Ah. Thanks for the explanation!

It's deliberately obtuse to discourage anyone from claiming income support.

/2 She was a parent in the late 50s, 60s and almost totally responsible for all parental decisions. As a generation the men of the day had little interaction or responsibility for their younger children's immediate needs. She juggled paid and unpaid work and felt she deserved some time to herself.

Fascinating stuff. My mum made it clear to her 3 adult kids that she was not available to be a source of source of childcare, that she had done her time, educated herself as an adult and was looking forward to life without immediate responsibility for infants. She was a grandma at 53 and died at 58.

I have no idea who Charlie is or your references to Country Roads. I don't follow Australian rules football.

Agree, not nice. I wouldn't regard that as team preparation. Innoculating against a group response to Wharfie Time however . . .

Of course he would have. That's good team preparation. Such a basic mistake.

Isn't that just basic sports psychology? Even the coach of the local Under 11 side down the road knows to go hard until the whistle/siren. Bonkers.

Young women (Gen Z) in Australia are voting left by a large percentage, (67%) compared to their male counterparts. UK, US, Germany, Sweden also report a gender divide in recent voting. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04...

'Not recognised': What politicians don't get about young women
Experts say young women are a "really important" voting category but are sometimes "not recognised", as Vote Compass data shows gen Z females to be deeply progressive.

How can a house of parliament contain APPOINTED people then be regarded as a legitimate democracy?

Pity that same concern for protection of girls wasn't and still isn't shown to the victims of Epstein. As yet millions of files unreleased, and real harm to girls and boys unpunished. How about some attention to that.

Extraordinary effort and resources to target and 'other' 5-10 children. Unconscionable.

How about treating it like the addiction that it is? Stop using tobacco as a tax milch cow of the poor and make prescriptions available for vapes for those adults who are addicted. As for the chemists, a customer is a customer.

Absolutely.

boothwobblies.bsky.social @boothwobblies.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
I would argue that that is the role of government. To iron out inequalities that see passed on wealth benefit a few, entrenching privilege over generations.

US declares it will accelerate military presence in Australia
Defence Minister Richard Marles has met with his US counterpart in Washington DC to discuss an expansion of the US military presence at Australian military bases.

Yes I agree and that was my point about the generational divide. Older people tend to have the invested income attracting the higher interest.

boothwobblies.bsky.social @boothwobblies.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Isn't there also a generational bias here? With the boomer+ generations needing less or no debt, houses paid off, superannuation (401K) balances to spend, the burden falling disproportionately to those who are starting out in their working lives, borrowing, having children etc.

Ha ha ha ha. Reminds me of using (very out of date) books of maps then writing out each stage on yellow post it notes and sticking it to the steering wheel. Worked well as long as there were no deviations.

As the birthrate continues to decline the pressure to increase the retirement age will be stronger. You can die on the job.

Shout out to @csiro.bsky.social and Bureau of Met comrades after the Tibet climate change disaster. You have been warning us, with evidence, about the potentially catastrophic impacts of climate change for so long; been derided for it, sacked for it, defunded for it. And here it is. Awful.

JFC. Every time I watch the US news and know that it could in fact happen here. We're a bee's dick away from totalitarianism.
