Well look at that - the ALP and Greens working together. What next ye gads, dogs and cats living together in domestic harmony? Shows you what's possible when people put on their fully functional adult pants instead of throwing rancid meat to their hangry, rusted on micro-bases.

I've been asked before about the 'risk' of studying at smaller or regional units. I don't think they are risky due to the quality of their teaching. The real risk is the quality of their management and the possibility that courses could be cancelled with no warning.

It’s that time of the year again when Australian companies celebrate the fact that it’s almost the Friday after a pilgrim thanksgiving holiday in America by providing discounts to unrelated goods

Well fuck that

We’re raising our prices by 10% and donating the difference (+ an extra 15%) to charity

Have we reached peak dysfunction?! The NACC handed $1.1M to MA Services - the firm running a Nauru security operation linked with the Finks bikie gang. They're also guarding the ACIC who are literally tasked with taking down bikie gangs🤯

Just to cut through the backslapping: the very small emissions reduction (2%) is nowhere near enough even for our own local targets. These are also the easiest cuts (ie from local pwr generation bc we are buying solar panels) and are only in one sector.
Exported emissions are 4x bigger and growing.
