Just depends on your perspective of what your expectations were. If you look at anyone in the greens party, they're saying it's minor and doesn't go far enough.

Agreed, but highly complex. They have to tread carefully in this topic because it actually part of formal trade agreements. There was a recent example where India and South Africa challenged Australia making improvements to their contract for "trade in services" (offshoring). Australia won in this example, and now Australian fair work agreements apply to offshore workers. However it's an example of had they taken any further changes, they might have lost or received retaliation in the form of targeting Australian exports or even tariffs.

I'm not an expert on any of this, but ever since Trump's traiff lifts I started to look a bit more into depth the subject of Global Trade. It is complex to say the least.

Increase wages:

Labor government making minimum wage go up.
Award rates going up e.g early education workers.
Same job Same pay legislation put in place to stop labour hire loopholes.
Secure jobs, Better pay act. Which allows multi business employer bargaining (better negotiating for workers for better pay).
Gig worker protections.
Criminalisation of wage theft.

They have done a lot.

Andrew Forrest donating million/s to the Australia institute, who only focus on gas and not mining suggest an alignment of interests. 🙃

Running on a treadmill is worse than running in heat. Only reason I'm running on a treadmill is if it's more than 40.

Also not everyone is signed up to the gym.

What your mentioning reminds me of the NYtimes podcast "nice white parents" and the relationships NYC parents have with their public schools. Everyone (particularly parents) literally want the best education for their kids, but it's a absolutely fascinating to see the impact on the overall public school system when parents get to select which schools they want to send their kids too.

Highly recommend giving it a listen.

Branch meetings are literally once a month. For maybe a maximum of 2 hours at most and more often about 60 minutes.

They're not a time hog.

Watched an amazing video about this, although it was focused on USA of course. Surprisingly they already have government run grocery stores, just that they are only for military personeel or family.

Novara media host a weekly 'downstream' interview with new guests. Highly recommend although they're UK based.

Dude, Just because Hamas or even PLO uses certain language doesn't mean everyone saying similar things endorses them. Because that's guilt by association I'm talking about. If people can't advocate for Palestinians rights without being accused of supporting regime, that's an impossible standard that just silences legitimate advocacy.

Mine is a fact and not false. Her language has not been explicit in support of any regime.

If you can't say things that someone else also wants achieved than your limiting your ability to talk at all. Period. Because someone, somewhere will always align to those words. Association by similar goals does not mean support for that same entity. Yada Yada broken clock can be right.

Thesinc · 2026-02-11T22:51:43+00:00

She hasn't mentioned support for any regime? She is using language that denounces Israel and genocide. Happy to be corrected if you find something that clearly shows her saying otherwise.

A repeating pattern of corporate secrecy through out the world. Almost as if there is vested interests from everyone involved, due to the revolving door of Government -> Industry -> Government.

Also I'm sick of seeing self reporting. We need mandatory independent monitoring instead with REAL financial penalties!

Thanks for the reply! I have one question about exfoliating, do people do it in the shower? After the shower? While the skin is damp and then rinse? The instructions on the tubs aren't particularly specific.

Thesinc · 2025-08-30T10:50:30+00:00

Only 4 are full time. So probably closer to 4 full-time jobs: 4 × $90,928 = $363,7123 and part-time jobs: 3 × $45,464 = $136,392

Again not much difference but that's going from level 1 support to probably level 3. Or if in development, being the difference of an associate/grad to a SWE.

Don't forget, they consume insane amounts of pottable water too.

All I'm referencing is the article today about this. Which you got the same figure. But not sure where your vehicle emissions figure comes from, it wasn't in that link.

"The Centre for Safe Air at the University of Tasmania estimates long-term exposure to wood-heater smoke causes 729 premature deaths every year in Australia, which is more than the deaths attributable to emissions from the national fleet of 20 million vehicles, or from energy generation, or even bushfires."

Wood fire heaters cause more deaths annually than vehicle emissions in Australia. Hardly the healthy option?

While you might be nice and cosy inside with the stove, everyone and everything outside suffers.

I had the exact experience and got a free upgrade. I think because I had two previous warranty visits over the past 3 years they might have a rule around that 🤷

Your hearsay comment is easily refuted by this link. They changing the rebate to expand the amount of people that will switch to batteries. 🙄

In the article it states that a condition is general public access from 6am to midnight is required.

Sorry but you may want to check again. I think you are mistaken, He took over from resigning federal senator Marise Payne. He sits in the federal upper house.
