This is also concerning:
Here, there was a general presumption that consent could be provided once, and no further consent or negotiation at subsequent events would be required.
I kind of roll my eyes at the consent subjects that are becoming mandatory at universities thinking this stuff is obvious, but clearly people actually need this education.
Here's the actual study (should be free to read): https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10508-024-02937-y
It looks more like how he looked in the 2000s, not whatever the hell he is now.
I'm sure if elected he'll find some pretext to bring these policies back (or something even worse).
EDIT: Oh and "wasteful spending" starting to be linked to Trump/Musk/DOGE may be a good thing in the near to medium term, since it draws a line between cuts to public service and the US (which is currently toxic).
I can tell you the pictures on pouches do nothing to deter me.
I get your point, but it's less about people that are already addicted, but reducing the number of new people taking up the habit. And if even a small proportion of smokers quit due to the imagery, that's still a win in terms of public health outcomes.
Consider limiting to independents that have a sane platform (as some are just extreme right-wingers in disguise), and the Greens.
And you kind of stated it implicitly, but ranking Labor above the Coalition is a given.
Among the examples listed was the GST applied to the sale of imported services and digital products to Australian consumers.
Blame the Coalition for this one. Although the fact tech companies are now throwing a tantrum over it makes me less inclined to care.
Yes, shallow and pedantic.
If your parents didn’t vaccinate you or if (like in my case) the vaccine didn’t exist when you were a kid, go get the MMR shot.
Also, if you were born between 1964-1994 in Australia you probably only had one dose if you did have the vaccine, so you should get a booster as an adult (since 2 doses is the general recommendation for lifetime protection).

Calibre is used as a server all the time, see calibre-web.
calibre-web is technically not Calibre and is written and maintained by different people, although it does use the Calibre database (and I believe it must be created with desktop Calibre initially). But it's a good option and I highly recommend it.
you just load your books from Calibre (or right through USB if you’re hardcore for some reason) and you’re basically off to the races.
There's also an OPDS server option with calibre-web that you can use to load books from if you're using koreader.
You can also use the Kobo server replacement option with calibre-web although I personally couldn't get it to work at the time I tried it. But this will give you a sync option that works like the official Kobo server which is quite nice.
I think it's mainly Vietnam tariffs that will hit the Switch 2 (Nintendo moved manufacturing their to minimise tariffs in the first place). But they are harsh enough in their own right.
