  • Oh I see. Search “Gina” in the ABC app/site. They have a bunch of articles (11 since June) varying from reporting on her attendance at events, to highlighting her relationship with Pauline Hanson and stupid shit she says like that QLD should give islands to fellow wealth hoarder and haver of shit takes, Elon Musk.

    Christopher Doore is earning his keep, suckling at his masters teet and trying to bring heat to anyone with the audacity to criticise his owner by proxy. I don’t think it’s deeper than that. She wants a return on her investment and newspapers aren’t a booming media industry.









  • I used to order somewhat frequently when I first moved to the city on a weekend before the pandemic and the prices became cooked. Going from a small city of 3 Chinese restaurants and one sushi place to an entire city you can order from was awesome and novel.

    Gradually every other order just started getting messed up. I was home pissed one night and decided to order some food while gaming with some mates. It came hours late and Uber offered me like five bucks off my next order and that’s after bitching about it. That’s was pretty much the end for me. The food can arrive whenever, in whatever state and so long as it arrives, fuck you eat your hour cold slop. I can buy and/or make better junk food myself for far cheaper in most case. With one of their main competitors folding I doubt it’s gotten better.

    It also felt like some of the stores didn’t want to do Uber. That management saw the dollar signs but then wouldn’t put more staff on Fri/Sat when the stores would get swamped with orders from boozers.




  • Problem is people like OP is referring don’t stay at shelters long as they generally require you don’t drink/do drugs/keep your area clean. A good portion of the homeless population aren’t just “down on their luck” they’re long term homeless/unemployed due to undiagnosed mental illness and substance dependence. There’s also a subset of them who are frequently belligerent so you’d need staff able to work around people like this, pay them adequately for doing so and pay for security. It’s usually not that simple an issue to address as anyone who’s been around homeless areas can tell you.
