I mean games, tv, movies all have some sort of rating system so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time reviewing the content for your kids. Seems like a gap that this doesn’t exist for books.

The swing from the bottom of the petrol cycle to the top was nearly 50c a month ago. It has been divorced from reality for a long while. The ACCC petrol price enquiry did nothing and people were all over Miles about “what’s in it for us poor drivers” when he announced the 50c fares. So it’s a particular pain point in QLD and will be interesting to see what they can do it they push forward with this.

Switched my electricity provider from nectr to Ampol. Nectr was raising rates to over 29c so found a provider that was 25c. Should get the cost of living payout as well.

I just try to cook an extra big meal that will yield 1 or 2 extra serves. This means I have something for lunch the next day, but I don’t get bored of having the same thing 5 days in a row.

Another one in FNQ that isn’t getting much media coverage too https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/jun/29/man-allegedly-stabbed-woman-to-death-before-attempting-carjack-on-major-queensland-highway
Im sure both of these will go on a list somewhere and we’ll continue to ask “what can we do?”

Credit to the Australian members of parliament who haven’t let this go:
[Prime Minister Anthony] Albanese has said he raised the matter directly with the US, including with the president, Joe Biden, during his visit to Washington in October 2023.
In February this year, Albanese and cabinet members supported a motion put forward by independent MP Andrew Wilkie urging the UK and US to allow Assange to return home to Australia.
The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, said he also raised the matter with his US counterpart, Merrick Garland, during a meeting in January this year.

The only booth he didn’t win was Windsor. Surprise, surprise, people who live in the inner city preferred the Greens candidate. What a flog.
The Quirk review is in and it has recommendations! The Gabba: >… the panel estimates an upgrade alone would cost around $2 billion. A full rebuild would cost around $3 billion – more than the $2.7 billion estimated by the Queensland government – plus displacement costs for the AFL and cricket. How about a new stadium at Victoria Park: >The review instead recommends the government build a new stadium at Victoria Park with 50,000 seats for the Games, and more to be added later for the AFL and cricket. And, as Brisbane Times revealed on Sunday, the alternative stadium would come at a cost of around $3.4 billion – $700 million more than the government tipped for the Gabba. And how about a new Brisbane Live Arena venue: >Instead, it recommends building Brisbane Live at a the non-parkland northern corner of Roma Street precinct which currently houses a carpark and workshop depot. This corner was originally set aside by the former Beattie government for a landmark public museum-style building.

1L juice for comparison. You guys got these at your local? First time getting them in Brisbane. I use the paper bags for collecting recycling so the new size sucks for this.

The novel, set in the future on Mars, follows lowborn miner Darrow as he infiltrates the ranks of the elite Golds.

> Australians will soon be able to ban themselves from all online gambling companies in every state and territory using just one form, almost five years after legislation was introduced to parliament. > A national self-exclusion register for online gambling dubbed “BetStop” will be launched on 21 August, the federal government says. It will replace systems in the states and territories that have been criticised as ineffective as they do not cover all bookmakers There’s also an anonymous opinion piece from an affected person here: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/10/betstop-australian-anti-gambling-register?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other If you’re thinking “why can’t they just not gamble?” There’s also an excellent You Can’t Ask That episode about problem gamblers on iView (Season 2 if you’re looking for it).
