If Wario is Mario’s Wario, then who is Wario’s Wario? Is it Mario? Or a second, more evil Wario?

Thanks to the Job Ready Graduates scheme, an arts degree today will cost over $50,000. How have five decades of government policy taken us from free education to this?

ok I KNOW stoush is pronounced as 'stowsh', like ouch, but I ALWAYS read it as 'stoosh', with a short 'oo' sound (like bush – maybe more like 'stüsh'?).
I blame growing up in Melb's northern suburbs and having grandparents with thick Estonian accents!

Vale David Stratton, the wonderful film critic.

I have seen a few mentions of Stratton’s surveillance by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, which came to light about a decade ago.

His ASIO file has been digitised and can be viewed here: recordsearch.naa.gov.au/SearchNRetri...

I also got to see David yell “Shit for brains!” at a reckless driver once. That was something pretty special.
