Do recruitment agents get commissions when they successfully find an employee for an employer? I'm just wondering whether they have an actual stake in this that might explain why they suddenly became such assholes.

Was his success based on increased voter turnout? I think it might have been! Did he win? No. What about this take is so outlandish? The author is also a former member of federal parliament, so maybe he is somehow qualified to provide said takes on politics and campaigning?

his take is "labor lost because they did not win the most seats" which is just as correct as "the romans lost the battle of herraclea because they lost the most men". the conservatives threw away their majority on an election they didn't need and are now hanging on to power by a thread; labour made major gains among key demographics and corbyn has proven himself as a capable leader. saying "labour lost" isn't wrong, but it's completely meaningless as political analysis.

i am in no way saying that the situation is analogous to australian politics because as you very cleverly pointed out, we have different voting systems!!!! way to go.

in fact, perhaps the difference in voting systems is reason not to automatically trust a former australian politician's take!!

The Romans lost that battle and Labour lost the election by virtue of not winning the election. Correct.

Agreed, Mia Freedman is exactly the person Beautiful Daisy™ wishes she could be. She publishes opinion in the public space for money, she deserves neither defence nor outrage. Either laugh or ignore her, anything else plays into that dumb celebrity self-image. I don't care who she is, I sometimes care about the topics but I don't for one loving second think she's any more qualified to advance her opinions just because she has a website or got on to The Drum. She ain't no public intellectual, guys.

And people are bad on the internet, quelle loving surprise. I've watched her endless self-promotion and clashes with women on Twitter and that is not an engagement any man would feel welcome to join, let alone argue. Ita Buttrose might seem a fuddy duddy but she never stooped to this kind of bullshit, and was an actual pioneer for professional women and is still fighting the good fight.

She made a living off teen girls / young women's insecurities, then gets fired by cosmo or whoever and ends up pretending she's some mums and bubs feminist hero.

The Bakery is gone. However if you meant the Queen's in Highgate (which isn't a gay bar but is openly LGBTIQ friendly) then there are tonnes of places as good as that, if not better scattered around Perth now.

Ironically though, none of them were mentioned in the above post about MDMA.

The Queen's is poo poo as I recall. I think the court might have been the one I would frequent (they did good raves in the carpark).
