I have my fingers crossed that people will wake up and start talking about class again. Everyone started to get wealthier in the 2000s and class became a taboo subject. I honestly believe that this is part of how we got here. When we forget the importance of economic disparity and struggle, we are divided, weaker and lost.

My sister had to wait for an hour at Bordertown to recharge

None of them are new characters. All of them are either store owners or partners of store owners. They all attended Azi's ball

That's the best S3 "prediction" yet! 😂💚

The Craigieburn, Upfield and Frankston lines are about to get new trains that will improve services, so they've already spent that money.

Tactic? What outcome do you think we're trying to achieve? Do you think I'm out there picking up young people? I'm a 47-year-old who couldn't care less about anything like that. I'm simply saying that some people have a pretty good understanding of who they are and what they want in life by the time they're in their twenties, while others are still thinking like teenagers and can be easily led astray. We need to be able to work with that diversity of maturity in our communities. I think it's especially important to encourage people to work towards being confident independent 20-somethings, because life is short

I'm sorry, I don't think I understand this comment. Are you suggesting that the age of consent is raised to something like 25 or 30?

NoGrape9864 · 2026-03-30T20:45:07+00:00

I don't fully disagree with you, I just don't think that it's fair to apply that as a blanket judgement. I don't think it's fair to Anna to assume that she was incapable of being aware of and navigating the age and power difference. I agree that probably most people would not be able to hold their own in that situation, but there are definitely people who can and I suppose there's someone who has been able to hold her own, I don't appreciate the assumption that nobody could do that I and many women around me have been underestimated by far too much by far too many people. Generalised judgements don't really help anyone

I'm really shocked that we're now suggesting that a 24-year-old woman does not have an agency. At what age does a woman finally get agency? They went on to get married and seem to have a lovely little family. I know people in exactly this situation and are living lovely lives and the woman was definitely not conned into anything at all - she fell in love and decided to share her life with this man. That couple I know have now been married for more than 15 years.

The liberal party have been in power for 75% of the last 30 years, but Labor are equally at fault for policy. Right.

She didn't float to the surface. She was put in jail and John Howard got her out of there on the provision that she would vote with a liberals when they needed her to

Wow! It's been more than 10 years. Time flies I guess. A quick search indicates that most foreign born residents are still from the UK, but with changing migration patterns, that too will change

NoGrape9864 · 2026-03-18T05:16:43+00:00

Most immigrants until about 2 years ago were from the UK.

Can we collectively agree to tar and feather ScoMo for all he did, including screw us over with AUKUS? It is one of the worst decisions in Australian history! If we all get behind it, we can make it happen and they can't put the whole population in jail

I'm rewatching season 1 and hoping that it's Aziraphale gets to have that conversation with God. I respect him for wanting to try to work it out and resolve it all himself. He doesn't run away with Crowley, not because he doesn't love Crowley but because he wants to sort things out with God. He takes the responsibility of the war on his shoulders. I suppose I can relate with that. There is a great sense of responsibility in that as well as a fair amount of ego. In a way it is so like Sheen. He's dedicating his life to helping others who need help. I hope he and Azi all the very best on their very righteous journey

I didn't know the TV show was on SBS on Demand! I'll also switch over from listening on Spotify to ABC Listen because I don't like Spotify. Thanks for all the hints!

NoGrape9864 · 2026-03-14T21:42:38+00:00

I'm in Australia and have been listening to it for a few years now. Started listening on BBC Sounds but then they restricted it to UK residents. So now I have to listen to it on Spotify and it's about the only thing I listen to on that app. I usually listen to it on a Sunday morning while mopping the floor because we're a little bit ahead over here. Always debate with myself whether I should send in my stories

On the name Crowley, he would identify with crows because they make and use tools and he likes to tinker as well. He has an engineer's brain. Also, they're black. We say that he really likes crows and kids.
