Betwixed and between
It’s IT, it has to fail occasionally. There’s a story every six months or so of some babk or other shitting the bed.
Long ago I went with mutiple accounts, i run four banks (NAB, Macquarie, Bankwest & Ubank) and can just switch if one is down
I’d suggest redundancy ? At least one other account. It will happen again.
b>ecause it’s stupid, pacifism doesn’t lead to less war, it leads to more suffering
You’ve confised self dence and pacislfism, they are not the same thing. A pacifist will always supoort self defence, like the Palestinians in Gaza,.the Houthi are the only onea defemding them, Ukrianians againt Russia
Australian’s in Turkey, or in Vietnam or Malaysia etc not so much.
it’s the equivalent of saying don’t stand up to your bully just let him get away with it, in the end you lose and suffer more
So you’re argument is that indigenous Australia’s should stull be fightibg against the invasion ? I can onky agree.
There was a quote by Geronimo who said his biggest mistake was giving up, he said they should have fought on, even if they all died.

Politicians who took us to war should have been given the guns and told to settle their differences themselves, instead of organising nothing better than legalised mass murder.
War is organised murder and nothing else
Indeed and the US had lumped in nations who they would have previously called friends and fucked them as well.
Short term lots of nations will feel some.pain, longher term of China plays it’s cards right, the US continues it’s slide into irrelevance.
As an Australian i hope we pivot to Europe and build stronger relationships there but we have a long tradition of our tongue being stuck firmly up the arsehole of the US.
Used to be big fan but no longer, forcing somone to vote when they don’t want to seems an odd thing to ne proud off. They wont make any sort of rational choice.
I read a stat some years ago that >60% of people still don’t know who they will vote for as they approach the polling booth which is why we get slammed with a zillion how to vote cards. They should not be voting at all.
The etire super industru js bemusibg to me, it’s diesgned for grifters to take a % of the top.
I remember an article over a decade or more ago in the AFR saying if government were serious about Suoer recorm, all thats needed is two dozen people and a bunch of computers in an office.
I am reminded that the entirety of Berkshire Hataway is run out of a single floor of an office block in Ohama
There is a significant difference between what’s best for the Super Industry and whats best for superannuants, and that can enver be fixed by tinkering at the edges.
The frustrating thing is the grift fron the financial industry has been normalised and people seem happy to accept it. This article is just another in a long line of examples.
Not sure what the pardox is ? Dodgy reporting of date iant a paradox. Most Australians dont give a shit, happy to elect polticans who support that. In a sane woukd The Greens in Qld would have had a significantly increaded vote but Qlders kick the couple Green politicans they had out and elected a bunch of ultra conservative nutters who running aroind dealing with the consequences of decades of ignoring it.
Jacquie Lambie’s original party.
Trumpet of Patriots, wot even is that supposed to mean, people farting on Australia Day ?
Have you not met voters?
This seems so weird, he asked somone who he thought was the owner if he coukd borrow the car to help a neighbour out, they said yeah, so he did and returned it full of fuel.
Next thing the cops are arresting him for theft ? Turns out the guy that said yeah knew the owner but wasn’t the owner ? If all of this is true, wtf didn’t the dude who didn’t own it say yeah take it ?
My guess, tbis will be dismissed.
Fuck cars!
We need more and better public transport.
Their are 3 countries with rare earth minerals China, Australia, and greenland.
What ? Rare earths are everywhere, they are just difficult to extract and toxic as shit to procees, you also always have nuclear waste associated with it that is concentrated in the treatment process.
There’s a reason Lynas set up a plant in Malayasia for thier WA mined ores, they would have been unlikely to get a license way back in the day becase of the toxic shit that comes from processing. They’ve already polluted large parts of the rainforested areas in Malaysia from tailings dam overflows.
Australia’s advantage isn’t it’s massive rare earth windfall, it’s that only a few “black fellas” live in or near vast areas that can be mined, so we just ignore them or throw them a few tokens as we rape and pillage the natural environment. Much of the rest of the world has people living on it.
There are all sorts of mineral deposits across Europe for example, look at Rio’s large proposed Lithium mine in Serbia and the push back, why ? People… and not just indigenous people no one gives a shit about.
Serbia blocked plans for Europe’s biggest lithium mine – a flagship project of Rio Tinto new chief executive – in a dramatic response to local opposition
There’s a Gin Distillery near me here in Tassie that uses Kunzea

I don’t drink, so i have no idea if its any good. Seems to be the new hip thing?
The problem? Housing policy, like most of our polices are based on cruelty.
Iv’e been “unemployed” since 2000. Best time ever.
I’d seriously have to consider suicide if I had to go back to work becase of some fuck up on my part.
