Sounds like a great opportunity for AU to further build its film-making cred and grown-up industry by slapping 100% on States-made productions, at the same time as reducing the USA's damaging cultural hegemony. Put that back into local production and it should easily pay for possible losses...

This is all pretty silly - but the wider echoes are funny and interesting. For those above who didn't bother to read the article or even look at the TikTok image (a social media aggregator recently taken over by MAGA in the USA), the SUBWAY employee was a woman, not a man, she did use the c word...

Is this a repeat or the 2nd time Layla Subritzky has 'spoken out'. To make new friends in a new place, you have to take part, and it takes awhile. She's not worth repeating. 15 months in WA and we have a host of new friends and welcoming acquaintances.

Nothing in this article addresses, let alone attempts to explain or even simply cover Hanson's racism, xenophobia, victimising and manipulation of the disenfranchised, warmongering, privatisation pushing, union bashing, anti-environmental stance and general divisiveness, and slavish support for...

Trump's war on the world, including Americans.

And if the power supply is out, say in a bushfire or flood, and the mobile tracking device is flat (my partner's often is)? Bloody idiots! I'm so sick of mobile devices being crammed full of everything, and no alternative access. They are THE most vulnerable part of the network re crime.

That's Oxycodone and it's extremely addictive.

It's time AU applied to join BRICS and left the monetary and military rule of the world's greatest warmongers.

They really need to open up donor centres in more country areas and not just rely on the occasional bus visit. It's an hour and a half (on a good day) to our nearest donor centre, but there's a hospital in our town and a larger one in the nearest city 45 minutes away. Clearly funds need to be...

In its 85-year history, Meanjin has published the likes of David Malouf, Helen Garner, Les Murray, Judith Wright, and Nobel Prize winner Patrick White. The journal has a 100K grant from Creative AU towards publication for the next 2 years, despite the UoM threat. The award-winning WA novelist...

Michel's and Brumby's. Is it the times? Seems like RFG just don't know how to run a bakery chain.

No, dear 7777, I haven't forgotten as no school I attended ever had awards or certificates, though regularly topping the class in most subjects may have made me smug at times.

1p in 1930 is apparently equivalent to $1.03 today in Oz, so if it's twice that and half the size, cacao must be waay more expensive.

Never heard of it in WA. Must've been the Millenials and Gen Z. They seemed to get certificates for simply being alive.
