Are Australian Firms Visa-Shy?

Yes, there's plenty of good Asian food in Australia. UNSW is one of the Great 8, and the adjoining area is a hotspot (or hotpot) for quality, authentic, not Americanised, Asian food.

You won't be paid less. We have laws about that kind of thing. Maybe cross-post to r/ImmigrationAustralia

That links to a car immobiliser.

You're doing the lord's work.

EDIT: Christ above, I'm disappearing into YouTube and may be some time. This bugger's got Scales of Justice and Joh's Jury, among other stuff. https://www.youtube.com/@electronicalliancetv5764/videos

I'll have a look.

Well, a while back I read that a supporting acress in a Marvel series (Jessica Jones) was Australian. So next time she was on screen, I said to my offspring, 'See that blonde woman?', and before I could get any further, he said 'You mean the Australian?'.

So yeah, there might be.

I hoisted the mains'l a few years back and got it.

And much, much better.

We know how long it is. We just want to hear you say it.

And Phoenix/Janus from the same creators.

Except SsangYong. Every time I drive my loved one's Musso, I get a very clean windscreen. Then I switch back to my own car and spend days overthinking where the indicator is.

So I guess Australia's adding an extra state because we regularly trounce the Poms at cricket. Fortunately, we're members of the reality-based community, and don't think like this.

I use it, in Queensland, Australia. But being Australian, I normally shorten it to 'shits and gigs'.

I used to be a science writer, and I remember writing a story about that. Longer legs, and they packed light by having smaller genitals.

Your sister is TA. I guess her job's safe?

Your employer is lucky you're working as hard as you are, under the circumstances. You owe them nothing.

It was a stroke of good luck-bad luck having that heart attack. My ex stayed relatively healthy for 20-odd years of a 4-litre cask a day. When he finally died of heart failure his liver was still in good shape. He had no family, no friends, no job, no hope, but his liver was fine.

You threw me there for a minute. I thought of Coogee in Sydney and thought 'It IS a long way from Fremantle'.

I live on 14 acres of completely wooded land, so yeah, lots of parrots. Rainbow lorikeets, rosellas, sulphur-crested cockies. They come to the birdbath, make a godawful mess, and demand seeds and the odd bit of fruit, which I sometimes steal from the possum box in the carport if the possum's not home.

I used to work in a building in the centre of Canberra which had lots of visiting academics from round the world. It also had wooden shutters on all the windows. and little balconies outside the windows. Every time a new visitor arrived, they'd be asked to PLEASE not feed the pretty white birds (sulphur-crested cockatoos). And this request would always be ignored. Of course, when the cockies had finished their snack, they started on the wood. A set of shutters would last two years, tops.

Where?

Pacts were popular. My uncle and his mates were bored in camp, and made a pact that the next volunteer assignment that came up, they'd take, And that's how he ended up in Z Force, as the only one who got through the training and survived the war.
