This screams “look we’re doing something about the cost of living crisis!” energy without tackling the major influences in the cost of living like housing and grocery prices.

This would be amazing if they could pull it off. Would take a burden off parents as well - don’t have to keep track of lunch items, make lunch, drag lunchboxes out of bags, wash them etc.

Great leveller as well if the kids doing it tough get the same food as everyone else.

That’s a good reminder to check the sunscreen before summer hits too. Thanks OP.

Woo! Get in everyone, we’re going back to the good old days! No uppity women, no trans people and burning shit tons of coal!

That’s awesome! I’m keen to see what they do with the buses if they get back in too.

I mean games, tv, movies all have some sort of rating system so you don’t really have to spend a lot of time reviewing the content for your kids. Seems like a gap that this doesn’t exist for books.

On mobile I get (almost) 3 lines of 1 story. lol

I hate it. Really hard to skim read.

This misalignment is also shitting me to tears.

V8 precision driving the demonstration Olympic sport. Nice.

The swing from the bottom of the petrol cycle to the top was nearly 50c a month ago. It has been divorced from reality for a long while. The ACCC petrol price enquiry did nothing and people were all over Miles about “what’s in it for us poor drivers” when he announced the 50c fares. So it’s a particular pain point in QLD and will be interesting to see what they can do it they push forward with this.

No peak/off peak here. Brisbane metro. 38c is ouch.

Switched my electricity provider from nectr to Ampol. Nectr was raising rates to over 29c so found a provider that was 25c. Should get the cost of living payout as well.

Another one in FNQ that isn’t getting much media coverage too https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/jun/29/man-allegedly-stabbed-woman-to-death-before-attempting-carjack-on-major-queensland-highway

Im sure both of these will go on a list somewhere and we’ll continue to ask “what can we do?”
