It’ll be hard to enforce given how many parents in Oz are still children in terms of mental and emotional development, but it’s sending a clear message to all, at least.
The mature among us will applaud this move to protect our children.

Empathy is a rare trait, too, apparently. She lost 100 million yen and probably had her heart broken. She hasn't suffered enough to satisfy you?
Well said! Nice to see that some here have a heart.

So is the woman taking any responsibility for handing money over? Personal responsibility is a rare trait anymore.
So, I guess you have absolutely no idea whatsoever how utterly convincing these scam artists can be. Perhaps if someone cons you, you will, hey?
Anyhow, I’m glad they were arrested. May they have long to contemplate their crimes.

How does tidal power work when the sea is calm????
Well, first, you find yourself a watery planet with a great big moon orbiting it so that said moon pulls the water on said planet towards it so that as that planet rotates the water levels go up and down in any one spot thus creating these things that we call “tides”.

There are pro-Trump posters here who must love North Korea. My reasoning? They have the galling audacity to say that they and their orange god love democracy in the same way that Kim Jong Un, another buddy of the Don, says he does, while he grinds his brainwashed slaves into the sterile dirt of his poverty-stricken kingdom.

Worse than this evil moron is the fact that so many want him as president. Still, it only took Germany half a century to get over a world war and 6 million Jews murdered. Maybe America can do the same one day.

Not sure why this is news. Its his money and he can do what he wants with it.
Welcome to Politics 101! In this introductory lecture we’ll cover, among other things, why buying a $4.3 million dollar house when you’re launching a program to house the homeless you claim to care about will tend to lose you votes rather than get them. We’ll also cover baby kissing and why that is now frowned upon, and why spitting on poor people is best done away from cameras.

My questions above are, of course, rhetorical. Your parents’ political position, or a lust for personal power and, for many Americans, desperation, are enough to hook up your wagon to the Trump train, just like Germans back in the 1930s. I guess sheer stupidity must also be taken into account.

I’m guessing these folk would have just LOVED the Axis governments in WW2. Is it possible that we humans are genetically wired to love either democracy or dictatorships? How else can one ignore or justify the evil Trump has done? Even people inside the echo chamber made up of FOX, X, Breitbart, Newsmax and whatever Japanese right wing platforms there might be, still can’t avoid the fact that he is a convicted felon who lies as he breathes, counts racists and murderous dictators amongst his friends and led an insurrection back in 2020.
