When Smartraveller has had enough of being tactful. This is the DFAT equivalent of, "Don't have sex, cos you will get pregnant and DIE!":

This is my local park, next to where I go swimming. Australia is a wealthy country. How is it we have people living in tents, not squatting - living, in a public park? There are at least 20 of them. This is vile. You know that your society has failed its most vulnerable when people live like this.

Interesting. The original post reads, "Since 2023, #AUB has raised concerns with THE about questionable practices among certain universities that artificially inflate their research productivity and subsequent rankings. Until these concerns are addressed, AUB has withdrawn from the THE rankings".

Humans. We always find the worst possible way to abuse an app instead of using it for its designated purpose. This is why I always stay in hotels. That and the first time I heard about AirBNB my first thought was, "So nobody makes the bed or cleans the bathroom the entire time you're there?"
