They're made from wine that is filtered and flavoured. So they get taxed as wine rather than alcopops. $8 for 1L of 10+% of weird flavoured poo poo.
Edit: yeah I guess just really cheap gross UDLs

It's astounding to me that it took this long for us to get wine coolers.

Also, sup OP. My mum was in Northam for a while but escaped.
Where do you work, Goldfields?

Wine coolers have been around in Australia for decades. West Coast coolers were one of the first to come on the market. Coolibah had one as well but I can't recall the name at the moment.

Do they ever hire people without an engineering degree or connections? All the job applications for things like truck drivers just say you need a license and tafe certificate, but I'm sceptical that it is that easy. Goddamn do I ever want to escape my current dead end career and impoverished Kwinana lifestyle.

I've never seen feta anywhere but most places have egg as an extra. In theory I would actually like egg on my kebab but for some reason the custom seems to be to barely cook it, just dumping in a load of runny egg liquid.

I've been with my company for 5 years so far and I have seen them do a lot of what they call trainee ships where they hire completely green people for a 6 month period and train them on the truck. I'm pretty sure they get paid a lot lower while during that period but if they show that they aren't a complete spud they usually get signed over after that. Even if they don't you have a truck ticket after that and a bit of experience, they can sign up with a recruitment agency and get a job no problem. I guess they do this for cheap labour and possibly rebates from the government couldn't say for sure though. An engineering degree would purely be for an engineer no one else needs or has that in my experience. A couple of years ago they signed us all up as students and we started doing a course called Cert 3 in Metalliferous Mining but even then I haven't heard of that being compulsory or anything.

I can give a bit of a rundown of the process of underground mining with some pictures from one of my old mines if anyone is interested. Not sure if that can go here or if there is a different topic for work related poo poo.

I actually had to go and re-read my posts as I didn't think i typed that anywhere haha. It's the type of word you might say with a bunch of mates but you never use it around women unless they use it first.

You don't like runny eggs? I'll fight you.

Also kebabs are just a poor man's souvlaki.
