I do not agree with the 60% statement, how was it arrived at ??
Do we want to become a Republic ??
Which Republican Model do we use ??
What will the make up of the Parliament be ??
What will be the Term of Office for each Parliamentarian ??
How will the Head of State be selected ??
what will the Term of Office for the Head of State. ??
ALL the above would have to be answered, and agreed upon, before any change can be implemented.

Do you think car companies should be more upfront about how your data is used. Should there be laws around it?

Most definitely, where I go and how I drive is MY business, NOT Theirs.
If I want to share any of those details with them, then it should be totally up to me to give it to them.

The Age Pension is NOT sufficient for a Pensioner to Live ON, it NEEDS to be significantly increased to make it Livable, also, every Pensioner should receive the same amount.
The cut off amounts and the cut off rate should either be raised considerably, or removed completely (as in a Universal Age Pension).

Yes, they are usually the Self Entitled ones who always have to be the First onto the Tourist Bus, the First off that Bus, the First to enter the Tourist Destination etc etc etc, and will not take NO for an answer !!!!

Of course the Lenders should have a responsibility to make sure that their product is suitable for the Customer.
Otherwise, they could end up with a Financially Incompetent Customer owing (say) $5,000 on a product with that Customer not being able to pay it. Customer then Declares Bankruptcy (with other debts as well), and it ends up with that Customer Paying, Court Ordered, (say) $5.00 per week on the Product Total. (which will take approximately 19 Years and 3 months to pay off {without Interest}).

Not Everyone is Financially Savvy

Tax Loopholes that allow Companies to Offshore Major Parts of their Profits to Minimize the amount of Tax that they Pay in Australia should be tightened if not Closed.

My attempted post was lost in the ether !!!

Where on the Scoville Scale are these dishes ???
Have they also banned the Chillis that are Equal or higher on the Scoville Scale ???
The Scoville Scale is used to measure the amount of Capsaicin within the product, originally developed for Chillis.

Brad, I was one of the Thousands of Senior Systems Administrators nd Programmers who spent upwards of 2 years diagnosing Programs, Software, Operating Systems etc in the lead up to Y2K. At the time the Norm was to use 2 Digit Dates, with the leading “19” implied, which meant that on the stroke of Midnight December 31 1999, the System/Software would interpret the Date as 1900, which would cause major problems in the Finance Sector, also with System Backups, as any “NEW” Backup would be seen as being 100 years old.
Now with the turning off of the 3G network, there will be major problems in older devices that use 3G for things like OIT, Mobile Phones, Mobile Internet, with some Devices that the Owners do not even know that have the IOT capability, and may stop working because they can’t “phone home”.
I have just updated my CPAP Machine, and this one has 4G IOT connectivity, my previous one (several years old) had 3G IOT connectivity, if I still had that one, I would now have to take the Machine in to get the Sleep Data Downloaded.
So YES, in a wat we are heading for a Y2K type Major Event.

My social media accounts are ME, but if they require 100 points of Identification to continue, then my accounts will be closed.
It’s not because I have anything to hide, but I am very reticent to had over that amount of Personal Information to them, when they cannot even stop Account Cloning and Hacking.

It’s about time, and there should be more of them Australia wide.
I know of two Males who were the victims of DV, both where Hospitalized, one with a Broken Nose and both with Severe Facial Bruising and Bruising to other parts of their bodies.
Both instances reported to the” Police from the ED.
Both Interviewed by the Police.
Both told to “Grow a Pair” and your supposed to be a man”. The reports where then filed and NO Action taken.
If it had been the other way round, They would have been arrested and charged with assault.
One ended in Divorce, and the Judge believed her, “acting in self-defence” and he does NOT have access to his son.
He is now happily re-married with a beautiful wife and family.

The other, a Family Member.
They where living in the rental property which was in his name, she refused to leave, therefore, in cooperation with the landlord/owner, he terminated the lease, and moved out, with the express condition that she could NOT take over the lease.
The Owner did some Maintenance/Upgrades on the Property and he moved back in six months later.

Exactly where I am living right now.
The best place in the world.
Adelaide, South Australia.

In the past I have both changes a wheel and changed a tyre.
The latter, remove the wheel from the vehicle, remove the tyre from the rim and put a new tyre on the rim, blow it up and replace the wheel on the car.
I therefore make the distinction between the two.
I actually do not have to do that anymore as my vehicle has “runflat” tyres !!!

Billionsaires probably do not require the Domestic Power Rebate, but how do you exclude them ??
The only way is for the Tax Office to share Income levels with the Power Retailers, and then how many Australians would be happy with that arrangement, telling the Power Retailers exactly how much your taxable income is, or your total wealth ??
I know that I would not be happy with that !!!
Therefore, the only way to apply the Power Rebate is to apply it to every Domestic Power Account.

So they are banning a “Parenting Book”, IE: a book targeted at those who are contemplating becoming a Parent, and therefore would not be available for children to book out.

What does going Cashless Mean ???
Will it mean the end of the Chook/Meat Raffle in the Local Bowls, Crochet, Tennis, Soccer, Rugby Club, also what about those Lucky Number Squares where the Prize is (say) $10, how is that going to be paid ???
Also what will happen to the Local School Tuck-Shop, will the Students then have to carry some form or pre-paid debit card ???
It will inconvenience a large number of Senior Citizens who only use Cash, like a friend of mine who still uses her Bank Book (School Bank Book opened 60+ years ago). Her Pension is deposited evert fortnight and then she makes a withdrawal from the Bank of the Cash she needs, she Pays all her Major Bills using Phone Banking on her Dumb Phone. She does not have the Internet, an email address and is not Technology Savvy, and doesn’t want to be.

It is absolutely amazing just how much personal data that TikTok gathers. Profile information, sex, age, interests, email address, etc. This is all stored on their servers in China. The Chinese Communist Party, AKA the Chinese Government can “request” information and/or data from ByteDance (TikTok’s owners) at any time and for any reason, and they have to comply. It is exactly the same with any Chinese Company no matter what they supply.
That is why Huawei has been banned from any/all Government Contracts to supply Network Equipment etc.

Why don’t you put the affected state in the title, then only NSW readers would read the article. It does not apply to me in South Australia, and therefore have no need to read it.
As a matter of fact I only read the first line.

[Gordon Nussey]

It should have been done decades ago, when the rest of the world started doing it.
