My partner was saying they’ve recently updated their menu. So maybe they had a few problem dishes before.
Hmm, I identify with this bumper sticker a little more than i’d like to.
Ha! Yep, Spam and bin folders must get a real workout in that reception.
Its a pretty long standing policy now, hard to have assurance of continuity of business for sure.
Its been a long time coming. The sentiment of the rest of Australia has only grown in this direction as the terrible animal treatment in other countries and the arguments for deepening of our own economic value adding processes have strengthened.
Farmers had over a decade since the last serious push for them to set up a different business model themselves and they haven’t as an industry done it.
Its time government stepped in to provide the new direction for the industry and finally take heed of the wider Australian moral sentiment about the treatment of our animals in these circumstances.
That looks really awesome! I’s hoping you’d not stopped posting, or given up on the project when you hadn’t posted in a while. What a fantastic curved ceiling!
Haha, I love it especially because it looks like they’ve updated their signage over time, but kept the line. It makes me imagine the owner is excessively humoured by their own tagline, and maybe they’ve become known about town as that “show us your crack place”.
I know its not to everyones taste but the Ellington has live music during the week.
Probably a good sort of music you’d want to unwind to at the end of a day as well. I don’t know about always, but the events are often ticketed.
I also just tried the greek restaurant across the square from the Ellington, its called Brika, and damn its good.
So those two paired might be a nice evening. Or either separately would be good to
Wow! Thats a pretty awesome one. Thats probably the one @nath is talking about.
I can’t think which one you mean near yhe CBD. I suppose the hyde park one is good, and of course kings park, but can’t think of any closer than those.
I didn’t read it that way. Sounds like for whatever reason the RMIT partnership is ending but ABC is going to carry on with it on their own.
This is probably a bad development. RMIT gave the work an extra sense of rigour and independence. It meant liberals and nationals, and conservatives in general couldn’t dismiss their work as just more ABC lefty commie wokeratti greenie stuff, as so many of those people reflexively do now.
The ABC should immediately start looking for a new partner of similar calibre in this ongoing endeavour.
But what is America without US? /s
I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.
Spirit world is where its at.
Labors maybe attempting to placate the baroney baron so she doesn’t do her plutocrat thing and pump more money into the “Nuclear in a decade or two” campaign she has her lackey Dutton running around the country bleeting about.
It won’t work… plutocrats gona plutocrat until their power is broken.
Though, i can’t believe there wasn’t a massive backlash against woolworths and coles for allowing red cycle to fail, it was their wild card out of the plastic waste negative publicity they suffer.
But there are thousands of types of plastics used by all kinds of companies with such little transparency/rationalisation that the plastic types can really only be boiled down to 7 broad buckets.
There are no market or government incentives i know about to choose recycled plastic over virgin for all categories but to charge an ecological premium for a companies product.
And thats only to consider some of the problems with so much plastic use. To even consider, a reasonable reducing, reusing, recycling plan for plastics we have to consider the costs this will entail to all the medical gear, electrical gear, cars, and everything else we successfully use plastic for.
The one great thing though, is plastic is supposedly a byproduct of the oil industry. So if the economies of scale start shifting away from oil production, we might finally begin to see a true reflection of the cost of plastic, not one artificially low because oil as a fuel is the flagship product.
I’m not a proponent of nuclear energy, especially not for Australia, but we need a better whole of system waste management design, inclusive of radioactive waste materials.
Be it from the boats we’re deciding to build, the unresolved temporary on site waste storage at Lucas Heights, or a possible future refining rare earth elements.
Right now all the different levels of government seem to do is farm their waste problems out to contractors when the waste disposal becomes complicated. And these conpanies like Visy don’t seem to invest in much apart from the odd MIRV here and there and stick it in the ground.
Australia has got to be among the most wasteful societies on our planet, (per capita), but we also must have among the best abilities to deal with this problem.
First problem is, its not even on our radar as an issue that holds back our development as a country that does anything else but digging stuff out the ground.
Just listened to this,

Its inspired me to see the impact our half hearted attempts at waste management are possibly having on the strength and diveraity of the nation’s industry.
Not sure what you mean, but its Wine Australia doing leadership workshops down in Margaret River region.
But, judging by the downvotes, i’m not sure people are lovin the wine industry news lol :p
Been a bit partial to vanilla icecream with one of those mini nonnas apple pies lately. If i’m feeling adventurous, a bit a custard to.
The sitting areas nice and airy though
We got the banquet, so tried quite a few things. I enjoyed it all. My one problem was how fast it started coming out, they could’ve taken it a little slower.
