Not that one.

I'll be doing some political and other discussions here, with an appropriate CW where needed.

I don't expect any great number of trolls or cookers, but I will not be responding or arguing with them.

So don't even try Qevins and Qarens.

Angus Taylor. The man born with a silver foot in his mouth.
The best description of Well Done Angus yet.

If so, then good. It was always a dud.

Another white elephant from an outgoing LNP government that won't be blamed for the useless expense.

Neither the US nor the UK will cop any flack. Scott Moronson will walk away with zero mention by a compliant media.

The ALP will be abused for the whole shitty deal. One of their first acts should have been to say, "Keep the deposit, we'll get the penalty fine to you when the first sub was due." (So never, effectively).

These are not "poor industry practices." They are design features.

A similar thing happened with my father's life insurance after he died, aged 43, in 1977.

His insurance company (Norwich Winterthur) took over a year to pay the benefit to my mom.

The only thing that kept our family housed and not sliding into poverty for that year was the whip-around organised by the unions, all of them, at the place where Dad worked.

Join your union, and be active in it. You never know when you'll need them.

Let's be honest: Haven't we all at one point drunk texted a reporter an invitation to discuss plans for an upcoming military attack? Something tells me Hegseth will be hitting the sauce pretty hard tonight.

Hegseth to Trump.
What are we doing tomorrow, Brainless?
DT: The same thing we do every night, Stinky, trying to give the world to Putin.

@Nath@aussie.zone avatar Nath One of the excuses when introducing ATMs was that it was cheaper to provide the service. They either lied then, or they're lying now. I know which option I prefer. Fark 'em. Fark 'em all.
