I was being sarcastic. I meant republican in the American sense of being reactionary. The Labor party seems compromised by the mining lobby.

I'm not about to vote liberal, but feel disappointed by some Labor decisions. The anti-protest law in particular seem to have bipartisan support despite democratic resistance. Protests over freedom of association were once the backbone of union membership and strength.

I am grateful I can practise heartfulness.
It's really important for me to engage with others at an emotional level. Too much mind interferes with the flow of feelings, so I try not to think while I'm at work.
@Ilandar
I can't see the daily discussion topic, but it was something about Aus developing trends of USA politics. They're already here. We have two republican parties.
@Ilandar@trk
No. We are perfectly capable of having our own version of the right wing extremist shambles. Reaction to hard times. Source good news. Stay calm and vote against them.

The health care system is pretty broken for neurotypical people too. Expect long waits with a temporary blanket and bowl of porridge for those that qualify. Later, write to your MP about the lack of funds.

two metric milk crates. One on either side? You win - detachable shopping cart sounds great if you can afford to accessorize. Front handle basket for squashables!
@Nath@Thornburywitch
An Australian unit of measurement that applies here is the milk crate. a bottom end attachment for a bike carrier will carry one persons weekly shop. attach with cable ties or similar. Wife sold our Yuba brand Boda-Boda cargo bike. I still commute with pedal power.
@Nath@Baku
An eloquent and insightful explanation of Aussie culture there. Five stars is probably wanky overkill. Four stars sounds expensive. Three stars is normal. Two stars getting a bit bogan. One star quite feral.

Australia should be exporting SPAMB (canned spiced lamb) instead of live sheep. Keep the labour local and remove the argument about third world lack of refrigeration. True globalism would see spambwiches being served in cornish high tea and alaskan cafeterii.
@RustyRaven@LowExperience2368 you can combine paracetamol with non-steroidal anti-inflamatory such as nurofen or voltage to amplify the analgesic effect. Cold pack.

Allow me to focus on the anti-protest law.
How did that arise from the workers?
Isn't industrial action a fotrm of protest?
