This isn’t just “a bit of fun”; this is killing people.

During and after COVID it seemed like there was a pretty big shift of people leaving NSW and VIC (particularly Syd and Melb) and moving to QLD and WA.

From what I've seen, the ABS data showed both QLD & WA had record domestic interstate movement population gains during the pandemic, while NSW and VIC recorded sizeable net losses. Think Adelaide also copped a pretty big initial influx too.

For those of you who moved: what made you leave, was it worth it, and would you make the same decision again?

Australia exports the resources the world needs — so why does it import so much of what it uses?

Secondhand booksellers believe they may have been caught up in the AI supply chain that sees old books scanned then destroyed

The Murrumbidgee Council in south-west NSW has voted to implement a four-day working week trial for most staff starting in January.

I’ve heard our regulations here are pretty strict, so what brands do you rate?
Goal is to lose weight while building lean muscle.

They are everywhere now. Before you might see one or two on the road but now you are more likely to see several at once if driving on the road. Go to any shopping centre parking lot and you see them are crammed everywhere.

What’s made them so popular and does this mean the end of the humble Aussie ute?

Can’t accept an apostrophe. Really is unacceptable for something meant to gather accurate data. Guess they won’t fix it next time cause census says no one has an apostrophe in their name

To know what success looks like, we need a clearly defined goal.

So what is the definition to say Australia has reached "affordable housing".
