Yes, but the chasm maybe too wide? Their principles are diametrically opposed -sex vs gender- both purport to protect the vulnerable. Their supporters are particularly fierce in defence. It’s a minefield on social media. Even ambivalent comments attract angry replies, no neutrality allowed it seems

Defamation, I think. It seems to be about their interactions over on twitter/x from what I can gather

I suspect that the already well-to-do financial advisors and fund managers will make a fortune guiding their clients towards a more tax-friendly pathway.

#auspol I’ve just deleted an earlier post about 7.30 last night on ABC because I incorrectly referred to Bandt instead of Littleproud, 🙄unfortunately it was reposted and sits somewhere on Bluesky no doubt receiving comments correcting me. Sorry about that.

Then there *umbrella* deterrents. They’re used today to stops rats from climbing fruit trees, a wide cone shape around the trunk. If the store was on stilts or poles that would work. They would have to be made with material tough enough so the rats couldn’t gnaw through it. Ok, that’s all I’ve got 🐀

Not sure but … Citrus repels rats. They avoid it because it affects their respiratory system. But, back then citrus trees were probably only specific to certain countries. So local essential oils maybe 🤔 There are also rat snakes which feed on rodents and aren’t harmful to humans. 🤷🤷‍♀️

You’re looking at trends which impact the Balance Sheet. P&L is a snapshot of one year.

Balance sheets show the ‘health’ of the company. P&L shows activity in the year and equity brought forward. So the expression Balance Sheet is valid.
