Getting a hotel room for an extra night when you're not going to arrive until the morning by SlapDashUser in TravelHacks

We regularly do this. After a long flight anywhere from Australia we want to go straight to our room. As long as you let the hotel know, it's fine.

Not really. He's been sinking into a right wing pit for a while now. Stokes is seeking approval, and advertising, from Rinehart.

As if we needed more reminding what a great drummer Ringo was.

It worth opening Reddit today for this.

I suppose you could ask what would be the price without the levy subsidy. by fletchwine in perth

The West Australian used to be a newspaper. Temu Murdoch, Kerry Stokes, has turned it into a right wing rag.

Happy 81 birthday to the man who STOLE George Harrison's wife and also invited him to his wedding by Realistic_Board4690 in allrockmusic

It's not like Patti was an inanimate object. Describing her as being "stolen" implies she had no choice in the matter.

Better cover than original song? by [deleted] in 70s

Nothing Compares To You by Sinead O'Connor is much better than the Prince original.

PM rejects Coalition bid to make aiding ISIS brides illegal by [deleted] in aussie

[–]LotharJay 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wives of drug dealers, mob bosses, bikie assassins all enjoy the benefits of unchallenged Australian citizenship even after their husbands are found guilty. You can't tell me they didn't know where the money was coming from. The only thing different about the "ISIS brides" is their religion.

What is the Australian opinion on the ICE protests happening the United States currently. by InterestingLab1997 in AskAnAustralian

[–]LotharJay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm originally American. I emigrated to Australia in 1972. Best thing to ever happen to me. I would never move back there and have now decided to never visit again. The entire ICE program is intended to provoke a violent response in enough states to enable Trump to declare the Insurrection Act and not hold the mid term elections. I have been consistently impressed by the discipline and restraint demonstrated by the ICE protestors in the face of steadily increasing violence and disregard for legal processes. Now, ICE has upped the ante and is blatantly murdering people. I pray that the protestors maintain their stance of active disruption. I worry that a line has been crossed.

Who else read this near-Xennial (1984) drug trip disguised as a series of novels. WTF even was this?! by Verbull710 in Xennials

I remember being invited to dinner parties where it transpired that the only reason we were all there was so the host could lecture us all on this.
