Mass consumption of "low fat" (high sugar) processed food like products?

Still yet to find anything that comes close to the search brilliance of the winamp media library.

I wonder if it would have been possible to have incorporated a slightly larger street circuit in to the future development at the racecourse on the other side of the freeway?

I imagine they might lose a few supporters under Faruqi or Hanson-Young.

I could be one of them. I've voted green in the lower house based on their policies the last 20 years. Last couple of elections I've held my nose as I did it. Most of their policies I still like. Some of their politicians not so much. I wish they would stop generating so many media sound bytes on social justice issues.

As a fan of wagons, yes it sucks that there are so few left to buy.

The European manufactures still sell wagons here. But $$$

There is also still the WRX wagon.

Vehicles with a front height that's above the average adults waist height should be given automatic zero stars for vulnerable road user protection rating.

Anything with a zero rating should be restricted from being driven while on probation. They should also attract a special extra registration fee.

The fact that at the moment some high fronted child crushers can get 5 stars is a damming indictment of ANCAP.

Liberal senator Alex Antic, however, echoed Rinehart’s argument.

“Presumably, the left wing of the party will find new and ­inventive ways to postulate that we must lean further left to succeed,” he said. “The truth is that the party has spent too long pandering to the false narratives of net zero, globalisation and mega immigration.”

What a daft cunt, the liberals under Howard massively increased immigration. He speaks if the libs donors from the real estate lobby and the business council would let them touch immigration!

And as for Gina opening her mouth in an anti immigrant direction... The same one who wanted to bring in migrants for her mine? SMH. https://www.actu.org.au/media-release/rinehart-plan-to-offshore-australian-jobs-shows-worlds-richest-woman-cares-only-for-profits/

The sky propaganda said this after the last election, the libs put Dutton as leader and did just that. Historic loss for them.

Again they are saying it now. I look forward to the libs following the advice more and getting reduced to a minor party.

I used to think that a majority labor govt should have fixing media concentration as a top priority.

I think they should still do it, but it's becoming less of an top priority issue these days.

Murdoch and Packer/Gina propaganda failed this time and last.

I think that the billionaires have learnt it's easy to negotiate in the background with labor to get their reforms through as far as cutting red and green tape goes.

Bolt is just salty because he built his whole fake media persona on culture war outrage. The worst thing that could happen to him is happening, that is him and the rest of the sky talking heads are losing audience share and fading in to irrelevance.

Over already. There goes my plans for the evening!

I only got liberal and labor spam. But it was a similar amount to your picture.

The liberal candidate kindly sent me two fake postal vote application forms complete with replied paid envelopes.

I stuffed as much of the election junk mail as I could in to the reply paid envelopes and mailed them back.

I used to work for a company that agreed with you, well at least some clown in management did. Even though it was an Australian company, at least part of the problem was we had an office in Manila, and they speak "American English" which seemed to include the awful date system too. We dealt with a lot of files being issued to clients / received from vendors etc. Because the "official" system used those fucked up dates, everyone ran their own secondary sets of data folders in / out with everything done in ISO dates so you could actually sort it properly.

 

Regional leaders say a decision by the Western Australian Electoral Commission (WAEC) to cut another bush seat from state parliament will make it harder to advocate for their communities. Key points:

WA Electoral Commission has released its proposed new state electoral boundaries
The regional seats of Moore and North West Central will be combined to create the new seat of Mid West 
The changes make way for the new seat of Oakford in suburban Perth
 

Australians are driving bigger, heavier, dirtier cars and it's alarming both climate and road safety experts.

A decade ago, sedans and hatchbacks were the most popular cars in Australia. Today, Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs) and American-style utes dominate new car sales and advertising.

 

Perth motorists will be able to use the new Mitchell Freeway extension to Alkimos from Monday.

The $232 million freeway extension was officially unveiled at a ceremony on Sunday and has extended the road by 5.6 kilometres north from Hester Avenue to Romeo Road, creating new freeway access points in Perth's growing northern suburbs.
