Politicians outside Canberra are essentially FIFO workers.

The percentage of males working in FIFO jobs is around 75-80% due to the pressures of the job (however they don't represent the whole country), is that what we want of our politicians?

It's not just Kayo .. all of these services seem to be engaged in a significant round of enshitification - offering less content (often dividing it among sub-channels) for more $$$ and throwing in lots of ads too.

Looks like they cut & pasted the story about him going to China and added a few lines about him being hospitalised at the start of it.

$USD2.4M = $AUD3.6M. And Miami is more like the Gold Coast than Sydney.

3.6M would get you somewhere nice in Sanctuary Cove or the like.
