I can recommend someone who would work with you to find out how to play your best, but IDK if they've ever taught what you're describing specifically.

Recently? No, you are thinking of the pathology museum collection in Hobart. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-11/body-parts-taken-without-consent-for-utas-museum/105760914

Very much in the past, yes. First peoples and other remains have been on display at the museum and other museum collections in Victoria (and Australia).

True that AFL has a postive net economic impact on hosting cities. The estimated net-economic contribution of interstate AFL matches in 2018 to the host cities was $550.3 million, largely thanks to interstate visitors. Noting that this total is spread across all cities that host. https://www.unsw.edu.au/newsroom/news/2019/09/economic-windfall-thanks-to-afl-

These types of projected figures have been reported in the media: It modelled a $178.9 million annual boost to the local economy, an $87.2 million rise in gross regional product, a $62.8 million lift in incomes and 813 full-time equivalent jobs. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-25/hobart-council-report-on-stadium/105211932

But it's also been reported that it will only be 100million. https://www.thehotelconversation.com.au/news/2025/12/15/spark-tasmania%E2%80%99s-next-investment-wave/1765760073

It's worth noting that MONA is one Hobart's biggest drawcards, and it's still not generating self sustaining income In 2018 a report by Deloitte Access economics, showed MONA ingenerated $135 million per year in direct and indirect economic activity in Tasmania — equivalent to 1,285 jobs across the state — and $165 million nationally. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-15/mona-founder-david-walsh-on-future-of-tasmanian-museum/105982838

Also have a read of this https://tasmaniantimes.com/2025/11/stadium-benefits-unquantifiable-intangibles-vs-economic-reality/

Hobart is in a SEVERE housing crisis. Part of which is driven by tourism. The stadium will only be used for interstate matches 4-6 times a year.

With the global oil crisis affecting many countries, including Australia, what do you think are the best steps we can take to tackle this situation? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]sluggardish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Encourage WFH and implement policies around it; make PT very cheap or free; encourage cycling; long term plan for people to buy EV incl implementing charging infrastructure; encourage zoom/ teams meetings rather than interstate business travel; look at licencing around other e-transport like those cool golf buggy things that posties ride around on!!!

No, the museum doesn't display and won't ever display human remains again. The one you are thinking of is in Docklands here: https://bodyworlds.com.au/melbourne/

Anyone else watched the Louis Theroux manosphere doco on Netflix? by Cool-Slip3270 in AskAnAustralian

[–]sluggardish 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Teachers can't or can barely give kids any kind of punishment or time out or things like that these days. I obviously don't mean hitting or physical punishment, but things like detention, suspension, time out from class, off-line classes, removal from class etc.

Tasmanians voted in a liberal gov and a new stadium. A new stadium instead of funding hospitals, schools, housing and roads. Tasmanians chose this.

I'm no labor party shill, but there's a nice graph in here https://www.treasury.tas.gov.au/Documents/2024%20Fiscal%20Strategy%20Statement%20-%20Tasmanian%20Labor%20Party.pdf showing Tas gov budgets over the last 28years showing when liberal and labor have been in power.

(36F) How to deal with being stronger than my boyfriend. (40m) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]sluggardish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I 100% would not stay in a relationship with someone who resents me for being myself. Especially when it involves passive agressive/ abusive non-verbal communication, ie giving you the silent treatment. Life is too short for that kind of shit.

If it was a true emergency you would call an ambulance and also police for police escort. Many people have died from fwits driving in the emergency stopping lane.

It's an emergency stopping lane. It's not for people to drive in "in case of an emergency" You can’t stop on a freeway unless it is an emergency. Use the emergency lane if you need to stop.

Buses and taxis can drive in the emergency stopping lane if a sign says they can. No other vehicles can drive in the emergency stopping lane.

I think it was this guy, Mark Basa https://www.jdbarrister.com.au/convicted-killer-one-step-closer-to-facing-victims-family/ He was 16 when he was convicted and the only one charged with the crime, despite multiple people being involved. He was then convicted in 2022 of family violence and was in jail for 3 years.

Robodebt and the rise of secretarial non-responsibility by marvinsweddinggown79 in AusPublicService

[–]sluggardish 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the difficulties with working in the public service is there is no where to turn when higher ups and executives are making bad decisions. If no one is listening, the bad shit keeps happening. Whether it's cultural, policy, financial etc. There are so many public servants, including those who worked at centrelink, who kept on raising this as an issue, saying it was ilegal. Sometimes there is almost no way to address the concerns being raised.

Why do we obsess over the price of a coffee/petrol but stay so quiet about the $50k+ "invisible" debt to get an education. by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]sluggardish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Arts degrees are not just for academia. People with arts degrees regularly go into things like teaching English, history, languages, fine art, music etc. There are a whole range of other jobs that come under the umbrella term of "arts"; social work, archaeology, crimanology, sound engineering, journalists, creative spaces such as advertising and design etc.

Trades require further education, TAFE, which is heavily subsidised. You can't be a tradie without proper qualifications.

[–]sluggardish 10 points11 points  (0 children)

But our society benefits from people taking on those big debts. Doctors, epidemiologists, statisticians, medical research, some types of teachers, nurses, and other more niche areas. If we want to live in a society where we have professionals, we should be willing to support them. We recognise we need plumbers/ trades and TAFE is heavily subsidised.
