“It beats trying to fit everything in at a cramped self-checkout.” When your selling point is "Less shit than the last shit thing we forced on you". Fuck Right Off @woolworths.bsky.social.
ALP has rolled out Ros Kelly's whiteboard. Rutherglen Golf Club in #Indi is nearly 100, clubhouse falling apart. Can't even apply. Marrickville GC in PM's Sydney seat got $6mill for clubhouse refurbs, including fixes to the septic system, which I can still smell from 250kms away #auspol
Would likely be closer to $90-120 million extra (on top of the $560m) to revert to a paper processing model for the #census for every household in Australia. And the last census in 2021, also with a digital first approach had a higher response rate than in 2016.
But sure, let's spend about 50 million extra $$ to have someone knock on every door in Australia and offer them a form just in case. Pretty sure there would be articles complaining about the census anyway.
What a lot of alarmist nonsense, @news.abc.net.au. My 90yo mother managed to navigate 150yo telephone "technology" to call the number in the letter and request a paper form in under 5 minutes. The same basic process as last time. #auspol
Some big names doing the Welsh dub here. Matthew Rhys as Solo, Rhys Ifans as Obi-Wan and Aimee-Ffion Edwards as Leia. No mention of it here, but surely they are in talks with Tom Jones to be Chewbacca? #starwars
Hey @abcnewsaustralia.bsky.social if you must keep giving "Former home affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo" airtime and relevance, at least have the decency to refer to him by his correct title: "DISGRACED former public servant". Using this turd as a source is as appalling as #AUKUS. #auspol
These gag orders for rich defendants are unjustified in the first place, but surely the *second* the jury says "guilty" it should be lifted automatically, without need to hold a bloody hearing. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-07...
I am not "Anxious" you condescending fuck. I am livid. #AI
Trump tells the truth for the first time : "I didn’t even finish reading it."
If the Liberals were a business, they would be Myers. For decades, steadily sacrificing product quality, service and brand loyalty to compete on lowest prices, until one day they wake up and find all their new customers have pissed off to The Reject Shop. #auspol
Every election, the Liberals do badly and they earnestly say they need to change - and then they double-down and offer more of the same. Consumers are not buying their product. If they were a business, they'd close their doors. #auspol
This article is such a disappointing misfire. The real story gets killed by the headline-inducing clickbait rage about what constitutes 'income support'. The focus shouldn't be about where the money comes from. It *IS* worth examining deteriorating physical/mental health in work age people. #auspol

Bullshitting lobbyists warn of dire consequences if we stop letting them rob us. You know, unprecedented stuff like "price rises" and "shortages".. Happy to pay more if it goes in our own damn bank account #auspol
#Raiders #Brumbies can buy their own damn stadium. The Canberra biz I worked at for 30 years employed more local people, built product for export and use by most Canberra public servants every day. Nobody bought us an office, and we didn't have billions in gambling $$ to buy our own shit.

I suggest "From The Tailings Dam To The Reef" would offer QLD protestors a legal loophole AND a multitasking opportunity. #qldpol #auspol
"Fifteen cops to arrest one girl." An 18yo woman was arrested for wearing a singlet with a banned phrase. Another man was arrested for speaking the phrase outside Queensland parliament. Premier David Crisafulli's criminalisation of speech will now be tested in court. #qldpol
