I’m sorry! So according to Erdogan, there is no commentary on how much ending a contract TWELVE YEARS EARLY is going to cost taxpayers. What the actual fuck? Equally, how the hell are we going to house all the prisoners in Port Phillip and what’s the extra cost of the public facilities?

Not consulted doesn’t sound all that surprising to be honest. Welcome to the world we’re all used to. Better to not be consulted than be consulted and forced to sign an NDA.

I gotta laugh at Sally McManus' comments on this one because it seems she's late to the party. Setka has been doing this for a long time and frankly, something should've been done years ago but the ALP were too busy sucking up to the CFMEU.

Watched this game last night and geez, Romania were very impressive. I must admit it was an unorthodox game plan to cede possession to Ukraine quite often, but they preyed on Ukranian mistakes and on the counter...wowee. That Stanciu goal especially...wow!

Uhhh, that's not a good sign at all. Loss of jobs ✅ Struggle for funding ✅ I sense that this is a lot worse than they're letting on somehow and that's disappointing because Booktopia has been excellent for books for quite some time.

I hate to say it but in this instance, Hollie Hughes MIGHT actually be right on this one Employers are going to be reluctant to hire women if things such as menopause leave are introduced That said, while she might be right, that doesn't mean we shouldn't introduce it. I think it's a great idea

Wait! Hold on a moment. Haven't the media been saying for years that there was a link between social media and mental health issues among young people? What the hell is going on here?

Disgusting comment and the way this was dealt with, wasn’t any better. Instead of warning and calling on that politician to withdraw, it should’ve been Withdraw and booted! Not an acceptable comment to make at all

Oh FFS! This sort of crap is why more sexual assaults are NOT reported to police; well, that and the fact that getting a conviction is incredibly difficult not to mention how traumatic the process is. This is an abuse of power, plain and simple and should be dealt with severely. Shame 😡😡😡

At this point Cheeseman should resign from parliament, just like Will Fowles should’ve resigned from parliament. What sort of deterrent is being kicked out of the party room when you can still draw an MP’s salary despite shit behaviour? Not good enough 🤦‍♂️

Hang on! What difference would that make when there are lengthy waiting lists for psychologists? Of course subsidised sessions have plummeted…no one can get an appointment to use them. I think the call is right but we’re missing the most important element; having enough psychologists.

Albanese does need to do more. 2023 was an appalling year for the Cost of Living. The govt had a singular focus on The Voice as opposed to actually looking at the issues surrounding COL and this year, they really need to get this right lest they be booted in 2025 as a result

This is ridiculous. On one hand, the right get offended when someone tries to cancel them for something. On the other hand, they are more than happy to call for boycotts or the like (cancelling) if someone does something they don't approve of Dutton, hypocrisy thy name is you!

Well it’s the beginning of 2024 and the hope that I had at the end of 2023 has been replaced instead with pain. I feel like the momentum I had, has just stopped as I confront the reality of another mistake. I trusted someone and now believe they scammed me. I am in despair at that reality again

This is horrendous but right now seems to be the norm here in Australia. What I find amazing is that South Australians booted the previous govt because of a health system crisis and then this crap occurs. May this guy R.I.P and may the ALP govt there be held accountable!

I would like to take the opportunity to wish everyone a belated Happy New Year. 2023 was a tough year for many, myself included and a lot of people will want to turn the book on such a year. May 2024 be a better year for everyone and a year that allows those who had it tough to recover!

As my final take on tonight's 28-point horror show x2, here is a picture to try and find humour from a dark night. Let there be no doubt, I love the Flyers and love the Phoenix. When both lose by 28 points ON THE SAME NIGHT, all I'm reduced to is trying to find something to lighten my mood.

This is a reflection of the mess that the Victorian Mental Health System is in at the moment. Waiting lists ⬆️ Number of Available Beds ⭕ Desperate times call for desperate measures which leads to *checks notes* 'bed brokers.' We can do much better than this most definitely!
