I had 3 services with Optus, was always slacking, consistently nearly a month late. Then, once I was 2 months late, they cut off my services and said I wasn't making regular payments.
Also managed to post separate bills every 10 days. Debt collector was more organisd and only posted one bill.

The ideal outcome would be the Liberal party itself taking on the debt and the Moira Deeming threatening to bankrupt the Victoria Liberal Party. Then, the federal Liberal party dissolving the Victorian branch to protect themselves.
It would be best for everyone.

It's probably more secure for his use-case, modern version would by default be sending all his documents to the US via one-drive.
But anyone serious about security wouldn't use proprietary software at all, open-source is the only way.

Is this person's opinion generated by ChatGPT ?
If it's been watching MSM, I'm sure this is the sort of logic a sentient machine would use to try and win our favour. (It would see us as complete diiots)

"knowingly signed the death warrants..."
That's a bit over the top, even given current levels of hysteria.

I wonder if the rand damage from the low liberal support at the federal level will sway some independents to drop their support for the government.

In Victoria's Liberal party, the opposition is in opposition to itself.

There is weekly modelling shared on bluesky that shows renewables with 5 hours storage covers 95% IIRC of power needs, so gas firming is still needed. Will try and find the link

One of them tried to tell me the toxic "chemicals" from renewables are worse than from nuclear. The "chemicals" last forever, and nuclear waste doesn't
These "chemicals" are actually heavy elements, lead, cadnium, etc.
I was threatened with a blocking, I'm stupid for not believing, apparently

Your going to have a lot of social problems in your life if you can't correlate the two things we have said.
You don't need anyone's permission to stop talking.

You tell me to educate myself, but you are in disagreement with the consensus of experts....
Nuclear waste is dangerous because it literally can't be contained, it very slowly works its way through containers.
Metals can be recycled, or contained if that was desirable, it doesn't need 24h guards.

Renewables don't depend on forever chemicals as their energy source.
Nuclear is more expensive than renewables for many reason, and the difference is o ly going to increase.
The reason MAGA exists is because people think they are entitled to their own anti-intellectual facts.
comment in response to
post
Nuclear waste needs to be secured and guarded almost forever. It's a big cost that is usually ignored.

I see it as a failure at a deep social level, Trump still has reasonable popularity considering what he has done.
Democracy doesn't always lead to good governance (look at Russia), it needs good people's values.
The US won't easily recover from this, a lot of people need re-education.

The crimes against humanity Israel is committing have a greater impact on attitudes against people connected to Israel.
If there were no protests, it still wouldn't be accepted or forgotten.

Wouldn't most super contributions come from compulsary payments... so incentives aren't going to make much difference.
If it's a good idea to encourage more general investment funds, more than is needed for retirement, then why only discount it for super funds ?

There is no winner, so they pretend it didnt happen and have a new election in that electorate only.

Can we read anything into these preference flows, are they following HTV's ?

They have no chance anyway, this term is about rebuilding,
not winning.
Libs can pick up lower house seats next election by trying to be Labor lite. Nats can pick up senate seats next election because they wont have joint ticket
There will also be a shakeout of Lib held rural seats that nats want

Carbon credits for burning savannah is a weird one.
Company could get carbon credit for sparsely planting trees, then get carbon credit for burning them before it becomes a forest.

Why ?
comment in response to
post
There will be competition between Greens and Libs to win concessions from Labor for their side of politics.
Greens will be more keen to win concessions on some legislation and Liberals others.
Independents are the biggest losers this election, lost a lot of power from when it was tight.

If this judge doesn't get immunity, there will surely still be a lot federal employees worried about what happens after Trump.
The regime won't want them thinking about the future, so I think they have to let her off out of self-interest i expect.

If SCOTUS doesn't give immunity for federal employees doing their job, aren't all those ICE employees (for example) going to be in a lot of trouble ?

People are only choosing who their local representative is, they aren't choosing who the government is.

That's ignorance on many fronts.
- your ignoring prefences, which is disenfranchising voters
- your making assumptions about a national outcome based on local results.
- your making assumptions about individuals voting strategy.

What about 12pm that is pretty weird for me. Its 11:59am, then 1m later it's 12:00 pm, then an hour later it's 1:01 pm
Why cant we have 00:00

Calling it an 'unearned majority' isn't fair. Preferences are important, it's how voters more accurately reflect their wishes.
~55% voted Labor after preferences, and they got ~53% of seats, would be less proportional and less reflective of voters wishes without preferences
