Someone from ASIO is going around Canberra salvos stores with a truck buying up filing cabinets as we speak.

I do enjoy the way the ABC had managed to frontload all the poo poo damaging to Labor, such as Wong leaving classified artifacts in a desk drawer, or the AFP losing documents WHILE LABOR WERE IN CHARGE, while the poo poo that's actually more damning to the Liberal party goes at the bottom, where lazy comment thread trolls fear to scroll.

bandaid.friend posted:At least Gibbs was on the original shortlist. I wonder what Constance has against Ian Kiernan? I wonder why the Libs do not want to name a ship after an environmentalist, even a very uncontroversial one  Cartoon posted:What all of us should have against Ian. You see in the seventies and eighties there was a thing called bottom of the harbour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bottom_of_the_harbour_tax_avoidance Ian was the Skase of his generation and was last seen evading creditors on his yacht as it sailed for international waters through Sydney heads sometime in about 1983. This is a good reason not to name it after him, but lol if the Libs give a poo poo about this past indiscretion.

Oh wait there's more Labor bashing down the bottom too. The NBN one is baffling, because nothing I'm reading there seems particularly bad or controversial, in contrast with the language seeming to indicate that it is?? I guess the ABC are just trying to mitigate the inevitable fallout, but that's still terrible jounalism. edit: The Pink Batts one is even shakier, jesus loving christ ABC.

Lol there’s a decent chance the greens are going to gently caress up taking Feeney’s seat at the inevitable by election. There’s a move to expel Alex Bhatal, who has spent a long time building relationships and profile in the seat and should beat Feeney, as payback for her helping get Lydia Thorpe (an indigenous working class woman) preselected for the state seat of Northcote instead of the anointed waspy male candidate favoured by a bunch of greens in the local council.

You can get many types for less than or around $5/kg dried. Also at both Coles and Woolworths the cheapest non dairy milk is $1.15/l, which is not nothing, but you are making it sound like a luxury.

I know these hurdles are not insurmountable, and it is possible to eat cleanly and ethically on a budget; but until governments or other bodies are willing to educate disadvantaged people on this they're going to keep eating cheap processed meat and dairy until the literal cows come home.

Current sitting councillor on Kim’s ticket I’m not sure there is an end game beyond someone watched game of thrones and really liked the “chaos is a ladder” bit I wouldn’t be surprised if there was resentment that Victoria has taken over from Tasmania as the crown jewel of the party, particularly from people in NSW who think it should have been them

Legumes don't just come dried, for example you can buy lentils in cans. One of my main sources of protein is tofu which, fried with vegetables in a wok, takes less than half an hour. You don't have to be an artisanal chef to make vegetarian dishes.

This is horseshit. I've wound making vegetarian and healthy dinners (like chicken/fish/vege tacos, rich and real salads, stuffed mushrooms, whatever) that taste awesome down to a fine, 15 minute art and I make double so I also have lunch. Meat + jar + pasta/rice can easily be mushroom or whatever and simple home made sauce, rather than a bottle of overpriced garbage sauce. You even said it yourself, caring for kids is hard so they can't be hosed doing a 10 second task to prep a meal. If I can regularly leave home at 7:30am, then get home from my day at 9pm and have something decent ready to eat by 9:20, there is no reason anyone can't do it outside of "can't be hosed" which is unacceptable (I still can't be hosed sometimes) and "don't know how" which is a macro problem and the one that should be addressed.

Unrelated to thread, but I'm trying to start a vintage computer museum, like, the kind that will be open to the public and will bore the pants out of schoolchildren on field trips. Anyone interested in donating hardware should please contact me via FB or PM. You get a plaque in your honour next to the exhibit of whatever you donate. Anyone interested in donating cash or expertise please wait until I've got the NGO registered, which will probably take me about four years.

It certainly isn't NSW, we're basically completely dead in the water now. I don't even know what's going on with the infighting, apparently everyone just gave up and left or just gave up period? I do know that there was a (failed) attempt to deselect Jordon Steele-John in WA in favour of a literal party hack, though. Thankfully he got back in by ~10%.
