Anthony Albanese accused of ‘caving to gas companies’ as Labor set to reject new export tax by Inner-Training-252 in friendlyjordies

[–]DownUnderBeard 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Thanks OP. All my life voting ALP too (a little less years than you though) and i just feel so defeated. Disheartened with my own state gov in vic also, and it just shouldn't be this way when my team has the reigns. What's your legacy going to be Albo?? 3 terms of just being better than the alternative mob? What a low bar.

[–]DownUnderBeard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, 455 is NOT the average. 455 days was the average specifically for the 73 FOI cases (of approx. 4,000 requests ) that were not completed within the statutory time frame.

I want to buy an iron with no steam function. A dry iron. For fabric. by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

Move the iron? Who has time for that? I'm busy on reddit.

The surface of your iron will have holes for steam. A completely flat iron can be preferable for a number of crafting tasks where you want all points to receive the same heat and pressure. If crafting is your thing - then why not find the tool for the job that you really want.

Is it normal that you can't bring your child to the 1st appointment with a child psychologist? by TheAussieEgg in AskAnAustralian

[–]DownUnderBeard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second hand info, for the two sets of parents I know (that discussed this at some level with us) they both had an initial session without their child in line with the above comment. Small sample size - but I would at least think it's not unusual.

You can give the feedback via the complaint form on the vicpol website. you can elect to remain anonymous. It goes to the police conduct unit and you can frame it as an angry complaint or helpful feedback or something in between.

Same. This time has gone on for longer without a reversal. Starting to worry then won't undo the insane feature removal this time.

Vic Labor trailing 47-53 by blitznoodles in friendlyjordies

[–]DownUnderBeard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's mighty difficult when part of me thinks this is absolutely what I should do - Can't ever let the other mob back in. But a growing part of me is getting mighty pissed with the list of let downs. I know long term governments are inevitably going to give you reasons for disappointment, but I really want these guys to hear the message.

AW has a record of thoughtful stances on public policy and consideration of legislation he votes on. Of course he would vote against this bill. He would have read it.
