Legal advice requested. TL;DR at the bottom Details: A few weeks ago I attended a BBQ at my friends parents house. He was house sitting for them while they were on holiday. I got there late and everyone was already eating. I sat down, got a beer and grabbed a snag and some grilled halloumi. I felt something get caught in my throat and coughed a bit to try and dislodge it. Thought it was a bit of bread crust or a piece of char or gristle, kept eating. Noticed a jabbing pain so I stopped eating and tried every method under the sun to dislodge it - eating bread, gargling cola, drinking honey, spewing. Nothing worked. Ended up leaving after an hour of trying to have a good time and went to the local ER as I was staying at my parents house for the night. Usual 2hr wait at the ER for a Saturday night. Finally see a doctor who gets me to say AHHHH and shines torch in my mouth. Orders an x-ray which comes up blank. Tells me it's simply organic material and it'll break down overnight. I go home and sleep. Next day it's still there. Go about my business but pain is getting worse, every time I swallow it's a 50/50 chance of stabbing pain or nothing. My throat is swelling up like it would from tonsillitis. I go to my ER. Another 2 hour wait and I get seen to by a nurse. He actually takes the time to look into my throats and sees something. Comes back with an ice cold metal tongue depressor and some long tweezers and removes a 1" metal wire from my throat. The wire is from a BBQ cleaning brush. It was lodged in end-first like a needle. I get a paddle pop and I'm OK to go home. No pain after. Anyway, the dad comes back from holidays and he hears the story and calls me. Assures me he is sorry and wants to help seek compensation from the manufacturer. TL;DR: woolies has taken their lovely BBQ brushes off the market and I'm now at the stage they are asking me for a figure to make this go away. I have zero experience on this matter so no idea what Would be considered fair. This isn't in court yet and I don't really want it to be, but I have some expensive unrelated medical stuff I could really use the money for. Thoughts?

This is clearly a long-con scam to get a free bristle suitable for a BBQ cleaning brush. Have you tried buying one on the black market recently? Impossible. Everyone just looks at you like you asked for moon cheese or something equally rare and valuable.

So the SA Labor government is, as of today, a minority government, as a Labor member quit the party because she lost preselection to the health minister Jack Snelling, after the electoral boundary changes by the SAEC resulted in him moving to her seat of Florey, and the former Labor state secretary winning preselection in his previous seat of Playford. She claimed faceless men bullied her out in factional warfare, but they really don't seem that faceless to me. Were the SA Liberals ready to pounce on this new weakness? You bet they weren't, because the same day they got caught doing almost exactly the same thing, intervening in a preselection to prevent one of the opposition leader Steve Marshall's key factional allies from getting rolled in step 1 of a right wing party room coup.

It makes sense for the grid regulator to specify ride through settings, and they've already moved to fix that.

50,000 properties without power in North QLD, further proof of the failure of renewable energy

Imagine if back in the '90s we'd thought, well, climate change needs to be prevented and even if it's not true coal runs out anyway, so let's have a massive government program of subsidies for developing and investing in renewable energy, I mean, this is Australia, we get bombarded with tens of thousands of square kilometres of radioactive sunlight every single day, let's become a world leader in solar and have a booming industry exporting that tech to the rest of the world. What loving stupid alternate universe did we end up in that drizzly England and Germany have more solar capacity than the most sun-baked continent on the loving planet, while our politicians wave coal around in parliament? Does any one of these loving ladder-climbing suits thinks beyond the next election cycle? Does Scott Morrison ever wonder if a picture of him holding up a lump of coal might appear in every textbook in 2100, and what the caption might read?

I used to organise in the LaTrobe and people there are poor as gently caress and will struggle without big employers like this. I'm not saying they can't do something different with power of course, it's just the few years of pain for that region is gonna be rough.

The best part is the LNP will win govt in QLD, flip all the power assets off to their mates and then the next cyclone rolls around and no one is connected to the grid anyway because the mates jacked up the prices.
