Build coz he grew up in Melb back in the day and has CFMEU contacts. Zero qualifications or trade - he told me that. $140k a year. I asked him what he does and “nothing, I do nothimg” is the exact reply. When pressed for better details he said he technically supervises someone but he said because that person/people do nothing he considers himself to do nothing. Welcome to Victoria. And wait for the Union clowns to tell us how dangerous it is or defend this nonsense. I dunno why the teachers, cops, nurses, aged care workers etc etc haven’t twigged to where all their hard earned taxes are going. lol.	1

We didn't gamble $400b of public funding on finding and operating these gas fields so why should we get a similar level of benefit? We stole it from East Timor, we funded forged hydrographic surveys to facilitate this. And what little we left them we forced them to accept our dodgy royalty contracts too.	1

1d3rblp	Spaghetti bolognaise - $6ish for 500g of mince, $2-3 for a jar of sauce, 50c worth of pasta, serves 4 people ($2,50 per serving). If you buy more mince in bulk and more pasta in bulk and make your own sauce it can be as little as $1 per serving. Buy cheap cuts of meat, cut it up yourself, fry it up with some soy sauce, onions, garlic, a few handfuls of cooked rice, some chopped carrots and beans, crack an egg in towards the end, you've got yourself a quick and easy fried-rice analogue with some more protein and decent flavour, should cost around $2 per person.	0

It's not a naturally evolved suburb. Suburbs grow to work with their inhabitants, and gain a character over the years of being lived in. Docklands is a big concrete shopping center.

I’m all for a human rights charter, however I am cynical that it would actually make any difference in many of these types of cases. Robodebt was already unjustifiable under our current legal system, or even under the most basic level of scrutiny. This is why the state is now up for huge sums in compensation for the wholly foreseeable harms it caused. The problem we face is that ministers are willing to breach the laws for short term electoral gains. Being able to claim a balanced budget when they know full well that it was going to swing back and hit us in the chin after the next election cycle, but they did it anyway because that was future Australia’s problem. Doubling down on extrajudicial sentencing after the high court has already ruled it out, shows that the bastardry is bipartisan. If robodebt and asylum seeker policy is anything to go by, the electorate is completely unwilling to hold these bastards accountable, because we collectively have the memory of a goldfish in low oxygen water. It’s not just a matter of time before it happens again, as the same income averaging is being used today - they are currently using it to claim vexatious debts from my mother who died 2 and a half years ago.

Bolognese. Stroganoff. Other rice and pasta based dishes. Marinara seafood mix goes a \*long\* way. Obviously mince/pasta sauces/etc do too. You could even go the whole hog -- spend $40, and use that extra $20 to buy ingredients to make your own sauces and store them for ages. I buy cheap frozen meals because they're like fucking $3 a pop for cheap brands and can be used to stretch out your other ingredients in a very cost effective way. The meat in them is rarely the best cut, but when you've got your own chicken breast etc to stretch them out -- it's very, very cost effective.

Yes. It’s a great show for 2-8 year olds. It’s also more tolerable for adults than most children’s programs. It’s on ABC iview which means that Australian residents can stream on demand anytime for free. As an Australian it makes me proud because the show is quintessentially Australian without drawing upon stereotypes, tropes or being condescending.

Trans are always unreliable and the PtV app is *waaaaayyy* too optimistic. Thinking that you can get through on a 4 minute connection or something. As if they aren’t continually running off scheduled times. They get held up by traffic, the passenger load is unpredictable. The passengers are unreliable. Sometimes there’s a million people every stop takes 3 minutes to load/unload. Sometimes there are none and they fly through the stops. Sometimes there are people trying to bring a shopping trolley onto the tram and then the tram driver needs to have an argument. And then the passenger eventually agrees to unload their trolley and shouts at everyone to help them. And then the passenger starts huffing and hurling abuse. And then the tram driver has to stop again to ask them to stop. And then the driver has to call the cops. And then the driver maybe feels a little bad for calling the cops maybe and warns the passenger to get off at next stop because the cops will be waiting at the one after that. And then the passenger has to wrestle 10 bags off the tram. And all that takes time. And in the meantime, I missed my train.

I’ve been to Paris and (some decades ago), Shanghai. The main takeaway I have, and I’d assume the same for Berlin is that we’re talking densely populated cities which actually have cycling infrastructure physically seperate from vehicular lanes, and certainly in Paris, the streets are narrow so cars are not travelling at speed. It’s the direct opposite of here where cars travel at speed on the same roads as bikes. I’d love to cycle more places, but bike helmets aren’t putting me off, it’s the lack of a safe cycling route that won’t leave me on a bike at the mercy of a dickhead in an unnecessary 4WD and potentially dead or brain damaged. Fix the infrastructure and maybe then we look at helmets.

If you're working full time on that kind of wage and not trying to save money you'll be just fine. Out of pocket healthwise you might be paying a gap at the GP (about 20-60) or at a specialist (more varied), depending on which state you are in you may want to purchase ambulance cover to avoid being charge for an ambulance ride should you need one (cover is very cheap, typically under 200p/a but a single ride is also cheap, under 2k). Hobedtly if you are healthy there is a good chance you'll only fork out for twice yearly dental cleans and ambulance cover which amounts to about $500-700. Alcohol and cigarettes are heavily taxed so very expensive but food isn't too expensive, eating out is pretty cheap compared to other countries. Car are very expensive. Fuel is pretty cheap.

There is no extra leave after night shift. The traditional pattern has been to take rest days from one fortnight and put them with the usual four rest days in the next fortnight to have six consecutive days off after working 7 night shifts followed by two AM or PM shifts but those days aren't 'extra leave'. Since 2011 there has been a recovery day after night shift so that people finishing a 7am on a Sunday aren't required to come back to work at 3pm the same day but that's hardly 'extra leave' either.

He claimed that by “rebalancing the migration program … the Coalition would free up almost 40,000 additional homes in the first year. And well over 100,000 homes in the next five years.” How this number was calculated, he didn’t say. It appeared all the more dubious given his Fordham interview suggested Dutton did not know which migration numbers applied to which year, and given the big discrepancy between him and his treasury spokesman over the size of the cuts. There is, in any case, reason to question the extent to which migration numbers affect the cost of buying or renting a home. During the Covid lockdowns, when Australia’s borders were closed and net migrant numbers fell to zero, prices continued to rise rapidly. According to modelling from the Grattan Institute, high migration does have some effect on housing costs. For every 100,000 above the long-term average, rents rise about 1 per cent. Thus last year, by this estimate, Australia’s record number of migrants probably pushed them up about 3 per cent. But, says Trent Wiltshire, Grattan’s deputy director of migration and labour markets, “asking rents have been rising 10 per cent a year. So it’s a factor, but certainly not the driving factor.” Migrants bring economic benefits as well as costs. Based on the rather sketchy information provided by Dutton, says Wiltshire, “it looks like there would be a decline in skilled migration of around 135,000 over the next four years, compared to the existing skilled migration intake. “Such a reduction would mean the lifetime fiscal cost from these skilled migrants not being here would be $34 billion.” With all due respect to Grattan, it is very hard to assess precisely what the economic consequences of Dutton’s proposed cuts would be, because so little detail has been provided about exactly where they would fall. What is clear is that for more than a year, Dutton and other members of the Coalition have been fanning public concerns about the number of migrants coming to Australia, and blaming the Labor government for the influx. This is simply not true, policy experts say. In fact, the explosion in NOM was substantially a consequence of decisions made by the previous Coalition government in response to the pandemic. In the 2019 budget, the last before the pandemic, NOM was forecast to be about 270,000, a little above the long-term average. Instead, because of Covid, it plunged close to zero for two years. When the borders reopened, the Morrison government made a series of panicked decisions aimed at encouraging workers, and particularly overseas students, to return. “In 2021-22 the Coalition government introduced extraordinary policies to boost … numbers,” says Abul Rizvi, a former deputy secretary of the Department of Immigration. “Policies such as unlimited work rights for students, fee-free student and working holiday-maker applications and a special Covid visa. “The message to industry was to go forth and expand as rapidly as possible and hang the consequences. So it did. Not only did universities go berserk recruiting as many students as they could, but private providers also boomed as the regulators were in no position to police quality. It was like an unregulated gold rush,” says Rizvi. The changes amounted to an attempt to undo the damage caused by the Coalition government’s shabby treatment of overseas students when Covid hit, says Phil Honeywood, chief executive of the International Education Association of Australia. In contrast with countries such as Britain and Canada, which provided support for overseas students to stay, “Scott Morrison told students to just go home,” says Honeywood. “That caused incredible damage to Australia’s reputation as a safe, welcoming study destination country.

My concept bar involves me walking to the local bottle shop, becoming dismayed at the poor selection, settling on the least bad option before returning home and sitting on the lounge trying to enjoy myself, watching bad youtube content and listening to music. You have to cook and serve your own food, which usually involves a small convection oven / air fryer and frozen foods - with the possibility of burning yourself on the rack after one too many. It's super immersive and realistic, and just as social as the local bars I've been to. Haven't decided on a name yet.

That’s like the bloke I bumped into a fortnight ago I used to play footy with. He’s moved to Melb. I asked him what he’s doing for work as he used to be self employed but went under during Covid lockdowns. Got a job on the Big Build coz he grew up in Melb back in the day and has CFMEU contacts. Zero qualifications or trade - he told me that. $140k a year. I asked him what he does and “nothing, I do nothimg” is the exact reply. When pressed for better details he said he technically supervises someone but he said because that person/people do nothing he considers himself to do nothing. Welcome to Victoria. And wait for the Union clowns to tell us how dangerous it is or defend this nonsense. I dunno why the teachers, cops, nurses, aged care workers etc etc haven’t twigged to where all their hard earned taxes are going. lol.

Because the government insisted on royalty contracts that had very generous terms for their mates in the industry. >instead of older, inefficient, royalty regime. why is old bad and why is proper compensation inefficient? >Public funding was invested in discovery and operation of their gas projects and now they reap the rewards. We didn't gamble $400b of public funding on finding and operating these gas fields so why should we get a similar level of benefit? We stole it from East Timor, we funded forged hydrographic surveys to facilitate this. And what little we left them we forced them to accept our dodgy royalty contracts too.

Spaghetti bolognaise - $6ish for 500g of mince, $2-3 for a jar of sauce, 50c worth of pasta, serves 4 people ($2,50 per serving). If you buy more mince in bulk and more pasta in bulk and make your own sauce it can be as little as $1 per serving. Buy cheap cuts of meat, cut it up yourself, fry it up with some soy sauce, onions, garlic, a few handfuls of cooked rice, some chopped carrots and beans, crack an egg in towards the end, you've got yourself a quick and easy fried-rice analogue with some more protein and decent flavour, should cost around $2 per person.
