At 8.24pm, less than half an hour after the final polls closed in Western Australia, 9News projected Labor had won the election.
This makes it sound like the result arrived extraordinarily quickly (which, in fairness, it was a very fast call) but elections here are decided entirely in the eastern states. It was obvious that the swing was on and Labor were clear favourites to win before polls in WA even closed.
By far the best news of the night though was that Temu Trump (Peter Dutton) lost his own seat just like Pierre Polievre in Canada several days ago. That makes him the first opposition leader to lose their own seat at a federal election.
I’ve been asking myself the same question lately. If Maccas is nearly the same price as an actually good burger, why not just get the good burger?
How many playing card packs have you been opening? Generally you want to optimise your deck by cutting it down but I have had a good run with a big deck build with the right jokers to make it work.
He’s already facing death, so what’s the difference?
but are they the real villains?
Yes.
This was a defamation case, i.e. a civil case. Ten’s defence was that their imputation that Lehrmann raped Higgins was substantially true, so the judge had to rule on whether or not the rape happened. It is not a criminal conviction and there won’t be one in this case because the criminal trial was abandoned due to juror misconduct.
The chamber of commerce and other employer groups never want minimum or award wages to rise by more than inflation.
I recall more than one year (every year?) where they asked for minimum wage increases that were less than inflation. They don’t just want wages to stagnate, they want wages to decrease.
It also says “must not be the same as any of the last seven passwords used” so I can only take “no repeats” to mean no repeated characters.
Requiring passwords to be exactly 8 characters is especially ridiculous because even if they’re cheaping out on bytes of storage, that’s completely cancelled out by the fact that they’re storing the last seven passwords used.
