This won't work if the dog is a Labrador though, they love being sprayed with water and you'll just become their new best friend

Public hospitals are largely funded by state governments, while Medicare is entirely funded by the federal government. One government…

Plenty of clinics are struggling to attract GPs, more retire each year than are being trained domestically, and the previous strategy of…

> young and old vulnerable people who are literally on thier last dime Agree for young people (<25) because that pays dividends later on,…

Also a dearth of med students wanting to go into general practice, can't really blame them either given the lower pay, higher workload, and…

Right, they make good money but that comes at a ridiculous up-front investment of time/money/sanity. The Medicare rebate has stagnated…

It's $2 cheaper, like asking whether you should get a Tesla or a Dongfeng for the same price. You'll be disappointed with any cordless…

Having a Dyson is a status symbol, I've never even heard of the Shark brand.

Yes, about 50sqm, for two people. Like physically we could fit a months worth of supplies, buy a few chest freezers and stack tins of beans…

Where the hell do you store a months worth of food, let alone all other supplies, in a 1 bedroom apartment?

If only we had a party that was on the side of unions, which could pass legislation that would benefit workers. Imagine what they could do…

I had a multi-split Midea system installed a few months ago in VIC; $2500 total after rebates for a 18kW outdoor unit, with 2x 8kW and 1x…

Absolutely, it's a huge factor when trying to get a mortgage, and a decent drain on cashflow with repayments. It's certainly less of an…

I suppose you're applying a strong pesticide that will persist in their bodies for months at a lethal dose to fleas and ticks, to me it's a…

See, we tried the Seresto collar (bought directly from a vet so genuine product) with a different cat years ago, and it left these horrible…

If I squeezed a pipette of water onto his skin, he'd probably react the same way. He's well behaved, lets me trim his claws and bathe him…

It's actually completely fine, Jan 2025 is a sell-by date not a use-by date, so the amount of time required to use the medication is…

I usually pay around $45 for 6 months of Bravecto Plus, seem like 6 months of Neovet is closer to $40? Our cat absolutely hates being…

If you don't have a Collie, Shepard or Whippet then you're unlikely to have any adverse reactions from isoxazolines, as it's mostly a…

Pretty solid price for 6 months of flea + worming treatment, much cheaper and more convenient than Advocate. Also available for larger cats…

I refinanced with these guys a few months ago, decent experience but they're very old fashioned with paper documents, sending them files…

I did say it wasn't a fair comparison for a number of reasons, hard to compare total program costs over several decades. This would matter…

That's why I said it wasn't an entirely fair comparison, as it's the total program cost, and I believe future-inflation adjusted too. If it…

That sounds like a personal failing, why weren't you born here in the 60s so that you could have received free education then? Same with…

Diesel is a misnomer, they're actually electric submarines with a diesel generator that charges the batteries when out at sea, like a…

We need submarines and a strong navy to protect Australia, but nuclear submarines are a terrible investment. If I was in charge I would…

My gripe with HECs is that my parents didn't have to pay for their university education, but I did. If the government tracked down everyone…

It's like a new parent buying a $6000 pram, and then complaining that they can't afford rent. When asked why they spent so much on a pram,…

> the arguement 'uni was free' - is pretty stupid as less then 10 percent of the population went to uni back in the 50s now we have around…

You really don't think there are better ways to spend $368 billion? Maybe go with conventional diesel submarines and cut that in half if we…
