So sick of pizza and burgers ruling almost every menu these days.

All insurance should be opt-in.

Agreed. High profilers usually do. Whether the study was authoritative or not, can't say, but Tim Wilson LNP, with whom I have little sympathy, who mentioned being reduced to a 'foetal ball' when he lost to Zoe Daniel last election, appears to have recovered and soon spoke about starting his own...

Since 2004 there have been no parliamentary pensions. There are only 4 federal parliamentarians left who will receive pensions via the old scheme. There is a compulsory 16-20% contribution super scheme. On leaving they are eligible for a resettlement allowance, up to $105K (6 months salary...

What we're talking about here is Labor's efforts to attempt to repair the public service i.e. repair our govt after years of disastrous economic mismanagement, misplaced ideological straitjacketing and sheer corruption masquerading as privatisation by the LNP, big media and our oligarchs. Out of...

Cer park to school. That can only be regarded as a good thing.

That's not the east coast, it's the south coast, the great Southern Ocean to Antarctica. It should be the world's cleanest ocean.

More balls than any of them. Why is my t-shirt more offensive to our prime minister than a 50-year assault on democracy? - from Crikey The boy who lived in public housing comes to die on a corporately owned hill. Grace Tame Jan 29, 2025...

If Ms Tame wants to have sex with, I presume, Rupert Murdoch, that's her prerogative, but she could show better taste in her choice of sexual partner. If a hottie like 30yr old Grace shows no sign of ageism for a nonagenarian, I figure the SDC members should applaud her latitude and attitude.

As the article mentions, the gov gave an acknowledgement of country, not a welcome to country. Only a local indigenous person can do a welcome. I kinda like 'em either way. It's spiritual and meaningful when you look into it. See this article...

Haven't watched Murdoch's Channel 9 in decades. Yep, he doesn't own it any more but that leopard doesn't change its spots. Shock jocks like Jones and worse, Sandilands, also on the Murdoch teat, are just looking for clickbait, like those who work this forum. Australia would be a better place...

With 220 EOs in his 1st term and 33 so far this round, Trump sits at 17th place in number of EOs. Franklin D Roosevelt is far out in front with 3021, starting a huge rise in EOs for awhile. One-third of Trump's were blocked in his 1st term by Congress or courts, with many more then revoked by...

Perhaps he may influence those in Israel and USA too: https://poetryarchive.org/poem/ceasefire/

Cabanas and igloos are sensible and I'd way prefer to see them than 4WDs on the beach.

Farmers market and Coles weekly. Aldi when we can (50k). Woolies is the closest just up out street but rarely use it due to their dreadful pokies policies and their continuing advertising on that sexist creep Sandilands radio show. Spud Shed is an interesting alternative (17 stores) but its 2.5...

Ah, Mr Benjamin. I saw him in 34 of his 108 screen shows from the 60s into the Noughties, some of them iconic. As to theatre and radio, looks like even more, and one tour of Australia! Missed that. A fabulous run. As to Mr Sykes, an auspicious part in iconic bands, but can't say I enjoyed metal...

Why don't they just buy an alarm clock? Much more reliable (and cheaper) than Apple.

If you have any Bluetooth device connected, you are being tracked. If it has a microphone or camera, like many current domestic goods, you or your environs are being recorded. All that data is being sold. 'Robot' vacuum cleaners casing apartments was a case in point. For most, it's not a worry...
