It annoys me that we, in Australia, get weirdos like this, and randos like the Hunting and Fishing party.

But we never get Screaming Lord Such's, or Lord Bucketheads.

if its anything like the Luna New Year display at my local coles, its because they cram anything thats vaguely asian looking into the display.

Luna new year? Just slap some red lanterns next to the pallet of rice and call it done.

Tbf a lot of Asian countries celebrate lunar/lunisolar new year at the same time (a small number celebrate on a different day) even though here in the west it's usually just referred to as Chinese New Year
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_New_Year

Yeah I understand that, it just seems a bit odd to wheel out the same bags of rice and pallets of Cup Noodles you have all year around and go 'Lunar Mew Year Products!'

Celebrate the new year with 5kg of basmati rice! Oh boy!

I've had it up to here with LNP shills complaining that Labor lied and they're going to get slightly less money then they were going to get, acting like Albo is personally picking their pocket. And I've asked a few of them what they'd even do with that money and their answer was 'put it on my investment property'.

Seriously. Labor just needs to go on the attack with this one, sitting back and being called liars is a stupid strategy. Call these people out for what they are, loving leeches.

I heard a sound bite on the radio the other day of the head of the Business Council saying that this marked the death of tax reform in Australia. But if Labor (or heaven forbid, The Greens) came out and called that statement the hyperbolic bullshit it is they would be crucified for being uncivil or whatever.

What would a fully connected cycle superhighway to the garbage city look like?

how much would it cost?

can we connect sydney and melbourne to the garbage city via high speed rail?

will the public transport in garbage city have christmaa decorations and water bottles in them, or will all of that be used to construct the garbage city?

can the army just build it?

A friend of mine had a pride flag pin on their uniform at Bunnings and constantly had customers flying off the handle at them, and Bunnings response was to tell them to not wear the pin.
