They are always asking the people to suit their agenda. What are we missing while we waste our brethe on the topic? Here is our settlement from yesterday. We have always absorbed as a cost. $0.23 per customer! There are bigger issues in the food & beverage industry than this!
Our end of day settlement for card payments from our sleepy social enterprise.  The summary says $684.80, zero refunds less net fees of $9.54 gives us $675.26 as a net settlement.  Simples.  No need for fuss or complaint.  Trust me there are bigger issues than these on the food and beverage industry!!!!!

In 2025, Australians gave Albo's Labor Govt a landslide victory and an increased majority. I think this cartoon sums-up what many of us are now thinking. Vote @greens.org.au. #auspol Image credit: @MWhalan on X.

Family turns bare island into reef oasis after guano mining destroys it
Lady Elliot Island sat bare, bleak and silent for 100 years after guano miners ravaged it, leaving a moonscape devoid of life. Then in the 1960s, one family started planting trees.

One in six kids in poverty. Increasing housing stress. Fossil-fueled climate policy. Our closest alliance with the fascist US. Enabling the #GazaGenocide. Policy written by corporate donors. If this is what the “centre” delivers, “sensible” it is not. #auspol podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/7...

As the Coalition veers right, should Albo hold the centre?

I think this is an opportunity for them to talk about how do we rehabilitate all the misogynist bastards that Australia has been producing since colonisation. It would be nice to not hear the one sentence repeatedly. It’s like a broken record. I want to hear the whole track. What is next?

Another high profile offender. What can be done with this information to create change? Years ago supported a documentary that talked about solutions. Demonising offenders doesn’t help according to experts, so when do we start talking about what comes next? How does a DV offender rehabilitate?

Police with automatic weapons though …. Usually at the airport! (USA; Vietnam; France) Shame to see it on the streets in NSW. Is it because authorities roll out “heavy” costumes that we have “less” incidents in our communities?

I don’t know what it is about “armed” police and my travels. I’ve been “lucky” enough to visit two major cities when they were “closed” It’s an interesting experience. Bangkok 2008 - Thai political crisis London 2019 - extinction rebellion.

There were no riots in 2019. A bunch of community elders sitting in key spots and some of them knitting. I understand your point. Everyday patrols might not wear it everyday, these were everyday Bobby’s dressed up. It wasn’t special forces or riot police (except downing st)

So, did these pills just get invented? Why did not a single doctor ever mention that there’s something - prescription based I could have been taking?! Have tried it and none of the issues have arisen like with off the shelf ibuprofen …. Within days my symptoms have improved. 3/4

makes it harder for men to actually seek the help they need. Having depression is not an excuse to be violent. Male violence against women is always a choice.

In October 2019, London was shut down by extinction rebellion. Automatic rifles and full riot gear on every cop. They bring it. But that the oldies were not any threat! They arrested them for food colouring and they were peaceful. Confronting for first time in London though.

NSW govt is turning the place into a police state. I certainly don't recall any such aggro response after the Port Arthur massacre. And there's 250 of them! What are they all going to do, apart from marching thru the streets intimidating everyone. I'll definitely be giving Sydney a miss.

We don’t think the case for this has been made. One constant in the global history of policing is that every weapon given to cops, they will eventually use. Therefore, every force escalation requires compelling justification.

The Greens under new leadership have made the decision to be a government-in-waiting and many Australians are energised by that Its not only a mess made by Albanese and Labor, its a dysfunctional mess created by major parties in our body politic that serves no-one johnmenadue.com/post/2026/10...

Greens can hope to pick up the mess Labor and Albanese have made
