Is there anything novel about that company? It just looks like a very small real estate fund? Wouldn't you be better off buying shares in an ETF that's listed somewhere and which you can sell easily?

I guess now we'll have to endure Turnbull trying to salvage his legacy with another republic referendum.

They already know who they're going to test. The waste water testing is just a way to dress it up as 'evidenced based policy'.

Would hardly be out of character. They already put everyone in Ceduna on income management, Mt Druitt can't be far behind. It's probably not that long until people are as contemptuous of people on welfare as they are of Indigenous people and they'll be able to get away with it without anyone caring.

Lid posted:Random tangent: if weed were made legal would there be support for plain packaging and making dispensaries as utilitarian as possible? It would be treated the same way cigarettes and alcohol are now, but probably with even more restrictions. The only advocacy for legalisation that gets taken seriously is based on arguments like 'think how much money we could make by taxing it' and 'it would be safer if it was regulated'.

You can still buy fancy ashtrays and lighters despite plain packaging, so I doubt that aspect of it would go away. That said, I think the proportion of weed smokers who are interested in that kind of thing is a lot lower than you might expect. Most people keep their mouth shut and try not to be an obvious stoner.

Sure it starts in small rural areas, but once Serco have shown that they can run the Birdsville police station successfully it would be unfair not to let them tender for the Sydney contract.

He failed year 12 English, luckily when he went through there were other pathways for year 12s who failed English. Removing those pathways is a loving awful idea. They're not taking away bridging courses or mature age entry are they?

He's set himself up as some sort of authority on welfare and puts out reports telling the government what they want to hear (basics cards are good etc.).

I wish they'd just get rid of university rankings altogether. It's obvious which unis are good and which aren't, and the difference between being 500th and 600th in the world is utterly irrelevant. open24hours fucked around with this message at 03:39 on May 29, 2017 |
