    ... this is one of those things where nobody they asked actually knows dick about australia, they just like our "laid back attitude" and extensive tourism industry, isn't it.

    australia's biggest global contribution of the last couple decades has been inspiring other countries to imitate our horrifying immigration policies

    also i think it's funny that israel is lower than russia on that list

    And UK above the EU. People have some weird opinions!

    I should say that although I somewhat agree with Labor and the Greens that people are entitled to their privacy, public servants have to remain impartial.
    So Vikki needed to be fired as soon as she was found pregnant, if she was a public servant.
    Which is possibly why everything was covered over on social media, to prevent the perception of partiality, without treating the conflict of interest.
    Although equally possibly it was for privacy reasons instead.

    I would prefer her to be still fired from public service but we garnish Barnaby's pay for her indefinitely.

    I dunno, it feels a bit hypocritical.

    I mean how often in the papers is there some celebrity sleeping with some other person that I don't care about, why weren't the pollies demanding their privacy?

    The only reason labour and the greens didn't follow it up was to give them the moral highground when it inevitably got out.

    And if he is asking for his privacy, ok sure.

    But if he wants his privacy, why is his government constantly trying to erode ours?

    I’m not across all the details, but was she public service or a party employee? I know some media advisors are party employees and not public servants (eg a friend of mine was a media advisor directly employed by the Greens).

    Don't know.
    Seems to be 'staffer in his office' and was transferred to the office of the Minister for Resources immediately after falling pregnant.
    But I don't know whether a media advisor is a public servant.

    I enjoyed every sentence of this. Especially the bit at the end where in spite all of the student's diligent research into the issue, she still didn't realise we became a commonwealth over a century ago.

    So this past week has been very stressful due to my mum needing eye surgery for a tumour and the wait for test results, but it looks like we got the best-case scenario - the doctor is as confident as he can be that he got it all, and my mum just needs to take some eye drops for a bit.

    I had a good happy cry and hugs and am very relieved right now.

    Good Sammys seem to be pretty decent. There's Anglicare too, they have op-shops and aged care housing that they service.

    Are there actual bins anywhere? I've got some things I want to drop off after hours.

    Donation bins are getting harder and harder to find because of vandalism, unfortunately. Which has lead to arseholes just dumping piles of stuff out the front of the stores, which is another whole problem. Google is gonna be your best bet finding donation bins near you, I think?

    You wouldn't think it would be possible to be an arsehole about being generous. But people find a way.

    Some of you have seen my Facebook status, but for those who haven’t, my dog died today. His heart gave out. He loved us all so much. Only 3 of you got to meet him- @Gatsby, Cyvros and Apocalyptus, but I hope all three of you got to see how he was a very good boy. The goodest, kindest, bestest boy.

    The people of Tamworth, the same, the people in the small towns... People literally running up, and some crying, and offering their support to me. I just say, I don't deserve the support that you've given me.
