Ketchup is actually different to tomato sauce here, its generally tomato sauce, not ketchup used (I'm not sure of the difference, only seen it on supermarket shelves).

Yeah they're definitely different here, made differently with quite different tastes.

Also refer all your Australia related questions to us, we love answering questions.

I'm Canadian and I've lived in Australia for 8 years now. I can tell you that whatever compass/spectrum of political ideology you use that puts only one Canadian party to the left would comfortable put both major Australian parties far far to the right.

I assure you, the concept of left/right has a very different demarcating line between them in Australia than Canada.

Based on policy I'd call greens left, with labour centrist with NXT just to the right of that and the libs being hard right.

"An organisation founded by the Australian Christian Lobby plans to bankroll legal cases for business owners who refuse to provide services to gay couples should marriage equality be legalised.

The Human Rights Law Alliance, set up in Canberra last month with seed funding from the ACL, is seeking private contributions for a “fighting fund” to run cases that may arise if changes to the Marriage Act are passed."

"The resources minister, Matt Canavan, says the abuse of Australia’s legal system by green groups seeking to delay mining projects warrants a “fundamental” review of environmental law.

Canavan on Wednesday used a Queensland Media Club luncheon speech to take aim at activists who harbour an anti-development ideology."

"The head of ANZ has admitted that some of the bank’s customers have not been advised that their financial advisers have been banned by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission."

Q: Could you perhaps explain to people who don’t own guns why one would need a shotgun that can carry 10 bullets instead of five? What is the practical purpose?

A: I am a libertarian and I don’t answer questions like that. My response to that is, why shouldn’t they have a shotgun that carries more than five rounds?

I'm amazed they don't just amend the law so that lever actions are treated the same way as pump actions. Labor would presumably support it and gun rights aren't a vote winner in this country anyway.

Because they desperately need crossbench support in order to execute the poor their policies.

Rentals are hilarious. After it having been brought up by my agent that volunteering to repaint my unit would be really helpful to my relationship with both agency and landlord, plus positive future referrals, they jacked up my rent because the property value rose once I repainted the bad rooms. :v:

I'm such a loving rube.

The same thing happened to some friends of mine when the did a heap of working fixing up the garden and yard.

Kill all rentseekers IMO.

A senior Victorian minister his come under fire for using his parliamentary car to chauffeur his pet dogs to his holiday house in the countryside.

The corrections minister, Steve Herbert, had his driver transport the dogs – named Ted and Patch – in his parliamentary car from Melbourne to the house in Trentham, 97km north-west of Melbourne. Herbert was not in the car while the Jack Russell terriers were transported.

My friend and colleague Bill Leak is to be summoned before the Human Rights Commission and made to answer for a cartoon depicting a drunken Aboriginal father who can’t remember the name of his delinquent son.

Leak, I hope, will get off - but not before he’s hauled through the wringer and made to answer charges that he’s a cold-blooded racist.

And for what? The idea at the heart of Leak’s cartoon - that parental neglect is a major problem within Aboriginal communities - is settled ground. Yet instead of debating its causes and possible solutions - a process that might actually yield some good - we are distracted by a foolish argument about whether Leak should have raised it at all.

The old using racism to defend racism argument. *kisses fingers* A classic!
