To think that the reason we have preferential voting is because it benefitted the conservative parties of the day...
At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.
This makes it sound like the result arrived extraordinarily quickly (which, in fairness, it was a very fast call) but elections here are decided entirely in the eastern states. It was obvious that the swing was on and Labor were clear favourites to win before polls in WA even closed.
By far the best news of the night though was that Temu Trump (Peter Dutton) lost his own seat just like Pierre Polievre in Canada several days ago. That makes him the first opposition leader to lose their own seat at a federal election.
I've been asking myself the same question lately. If Maccas is nearly the same price as an actually good burger, why not just get the good burger?
We used to have a "baby bonus" payment about 20 years ago in Australia. It made very little difference to birth rates and was derisively called the "plasma TV bonus". Turns out that even 20 years ago a small lump sum of cash wasn't enough to persuade people to sign up for a lifetime of expenses and responsibilities by having more kids. It was just a handout to middle class families that could already afford to have kids, which is why it was scrapped.

Australia mined over 1000x more of it than the US did last year
Don't give them ideas
Australia made them offer refunds thanks to our consumer law.
It also says "must not be the same as any of the last seven passwords used" so I can only take "no repeats" to mean no repeated characters.
Requiring passwords to be exactly 8 characters is especially ridiculous because even if they're cheaping out on bytes of storage, that's completely cancelled out by the fact that they're storing the last seven passwords used.
