Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Imagine not being able to just log onto MyGov, hit the link through to the ATO and then just do your own tax return. How is this a thing in 2025? 🤷♀️
Sam Corcos, who entered government with DOGE earlier this year, decided to kill DirectFile after one meeting with with tax software lobbyists.

Your average Subway 6-inch has an effective range of about 15 feet, making it best for CQC or a sidearm (side-sub?). For increased range and stopping power, you're going to want something baguette-based, like a Croque Monsieur.
It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

GOOD NEWS COMETH! “Whoops and hollers broke out, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander flags were unfurled and the Labor, Greens and crossbench MPs who voted for #treaty turned to applaud those who had dreamt of it for decades.” #VicPol #SpringSt #AusPol (LNP promise to undo it.)
The votes are counted and the quiet shattered as treaty arrives in Victoria
The first treaty with our First Peoples came after a long debate and even longer wait.

I'm out the other side of an insane week with 2 trials and 2 other court hearings. Spent the past 3 weeks generally not in bed before midnight. My cherry on the top was filing court docs at 3am. Hubs commented I was just working and sleeping.
