@greg_ashman Made me smile, anyway.

@ktibus @greg_ashman Because they know ON supporters personally, they know the supporters are reasonable people with reasonable and valid concerns about the country and Lib/Lab governments, so they move away from the "establishment" doing the smearing. Didn't Brexit/Trump/Le Pen teach you anything?

@ktibus @greg_ashman Read it again

@RevivedThoughts No. But what about a train station where you change international trains and step outside for ten minutes before going back in? This affects my country count.

@boriquagato @MichaelAArouet Unlike the baby boom years, women generally do not see themselves as mothers, wives and homemakers first. The mindset has changed, and it's not high house prices that has caused it. Japan already has shrinking population, low housing costs and no upturn in babies being born.

@boriquagato @MichaelAArouet Economics is not the only, and perhaps not even the major, cause of the the fertility crash.

[RDK @rdkrdk]

@boriquagato @MichaelAArouet Were it reverting to the age distribution as well as the absolute population as in the past you would have a point.

@JamesLucasIT And with 4000 holes.

@greg_ashman All things teachers need to do better/differently. Nothing about the students themselves, parents etc etc

There’s some quirk in physics where, if there’s a small hole in a bag of mulch it will leak all over your vehicle.
But if you rip a giant hole in the bag and try to dump it out into your landscaping, almost none will fall out.

I would describe this sort of willful mass delusion as an example of the latent anti-semitism that has existed in the west for centuries, and today being "anti-Israel" is a way of expressing it while maintaining the self-belief that one is on the side of good.

[David Collier @mishtal]

Last week I was sent an image of a pro-Palestine stall at Cambridge Market Square.

Not angry students. Not masked radicals. Rather elderly white women encouraging strangers to boycott Israel.

So yesterday I went to Cambridge to hear what they were selling.

@greg_ashman Well this has got engagement. Reading the comments:

1) is the shortage real?
2) pay is too low while benefits are too high
3) no on the job training available, & easier to employ foreign-trained staff.

I would question the standard and even existance of foreign qualifications.

@bagshaw2112 @grahamandre This is a chart that is widely different to whatever was charting in Australia at the time. Many of these artists I've never heard of, let alone songs. But surely Truly Madly Deeply puts it around 1998.

@Bedeapk Winter D for skiing in Austr ii a, Switzerland and Italy, summer anywhere without crowds.

@RoadknightThe @Auspatriot33 I agree with the others - all this should be rolled up into the rent. I'm don't think landlords can even charge rent + extras.

Are you a parent trying to do the best by your kids? Have you saved up and foregone luxuries saving for the future of your family? If so, the government hates you, but loves your money.

[Clare O'Neil MP @ClareONeilMP]

Australia should be a country where hard work, not what you inherit, gets you ahead in life.

[RDK @rdkrdk]

@Docstevens007 @Ryandally08 Yes, I say we wholeheartedly join the 2030 version of the Greater East and Southeast Asian Co-prosperity Sphere, based on the coming 11 dash line that extends just south of of Hobart.

[Dr. Maalouf ‏ @realMaalouf]

“A man can marry a girl younger than 9 years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however, is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than 9. Other sexual acts such as foreplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy are allowed. When the girl turns 9, intercourse is allowed.”

-Ayatollah Khomeini
(founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran).

I’ll never wrap my head around the fact that this is what Western leftists decided to side with. Disgusting and evil.

@Amazingjason2 @TolentinoTeach I'd convert every fifth or sixth school to a separate school, and they can all be sent there to deal with each other all day. Pay teachers double to work there.
