It really sounds like it, i can’t see it being very easy to get any data on real changes in behaviour from the trial, and its indicated that there was simply a positive response from the public.

Mine are either the abalone food packaging, or the small satellite space thruster design.

The Noongar language/culture game is cool, but i’ve heard about that one before, so i’s not surprised and interested as much by that one.

The most interesting thing i found about the article was the fact that the “pinnacles” as an attraction will slowly move location as some get buried and others get uncovered.

We got the banquet, so tried quite a few things. I enjoyed it all. My one problem was how fast it started coming out, they could’ve taken it a little slower.

My partner was saying they’ve recently updated their menu. So maybe they had a few problem dishes before.

Hmm, I identify with this bumper sticker a little more than i’d like to.

“It’s not an industry problem, it’s a particular business problem,” Mr Egan said, describing the business’ structure and scale as a “value-destruction exercise”.

This little statement is so under-explained, and yet its probably the most important statement in the article.

Instead of wasting a bunch of lines at the end by tacking on that human interest story trash, the writer/editor should have spent those words explaining the problem with the business structure.

Ha! Yep, Spam and bin folders must get a real workout in that reception.

Its a pretty long standing policy now, hard to have assurance of continuity of business for sure.

Its been a long time coming. The sentiment of the rest of Australia has only grown in this direction as the terrible animal treatment in other countries and the arguments for deepening of our own economic value adding processes have strengthened.

Farmers had over a decade since the last serious push for them to set up a different business model themselves and they haven’t as an industry done it.

Its time government stepped in to provide the new direction for the industry and finally take heed of the wider Australian moral sentiment about the treatment of our animals in these circumstances.

That looks really awesome! I’s hoping you’d not stopped posting, or given up on the project when you hadn’t posted in a while. What a fantastic curved ceiling!

Haha, I love it especially because it looks like they’ve updated their signage over time, but kept the line. It makes me imagine the owner is excessively humoured by their own tagline, and maybe they’ve become known about town as that “show us your crack place”.

I know its not to everyones taste but the Ellington has live music during the week.

Probably a good sort of music you’d want to unwind to at the end of a day as well. I don’t know about always, but the events are often ticketed.

I also just tried the greek restaurant across the square from the Ellington, its called Brika, and damn its good.

So those two paired might be a nice evening. Or either separately would be good to

Wow! Thats a pretty awesome one. Thats probably the one @nath is talking about.

Maybe. The potential for an invitation to go across to be seen as a craven political point scoring exercise over an issue as catastrophic as this could damage perceptions of the party’s sincerity in their actions.

For instance,

The Greens purport to want higher Palestinian autonomy, ending with Statehood, but they don’t have the numbers themselves to affect Australia’s policy. Ergo, they need to negotiate with other parties to push towards their desired outcome, their best partner in this is currently Labor; so should they royally piss off their best partner in this matter by poaching a few members of Labor who are most in line with the Greens on this one issue.

Also,

Senator Payman is also pushing in the same direction as the Greens on this matter, but inside the Labor tent, that also has some value.

Better summary there than most media outlets.

I can’t think which one you mean near yhe CBD. I suppose the hyde park one is good, and of course kings park, but can’t think of any closer than those.

I didn’t read it that way. Sounds like for whatever reason the RMIT partnership is ending but ABC is going to carry on with it on their own.

This is probably a bad development. RMIT gave the work an extra sense of rigour and independence. It meant liberals and nationals, and conservatives in general couldn’t dismiss their work as just more ABC lefty commie wokeratti greenie stuff, as so many of those people reflexively do now.

The ABC should immediately start looking for a new partner of similar calibre in this ongoing endeavour.

But what is America without US? /s

I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.

Spirit world is where its at.
