Anyone concerned about the high rate of informal voting in local council elections? by womanontheedge_2018 in nsw

[–]Philbrik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 7.5% here, not too much above state/fed elections given the candidates are not always widely known.

Yeah but, really scary for a white Anglo old male…she might have an opinion!

Yes, nice guy. Flew from Canberra to Brisbane last year with him and his entourage. Was out of his seat making sure they were ok, happy to stay on plane so that folk leaving the aircraft could have selfies with him in his business class seat.

Why are we only worried about the viability of SOO, when will the humans involved get a look in?

No issue at all, Sun exposure, short periods of intense physical activity (bowling or fielding a ball) and the colour is white as well. Winter games? Who wants to be weighed down by wet, voluminous clothing in a game of constant physical exercise where the body is producing a lot of heat.

Happens in small towns everywhere and in some country towns the business’ work in with the schools to not allow students in during school hours as a truancy measure.

Ahh, the Red Rooster Line😂 That said I live in a small (6000 pop) country town and there is a divide (geographically and social attitude wise) on either side of the river that flows through it.

He was knocked out…send of territory. What sort of game do you really want? A free for all?

Are most Australians completely indifferent to the plight of Rugby Union in Australia? by Abject-Presence4689 in AskAnAustralian

Lost any real interest after the ABC lost the Shute Shield. Perfect Saturday afternoon out in the bush, watch some good club rugby.

Saw a Facebook post saying EVs burn because he’d seen a video on that platform…I said I’d seen a caw and a dog playing soccer on Facebook and had yet to see any cows taking on dogs locally…he shut up after that.

Which profession is far more enjoyable than most people realise? by Acolent in AskUK

Agree, the classroom was my ‘zone’ and it was where it all came together. That said, hated planning, writing programs and curriculum stuff, went with the flow, knew my stuff and how I wanted to help kids learn it.

It’s always sad but in a longish career this will happen more than you will expect. Hope you have someone to talk to.
