No but you see the universe always makes more bills when you pay them and they are not at all generated on a highly predictable monthly, quarterly and yearly basis that even a machine could understand. It's total cosmic chaos of expenses because you didn't treat yourself

While the opinion polls continue to deliver bad news for the Turnbull government, it clings to the prime minister’s personal edge over Bill Shorten as proof that all is not lost. It’s true that despite a sharp decline in his own personal approval since late 2015, the Essential Report shows that Malcolm Turnbull maintains a 39-26 lead as preferred prime minister. The Coalition has form in snatching elections by personalising the political contest and defining Labor through their opponents: think Kim Beazley’s “lack of ticker”, Mark Latham’s “L-plates” and “Ju-liar” as textbook examples of the dark art of political character assassination. The Coalition has been probing to define Shorten for some time. First it was the clunky attempt to christen him “power Bill” – as the freshly minted Tony Abbott fought to keep his climate wars going from office. That attack went the way of its lead attacker. Then there was the attempt to create “crooked Bill”, turning the taxpayer-funded guns of the Heydon royal commission onto Shorten with a terms of reference skilfully calibrated to target his time as a moderate union official. Under evidence Shorten was forced to justify his model of centrist unionism, the right-wing lynch-mob wringing their hands about his betrayal at the same time as they were condemning the CFMEU for being too militant. When Shorten was cleared by the commission and endorsed by former business leaders as a great example of a pragmatic union leader delivering for his members, that line of attack was also ditched. At the start of this year, a new thrust began, call it “boot-licking Bill”, a weird twist on the politics of envy by attacking him for the powerful business contacts he had made during his union career. Central to this attack is the contention that Shorten plays both sides of the street – that he talks about being the champion of the worker but he would rather be hobnobbing with the rich. That this attack was led so vociferously by a multi-millionaire who had to personally fund his last election campaign to hold onto power, did tend to position the argument as “that’s not the sort of chap we want in our club”. Whatever, it seemed to fall away as soon as it had been launched. Now the Coalition seems to have settled on the more generic “do anything Bill”, building a story that Shorten doesn’t believe in anything and will do anything and say anything to get elected (presumably unlike other politicians). What’s clear is that notwithstanding the preferred PM numbers, the Coalition has struggled to make any individual attack stick. Despite its best efforts, the Coalition has yet to identify Bill’s achilles heel. That’s because strong negative attacks need to be rooted in greater truths. Each of the successful Coalition character attacks in recent times has resonated because they were based on a fundamental – rather than a confected – flaw: Beazley’s indecision, Latham’s inexperience and recklessness, Gillard’s malleability. So does our latest Essential Report offer the Coalition any clues? On the regular leadership attribute questions we ask there is not a lot of clearly fertile ground. On key negatives, Malcolm Turnbull is seen as more out of touch, more arrogant and more intolerant. Yes, the PM is seen as more intelligent, and incumbency has delivered him marginally higher ratings on capability and vision, but there is no emerging character flaw here to build a movement around. Digging further into personal qualities, with a series of alternate leader attributes we developed first for the federal election and repeat this week, we get a richer picture of how the two contenders characters are perceived. Turnbull’s real-life appeal is transactional, a successful person who we would ask for advice, or dine or travel with – after all he knows where the good spots are. Bill’s appeal is more relational – going for a beer, helping you if your car broke down or if you needed a spare pair of hands with the renovations. Despite the wealth disparity, he’s also more likely to lend you $100 if you need it. You’d even trust him with your pet. Yes, it’s a little trite, but there is a deeper truth here that goes to the Coalition’s struggles to define their opponent. Despite his sometimes awkward presentation, the opposition leader has managed to build a perception of someone who does more than just talk, someone who is prepared to pitch in and get his hands dirty when it’s needed. Or maybe it’s just that when forced to contrast him with a prime minister who promised so much but has delivered so little, a more grounded leader doesn’t seem so bad at all.

And bills literally multiply if you don't pay them. That 10% of your income is going to be spent paying late fees. What a treat! e:^The greatest truth about Shorten is that he has no position, so that one might work, but it's also only slightly less true for the rest of them.

I worked with him briefly a few years ago. Im pretty sure his blog is still up detailing his psychedelic experiences and consequent mental health treatment. what did he think was going to happen when he publicly announced not only violating the terms of use by damaging the card, but also having it duplicated by a third party onto another device? and RF chip antennas are pretty lovely when they flex and bend or you change the length of it, as he did. the video of him awkwardly half-bending over and rubbing the outside of his hand on the scanner was the best thing about it. all that trouble to have a slightly less convenient method of scanning your Opal card. well done.

The transperth cards don't work when they are next to an EMV card (visa/MasterCard) so you will just have to choose your favourite and carry around a pile of severed hands for the rest so they don't interfere with each other

Chicago had an awesome system where *any* payWave card could be used. The card wouldn't be charged unless you didn't have enough prepaid credit loaded. The purchased cards were basically just prepaid Visa cards with no $$$ on them.

So uh, is my job agency just loving with me by making me attend 13 appointments a month now? I've been on Newstart for 10 months but surely this is way beyond my minimum requirements? Already fired an email to the DoE for clarification.

Already fired an email to the DoE for clarification. That's almost a part time job on its own. I bet they are trying to inflate some kind of metric they can milk money from - thats literally 60% of the business days in a month (assuming you don't have two appointments in a day)
