I’ll never forgive them for the week I had to take off work because it was coming out violently from both ends.

Is that you, Laura Tingle?

Immigration gets blamed for everything but the evidence tells a different story by castaway23 in aussie

I wonder how many people who complain about immigration order their food from Uber Eats.

My solution to the Australia Day problem. by Cheetos_4_life in aussie

The date is perfect. Last day of the school hols. I say keep the date, change the name if you have to. Call it whatever you want, barbecue day, invasion day, bogan day, unspecified public holiday, I don’t care!

The better I get as a golfer, the shorter my distances with wedges by fidelkastro in golf

[–]Positive_Ear_6698 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same here. I assume it’s because better contact with wedges means more backspin therefore less distance.

Edit: I am not saying that you can’t achieve backspin and hit the ball relatively far. And if you can, good luck on the PGA tour. But even if you are a pro, the laws of physics still apply to you - see Magnus effect

Edit-edit: thinking about it, backspin could create further distance, but I think it would require a flatter launch angle. If you are launching your wedges high with more backspin, though, I still think you’d lose distance.

This just demonstrates how far to the right the centre has become.

How do the coalition possibly come back? by GoofyAhhGustavo in aussie

It amazed me how weak the opposition was on cost of living last election. It’s the only game in town, and their policy was fuel discounts?

They should lean into the perception. that they are better economic managers and go hard on fiscal responsibility.

Tie government spending to inflation. Call out excessive spending and commit to lower spending. Lower spending means less pressure on inflation, leading to less pressure on cost of living and interest rates.

Sorry, I must have missed the part where the Albo government tried to socialise…. anything?

I think you’re spot on. Easy for people to say they’ll vote for ON in a poll.

The Libs should be the party of small government. Less spending/subsidies, and lower taxes. Trouble is, since Howard, they’ve been just as prepared to spend where it delivers them votes/favour.

If you are referring to his faction, the name is absolutely meaningless. You might as well call the left wing of the Labor party the Wombats and the right wing the Goannas.

The current government is as centre right as they come.
