I've already had to justify each purchase to the registrar individually, just like everyone else with guns in Australia.

Placing an arbitrary limit on the purchase of something you have to individually justify is silly.

Just like a golfer doesn't use a wood when they're on the green in golf, and "mum" doesn't use a semi trailer to drop the kids to school; a hunter doesn't use an air rifle to hunt foxes.

Or at least, I don't.

If I wanted an air rifle capable of humanely dispatching a fox, I'd need to apply for a permit to acquire this snowflake 50cal single-shot-with-a-scuba-tank abomination.
And part of that is justifying why one of my existing firearms can't do the job in question.
And even if that's approved, I have to consider my storage obligations; because quantities and categories impact your storage requirements.
Which are subject to inspection, failure of which can cost your licence, forfeiture of your firearms and fines.

The /average/ gun owner doesn't have 6 now, it's a pain in the ass.

And frankly, none of your business or concern.

Mmm, bait.

I was indeed speaking in generalisations, we could split it even further into hundreds of little sub-groups.
Those who are anti hunting, but pro gun vs those that are pro hunting but anti gun for instance.

The amount of people who are actively pro gun in any form is bigger than the group who are ACTIVELY anti gun.
And both of those together are outnumbered 20:1 by people who either don't care at all or non active.

this?

the fuck does 1 person need more than 6 guns for?

This is bait.

The National Cabinet agreed in principle to the deal, but implementing it requires their individual states to buy in.

I'm surprised the federal government hasn't completely abandoned this yet.
It's simply not worth the political capital:
There's a vocal minority desperate to take away other people's guns for personal/idea logical reasons.
There's a slightly larger, but still a minority, desperate to keep their guns (who personally have never done anything wrong).
And an uncaring majority who are being told they will have to pay for it with their taxes.

This is pretty much what an American Staffordshire Terrier looks like, they are famous for that smile.

They are also famous for destroying things as puppies.
Mine tore apart the old couch we had on the back porch for him to sit on.
So we threw it away and sourced another free one from the side of the road.
Which he then tore to shreds.

Incredible animals; love humans, hate other dogs, need training.

The number of 18 year olds that make it to 6 months in any given job is already low.
It's about to become very close to zero.

I've witnessed 3 people in this age bracket suddenly get zero shifts (or are only offered emergency shifts) over the last 3 years, over multiple jobs each.
JB HiFi, KFC and Ghanda are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I reckon it's put on.

A deliberate one eye'd take, specifically in response to things like sky news.
It's not about airing facts, but moving the Overton window.

I feel the same way about Richard Stallman; he's an impractical zealot.
But by taking his extreme positions, it's provided room for others to achieve real good in open source.

The average wholesale power price is plummeting.
There's also massive price spikes during exceptional conditions, where we rely primarily on gas turbines. We also have massive daily connection fee charges to contend with.

As a retail customer, the prices remain the highest in the country and arguably some of the highest in the world.
Currently I am paying 46c/kWh for what I use, compared to ~ 28c in Victoria and Tasmania, 33c in Queensland or 36c in New South Wales.

On top of this high usage charge, I am also paying 125c per day as the "Supply Charge" just for being connected.

I'm not 100% sure where the blame should be placed here, but SOMEONE is making mega profits, because the savings aren't being passed on.

I've been running Cachy for a few months - it just works.

I picked it because it appeared to be easy to install Arch (which I've run before, btw) with sane defaults.
But that's exactly what Endeavour is from what I just read.
I don't know if the purported optimisations provide any real world benefit, but the major reason I went Cachy is it being the flavour of the month.
For the time being, it's where a lot of focus is for new development in the gaming space.

Valve operates a very "flat" hierarchy, with no middle managers.
There's Gabe and then there's everyone else.
This doesn't make Valve proof from unscrupulous kowtowing by any means, but Gabe has historically been moderate.

They've always followed a policy of following the laws of the countries they operate in, and in that way you could expect them to bow to the CCP, but only in China.
For instance, I don't see them suddenly banning all images of Winnie the Pooh in the rest of the world just because they make Dear Leader uncomfortable.
