We won't. Our government is still trying to pretend that everything is fine and normal in the US despite winning the recent election in a massive landslide based partially on anti-Trumpism sentiment. I'd love to see Albo prove me wrong but I'm not holding my breath.

9News is right leaning and has always sanewashed everything to do with Trump, along with the rest of the Australian mainstream media (which is all right wing, even the supposedly lefty ABC).

The trial never ended, Captain.

Specialist fees (and nowadays a lot of GP fees for that matter) are not fully covered by the Medicare rebate. Typically you'll pay about $300 for an standard consultation appointment and get not quite half of that back.

If Rupert Murdoch was still in Australia, he'd be supporting the Liberal Party.

Rupert Murdoch (through his media companies) still very much does support the Liberal party.

This article has given me a kick up the backside to switch my super away from AustralianSuper.

No, the full context of the code snippet doesn't appear to check the browser user agent at all. Other comments have explained that it's most likely a lazy implementation of a check for ad blockers.

My first was a Galaxy S1 back in 2010 which I rooted and flashed with custom ROMs almost immediately. I remember applying the various generations of Voodoo lag fixes because Samsung used cheap shitty flash storage and a slow proprietary file system. Once the Nexus S came out the dev scene took off because they had almost the same hardware. I had it running up to Android 4.2 or so before it was relegated to sitting in a drawer for good. Unfortunately I don't know where it is now, if I still had it I'd try to boot it up and see if it still works.

Not to mention that the bar for a referendum to pass is very high. For the non-Australians, you need not only a majority of voters nationally to vote yes, but also a majority of states to vote yes (the so-called "double majority"). Only 8 of the last 44 referendums before now have passed and partisan referendums have never passed, so this one was doomed the minute Dutton decided to play politics with it.

Then he just needs to appoint himself as Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and become the President of the Senate to fulfill his dream of running the entire government.

Our former prime minister actually did something like this. He secretly appointed himself as health minister, finance minister, industry minister, home affairs minister and treasurer. It was quite a big scandal that only came out after the election that kicked out his government and threw a lot of ministerial decisions made during that time into legal doubt, though nothing ended up coming from it.

Morrison was a lazy shit and only used his secret ministerial powers a few times, he just wanted to have the power for himself. His stated reason was "in case the existing ministers became incapacitated by COVID", but we already have assistant ministers that could fill in if that happened.

If a target could be found along New Horizons' trajectory then it could be diverted to do a flyby and get pictures, but there currently aren't any known KBOs that NH could reach. That doesn't mean there aren't any, we just haven't discovered any that are close enough yet.

Cricket. The episode might not have the same impact for those outside Australia but the ending never fails to bring tears to my eyes. It helps that my daughter loves it too.
