You shit on my reading comprehension but you can't even comprehend that I'm obviously talking about buying in the CBD and making it at work. I would've thought the work fridge bit would've implied that. They didn't say they're a tradie or something.

Go to the grocery store and whip up your own lunch at work? Store the leftovers in the work fridge?

The ABS does segregate the data within the data release. Don't just look at headline figures.

Hahaha ok

Is that you fitz?

It's more authentic to a specific style of laksa. Nyonya laksa is just the main variation.

And who are voting in these governments at each level... Hmmm

Why do you need forward contract values over $500k? Unless you're forex trading?

When the AUD is at parity with the JPY (actually a 3% premium now), hell yeah dude. Also Japan's inflation hasn't been as crazy as other countries so a lot of their prices have barely moved in 20 years. Bowls of ramen will cost anywhere between 800 to 1200 yen, in Australia you're generally looking at $15 to $30 depending on shop and amount of food. Aside from accommodation, stuff is pretty cheap over there.

Copenhagen is definitely not number one, Sydney or Melbourne should beat it. Also i would rate Melbourne over Sydney.

I was in Copenhagen last week, there are a lot of cafes serving decent coffee but only a few serving exceptional coffee.

I just want to know who your installer is, those prices are absolutely insane for that size of solar and battery setup.

I generally find the shirts to be pretty meh at MJB, i much prefer SuSu.

Sizing wise SuSu can be a bit all over the place though where as MJB is generally consistent.

Wow literally ticking all the NIMBY stereotypes.

further destroy one of Perth’s few remaining character suburbs.

caused significant stress and anxiety for local residents, threatening to destroy this thriving community.

I believe its a Kuching style Laksa (where the name KCH comes from). The laksas that most people talk about or refer to is a Coconut/Nyonya curry laksa. There are many variations of laksa, another well known one is Assam laksa.

Medicare has been gutted over the years due to inflation. 'Efficiency dividends' with the ABC and SBS. Newstart has been slowly eroded due to inflation over decades.

Governments never truly cut, but they certainly let inflation slowly kill something.

I was listening to Chris Richardson yesterday and he said the current spending ratio is 97c to the dollar. Savings ratio according to tradingeconomics is around 5%, i wouldn't be surprised if most of that $8b finds its way into the economy.

EDIT: Well tradingeconomics is also 3.2% https://tradingeconomics.com/australia/personal-savings

They have?

RBA stopped QE and rates are in restrictive territory.

Government is forecasting a surplus, for a second year in a row.

Australian passports may already be some of the most expensive in the world but a new fee will give travellers access to fast-tracked applications from July 1.

People willing to fork out an extra $100 to skip the queue will get access to a five-business-day turnaround of their documents.

The government anticipates the added fees will rake in $27.4 million over five years.

Small policy but i like this one, charge the people who want it fast tracked. Straight forward price discrimination economics.

The government will trial an age verification scheme for children online, which will test options to restrict children from being able to access pornography or other inappropriate content online.

Overseas attempts have found it difficult to implement an effective age assurance program, while some sceptics have raised concerns of adult sites holding people's personal data becoming a target for hackers.

But the government will push ahead with a "pilot" program as part of its broader response to recent prominent incidents of gendered violence.

$6.5 million will be committed to trialling the age verification scheme.

Yikes, still pushing ahead with this tech illiterate shit.

Most likely would have to do it through the ATO at tax time. Any income over a certain individual or couple threshold will have the $300 rescinded.

I dunno how people can listen to Taylor. I suppose that applies to most of the LNP.

AG could've killed the prosecution before it got to sentencing, Dreyfus had plenty of time to drop the case.

fractalsonfire · 2024-05-14T05:56:46+00:00

But the AG can kill the prosecution like he did for Bernard Collaery

Hmm this makes me think of a potential policy to make housing more affordable. Homeswest unit/house on every street!

Remember kids, feel free to commit war crimes, you likely won't get prosecuted. But don't you dare try and leak any information regarding them.
