As he should, like all the critics are saying, how they hell is this not being means tested!
Very much reeks of vote buying. “Hey Australia, look at all this free money we are passing on to you.”
I mean, thanks I guess, but I am already getting a massive benefit from the stage 3 tax cuts. Why not take that $3.5 BILLION and invest it in something that will keep energy prices down for ever, rather than band-aid over it for 12 months. By all means, give the rebate to low income earners and those in real need of it, but people who are not struggling in the slightest should not be getting the rebate.
I guess the government have to play to the lowest common denominator in the voting base. Not all Australians understand that this money isn’t actually free and it will cost us in the long run (every subsequent budget for the next decade is predicted to be in deficit rather than surplus).
Queenslanders are also getting a $1000 rebate from the state government. So in total, $1300 off our energy bills in the next financial year.
Kind of shocked the federal government are giving $300 to every household.

You can also buy the music directly, if you don’t want the subscription, and then self-host it on Plex or Jellyfin, etc.
“Everything is affordable if we choose to care about it”.
That’s a fantastic quote right there.
It would be nice if “smart” home devices fell under this category. If the devices software is the reason that the device fails to continue to work, then they should be held responsible, and made to remedy a fix…or full refund.
Oh yes, make sure to verify via the email sent.
That Redback section got me good. Was browsing this article on my phone. Didn’t mind the spiders crawling on the screen, until the one in the bottom right looked like it crawled out from under my hand. Nearly threw my phone away 😮💨
Yes, from my understanding EVs have way less maintenance than ICEs, so would be better considering the lack of travel.
Interesting, does that lead to a significant less uptake to personal vehicles all up for inner suburbs then?
Makes sense, if you live in an apartment, where do you charge your car?
The optimist in me reckons everytime the AFP interacted with them was for the return of the missing soccer ball.
Scenario 1: “Hey mate, can you come down to the sati-” call ends “Crap, how are we gonna return the ball now?” 😮
Scenario 2: “Hey mate, we got you off the plane for-” “Sorry, can’t talk without our lawyer.” walks away “B-but, we just wanted to return your ball…” 😥
Yes, scary stuff. Americans running around rent free here, I reckon they could get away with that BS and we would be none the wiser.
Yes. I have seen a lot of grass hoppers, crickets and praying mantises in my garden in the last couple months. And they are not small, very big buggers.
Also heaps of ants, but I think that’s normal.
I vaguely remember watching and liking the first couple of seasons of Underbelly.
Looking at IMDB, there were 6 seasons all up, so I missed the last 3 to 4 seasons of the show.
School uniform for me back in the day was a white shirt, grey pants, and leather shoes. The only “school” part of the uniform was a tie and blazer with the school crest on it. And I even went through all of high school never purchasing said blazer.
This was in NZ nearly 15 years ago.
My point being, uniforms shouldn’t be breaking the bank. If schools would simplify the uniform as to not be that unique to the school, they might be able to drive down cost as more readily available clothing could be used to make up the uniform.
“Mum” and “Mom”, I think you are onto something.
