  Or just have all gambling be run by the government so the profits go to social services to support people who bankrupt themselves from gambling.

  In the US most of the lotteries are run by the government (typically state governments). If they can do it we can too.

  The idea is that if the government gets all the profit from gambling then that money can go into social services to support the people who bankrupt themselves from gambling.

  Because you can strictly enforce spending limits per person. The current system allows people who hit the limit to go down the street to an ATM and get more cash out. A digital card system is designed to close that loophole.

  They probably don’t have enough capable staff to manage all the regeneration, it’s never been a top priority for them. They should hire people to do it.

  +1 for Digestives, cheap (Aldi), delicious, available in dark chocolate and sugar-free and really high in fibre (which helps to regulate the glycaemic response).

  I haven’t heard anyone say recently “I have too much fibre in my diet”.

  VicForests should be forced to regenerate coupes that have not actually regenerated, even those already handed back to the government. If it hasn’t regenerated as it would have without logging they should be liable. If the coupe was affected by bushfires they should still regenerate it.

  And then he gets hired at Optus… Nek minute…

  Interesting point, especially given all the bad IT practices at Optus that have hit the news the last year or so - and that’s just the bits we know about.

  Smells like management have a lack of respect for IT and there’s a distinct lack of seniority. Telstra can afford to employ the best - and have to - to satisfy the requirements of their large government/defence customer base. Optus IT seem to be a bunch of Yes people who do the wrong thing frequently, probably under pressure from the hierarchy.

  Careful with NewPipe, lot of Malware infested versions floating around on the internet

  Google have just started blocking all ad blockers, hence being so cocky about jacking up the price now.
