#australian values

[time-is-restored]

our foreign affairs minister shut off her phone line over the last few days. within the last few weeks of me calling it went from automated message about who to contact for consular assistance, then straight to a person -> prerecorded message with a dedicated 'press 1 to register your views on the israeli palestinian conflict' -> if you want to express your views on Anything you are taken to a message saying 'we can't always answer every call, please contact us via our website instead' and it hangs up on you. can't talk to a person.

i can still so vividly remember the years when penny wong (foreign affairs) specifically used to be the one good politician everyone would look towards for hope in our political space. we wanted her to be prime minister. idpol analysis specifically hoped that her race and sexuality had granted her a more empathetic and critical perspective on politics. now she's the one being called out by name in protest chants. our prime minister used to attend pro-palestinian rallies - we trusted them, our muslim + arab population trusted them. and now This.

apparently ethics and values mean nothing in the face of supporting US interests in the middle east. another minute that any of them spend in power is one minute to many.

it really sucks actually that australia doesn't have a go-away-for-uni culture bc some of the closest and strongest friendships ive made were from staying in a dorm during my exchange like i've somehow remained friends with some of these people across the world and for 10+ years now, while i don't have any friendships from uni that lasted at all.

My mother seriously just took the muffin I was given at a bakery today bc we were there when they were closing so they gave it to me for free and says she’s giving it to our neighbour bc I’m so fat I clearly don’t need it I’m fucking LIVID

my greatest and most inconsequential pet peeve will always be cc's who give a value in Dollars without ever specifying Which dollar theyre talking about.

[allegedly-human-uwu]

The fact they didnt immediately red flag this and insisted on finishing the race with george in the middle of the track - insane, inexcusable.

There wasnt even have a full car width of asphalt on either side of him, and you’d have a driver who just been scrambled through multiple G forces climb out of a toppled car IN THE MIDDLE OF A LIVE RACE TRACK???

Jfc. Unbelievable.

george was BEGGING the fia for a red flag only for the fia to out a virtual safety car instead.

with the rate of inflation and price gouging, that day may come sooner than you'd like

y'know what the US Dollar fucking sucks at? being physical. paper money is awful and the majority of USD denominations are primarily paper. make everything coins. lemme hold a 20$ coin like it's normal

I’m so impressed to see Luca win in a five-setter against a player such as Lorenzo Musetti. I love Lorenzo’s tennis, so it was a pleasure to watch him play, and it made me all the more happy to see that Luca used a similar play style here. Really great match, on both sides!

Happy New Financial Year!

Happy New Financial Year to all in #Auslaw. It’s that strange time of the year when we start all over again as if the previous 12 months didn’t happen. Only it is not quite as simple as that. From today: most lawyers will be charging clients 10% or more extra for their services, with little or no explanation about where the extra value is being delivered and with the new fee rate being…
