Swears like an Aussie cu... ok, not in the profile.

Bi dude. Pity there's no flag for this instance

Can we now say that Segal wasn't just wrong for the job, but actually harmed "social cohesion".

If the NACC isn't investigating Sega, then it needs to be dissolved and new legislation brought in to make all hearings public, make all complaints public, and ensure the commissioner has no conflicts, at all:

Oh great, get back from the pub, a letter from DFFH saying my rent is going up, again... by far more than the indexation of JobSeeker.

Amanda Rishworth wants to trot out window dressing while they had a report 3 years ago saying it was imperative that JobSeeker be raised to 90% of the pension because we had not had an actual increase in near 50 years.

THIS. IS. LABOR.

THIS. IS. ALBANESE.

You want to know how bad the profiteering crisis is in Australia for poor people?

I used to spend in blocks of $80, just a couple of years ago. Now it's $100. Soon it'll be blocks of $120 (it's getting close)

How privileged, ignorant, or callous do you have to be to holiday in the US in 2026?

@aral I'm enjoying "Guard the Leaf" doing his diatribes on YouTube about how terrible Canadian tourism is for all the US border towns 😆

@wallamba yeh, my ex is like that. She mainly drinks Heaps Normal, which does her fine. She'll drink a whisky, but only one 😆

Being an alcoholic, I really don't get hangovers until I really overdo it 😖

@wallamba here am I sinking cherry sours with zero abandon 😆
A strangely quiet night at Kent St, so much so the bar staff are commenting on it
