The privatised Commonwealth Employment Service will never get better. The services offered by the private sector for job placement are utterly dismal. Personal experience via my then 55 yo partner being laid off from the mines up in Muswellbrook.
Every job he got after that, casual or permanent, were positions that I hunted down. They interviewed him once, right at the start, and not a single offer came his way from them in the ensuing 4 years that he worked or looked for work.
And pavlovas are Australian, Crowded House and Split Enz are Aussie bands and, while vanilla slices MAY have been created overseas, the 'snot block" is distinctly Australian.
You'll never see a snot block in a French patisserie.
Feather tailed possums are just the latest adoption.
Partner and I have 2 individual accounts where we get our personal money paid in and a main bill paying account that covers everything not related to personal stuff. We both contribute to the main account and pay out from that each fortnight for our "allowances".

I need my daughter in my life.
I need my partner in my life.
I need my friends in my life.
I don't need wine in my life but it certainly helps when I see stupid statements like "I need Jesus in my life".

And today #ElonMusk paid a bill for 4000 pies that a Tesla concern stiffed a local bakery for.
Big fucking woop.

Gay marriage referendum didn't get as vicious as this and that's saying a lot.

So basically, she said stuff that was not academically challenged and has no real foundation.
Sounds almost political.

We’ve seriously been asleep at the wheel for decades. The acquisition of STUFF, the need for moah SHINY THINGS, this is it.
