Why do we call them "Black Friday Sales" in Australia now, given it's US slang?
Here, Black Friday refers to the dreadful 13 January 1939 bushfires and has stood as a metaphor for the horrendous challenges of our country ever since. It's not commercial jargon ...

Putin’s blunders in Ukraine are reminiscent of US stupidities in Vietnam and Iraq. And likely to end in the same scale of failure

I caught a bit of a radio show today. They were dead wrong about why electricity and energy prices are high and I feel a responsibility to set the record straight.
A very short and digestible thread.

As a gesture of solidarity to the people of Ukraine, anyone needing to flee will be fast-tracked through our asylum seeker program and will only spend 9 years in offshore detention rather than the usual 12 – at Melbourne, Victoria

My sons employer convicted of causing his death handed down heaviest penalty in WA history - 320k. Although fine insignificant in value, very significant in setting precedent of 80% of Max. Under new WHS laws soon to be enacted this fine would convert to $2.8M. Win.
