Mr Dutton said he would not detail exactly where the spending cuts would come from until after the federal election.
It's as if he knows that it'd be a whitewash if the voters knew what he intended.
Weird they chose hair products as something to sell as Australian, though. You don't exactly think of us when you think of hair care, do you?
Two Australian brands I've seen doing well overseas are Rip Curl and Billabong. Beach stuff. And yes, I can imagine people around the world associating us with beaches.
we stop subsidising private schools and only give public money to public schools?
I've always disliked this idea. I'm the product of public education and my kids are in public schools as well. I believe every kid has a right to government funding toward their education. If a rich family wants to spend fees above and beyond the government allotment so their kid goes to school with a swimming pool or rowing team, I am ok with it. Those kids shouldn't lose their government education funds because they come from wealth. They are still citizens and have the same entitlement.
Besides, if the million kids currently in private education suddenly turned up at their local schools tomorrow to enroll in the public system, they would totally break it.
Sure. I promise not to buy anything from the USA today. 😆
Looking around me, about the only things in my vicinity that came from the USA are my phone and iPad. And they were both purchased 2+ years ago. I don't think there is that much in my bubble that comes from the USA. Maybe some oranges or avocados at the shops sometimes? Whatever is on offer from the USA is going to be such a teeny portion of their export market that they aren't going to notice any action we might take.
One Nation has been like this for 30+ years. They have needed neither influence nor inspiration from any international sources. They're horrible all on their own.
All the noise that happened recently with the 3G shutdown tells us just how many old phones there out there on the cell networks. Running old iOS/Android versions with a gazillion exploits. I think it's a good thing that telcos NAT their customers. The last thing we want is for the Internet to be able to easily connect to those devices.
ipv6 does also reduce network congestion and improve routing efficiency.
Unless you are moving gigabits of data, you won't notice the difference the smaller header payload of ipv6 offers. That's some serious ePenis bragging bullshit I see all the time among nerds who want to say they're on the latest and fastest technology without understanding that while they are correct (uploading/downloading a gigabyte over ipv6 will probably complete a few seconds faster over ipv6 instead of ipv4), they're also making a big deal about nothing.
Your issue is you want to be able to access your home network over mobile infrastructure, while you are paying for a basic phone plan. Optus does offer what you want, but to business customers. Telstra will also permit you to apply a static IP to some of their plans, I managed to do this for a client about 10 years ago. It was just an add-on that Telstra offered. They were on a business plan, but I don't remember whether a business plan was a requirement.
Genuine question:
What does ipv6 give you that ipv4 does not? I genuinely can't tell the difference as an Internet browser. Particularly on the phone.
WA has an election on March 8. So they can't do it until mid April at the earliest, now. They need to allow six weeks campaign time leading up to an election.
They'll probably see how the wind is blowing in WA before they announce. I predict early May.
At the moment, there are 3 (yes, three) Liberal members in the State parliament in WA. They'll obviously get more in March, but how many more is anyone's guess.
33km on the bike as a commute is amazing! I only travel 12km and that is 25 minutes each-way.
Having the energy and commitment to ride 33km at the end of a long work day is very impressive. That has to be over an hour each way.
Woolies would keep the crap if people bought it. I'm unconvinced they would drop the range if it were making them buckets of money.
I'll bet it's loads more profit per shelf to fill that space with back-to-school stuff.
It's us who don't want Australia Day stuff. Possibly because we don't exactly have wads of spare disposable income to spend on luxuries? Maybe because we have a personal stance on Australia Day? Maybe we just don't care?
What if albo just legislates the body in.
It will be repealed next time the LNP get in, just like everything else.
We are well-past this stage, but at least the place that our kids attended is "Meeting NQS". Which stands to reason, it was a council-run centre.
