"While there has been a number of public updates on the progress of Victoria's treaty negotiations, the full details of the agreement, including what it will cost, remain confidential."
Yeah, that's going to go down like a lead balloon. As if there aren't enough back room deals done to the chagrin of the population.
Corruption happens behind closed doors. Make everything public. Then everybody can consider it in their own terms.
This is about transparency. Stop giving racists fantasy and theatrical leverage, and give the whole truth, so people can have informed discussions.
I went from about eight years on Duolingo, not progressing, and within one year in a class environment, I eclipsed my eight years easily. 4 years in German class, I have friends, and am in Germany now, listening to my wife and her old friends shoot the shit, and I understand a LOT of it. More than they'd like me to 😁
I started taking German classes and it's a small class of about 15 people and the bulk of them are now casual friends a few years later. Some good friends. It's awesome.
In 2024, a new law opened up the postal market to private competition and took away its exemption from the country's 25% rate of VAT, so the price of a PostNord stamp jumped to 29 Danish krone ($4.55; £3.35) per letter.
They come right out and say they can collect and share your sexual activity, health diagnosis data, and genetic information and other sensitive personal information for targeted marketing purposes. We absolutely aren't making that up. It says so in their Nissan USA privacy notice. And that's not all! They also say they can share and even sell "Inferences drawn from any Personal Data collected to create a profile about a consumer reflecting the consumer’s preferences, characteristics, psychological trends, predispositions, behavior, attitudes, intelligence, abilities, and aptitudes" to others for targeted marketing purposes. Yes, Nissan says they can infer things like how smart you are, if you have a predisposition to drink, if you are acting depressed, and if you are any good at chess (we're guessing that's what they can infer..it could be even worse than that), and then they say they can make as much money off that very personal information as they can.
You must live in Antarctica if that's keeping it high in the summer. My town gets over 40c regularly, and inside most people's houses is like a humid swamp.
By stopping the corruption in the mining sector, where politicians give the miners all of our resources tax free, and then get fat jobs with the miners, we could have everything we need and more.
How about we just stop the corruption, and get our free university, hospitals, and everything else like a modern country should.
Tax free miners getting rich of our resources. Our politicians getting fat jobs with them after finishing with government. Etc.
Easy to spot WA folk. They're all slightly ashamed that they're part of the reason we don't have free hospitals, university and a higher standard of living.
Cheese is named by colour, and not name, in your area? That's amazing
