@HonTonyAbbott You. Failed. Australia.
Someone has to fix this, and clearly it wasn't you. Accept it.. work as a party to find someone. Australia needs help.
Today Labor and the Greens colluded to hijack Pauline Hanson’s matter of urgency. On the left is her original motion, on the right is what they changed it to. I’ve never seen this before. It’s insanity. It’s not democracy.
I was due to speak in support of Hanson’s motion, my opportunity was stolen.
For a moment I thought this to be a parody account.
With respect to law abiding minorities.. There are other Aussies with small businesses without support. We're not labeled, so not considered. (Or as the MSM and Government says Nazis?)
I run a local bottle shop, independent owned. I must accept day to day theft as VicPol are occupied with more urgent matters. I have junkies trying to follow me home, so I need to change routes daily.
Before this I had my own electrical contracting company.. and that's another story..
I'm all for limited immigration, I have a mixed race family. But we understand Australia. And what it means.
Since COVID I do not recognise a nation I was proud of.
@elonmusk Cost of living unfortunately plays a huge part. Our family would welcome a 2nd child, but we choose to give the best we can to the one we have.
@loyalmoses Yes, most of the time.
Non repeat prints I wait for 5 layers and then sleep.
Sometimes I'll irrationality wake up and check cameras. But 98% of the time it's all good.
@elonmusk X is about freedom of speech.
Could there be a way to correctly cite facts from fictional stories.
Mrs Jones from next door.. doesn't have anything correct to say from Mr Smith who saw everything but has a stutter.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AUSTRALIAN IF:
* You believe that stubbies can be either drunk or worn. * You're liable to burst out laughing whenever you hear of Americans "rooting" for something. * You pronounce Melbourne as 'Mel-bin'. * You believe the 'L' in the word 'Australia' is optional. * You can translate: 'Dazza and Shazza played Acca Dacca on the way to Maccas.' * You believe it makes perfect sense for a nation to decorate its highways with large fibreglass bananas, prawns and sheep. * You think 'Woolloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place. * You're secretly proud of our killer wildlife. * You believe it makes sense for a country to have a $1 coin that's twice as big as its $2 coin. * You understand that 'Wagga Wagga' can be abbreviated to 'Wagga' but 'Woy Woy' can't be called 'Woy'. * You believe that cooked-down axle grease makes a good breakfast spread. You've also squeezed it through Vita Wheats to make little Vegemite worms. * You believe all famous Kiwis are actually Australian, until they stuff up, at which point they again become Kiwis. * Beetroot with your Hamburger... Of course. * You know that certain words must, by law, be shouted out during any rendition of the Angels' song 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again' And "Living next door to Alice". * You believe that the confectionery known as the Wagon Wheel has become smaller with every passing year. * You believe that the more you shorten someone's name the more you like them. * Whatever your linguistic skills, you find yourself able to order takeaway fluently in every Asian language. * You understand that 'excuse me' can sound rude, While 'scuse me' is always polite. * You know what it's like to swallow a fly, on occasion via your nose. * You know it's not summer until the steering wheel is too hot to handle and a seat belt buckle becomes a pretty good branding iron. * Your biggest family argument over the summer concerned the rules for beach cricket. * You shake your head in horror when companies try to market what they call 'Anzac cookies'. * You still think of Kylie as 'that girl off Neighbours'. * When working in a bar, you understand male customers will feel the need to offer an excuse whenever they order low-alcohol beer. * You know how to abbreviate every word, all of which usually end in -o: arvo, combo, garbo, kero, metho, milko, muso, rego, servo, smoko, speedo, righto, goodo etc. * You know that there is a universal place called "woop woop" located in the middle of nowhere...no matter where you actually are. * You know that none of us actually drink Fosters beer, because it tastes like sh*t. But we let the world think we do. Because we can. * You have some time in your life slept with Aeroguard on in the summer. Maybe even as perfume. * You've only ever used the words - tops, ripper, sick, mad, rad, sweet - to mean good. And then you place 'bloody' in front of it when you REALLY mean it. * You know that the barbecue is a political arena; the person holding the tongs is always the boss and usually a man. And the women make the Salad. * You say 'no worries' quite often, whether you realise it or not. * You understand what no wucking furries means. * You've drank your tea/coffee/milo through a Tim Tam. * You own a Bond's chesty. In several different colours. * You know that roo meat tastes pretty good, But not as good as barra. Or a meat pie. * You know that some people pronounce Australia like "Straya" and that's ok. * You have a thong tan...not on your butt! *
@AlboMP Fiber should have been the way from day 1.
Both parties have made cost cuts and have a delusion idea.
As for regional consumers of course Starlink is the option.
Living in metropolitan Melbourne. I enjoy my 1gbos fibre.
@Skyislandia@cannon8tor@AlboMP I fully support what Starlink can do.. it's useful if you're in a rural area. But I get having under 5ms latency and 1gps.. fibre is superior.
