I just searched the app store for it.

Hmmmm. Not sure, opened it from Google News.

 

Successive governments have tried to convince Australians that private health is better than the public system. Australia doesn't agree.

Emperor's of Rome podcast addressed this in a Q&A episode.

From memory the answer is that top level generals would almost always speak Greek and Latin, mid level commanders would speak either Greek or Latin adequately as well as the local language of the troops they were commanding.

Respectfully, I am very confident you are misreading this situation. The thought patterns displayed in the original post are almost textbook typical of major depression and would be extremely atypical of someone who is a genuine emotional manipulator.

Other posts here have given genuine good advice, unfortunately I have to agree that while I am sure you are well meaning, you are being quite unhelpful here.

Apricots, upside down pears, Easter eggs, those teeny tiny sealed shot glasses of UHT milk you get in hotels, those big marbles we used to call Tom bowlers in primary school, eye balls, a large toy ant(assuming 6 holes in the holder rather than 12, otherwise 2 large toy ants)

The possibilities are endless!!!!

This is true, an egg won't last long unrefrigerated after its opened ;)

 

Imprisoning children instead of feeding them, pandering to our royal masters and sacrificing our kids in foreign wars are all signs of Australia's distinct system of privilege.

 

From war crimes and robodebt to the Leppington Triangle and the Thales scandal, no-one suffers real consequences for any abuse of public office.

 

46 per cent of Australians have put off treatment due to cost, and 76 per cent have struggled to find bulk-billing doctors. Expanding Medicare to cover dental has overwhelming support.

Yep, that'll fix the problem.....

One has to wonder, did the writers of this law want:

a. to limit the profile of fascists

Or

b. punish people protesting against fascists

🤔

I don't care what it costs. The idea that one person has the right to rule over others is offensive whether it is symbolic or not.

Yeah it's a great visualisation, you would need to do it for each electorate in the house if reps. Maybe you could do one for the whole senate though.

 

Despite claims that the health system is a poor productivity performer, Australia's public health system is more efficient than the private sector and delivers world-leading outcomes.

 

The ACTU says up to one million workers will have unfair dismissal rights, protections from wage theft and job security protections scrapped if proposed changes to workplace rights go ahead.

 

Ever wonder why Parliament is more interested in the rights of landlords than in fixing housing affordability.

 

The simple fact is that it is not enough to “punish Labor” in the coming elections. The real challenge is to build a political alternative to Labor that will act for the majority, not slavishly serve the billionaire class.

 

The mining industry launched a war of words on the Federal Government, an absurd move considering its minuscule contribution to the economy.

 

Governments can’t wave around the cash and create out of thin air a “market” that has any of the self-controlling properties described in economics textbooks.
