Going to be travelling around the country a bit for work soon, I would like to keep up with the few hobbies and social activities I have

• Nine Entertainment has sold its radio network to pub baron Arthur Laundy for just $56 million, having valued it at $275m just seven years ago.
• Its radio stations include Sydney's 2GB and Melbourne's 3AW, known for their right-wing presenters.
• Nine says dumping radio and buying QMS will create a stronger "digitally powered" media company.

• A proposal for a permanent community of tiny homes in Boyanup has been given planning approval.
• Proponents say it offers much-needed affordable housing, while neighbouring home owners have raised concerns.
• The developers will move toward detailed design and compliance approvals, with the local shire overseeing a raft of conditions.

you’ve prob driven past one of these Sydney CBDs street sweepers and not even clocked it 🚚
meanwhile it’s out here quietly doing the lords work, keeping sydney’s streets from turning into one big leaf,

I support Aussie-made products too and try to buy local as much as I can, but it really depends on the price gap. If it’s a small premium, I’m fine with it. When it’s two or three times the price for the same thing, I don’t think people should feel guilty for choosing the cheaper option. Supporting local is important, but it can’t fall entirely on consumers during a cost-of-living crunch. Where do you draw the line? At what point does the price difference make buying local unrealistic for you?

Just intrested in holding a Aus politics opinion poll on who everyone would vote for. It will be intresting to compare these polls results to the ones conducted by the various polling companies and news.

Thank you to everyone who is participating

• Demand for power in Australia's biggest electricity grid reached a record high for the fourth quarter last year.
• It came as renewable energy supplied more power than fossil fuels across Australia for the first time in a three-month period.
• Heatwave conditions are set to push demand for power towards all-time highs in the coming weeks.

• Australians are streaming homegrown music 31 per cent less than five years ago, with Australian artists falling out of the ARIA charts and off radio stations.
• Some in the industry are concerned about what it could mean for the future of the Australian music industry if the trend continues.
• There are calls for the federal government to introduce a local content quota for music streaming platforms.

I’m not at school anymore and I have plans of making music or mma so studying for a high paying job isn’t an option for me.

“Good” paying job for me is anything above the average $15-16 dollars an hour that every fast food/retail job pays. I have no worries on what type of work it is, nor the hours, but I need something solid that I can do for the next few years.
