Starbucks is an abomination. They tried to launch in Australia in the 2000s and ended up losing loads of money and closing most of their stores.

They couldn't compete with even our worst chain stores let alone our endless individual coffee shops.

It's not the first time that nation state actors have been accused of supporting division in western societies.

I've read allegations that Russia tends to fund / encourage / amplify both sides of debate in the USA to increase division.

Wonder if they are also secretly on the counter protest side here too.

IMO the 1% are the real and immediate beneficiaries of this. The business council wants more immigration. More potential workers than jobs = more compliant workforce and lower salaries. There is also more customers, renters, real estate demand.

No surprise to see newscorpse and other right wing business mouth pieces fanning the flames on this issue. Now instead of having a reasonable discussion about what a sustainable amount of population growth through immigration is, we get a polarised outrage debate. You either support unlimited mass immigration or you are a Nazi.

I wonder if the neonazis realise they have been used as pawns in this game. I doubt they are smart enough for that.

Part sun / part shade.

Mines in a large pot so I try to keep it where it won't get the afternoon sun in summer, but gets a bit of sun in winter.

One was enough.

I had lots of flowers for a couple of years and no fruit. I suspect that was caused by not giving it enough water around this time of year. (I'm in Perth)

Mine took 7 year's until it did.

Guessing I won't be able to partake having never used my real name on Facebook.

Admittedly I didn't bother voting this round.

There was only one challenger to the current representative in my area.

They hardly said anything different in their blurbs anyway.

Tried ages ago. Meals were OK but quite basic.

Was not impressed with the quality and freshness of fruit and vegetables they supplied. Worse than supermarkets and not even comparable to farmers markets.

Natural selection 1 and 2.

I still miss Swype.

To this day it is still better than every other keyboard I've tried at recognising traces.

Oops Andrew must have forgot that the business council lobby sets immigration policy round there.

Even a broken clock is right at least once a day.

Pipepipe is still working, as long as you are not logged in, and obviously aren't trying to watch age verification gated content.

For how long though who knows.

"The economy" = rich people's yachts.

Grin and bear it?

No we let our politicians slowly put in place the conditions for fascism.

Metadata retention

Assistance and access bill

Identify and disrupt bill

Age verification bullshit

Anti protest laws.

Pretty soon you won't be able to disagree with libor / laborel here either.

I bet that the fascist tech laws will be used to silence and punish government critics.

I'd really hoped we for one to be put in the July school holidays.

Oh well can't complain about a extra one in November. The second half of the year up to Christmas was always lacking with just the one.

Thanks everyone for voting for the e-karen.

If anything when people make immigration in to a race issue it plays in to the hands of the business lobby / rent seekers / 1%. They are the ones who profit from mass immigration at the expense of the majority of working class people.

Making it a race issue allows the politicians to focus their media talking points on claiming "I'm not a racist" instead of what the reasonable opponents want to discuss. So we never get a sensible debate about what a sustainable population is, or what a sustainable amount of immigration is, or what effect mass immigration has had on housing demand.

I call them JUHBs. Jacked up hatchbacks.

All the interior space of a hatch back, but with worse handling and efficiency due to being pointlessly higher off the ground.
