I'd been hoping they forgot about old.reddit.com altogether.
Nope, as soon as they remembered it, they stuff it up.
I was watching a podcast that was looking at the current housing market and drew comparisons to what they thought were the closest comparisons - NZ and Canada.
Both of those dropped about 20% from their peaks.
The main difference pointed out between them and Oz is the immigration levels. Ours is much higher.
The guy put down our high immigration levels to the federal government being incentivised because our tax is slanted to salary and wages, and more immigrants means more tax. Also, the expense side for services and infrastructure hits state and local governments.
The dirty secret is that we would be in recession except for high immigration levels. Gross GDP only is growing because of immigration.
So, while NZ and Canada dropped rather quickly, we are in a different situation.
If prices drop, it's hard to predict if it will be a bushfire or slow controlled burn.
So basically status quo. Kinda wanted to see things shaken up a bit, though that may not actually improve anything lol
I'm a bit surprised Amazon or one of the other streamers didn't take a big swing at it, at least at the SoO. Maybe it doesn't fit their international profile. Does anyone outside Australia/NZ/Pac Islands really care about NRL?
Other thing I'm not sure about is there a percentage that players get, so salary caps will increase?
No, the pelicans bring the babies.
Oops, my bad. That's the storks.
Even when it was 100% British in Australia, the English hated the Irish, the Welsh hated the English, and the Scottish hated everyone.
Then on the religion side, which was 100% Christian, the Catholics, Anglicans , Baptists etc all hated each other.
I can't even imagine what her vision for a Utopian monoculture ever was orever could be. It's a racist fantasy.
Sony pulled Linux from the PS3.
They've also pulled similar stuff on phones and other gadgets.
They lost my trust and I won't buy anything from them again.
Dodge RAM? Fuck yeah! 😃
Oh, that kinda RAM ☹️
Now let loose those same people with AI...
lmao. He's meant to be overcharging on government contracts.
She has not even defined what she would change.
And then she claims 'ownership' of the Socceroos, because that was what was thrown in her face as a great example of multiculturalism.
It's just dog whistling at this point.
You'd think they'd be extra careful about this. It's not their first election fraud rodeo....
It's absolutely pissing down here right now, and I noticed this little fella sitting on a ledge outside a window trying to get out of the rain.
I've never seen any bird try and shelter there before, but am doing my best to not disturb him.
Hope the eaves and ledge give him some protection and he can stay safe.
Update: The rain has stopped, and my little friendly shadow has gone. All the birds are going mental! The cockies sound furious!
Volvo Cars is majority owned by Chinese company Geely. Perhaps not 'Western' anymore
