So annoying. The ABC says average weekly earnings are $2000. This 2K figure is based on the CSC Full-time Earnings. The reality is the median income is closer to $800 per week (abs 2021 census). Why do we only count people working full time when we discuss income? It's so misleading.

There is a paradox at the heart of the cost-of-living debate

If sharp increases in interest rates aren't the right tool to control inflation, what is? The experience of the 1980s provides an idea.

Very symbolic of the political class. Just going round and round in one spot yet again, but not doing anything that gets people and society to where we need to go.

Any bat that is on the ground is in serious trouble. If you see a bat in trouble, call the folks at Bat Rescue & Conservation Qld - @batsbcrq.bsky.social

This fellow was found crawling along the ground - possibly hit a branch & got a head knock. He’ll be fine & ready for release back into the wild, after a short period of care & rest. But if the person who found him hadn’t called it in for a rescue, he likely would have be dead within a day or two

It’s amazing how few places offer Ketamine treatment. Even though there are heaps of psychiatrists where I am who’ll offer all sorts of treatments, this one was extremely hard to find & access. (Could be because it’s out of patent so there’s no profit in it - not sure)
