Maybe we should just call productivity what it is - corporate profits. And while we’re at it, any mechanism that calls for higher unemployment is vile and inhumane.

RW economists respond to rate rise by calling for, Increased GST, cuts to govt spending and increased productivity. No mention of poor management systems, increased company profits, declining business investment, increased executive salaries. Just screw battling Australians 🤬

The same conflicted media & right wing parties who are now demanding the govt “slash spending” spent all year pushing for more spending on tax breaks for wealthy investors. Let’s be real: they love spending. They just hate funding things that actually matter. #auspol

Absolutely. Just part of the fun of OA ☹️. My worst week ever was the first. When things are bad I use neoprene wraps at night that seems to help. I’ve never been able to identify a trigger for the bad spells. They just happen. Good luck!

The joys of modern camping… The only trouble is once you take a step forward, it’s very hard to go back. Fridges being a case in point. I remember the joys of food floating inin eskies.

Yeah I get that, but there’s cheap imported ones and then decent ones. The newer ones are so much quieter. It was at Wilpenna on a freezing night that we saw a roo siting beside a fire warming up, like one of the family.

We once had a thunderstorm and hail at Uluṟu. Amazing waterfalls everywhere! But a hint of rain on the darling river run and it was like an ice skating rink and incredibly dangerous

We had a thunderstorm when camping at Wilpenna Pound. It was fantastic as the sound rolled around the hills for minutes at a time.

Can highly recommend the Acacia Ridge Walk and the other one that starts behind the accommodation and goes via the pinnacles. (Also a night astronomy tour with Doug if he’s around)

It’s actually the richness of language where words can have many meanings, often completely unrelated to one another.

Given how much she earns, that doesn’t seem like that much. But hard agree, at least she donates something.

They are arresting U.S. Air Force Officers for free speech and U.S. Olympians for curiosity—but not rich men for raping children with Jeffrey Epstein.

But who would you donate to? With Albo being such a limp lettuce Labor is out, with the Greens specialising in wedge politics they’re out. The Teals are still mostly financially conservative …

Here we go again. Most of the MSM have completely lost any credibility. Even the most vague acceptance of what she stands for or says shoves us further towards the disaster that is the US

Hell yes, @cathywilcox.bsky.social
When contacted by SkyNews.com.au at the time, Ms Wilcox unleashed an extraordinary expletive-laden rant.

“Why in God's name do you think I would answer the questions of Murdoch's petty little propaganda operation, to give them more fuel for their campaign of hatred?” she said.

“The irony of me having to answer to charges of hatred when your grubby outfit gives not one shit about what you do to people you target.

“Remind the boss about how much they cared about free speech when one of theirs was in the spotlight.

“Political correctness gone mad, eh? You and your hit squad goons can fuck right off.”

Just catching up with this in the middle of nowhere (outback) and there’s some odd choices. Many that owe much in homage to other well recognised works, more than truly original. And how on earth did Eugene Onegin (opera) not make the list???!!
