Aussie in Leopolis.
Writer. One of my novels: Coils of the Serpent. Read it for free.
Just imagine if one of these 'guided by God' people ever managed to attain the Prime Ministership. Then we'd be in real trouble.
It's not an option. It doesn't work on all our phones.
I use it for our family chat. It's okay. The biggest issue is sometimes messages are delayed (up to half-an-hour at times). Other than that, it's fine. It meets our needs.
Mark Wales says a close family member has suffered a "serious medical episode" and was in intensive care.

The jobseeker program is just like the weight-loss industry. They do just enough to appear to be doing something, but not enough to actually fix the problem. If they did succeed, they'd be out of a job.
Wasn't it supposed to be released in 2015? People complain about Martin, but he's got nothing on the Dave. 31 years and counting since the last book.
It's a slow-cooked beef shank in a tomato ragu. Instead of beef, this one uses lamb shanks. Sounds awesome.
I'm expecting YT to be spun off/sold within a year or so.
That's going into Google's pocket, not the creators'.
Political parties will wear a $10k fine. A good lie is worth millions to them especially if they win govt.
Political speech is way too nuanced to be restricted by legislation of this kind. Was The Voice proposal racist? It depends. Yes says no. No says yes. Both sides can be right and wrong. Is TUSotH one page or eighteen? Were we voting on just the Voice or Voice, Truth, and Treaty? Depending on who/where you ask you'll get different answers. There are very few absolute right and absolute wrongs in politics. Even the 'fact checkers' got it wrong on occasion during the campaign. The referendum would be an even bigger shitshow, with finger pointing and accusations flying, if political speech was deemed wrong and penalised.
I live in a country where similar laws already exist and the govt uses it to shut down speech it finds (rightly or wrongly) objectionable. It often does this by finding a minutia of perceived incorrectness and forcing the publishers to retract and apologise under the penalty of fines and publishing bans. It's chilling.
How do you enforce that? At best you have an inquiry that reports days/weeks/months later and the damage has been done and is considered old news. In any case, you'll have the pollies inserting a grain of truth into their lies and rules lawyering the rest. It may harm truth-telling because a government/political party has a lot more means to shut down a conversation that an individual or even a community group.
A better solution would be more transparent political finance reporting laws, but even that is likely to be a temporary measure. Political parties will always find the loopholes. To misquote Keating, never get between a politician and a bag of money. It's still worth pursuing.
Do we really want the opposing sides protesting the other side's events? Tensions are high enough now. Wait until a bunch of idiots start throwing punches.
Qantas took a long-running battle with the Transport Workers' Union over sacked staff to the High Court, where the airline today lost its appeal.

I've been saying this for the last year.
Some of us can't read the menu board from within the queue. Tiny fonts and rapidly changing screens. I prefer to order using the kiosks.
The people complaining are the same ones that would be angry if the games went ahead and cost $7 billion.

They couldn't possibly do that in WA. There's about a six month wait now to book a driving test. That's just for new drivers.
Agree. We don't even teach them to drive at night.

Last time I checked the documentation (more than a year ago) the '-' flag was supposed to work, but in practice the results can be unpredictable. Google honours the flag, but DDG is a bit of a mixed bag.
