Maybe one day our elected leaders will actually do some leading, rather than pandering to people in their pockets (and I’m not talking about one or another political party, they’re all shit). Whats the alternative at the moment? I don’t know. Meritocracy has some useful features, but it’s historic applications have not worked out so well long tern and sometimes devolves into socialism or is abused to create substantive inequality. History has alot of great examples of where different alternatives have not worked…

Until the libs turn around and scream that we’re killing off peoples jobs and blah blah. Then they’d get to “How could Labor allow AI to do that?” and then sky news would do a whole segment on it convincing the NIMBYs that we are the enemy and a potato would never allow that to happen.

Murdoch’s manipulation via media needs to stop somehow. It’s gotten way too out of hand.

I think the lack of ordinal suffixes seems to be an increasingly (non-format-specific) common thing across many date formats and date vernaculars. I still add it when Im saying dates out loud or writing emails (eg “26th January” vs “26 January”) because it sounds less mechanical and robotic.
Probably doesn’t help that I’m autistic and omitting tiny little details like that give me eye twitches… Lol

Yeah I know that now. 😊

I tend to disagree. The only people I know who use American date format pf mmm dd are either heavily influenced by American culture, media and other sourced like these, or are actually from a country which uses mmm dd date formats. The vernacular that I’ve experienced over 3 states and 5 cities on the east coast of Australia is “day month”.

Actually we do have an official standard for both short and long date. It’s “day month year”, not “month day”. Short dates are d/m/yyyy, long dates are dd mmm yyyy. stylemanual.gov.au/…/quick-guide-dates-and-time#%…

Fair enough, although “January 26” is still American date format, not Australian date format.
Anyway, not trying to cause an argument or anything, just pointing out some tips you might like to pass on to the graphic designer and marketing team. I’ll see myself out.

“January 26 15” at the top. I mean, even translating that from American date format, it still doesn’t make sense…
Again though, nothing against the statement being made, I am in the “Australia day isn’t a celebration” camp too. Just a shame the date format isn’t Australian date format. It detracts from the effectiveness of the statement by making the incorrect date format the focus, rather than the statement being made.

Whis AI made this? Australians don’t use month-day format, we use day-month format.
Ps, nothing against the statement being made here…
