“Some things that they were able to have funded in the past — such as sex workers or equine therapy — have not passed the pub test.”

Sex workers were never covered, though *transport* to visit sex workers—who clients paid for at their own expense—was, the same as if they required transport to shop for groceries.

#Spam in my inbox is bad enough, but *wrong* spam boils my blood.

The Auteurs launched in the UK in 2007, then rebranded as #MUBI in 2010.

Of course, #TheMonthly may’ve meant MUBI became available in Australia in 2025, in which case it’s poor writing *and* false: Scribd was bundling complimentary MUBI memberships long before then, available to anyone worldwide with a credit card number.

They're talking about government-mandated #RentControl. The article doesn't mention it, because #jermalisms, but we have it in #Canberra. My #rent went up $5/week last year; were we still in #Brisbane, we'd be paying exactly twice what we were five years ago.

We don't have a #HousingAffordability problem in #Australia—we have a politician problem. There's simply no political will at state or federal levels to rein landlords in.

I should steal junk food. Copy that.

Love the scare acronym, BTW. Y’know, I might consider taking this article seriously if they hadn't plastered it with inline clickbait ads encouraging me to wrap my doorknobs in tinfoil. #meeja #jermalisms
