You’re doing good work Rex with your FOI requests.
I’d be interested in knowing how often this plane and pilots for flying hours are required to fly each year. I agree private flights to Geelong appear excessive, however it would be interesting to know how often RAAF needs to fly it each year.

I could have watched Lower Decks forever, sad it’s finished. I’m onto the comics now.

That is the debate. Humans making content should have rights over that content, and should monetise it as they see fit. It shouldn’t be sucked into a model to be hallucinated back as plain text with Google, OpenAI selling ads against it. It’s copyright infringement and should be blocked.

So that content owners can make their content discoverable on the world’s largest and main search engine without having to have their content fed into the google AI model.
Cloudflare are interested as they sell ai blocking tools, they can’t block google without dropping off search results too.

Yes, every state, which is why it was the national firearms agreement. WA has made additional changes recently.

What nonsense. It wasn’t the total number of guns that was legislated under the national firearms agreement in 1996 it was the type and licensing.
Semiautomatic weapons are still heavily restricted to business or professional use. All purchasers must be licensed, have a permit and a genuine reason

Anyone good enough to make PM was also good enough to earn more privately. Crying over some entitlements for the highest job in the country is just populist nonsense.

People could lodge income tax withholding variations to change how much is withheld each pay. They’d need to fund it as I doubt the ATO could process an extra 40,000 a year without some more funding.

The Liberals ended car manufacturing here and with it the classic Australian Ute.
We now import American styled pickup trucks which increase in size each year, along with actual American pickup trucks that are ridiculously oversized for our roads and parking.

The alternative position is to tax an extra 73c a day and raise an extra 17 billion. It wouldn’t take long for the liberals and the media to start referring to the total amount per household with working young adults over 4 years. A $5000 tax on households!!!

Is it really collusion if you both want 5% profit and buy from suppliers at the same price?
We are talking about margins of 4 - 6% here. High by global standards ( 2 - 3%) sure but any changes are unlikely to deliver much of a reduction in prices.

The driver is that the Australia/US defence partnership is larger than any single president and 4 years isn’t a long time for a deal of this size and length.
I agree that there are higher levels of uncertainty now, however it is better to stay in and wait it out.

What tough decisions did Abbott, Turnbull and Morrison make?
The closest we got to tough decisions was Shorten and the electorate made it clear they weren’t interested in meaningful reform.
So now we get generic populist policies with the odd bracket creep reduction sold as a tax cut.

It’s a Liberal party position. Being baptised doesn’t give you a free pass on being a bigot. Let people do what makes them happy, and if participating in organised religion makes them happy, so be it.

It’s a fair system. Each children receives the same government funding. If parents want to pay extra for better outcomes so be it.
It’s not your choice what beliefs people have and want for their schooling choice. Let people do what they do. Per child, simple and fair.

Each child should be funded for x dollars per year. If parents elect to pay more for whatever reason that is up to them. Funding per child is the most equitable.

I run decently beefy hardware however the performance hit isn’t noticeable to me at all. Games run magnificently on Linux (unless you hit anti-cheat blockers) for the most part.
However, I’ve never seen the value in 90 vs 110 honestly. Once you get above 80 without drops it’s splitting hairs imo.

I asked as I was genuinely interested. I’m going to assume your claims are baseless as you lack evidence.
