The ABC has released its top 100 book list and it's quite telling. Jan flexes her psychoanalysis skills to explain what the picks say about how white Australians feel about multiculturalism.

I suspect if there is anything AI about it. Could clearly see a robot making noodles.
Interestingly, the prices are not cheap compared to some famous Chinese places nearby.
(Had to use google translate because many of the signs were not in English )

I've been paying for my mum's phone with Optus, at $35/month - it's just a simple flip phone, she only needs it for calls. Mainly defaulted to Optus since I'm using them.
That's going up to $40 now, as the new pre-paid minimum spend for 28 days. So now I'm wondering who is cheaper per month but still reasonably reliable? It's only Perth metro and only for calls and texts (minimal data, being a flip phone).
Edit: thinking about these:

After giving up that ALDI would bring back the Speculaas biscuits after replacing them with the Speculoos, they are back but in different packaging. Also looks like they are a special item and not a regular inventory.

Australian children whose parents did not finish high school are an average of five years behind in reading and writing, compared with children whose parents did complete their schooling.
A new literacy program in Mt Druitt in western Sydney is working to bridge that literacy gap.

Finder has found that 16.1 million Australians have noticed products getting smaller while the price stays put, but it still seems to slide through... And packages keep getting smaller. An Australian supermarket experiment found that shoppers react more strongly to price increases than to a smaller pack, which goes to explain why the primary duopoly of Australian supermarkets and suppliers lean on it.
This effect is cumulative. A few grams missing in one shop is invisible, but those grams are gone from every trip after that, and a second reduction later stacks on top of the first. Sooner or later, your Toblerone and Tim Tam packets are half the size.
We are seeing this more and more in Aussie supermarkets. What is the first product you noticed getting smaller?

This NextDC story is next level.
For anyone who doesn’t know, some smart civil disobedience occured when residents in Melbourne's inner west blocked Jemena (energy/energy services company) crews from installing 15-22m power poles through their streets by leaving their cars and bins out. Jemena suspended the works, and NextDC's M3 data centre couldn't get the extra power it needs.
The company has cut FY27 EBITDA guidance from A$385-410m to A$245-265m, and shares fell \~40% on Wednesday.
Put simply on Monday NextDC was worth $7B now it’s worth $4B.
Locals say they were never properly consulted. Council hasn't consented. Works won't restart before Feb 2027. Billion-dollar AI data centre vs. a street full of parked cars.
God I love this story. “It's the vibe." Tell him he's dreamin'. 🏡
