They should do it for the top half too. Just have set styles and colours so parents can buy whatever is affordable

Ugh. Both options suck.

I don’t want to be part of the mango madness and also recognise that we could be in a bad position to fight back

What the actual fuck is happening

So like universities and scientific organisations have to fall in line with whatever odd ideas this guy thinks up to go after, or they lose the funding for research?

I really don’t like this direction. This is an unreasonable amount of control and a dangerous precedence to set

The customers or the supermarkets?

Unfortunately delivery or transport probably ups costs… Which is why Aldi doesn’t deliver. Really sucks for someone who requires it

That’s messed up. Certifications should be inspected and enforced.

Any idea which brands are ok? I see Dilmah doing a lot

We ate them /j

In America there’s a few programs that donate hunted meat to the disadvantaged. Usually called Hunt for the Hungry or Hunters for the Hungry etc.

Seems Australia is thinking along those lines too https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2023/nov/12/deer-meat-for-homeless-shooters-fishers-and-farmers-party-mp-hunters-hungry

In Alaska there’s a lottery where you get permission to take a hit moose home for the freezer. I’m not kidding. It’s called the Roadkill Lottery and it’s government official.

And since one can feed a family for months people will be excited for you if you get that call, like to them it’s a stroke of luck and good news.

Seems weird and I’d worry about hygiene/storage/disease (there are concerns about humane killing and hygienic transport with roos) but in a place with such food shortages it would be a shame if some idiot just took the horns and left the rest to rot.

I really don’t care if they don’t stock it… I don’t buy any of that tat and don’t celebrate Australia Day beyond just appreciating a day off.

If they want to do more they could make food and basics more affordable but they won’t

But can my disabled arse get to them? Can someone with a car and a job afford to drive around for ages getting every little thing? Do they all have what you need?

Pull the other one Colesworth

Watch out with pet uber too, you can seriously get gouged.

There’s also the possibility that faced with such steep fines and limited ability to enforce it these platforms could just block access for all Australian users.

Pornhub blocked access to users in multiple US states rather than deal with the whole age verification that came in for that.

Guessing vpns are about to get popular regardless

It’s a mystery for sure. They won’t even tell us what does or doesn’t count to plan accordingly

If I had better earning potential I probably would have absconded to Europe

For real? Hyperbole? Or vpn joke

Last I saw the suggestions were drivers license or equivalent, face scan, or digital id. They’ve probably walked that back though or will do so because hell nah

The info is still really vague but seemed to so far apply to big platforms like reddit and facebook and X - however my info might be outdated by now.

Then again it could be that the fines for non compliance and verification charges might also apply to smaller platforms with less available funding than the big companies, and push them under.

The info I’ve been reading seems to be inconsistent and sometimes even conflict. And yeah, could be outdated by now

This comment right here. Not a fan of this bill at all and may potentially leave any platform that demands this information and/or ‘digital id’.
