I can't believe Gura broke her contract with Yagoo /s

While no doubt we could've done a lot worse, this still reads like a satirical headline to me

 

In short:

Former prime minister Scott Morrison will be appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia (AC) for his "eminent service" to the country.

He thanked the Australian people for their "courage and resilience" during multiple crises during his term, including the COVID pandemic and Black Summer bushfires.

What's next?

King’s Birthday Honours List award recipients will be invited to ceremonies at their state's Government House over coming months.

I can't believe Yagoo locked Gura into a contract that requires her to stream until she's 90 /s

Idk, this seems more like underseas news than overseas news?

(it actually just seems like domestic news)

 

Yet another thing from her recent birthday stream

It actually sounds like the van's panels (I'm guessing especially the large roof panel) can provide non-trivial power:

"Even if I'm stuck somewhere we just have to wait a couple of hours and it'll self charge and bring me home." (emphasis added)

No doubt the huge array of panels on his roof can give it a lot more juice though!

 

I'm not returning to my regular schedule for a long time. It is for me. I'm basically working on myself.

If this was a regular job I honestly would've quit. And I'm just very grateful that I have this opportunity and I really wish everyone could do this. I wish everyone, if they needed to, could take time away and just focus on themselves. It's horrible that life isn't like that for most people.

It was quite rough for me for a long time, and I just kind of just kept pushing it down "I'll deal with this later, I'll deal with this later, I'll deal with this later" but it went to the point where I gotta deal with this.

 

In calendar news, Australia Day is officially changing date after this year and will no longer be celebrated on January 26th. With a new date of January 20th chosen instead in order to celebrate the day that Scott Morrison announced his departure from politics.

The day was reportedly chosen for the holiday as it was clearly the day that Australia has most come together to celebrate, like what Australia Day claims to be.

 

The origin of at least $57m – amounting to about a quarter of all funding to major political parties – is unknown, according to an analysis by Guardian Australia.

The analysis of annual political returns, released by the Australian Electoral Commission on Thursday, show between 21% and 27% of donations and other receipts to Labor, the Coalition and the Greens were from unnamed sources.

 

For the longer term, the Stage 3 decision has burst a dam, unleashing a much wider tax debate.

The pressure is coming from two directions – from those whipping up scares of what the government might do and those who want the government to undertake a range of ambitious reforms.

Covid, yes, but not widespread lockdowns (and some other stuff from the "early covid" period) which is basically what the article is reflecting on. For example, I hadn't really thought about how it could affect child social development due to significantly reduced social exposure.

This isn't really a "covid is over" piece. 'It's still a serious human pathogen' wouldn't be a sub-heading if it was.

Good stuff, sometimes aggressive measures need to be taken to look out for the interest of the shareholders. Plus the fuel discount is a perfectly timed Christmas gift, exactly what Australia needs in a cost of living crisis. Bravo Woolies, very proud to have my superannuation invested in a company that cares!

In this experiment, external funding is paying for the handouts.

In a self-contained system, the same system/community providing the handouts would be generating the revenue for them (e.g., via taxation). Think of existing social welfare where "the system" generates the revenue that pays for the welfare programs.

I agree it's a useful insight, but it's the only sentence in the entire article that isn't instead discussing the merits of lump sum vs regular payment. Saying that "it's the takeaway" from the linked article is insanity.

The Wikipedia page for Hitler includes the sentence:

The stock market in the United States crashed on 24 October 1929.

That doesn't make it the takeaway of the article!! If you want to make a case for something, bring the right evidence. As the researchers themselves have said, this study can't just be generalized to high-income countries.
