Has a real feel of importing US politics here.

Wait, so my phone was brought through Telstra. It’s on boost so I assume no worries there. But my wife’s phone was brought from jb. Are you telling me an iPhone 14 Pro brought from an Australian retailer 12 months ago might no longer work on Telstra?!?!

Even IF the CFMEU is fucked, this is massive overreach, imo. Even if we take the claims at total face value, do they want criminals to not have jobs that pay the bills? Because that’s how you get crime. No one is getting into cooking meth for the funsies.

So what are we supposed to do here? Let the union clean itself up? We've been making that joke a very long time.

So you’re not an Aussie? Cool ok so you’ve got no idea what this country is like. That makes sense.

I dont think you "get" it. I'm saying people are going to be cut off. 5g simply doesnt reach as far, its coverage range is greatly reduced compared to 3g or even 4g. And there is no solution for that. the telcos sure as shit arnt gonna go out there and build a bunch more towers for no one except a koala or 2 to regularly use. We're cutting the service to a not 0% of the population.

This might be fine in Europe, But not a large country like us.

Better allocation of spectrum is not just for social media. That’s like saying nbn was not needed as what we had before was fast enough for email.

Kind of disagree. NBN didnt cost network to deploy. Well, kind of but kind of not. What does faster netflix mean to someone in a fringe 3g area when we upgrade their 5GN that they cant get anyway?

This thing should be shelved indefinitely. We're taking a massive chunk of the coverage area and scrapping it with 0 intention of applying a better solution here, all so people can get their twitter and email faster.

So what are lawmakers doing about social media algorithms? Age restrictions?

 

Maybe, just maybe it shouldn't cost close to 10k to even TRY to have a kid through IVF? More like 15k out of pocket costs till the Medicare rebate anyway.

1 in 6 aussie couples will struggle with infertility whilst 1 in 20 kids is born of IVF. https://monashivf.com/one-in-six/

1 in 6 couples. 1 in 20 babies. You can see a fair gap here. Unless your comfortably "middle class", you screwed. yes there are some public clinics with no gap, but the wait times are staggering. If we're worried about falling birth rates FULLY funding IVF and fertility treatments through Medicare is a no brainer.

 

Once again, someone who gave clear warning signs they were a risk was released into the community and the community has paid the price. When someone tells you who they are, you listen. Unless you're a judge apparently? Why do personal freedoms seem to trump the risk to the greater public?

 

Lamarre-Condon allegedly killed Davies and Baird with a police gun.

"If officers seek to have approval to store firearms at their home, there are a number of steps to that approval, including that the safe in which the firearm is stored has been independently approved." Asked if she knew whether the accused had an approved gun safe at his home, the Commissioner answered: "I'm actually not aware." She would not confirm whether normal rules had been followed in this case.

Oh you have GOT to be fucking kidding me.

 

As if we’re gonna forget they are still just the second most powerful army in Ukraine.
