Advice from treasury indicates that corporate profits are not high enough to sustain future budgets, to stimulate growth we are removing the minimum wage AND cutting company tax rates to 5%

I agree. Everyone should get paid the same regardless of parental wealth or job title. If there is only one wage we no longer have a need for a minimum wage.

Queensland police have arrested a senior One Nation adviser.

Sean Black, a media and policy adviser to outspoken senator Malcolm Roberts, was taken into custody in Brisbane on Wednesday.

From last page but lmao, this dude used to be my rental agent and accused me of domestic violence against my then gf and tried to get us kicked out. Had some very strange phone calls from him. He backed down when we sent a formal complaint to the RTA and then he hosed off somewhere. Like, a new agent showed up one day and when we asked where Sean was they just said "he's missing."

He's also banned from appearing at Brisbane City Council and had to work from Logan due to bullying.

I applied for and received a personal loan today and the bank spent 90% of the time I was there talking to me about getting a home loan and how I can do it with my parents ans guarantors and how the market is only going up so I should definitely invest now.

Im like 'guys I literally just borrowed 25 grand off you because I am terrible at saving for things. I mean you can even see how much I earn and spend and without even plugging that info into a computer I can tell you its a bad idea.'

Is it CommBank? In the past week I've had them reach out three times trying to get me to borrow money.

Quadrant magazine today “unreservedly apologised” to ABC managing director Michelle Guthrie for an online article that suggested it would have been better off if the Manchester terrorist had bombed the public broadcaster’s Sydney headquarters.

The magazine’s editor in chief, Keith Windschuttle, responded to Ms Guthrie late today in a letter agreeing the “intemperate wording” in the article was a “serious error of judgment and should not have been published”.

The article will be withdraw from the magazine’s website, he said.

“Even though I do not share all of the interpretations expressed in your letter, I accept your assurance about the offence it caused you and your staff. You have my unreserved apology for any concerns it might have given you,” Mr Windschuttle wrote.

Earlier, Communications Minister Mitch Fifield blasted Quadrant for its “sick and unhinged” comments about the ABC after contained in the article.

Perhaps now the ABC management will appreciate the way the non latte set feel about the usual attitude from the Q&A guests and host.

DAVID
Quadrant only saying what most people feel regarding the abc and their apologist panel..

AdamR
No need to apologise or retract. The ABC is a disgraceful organisation who deserve to be blown up. Perhaps not literally but either through heavy funding cuts or privatisation.
As a taxpayer it sickens me that we pay their pay exorbitant salaries all the while they bleat on about fairness and promote their infantile socialist causes while refusing to engage real issues.

MARY
Now the ABC know how many Australians feel when they hear the biased denialism of Islamic terrorism the ABC promotes and we ask for an apology. Now they demand an apology when the truth is presented to them in straight language.

Ray
It is about Time "Our ABC "was outed for being the Left Wing Mouthpiece that it is. Our Tax Dollars are wasted on this Bloated Propaganda machine. The Article was probably written in frustation because if the crass statements by lefties stacking Q and A, I for one, am fed up with comments like , Terrorism being an Irritant . or more likely to be killed by a falling Fridge or we just have to get used to It . but whatever you do not get angry at these followers of the most feminist. religion. or the religion of peace. It is not Racism . Islam is not a Race ! ISIS hate us and our way of Life, and they will never give up until they win. Mr Fifield needs to sort out the ABC . He is worse as the Minister then his Predecessor. as for sick and unhinged I have seen and heard worse from the left collective at Ultimo . and where was the Minister then?

H&M have a decent enough range though and aren't too overpriced, I don't know about UNIQLO though.

Topshop didn't launch online shopping in Australia until March this year, however, so that probably isn't helping them overly either. The one here in Melb CBD is usually busy but you also have to keep in mind that a lot of people just look for ideas then go online shopping to get better deals or bargains from other places.

I can only speak with anecdotes, but it seemed from my view being around all three of those shops in the Melbourne CBD that Topshop was far less popular than those two, though.

The dress I bought from them once was pretty low-quality, too; I know that's anecdotal as all hell, but it's why I never shopped there more than once.

I'm pretty sure the clothes at UNIQLO are of a really good quality and very low key, while H&M are also decent quality and a bit more showy. I bought poo poo at Topman once and it was garbage so they appear to have made their bed.

This is what I've noticed as well. Uniqlo is decent - somewhat business casual sort of stuff. H&M is cheaper casual wear that isn't amazing quality but is cheap af. No idea about Topshop poo poo though.

poo poo yeah, Uniqlo's pretty great simple stuff--solid colors, decent make. I'm fashion-illiterate, but I can put some decent ensembles together out of Uniqlo clothes. You just have to either concede or own the fact that you might wind up looking like a superhero in casual gear that's suspiciously coordinated with their iconic costume.
