Credit to the Australian members of parliament who haven’t let this go:

[Prime Minister Anthony] Albanese has said he raised the matter directly with the US, including with the president, Joe Biden, during his visit to Washington in October 2023.

In February this year, Albanese and cabinet members supported a motion put forward by independent MP Andrew Wilkie urging the UK and US to allow Assange to return home to Australia.

The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, said he also raised the matter with his US counterpart, Merrick Garland, during a meeting in January this year.

Looks like no increase in Jobseeker (big miss IMO). Everything was pre-released, so no big announcements.

I’ve always heard Wodehouse mentioned in the context of other authors like Pratchett and Adams.

What book would you recommend as a good starter?

The closest polling place to me isn’t doing snags or sweets according to the democracy sausage website. What an outrage! I have to travel further to get a decent feed! Anyway, onions on top of or under the snag?

It’s World Teachers Day on Oct 27. Maybe shout them lunch and give them gift cards? As for the school itself, offer to upgrade a specific thing? Like their books or arts and crafts supplies?

Interesting history of the 1967 referendum too.

2 dead :(

New Zealand Police. @nzpolice

The offender has moved through the building site and continued to discharge his firearm.

Upon reaching the upper levels of the building, the male has contained himself within the elevator shaft and our staff have attempted to engage with him.

Further shots were fired from the male and he was located deceased a short time later.

The Reddit migration was probably mostly people who know what an API is so that fits your demographic.

Also, people generally don’t take a stance on something unless it affects them personally. So API, privacy, data collection etc just doesn’t register.
