My dad recalls my stepmum asking about "the weird smell" in the delivery room during her C section as they were cauterizing her wound.

He kept silent but in his head was like "yeah that is the smell of you cooking..."

The government will give you a tax deduction for donating towards:
* Feeding the poor
* Assisting those facing DV and homelessness
* Life saving medical research & patient support
* A NEW OLYMPIC POOL AT YOUR KIDS PRIVATE SCHOOL
* Saving the environment

Is something out of place here?

Fun fact Aussies currently need a VISA to travel to the UK but not China :)

If they agree with the government on every bill, what would be the point of being two parties?

Can almost guarantee the $2m won't be a hard stop for the Greens, it will simply be used for some horse trading to get a win elsewhere. Welcome to politics.

During a quiet moment on pre-poll, I quizzed the Labor staffers on who they were trying to re-elect in the Senate. None of them knew.

This was in NSW fwiw

Can't imagine why media would focus on a major political party that has been around for 80 years (and governed the country a lot during that time) as it now begins to fracture and consume itself in a very public manner...

It's hilarious because RBA literally released a research paper last year, highlighting that consumer & central banks have differing views on inflation & wage rises and that central banks need to consider this when making policy decisions.

What typically qualifies for grounds for a discretionary recount?

I remember you chatting about this one on the Baby Giants Podcast way back when, how good it finally paid off.

Nothing better than when the micro-cap finally gets noticed and goes on a big run

Something good happens: This happened in spite of government

Something bad happens: 100% governments fault
