I thought it was great until I realised they were going to replay it, like the last duel. A movie that clocks in at about an hour? Fits my attention span and lets an old guy get to bed early. Winner!

Happy birthday, Brett! I really appreciate all you do here - your bird photos are a welcome respite amidst the daily horrors. I hope the next twelve months go really well for you.

Ah well, that makes sense. It did seem rather extreme, even for the time. Will check the snopes archival material next time before posting.

Do they sponsor any other community sporting groups, from people who can't regulate their industries? Haven't seen them at my workplace. I'm sure it's legit though.

Absolutely. If you want to have some social sport after work, get everyone to put money in a kitty and pay for it yourself like everyone else does. Beggars belief that the charity from a lobbyist doesn't engender any goodwill.

This is great. My son has worked in aged care and my mum was a resident in one and a pay rise was well deserved. It's an extremely important job but also physically and emotionally demanding and sometimes dangerous.

Are you sure? This graph shows the growth rate, which was still positive (barely) during the pandemic. That would imply a plateau rather than a drop. Am I missing something here?

Well, I thought I was pretty diplomatic, giving each side the opportunity to claim credit, regardless of the actual merit. Not wanting to split team D.
