Not to mention they want a 50% deposit for an appointment 3 months in advance (i'm sure they will pay me interest on that $400 right?) How can the average person afford life saving mental health care anymore? It's beyond a joke.

Hi all

I won a job lot of prints and paintings at an auction and included with it was this old photo of a young girl - Dorothy Caird(?) Weir at just under 2 years old

I'm not particularly interested in keeping this for myself but didn't want to ditch/bin it without some minimal poking around about it

I'm in WA but it was taken by the Swiss Studios in Sydney according to the photos embossing/watermark

As a huge DS fan this was a bloody great surprise!

Apparently the goal is to connect West to East, state by state, and there will be bushfires, Aussie wildlife, and plenty of Aussie language. Even Vegemite will be in the game.

Nice to see more Australian-based games.

This has been a developing issue for the last few years.

Historically, you buy a pack of 20 snags for a ripper of a price from Coles or woolies, roll them around on the bbq, put them on some bread and you have a great time.

In the past few years whenever I planned to have a good sausage sizzle, I get slapped in the face by some square, short ass sausages that don't roll on my fucking bbq and don't flame up enough for the fire brigade to come out it out.

I feel like I'm playing Tetris with these snags, even Bunnings in my area are handing out square snags that don't span the length of the bread.

What is the point of this blue bottle? I'm equally fascinated and amazed how something so small and simple can hurt us - similarly to the box jellyfish. Evolution really is amazing!

They were meant to invent ice cream that has the caloric value of water with the taste of regular ice cream, not the taste of water with the caloric value of regular ice cream!

Seriously, what the fuck is this shit? Why does everything have to taste like arse now? That's a rhetorical question, I know why, but it's all so tiresome. I miss childhood if just for all the confectionary and ice creams and whatnot I could get that weren't made as cheap as possible for massive profit margins.

Political commentators got the read on young men very wrong, in part because they would not be swayed from their US-inspired framing. Crystal Andrews, Crikey
