I convinced my partner to play to the moon. The sound of crying was how I knew she’d reached the end.

The music still gets me a little bit sometimes.

Really in the spirit of truth telling. The country will never be ready to face it’s past at this rate.

It’s a bit hard to single that poor fellow out…

Won’t someone think of the poor genocidal maniac?

Loved revelation space, but yeah long read.

Arthur C Clarke and Asimov both wrote loads of good novel length SciFi so I’d start there if you haven’t gotten into them.

If you’re into sci-fi, how much have you gone through the classics? Most are novel length so don’t require a huge commitment (I too struggle with long books).

I’m not convinced that increasing dingo numbers wouldn’t at least help control the population. Basically all predator-prey systems go though cycles afaik (we teach this model to first year maths students). Obviously I’d have to read more to form a stronger opinion though.

In fact, for those of us who eat meat, we should avoid beef, lamb, and pork. Kangaroo is FAR more sustainable from an environmental perspective…
… even if Skippy is on our National Coat of Arms.

This I agree with, I live overseas now and I miss a good roo-steak.

Governments have backed controls and culls of the kangaroo’s natural predator – the dingo

“The natural alternatives are being killed by a dingo or dying by starvation,” he says.

Farmers livestock might be at risk but can we not reintroduce more dingos to manage the population?

Why aren’t you just sending people a doi or a hyperlink if they want a paper? And if they have asked for a specific paper surely they can do the renaming?

Wow what a shock. Guess running a uni like a for profit business works like shit. Maybe the real problem not cited in this article is that the upper management are all worthless.

I think this was the original proposal in 2007 when Rudd was pm. We’ve been flip flopping on subs for almost 20 years

Because his contexless stats is just 13/50 for indigenous Australians. I know it’s popular with American conservatives to say that black people deserve it, but we can do better.

I think the idea is that it stops rich AF people using their super to store wealth by sitting on assets and instead forces them to use super to invest, which can actually help the economy.

This corrosive billionaire puts a lot of money into Australian politics, I think it’s important to know what you’re enemy is thinking.

It’s blown up since the voice, if you watch clips from CPAC Australia you can watch every extremely funny conservative dickhead make the same joke about it for the last 2 years or so.

The bill has been passed, but doesn’t come into effect until next year.

Adobe Haven’t these dickheads been charging Australians more for their products than anyone else for decades?

If you’re going to urge the US to target Australia it should be within the rights of every Australian to just torrent your shit if they want.

Well she has full confidence of the Chancellor that I’m sure has nothing to do with the contracts for mates or the free travel.

I’ve been enjoying the AFR articles on the VC. I got out just in time I think.

Hey we’re sorry about the referendum, here’s a picture on a fiver instead.

Why would he want to be informed? Then he has to lie rather than just make shit up.

Hey Mickey?
