idk much about politics or how the ALP works, and didn't even read the article, but unless there's something specific about Labor branches that have voted to support Albanese's position, it's one sided reporting by definition ...
Edit: I scanned the article and there appears to only be reporting on those 6 branches that were against the PM. For all we know, every other branch (hundreds?, thousands?) supports the PM. One sided.
The enshITAfication continues even after Ita Buttrose left.
It will not be completed until it becomes a cross between the Australian Women's Weekly and Cleo, including centerfolds of random b-list celebrities.
AIs are eagerly scooping up this as a source lol
It's insanity. Rechargeable batteries were the default. You could switch out for a better battery. The whole vape scene looked to be a big win for decreasing smoking and reducing costs.
Then big tobacco and the government got involved.
It's literally buying rechargeable batteries and throwing them away after the first use. (Yes, I have also yelled at someone when they did that with some AA Eneloops 🙄).
As an aside, I don't smoke or vape, but had an interest in batteries, and some of the info that would come from some of the vape sites was fantastic.
It staggers me that in reality so much of the operation of various countries democracies have relied upon good people acting in good faith.
Was Scomo making himself anything less than a king by secretly appointing himself as the minister in charge for every key portfolio? Roll out martial law, and congratulations, you have a new dictator. Surely, he could have done it with the panic around covid.
I always thought that looking back through history, with the lessons from ancient Egypt, Greece, the Roman Empire and even the rise of Stalin, Hitler etc we would be aware of what to look for and wouldn't fall for the same thing over and over.
But it still seems to be so incredibly easy to achieve. It doesn't seem to matter how 'democratic' you are, or how democratic you think your society is.
I am disappoint....
Ooh, Happy New Financial Year!
Swannies need to sort out their slow starts.
Can't keep giving teams 20 point starts.
-
Excitedly get new machine. Install Debian.
-
Not so excitedly search error messages.
-
Dejectedly find need kernel/drivers that's 18 months later than the Debian versions
-
boot sysrescuecd to find next distro to write to USB drive ....
-
kick self for buying shiny, latest hardware without checking for linux support. Again....😡
Can you not press both buttons?

But Joe Biden was Leslie's hero. She'd never run against him.
I love ice cream, and a 1l or 2l tub is lucky to make it past 2 days.
But I struggled with my last tub. It's the first time I can remember that I went 'Nah, I don't want any. It'll be too cold and just unpleasant'. I could only bring myself to eat it at lunchtime.
And now I've actually stood in front of the fridge at the supermarket and gone 'Brrrr, no I'm not buying that. It'll be cold'.
Somebody help me. I'm now literally softer than ice cream sitting in the sun on a summer's day 😢
Yeah, when so many of the elected have investment properties, there's no incentive to change the way things are 😔
It really feels like a 'Do something, anything!' situation.
To use a cricket analogy, take any easy singles now, and you can hit the boundaries when(if?) they come.
And I've spent $0 on 19 billion free games that I'm never going to play....
A good engineer prepares for every use case.
What normally happens is that the engineer will raise the corner cases and then be told that will never happen and they must not prepare for those use cases. Also, they can now deliver a week earlier.
I'm dubious this will have any effect, but at least it's trying something. I'm sure other cities & states will be watching...
With the nation wide housing issues, it can't be solved with one silver bullet, it needs many policies to work together. Every little thing helps.
I can't help feeling kinda sorry for most reality tv contestants now.
The latest one that really got to me was Alone. I watched a couple of different countries versions. It basically is leaving people in the middle of nowhere until they have a mental breakdown. I bailed out part way through a season. I just couldn't watch any more, it was so depressing.
To want to be on any of these reality shows, I just keep feeling bad for them.
Nice!
And go Swannies ! Hope it's a good game, despite the weather!
Week nearly over, but looks like we'll all be getting rained on for the rest of it!
On the positive side, guess I can't mow the lawn. Awwwwwww 🤣
I use old.reddit.com, and had trouble logging in from there today. "Too many redirects". I also use the Redirect to old.reddit.com extension. When I disabled that, the login link it now takes you to is https://www.reddit.com/login/. That, of course, takes you to www.reddit.com.
The old 'popup' login box has been removed. I also noticed that the in sub logins where they used to have username/password entry boxes have been removed.
More reddit enshitification to try and make us use their horrible UI.

He's passed EVERY test. He's more Aussie than anyone I know!
Hope everyone has an exciting or relaxing Christmas. Whichever one they wished for!
And be safe in your travels.

Great little piece that hits a surprising range of emotions
Opposition climate and energy spokesperson had pointed to SMRs as a solution to Australia’s energy needs, but experts raise questions over price tag
![Small modular nuclear reactor that was hailed by Coalition as future cancelled due to rising costs](https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/20c7ffa1-cbdb-44ae-9694-26d3a4ef5228.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
So, it appears the first SMR project in the US was scrapped due to rising costs.
An Aussie SMR would take 10-15 years before even being online and we'd be the guinea pigs.
Perhaps it's time to pivot to technology already available and that can be implemented in the short term?
Five months after LNP MPs voted in favour of the laws to set up a First Nations Treaty Institute and a truth-telling and healing inquiry, leader David Crisafulli has declared the path to treaty is "not the right way forward for Queensland".
![Queensland opposition backflips on support for state's Path to Treaty](https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/d20cf30a-93e6-4aeb-8ffe-ca3c2a648a46.jpeg?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
I wonder if other LNP state parties might follow?

What do you call it when you laugh, but are offended at the same time?
With unprecedented heat waves and record-breaking global temperatures, it’s hard to believe that there might be a place on earth that has actually COOLED since the industrial revolution. But, it turns out, there is such a spot. The COLD BLOB off of Greenland mystified scientists for years, but new studies have uncovered a scary reality - this cool patch might be a warning of the impending collapse of a vital earth circulation system. And the consequences would be dire.
Somebody has to do it!
Carn the Tillies!
Apologies in advance for my shitposts...
Sorry if this is not rage,but hoping people's fave songs qualify
After being missing for 5 days, we have called off the search for sydbot.
RIP, little buddy. Hope you and your other bot friends are beeping and boopiing in bot heaven
For the first time since 2015 an Australian is wearing the yellow leader's jersey at the Tour de France.
