There are many species of deadly things in Australia, but it’s very rare to encounter them in daily life.

I’m 40 and I’ve only seen a snake a handful of times while out hiking, and they’re usually trying to get away from me.

If you leave your shoes outside overnight you have to check them for spiders.

But apart from that it’s rare to encounter the deadly things in Australia. And when you do, they’re not trying to attack you.

It’s weird to watch Americans celebrate MLK Day and know that most of their ancestors were very much against him and the civil rights movement

We don’t hear about it because we don’t live in the USA

I don’t think you can say white people haven’t experienced racial discrimination. Most of us haven’t, but I’m sure in the history of the world you’ll find some examples.

what exactly does "keep in touch" mean?

I’ve been doing some interviews lately, and my most recent one seemed to be my most promising one so far, until he started doing what he called “light tech screening” and did some trivia questions to test my knowledge on what goes on under the hood. I do admit, I should have been better prepared on the topics, and didn’t...

I think he wants you to message him every day with a little “hi, how’s it going? Hope you’re having a good day”

I know a lot of people for whom monogamy hasn’t turned out well, too. Lots of divorces and broken hearts. If you think of all the relationships that don’t work out, the ones that do are miracles.

That’s probably a selection bias though. Most people might try opening up their relationship when there are already problems.

Yeah Uber is pretty common. People get dropped off.

Mr Inbetween. First season is gold.

The girl from tomorrow. I see it’s on Stan now.

Love is a four letter word.

Who’s this “we”? My city still has them.

It’s not a true rhyme with either of them.

It’s likely the election won’t take place until next year.

It’s already 47% above 180k (including the Medicare levy), not to mention the GST on most goods and services. The rich pay the vast majority of the tax in this country, and raising tax rates risks pushing some of them to move overseas. (Which results in less taxes collected overall among other issues). It’s a fine balance. The real problem, as I see it, is companies and individuals who find ways to avoid paying taxes. We need to fix the loopholes.

There’s also 6.5% payroll tax that we never see.

Australia has one of the lowest top tax bracket ranges around. It makes sense to bump it from 180k to 200k.

DavidDoesLemmy,
@DavidDoesLemmy@aussie.zone avatar

What makes you think 47% is not high enough?

Unless you live in one of the many countries that have good employment laws.

There should be at least one women involved. I don’t think MMM is for me.

I personally agree with you, but the counter argument is that would make it much harder for 15yo kids to get a job. Most employers would prefer to hire someone a bit more mature if it cost the same. So allowing a lower minimum wage for teenagers evens the playing field a bit.

Yep I agree it’s a problem
