God I hope Labor win the next Federal election just to see how stumped the News Corpse editors and journos will be, just like in the previous Victorian State Election. The Herald Sun still hasn't recovered from that election.

A crowdfunding campaign to "buy Duncan Storrar a toaster" has raised more than its $6,000 target after the Aussie battler became a social media sensation for his appearance on Q&A on Monday night.

There was an outpouring of support on social media with tweets including the hashtag #IstandwithDuncan and #DuncanforPM.

The Buy Duncan Storrar a Toaster crowdfunding campaign on GoFundMe was created by user Samuel Slammer Fawcett on Tuesday with a goal of $6,000.

"Hey — Duncan seems like a good bloke and every little bit of cash goes a long way," the campaign states.

"We reckon he deserves a bit of a helping hand so we've decided to buy him a new toaster.

"6 grand oughtta (sic) cover it. And if he has a little bit left over, maybe he can take his kids to the movies or something."

In the early hours of Wednesday, it had raised almost $8,000 with more than 360 donations made in eight hours.

Late on Tuesday night Mr Fawcett shared a campaign update: "Hey toaster lovers. Grab yourselves a piece of toast and watch this tick over 6K! By the time you read this we will probably have hit the goal."
Dunno, I never really like one of charities like this. We shouldn't need to do stunts like his, Duncan and other lower income people shouldn't be penalised or put down because "they don't pay enough tax". And sure as poo poo shouldn't have to need to explain their situation to clueless politicians who have no idea what people are going through.

Looks like 7 Eleven are being a pack of dodgy fucks. Sacking the independent review that was looking over the conditions and pay of their workers, just so they can find out the names of the workers (which was supposed to be confidential) who have spoken against the company and also minimise the pay out franchisees have to give their workers.

Fucks. Alan Fels is politely tearing the 7 Eleven management a new one on 730 at the moment

Not sure interlocks would really be all that effective though. What's to stop someone with tech skills from just bypassing the interlock once it's installed?
A co worker had one on his car and it is pretty tamper proof. Supposedly the unit goes nuts even if the car battery goes flat. You have to get the car towed to a mechanic who is registered to work on vehicles with the interlock to get it to re-active the car.

Used to work out what's going wrong with your car, usually from fault codes logged by the car's computer. You can get bluetooth adapters that plug into that port which you can do a read out on Android and Apple phones

Refugees are illiterate, but they would take your jobs anyway, and they would also be unemployed while taking your jobs.

I'm surprised Dutton is pulling that card so early into the election campaign. The Liberals must be really worried about the polls.

All I can hope for is an illiterate refugee takes his job

A second Victorian police officer who was caught on camera kicking a (handcuffed, partially naked) woman in custody defends her actions before an anti-corruption inquiry, saying she was trying to "get her attention".

Leading Senior Constable Nicole Munro conceded she kicked the 51-year-old woman, who was later discovered to be a fellow police officer with the force's professional standards unit, but said it was not malicious.

"It was a case of trying to get her attention," Leading Senior Constable Munro told the Independent Broad-Based Anti-Corruption Commission (IBAC).
