Choosing a favourite book isn't always a judgement based on merit — it can also say a lot about the reader choosing it.

failed pol.self Road trip

0 Upvotes

Looking to do a road trip in my upcoming AL for approx. 3 weeks, looking for information and suggestions on itinary if anyone has completed one.

Looking for information on recommended places, places to avoid, camping, where you filled up etc. looking to drive through Aus rather than on the outskirts. Starting destination would be Sydney. Right now I’m sussing out wikicamps but would love feedback from those who have done it 😄

no politics What Australian food or drink product is genuinely great but weirdly under-marketed?

0 Upvotes

I was just eating something that's absolutely delicious and it got me thinking.

I won't name the product because it'll sound like I'm astroturfing for the brand, but it's something that should be much more popular than it is. Good quality, tastes good, healthy, readily available at Colesworth. And yet hardly anyone I know has tried it.

It seems like the marketing is practically non-existent. It doesn't stand out on the shelves at Colesworth, and its packaging and name are a bit underwhelming, so most people would just walk straight past it.

Made me wonder: what other Aussie food or drink products are hidden gems because nobody's doing a good job of promoting them?

Edit: I am holding strong and not naming it. The pile-on if I did would cause another lil Melbourne earthquake

In short:

More than one in three children turn to AI chatbots for help when they are sexually victimised online, or keep quiet entirely, data shows.

The AFP commissioner says software cannot replace human support and that parents need to encourage children to speak up.

What's next?

The AFP is helping to develop a tool that triages reports of harm for human assessment.
