But at the end of the day your example (education failure rate) is still much lower than, say, Rotax engines. Quite a few technical graduates are highly literate in their primary languge, mathematics, the language they use all day in their jobs. Business and education could give greater concideration to providing PAs to technical professionals who can spend a bit of time fixing up the lousy spelling of professionals when they communicate with the technical illiterates among business, politics and the general public.

Someone had to pay for the tickets. If Queenslanders had got moral the medical system would have collapsed.

Nothing free in life. The houses upon which the panels and batteries are to be placed will pay for their power to offset the capital investment and operating costs incurred by private investors ($800mill) but the upside for SA is a distributed power system which is more resilient than centralised power from a single source such as coal fired or imported from NSW/Vic. It also appears that the final bill to the householder/generator will be a saving of 30% on their bill.

Maybe Jolliffe had seen too many empty gestures from white people before and thought that nothing would really change. He knew ahead of time about the perfidious LNP and their manipulation of the laws.

They look like German tourists. Jobs? - the proud and noble aboriginal was tossed off their lands and only permitted back if they worked for slave wages (if they were lucky).

Broad is hunting down gays - they are everywhere, in the cupboards, hiding in the cornflakes packs, sitting in the front row of churches, even among pilots - Andrew, it is time to get back to your day job!!

Traditional spectator sports are very wasteful of resources. The money about to be poured into stadiums in NSW is outrageous and represents a transfer of vast amounts of money from the taxpayer to narrow financial interests from whom the taxpayers can expect little return. On the other hand eSports are very efficient with the bulk of costs falling to the participants rather than innocent bystanders. Sport needs to be moved off the ABC to, say, 2GB, where the listeners know no pain, and the bills are paid by advertising.

Who should get more money? The head of BHP, the PM, Pauline or the head of a charity? Should Alan Jones and the rest of the entertainment industry suck the country dry?

You might have better luck over on RecFlying.

Or you could work in illegal sweat shops with zero safety at slave labour pay in Australia, working for a BMW driving Young Liberal hounding you back to work with threats of dobbing the workers into social security or immigration or both.

Catholic Archbishop Blames Disobedient Wives For Domestic Violence
-
And in the olden days it was known that the male would take the female out and belt her til she told "the truth" or for the sergeant told her to go back to the offender as a domestic causes too much paperwork. Yes, there are women who prey on men but the domestic violence and assault visited on women is much more prevalent and unreported.

Recent events in OZ have the politicians and police lining up the media to be present during a raid of a very dubious nature. In other cases the politicians and police refuse to listen and it is only through the media does an action get investigated.

There are all sorts of bias in evidence. Your years as a cop should have shown you that. They used to call it verballing in the old days and very few women used to endulge.

There are quite a few power relationships you might examine and ask if the behaviours are fair and reasonable. The Telegraph invents news but most of the rest see some fire among the smoke. There have been enough convictions recently that would suggest that silence among the victims is self preservation and it is only with an active press and support for the victims is justice, mediocre as it tends to be, is acheived. I hope that justice for the innocents is acheived.

If you are ever in Denmark head for Egeskov Castle for a fine collection of bikes Motorcycle exhibition -
Well, that gives them pause from beating up on pensioners, the unemployed, refugees and unionists. There are some upsides in life

You are asked about the relationship with your emergency contact. It is up to you how you describe - husband, daughter, father, codependent, de-facto, lover, brother, wife etc

That would be normal but then and now some people think that women become invisible after marriage.

How about "this is Fred, one of the kids". For a long while some groups addressed my wife, Pam, as Mrs. Colin Jones. Her name wasn't Colin and I wasn't a lady. We were not amused!!

But she is part of the ALP Right Wing Scum best known for looking after the mates than looking after Australia.

I had a halal beef sausage in a roll at Bunning Greenacre. It tasted fantastic. I suppose if you buy halal you get what you pay for rather than some unidentifiable sludge.

If the politicians weren't gutless and did their jobs this whole issue would have been sorted out two years ago.

Leave Michaela Cash out of this!!!

you can vote below the line. the most recent reforms took most of the power of the parties controlling flows away in so much as above the line votes can only flow to the party list unless the voter adds more lists by numbering more than [1]. Due to preference farming by wacko groups the ticket grew to gigantic proportions which meant that chances of error crept in when voting below the line. in the vast majority of cases people voted a arty ticket so above the line voting was introduced to allow people to vote a ticket without errors creeping in. I vote below the line to put Fred Nile, Shooters, the National Party, anti-vaxers and other bottom feeders down the bottom, where they deserve to be.
