The news in Australia is weird...it's actually news and informative. 
Nice change. Minimum wage is $15.17 but housing is not cheap.
I was driving down the road with my Aussie visitor one night when he pointed at the sky and asked, "Is that the North Star, pinboy?"
I looked where he was pointing and then took a couple of beats before answering.
"No, Warwick," I told him. "That's the North Cessna."
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
