18 weeks at minimum wage is inadequate. 26 weeks at replacement wage is a good start. I think paternal leave “use it or lose it” is missing from the equation as well. It’s much better to have 2 parents caring for a newborn in the first few months than 1.

If the government are trying to encourage people to have children the massive elephant in the room is the cost of housing though.

Good to hear!

Microwave Watt?? Converts cooking instructions to whatever your actual microwave is (mine’s a shitty 700w beast so I have to add about 50% cooking time to most things). http://www.microwavewatt.com/

For sure, good luck!

The kindle fee is 13.99 aud/month for me which is pricy by my standards. The library however is totally free but it doesn’t have every book I want. So it’s either wait for a physical copy at the library, just buy it outright, or take it off the reading list.

I tried KU for a month or two but I couldn’t find enough good books to read to justify the cost. Instead I just got a digital library subscription and read on my phone/tablet.

Personally I don’t think the consequences are hard enough (don’t publish further, might have to require a correction, might have to pay a fine).

Absolutely agree campaign financing also needs to be looked at though.

Might be time to introduce that “no lying on election material” piece that we’ve been missing.

I’m here for it 🔱🔱🔱

Omg thank you!

I’m sorry I couldn’t get through that awful scrolling design pattern. Just give me a damn slideshow or something.

Yeah I noticed that everyone has jumped on the “Australia is racist” bandwagon. I think there is that element but I’m optimistic that the referendum failed for other reasons and we can all move on.
