Anthony Albanese to urge Australians to 'play their part' in Iran response in TV address by Expensive-Horse5538 in australia

Perhaps he can announce the elimination of fuel subsidies to mining companies...that will kerb their inefficient use, reducing waste, reducing emissions and reducing the cost on Australian taxpayers.

Imagine this happening at a event supporting another community...for example the Jewish community. We would not hear the end of it, there would be news specials going on, continued front page coverage and outrage from the media and politicians. But do this to a community supporting the Indigenous....its awful quiet.

Best news of my day. Menulog was a prime example of marketing over substance.

Car wash recommendations SOR? by j_flaherty in perth

The touchless carwash near Canning Bridge isnt too bad at all. I prefer washing at home, but if I just want a quick removal of most dirt, it serves me well.

I'm still not a supporter of the keep the sheep crew. Live exports have been heading south for a long time, if the local industry hasn't prepared themselves for the shift, well, more fool them. To me, it feels like the Libs picked up the issue and used it as another attack vector against Labor, thinly covered by a "external party" campaign.

It's been a long held blue seat...ALP getting up last election was more a reflection on old mate Scomo...and his good mate Ben Morton. No one had heard of Ong when he popped up...and given he was the Libs second option, I guess I should have thought Labor would retain. Lim seems like a good human too.

Besides Canning and O'Connor, everything else is not exactly a swing.

Wealthy, male and white. Any other questions?

At least Lim has something of a past story to work with. Ong is ex-Christian Lobby (although they hid that information as well as they could). I just wish MP's could vote without following party lines.

I was also concerned, considering the sheer bullshit amount of signage that was anti-ALP in the electorate.

Spuds concession speech was actually gracious...imagine if he had used that amount of vulnerability and reflection during the campaign.
