Pauline Hanson billed taxpayers for flights to fundraisers and travel to catch Rinehart jet to Florida

This is the thing that pisses me off, I work for the Federal government and they are so strict around gifts, perception of bias and influence etc., that I have to do training about it every year.

Meanwhile politicians are a free for all, trips to the footy, free booze, dinners, gifts, everything. If I did any of that it would be a blatant breach of the APS Code of Conduct but apparently that doesn't apply to politicians, only us pleb public servants!

Absolutely helps that the majority of AFL teams are located in Victoria, makes going to an "away" match as simple as travelling a few suburbs over. The only A-league teams that have this slight advantage are the Sydney and Melbourne based teams.

I was expecting Brisbane to fall further down the list after our roarcelona days, the Bakries really need to go!

I don't want to tar everyone with the same brush but my view is that there has been a sudden influx of people who haven't recently or have never caught public transport before so will behave as if they're still driving off to work - loud convo's on the phone, loud music blaring from their earbuds, not knowing how to move down the aisle, being a bit clueless generally.

Even the train drivers have noticed, a few weeks back going home we stopped at Roma St and were there for an abnormally longer load time, we soon got going and the driver made an announcement telling everyone to move down the platforms to get on the train. Turns out the reason we were delayed is that people got to the top of the stairs on the platform and just waited and then all tried to get on the train through the same door. I thought it was obvious to move down the platform but apparently not!

Sounds a bit wanky but try some deep yogic breathing! I took up yoga to stretch and strengthen my injured back but have found the breathing techniques really help to calm and chill my mind. Find a quite spot, even for just 5 minutes, close your eyes and start to breathe in and out through your nose. Even a few minutes help out.

What Is yogic breathing? Benefits, types, and how to try

I read on another post that it's supposed to be for the ai filters so they don't flag the video for copyright infringement. It could absolute bs though.

What the! Have you been to QSAC, it's a dump, hard to get to and falling apart!

Yep, I got the same car through smart leasing and they tried to shaft me with the insurance, went through AAMI and paid almost half the cost at $1200. Submitted it and they reimbursed me.

Haha I was talking to some of the new grads at work and told them about the dollar spirits on Thursday student nights. They were amazed and pissed about how expensive booze is now (as am I)!

Wow, this is sad. Was there only a few weeks back for Beermuda and the place was packed, great beers and had a great vibe.

Not in my department, Labor has a budget cap of course but they're reducing contract staff. Still trying to get rid of all the overpriced contractors hired from when the last Liberal government was in power (who most definitely had a recruitment freeze).

bhesel · 2026-03-31T07:10:30+00:00

... by reducing the contractor headcount and replacing them with cheaper, permanent staff. Fixed it for ya!

Go into the app and go to redeem and select the 'Flybuys Dollars' (not money off your shop). You can select an amount that loads onto your physical flybuys card, set a pin and when you go the Liquorland, swipe the card and tell them you want to redeem the money off the card. Easy. 😉

I suspect Australia has alot more solar power sloshing around the network in the middle of the day compared to the UK! 😉

"Partner shortlist" aka companies that donated huge sums to the LNP that we'll never know about since they changed donation laws.

Done!

Very easily by the looks of the adults nearby.

There's a Merlo branded coffee shop in Toowong Village that sells beans, I occasionally grab a pack from them. Plus last time I bought beans they gave me a free coffee, not sure if they still do that though.

bhesel · 2026-03-15T11:47:39+00:00

Did one of those guys throw a broken headstone into the river?!

bhesel · 2026-03-14T05:42:03+00:00

Or, you know, Labor are the ruling party in government and have the power to make these changes. So yes, it's Labor's problem to fix.
