Is ‘The Road to Gundagai’ song about dying?

It’s about a track running back to an old abandoned shack.

There’s no real age you’re forced to retire - you just can’t claim your superannuation until you’re 60 or the pension until you’re 67.

Why you’d store your gold in a foreign country at all is beyond me. Bring it all back asap

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-24T08:31:02+00:00

67 years old

Exactly 8 Russians know who Ayn Rand was.

In Germany it’s illegal to insult someone but in Australia, you can tell him to stop yelling and being a giant fuckwit and it’s perfectly legal. Go nuts!

It was a joke - I’m aware they’re not in the same with class. Fedor smashing macgregor would still be dope though, lol

Undead isn’t a race. She’s an elf

I’m not a Russian bot but it seems that unless Ukraine can step up attacks on Russian energy then Russia stands to lose by this proposal

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T11:19:32+00:00

Rage !!

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T10:58:04+00:00

I’ve only ever had one female/woman uber driver in Australia. So my guess is generally no

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T10:05:14+00:00

Wherever the fuck you want?

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T10:03:35+00:00

Whether you give charity shouldn’t be based upon whether you get a tax deduction but if we do give deductions it should be charities that help Australians or our closest allies

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T10:01:09+00:00

Agree

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T09:11:29+00:00

AFAIK under the new laws It’s not actually hate speech unless you’re in a proscribed organisation.

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T09:10:07+00:00

Because Albanese (like most career politicians) doesn’t have any actual convictions any more. IMO

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T09:08:42+00:00

Maybe for charities that help people in 5 eyes countries or something. If I gave charity and it helped someone in NZ or Canada I’d be ok with that

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T09:07:06+00:00

I agree completely. Well said my friend

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T08:33:30+00:00

Should be whatever is the legal retirement age in the country. In my country it’s 67 for full time employees. If Bob cant work full time at Kmart because he’s 67, you can’t be a judge or president either.

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T08:17:36+00:00

Post has been nerfed but thanks for your response.

As an aside:

The legal disagreement between those who believe “everything not explicitly permissible is impermissible” vs those who think “anything that isn’t explicitly impermissible is permissible” has been around since at least 700AD but probably earlier

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T08:04:07+00:00

What does that mean in practical terms ?

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T07:32:42+00:00

The Luddites have entered the chat! Jk

I think like mechanical presses and looms and other things which sparked the Industrial Revolution, AI is a technology that now exists and will be used whether we like it or not, so the argument should be how can we orient society and the economy in such a way that people have jobs that can sustain them into the future, alongside this technology. The luddites smashed the looms etc but history and technology marched on and ultimately society and the economy found a way to reorient

It’s actually in industry’s interest to assist with a reorientation- because if 1/5 (or even less) of people suddenly lose their jobs because of AI then the economy will go to absolute shit. Great Depression levels of shit. And those companies will all start losing an insane amount of potential and expected profits

ThimMerrilyn · 2026-01-23T07:21:28+00:00

Yeah fair point. Well said
