I don't know much about international economics and the ABC article on this subject is annoying horseshit - what are the consequences for the US of Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminium?

why is nobody mentioning the true nsw crisis of the moment, which is that according to my sources the city of newcastle is completely out of weed

Then what the hell is my nephew smoking?

He reckons he's got a huge plant out the back. Might have a wander later and see if he's making that up or not.

Now, I know we've all moved on from this but I just wanted to say I'm pretty sure someone with the resources of News Corp at their disposal can get a photo taken where the light isn't reflecting off their glasses. I point out this insignificant detail because looking at the rest of the photo paralyzes me with overwhelming horror like I'm staring into the eye of Cthulu.

Just posting from the past to say that it's ironic that Daisy is mad rapping this brand, as this brand regularly exploits the models they use, and basically is straight up racist.

Do you have a link for this? I'm trying to get my wife to stop buying d'amour ("I only buy their shoes!").

Sorry busy day but my friend was a model for them for a while and they ended up flat-out not paying her while still using her image and then the owners of the brand came out with this huge persecution complex about people being out to get them.

In this Facebook thread a bunch of other people chimed in that this has happened to them aswell so I guess it’s not s public news thing yet?? This was probably about a year ago though now

I told my wife this and she's vowed not to shop with them any more. I was worried that she was turning a bit too bourgie and would have to be executed come the revolution, but this has really turned her around. My heartfelt thanks.

quote:

Ms Harrison was also injured in the accident as she tried to drag her daughter out of a pool of electrified water.

She was watering her garden on Saturday night when the power to the house went out, and when she went to the meter box to turn the power back on, she received a small electric shock.

Ms Harrison said she contacted the Department of Housing's emergency line to notify them of the fault, but was not given a warning not to touch anything.

Her daughter then went to turn off the garden hose and was instantly gripped by a massive electrical current.

The electric shock has been blamed on a malfunction in the property's electricity supply, known as an "open circuit neutral".

It hit Denishar with a surge of up to 250 volts of electricity, which is five times the amount that can cause serious damage to the human body.

A Perth barrister has said the Woods family could be eligible for millions of dollars in compensation if the Department of Housing is found to have failed to provide them with safe and adequate housing.

Ms Harrison revealed earlier this week the Department of Housing had offered her family up to one month's free rent, which would enable them to save $800 to put towards a car.

Well if she dies in a faulty DoH house, at least you'll get a free month's rent.

In the interests of balance, we, the media, completely cave to the right on any issue that doesn't have at least 67% public support to the contrary. We don't want to appear biased.
