In my 20 years in Australia I’ve been called up 4 times and been on a jury twice. Both trials were a mandatory life sentence if a guilty verdict was found. I have to say that I learnt a lot from the experience. I’d gladly do it again.

The two juries were both on the same 3 week period. We had just finished the first trial and got called in again for selection the next day, and were empanelled again within hours. Half the jury on my second trial had been in the first, so we were seasoned veterans by that point.

Yes, you need a current licence for a firearm matching the ammunition being purchased to legally purchase ammunition. The black market rate on even low calibre ammunition is rather prohibitive.

There’s a whole chain of checks and balances to acquire a firearm licence including gun club membership and a sponsor, and therefore get access to ammunition.

If you need confirmation of species, I suggest contacting some east coast resident experts: Dr Tobias Smith or Dr Tim Heard. I’ve crossed paths with them both a few times at ANBA events and they know their stuff. I can provide contact details for them if Google comes up short.

The word “homeowner” was mentioned a few times early in the article and then never heard from again.

Some data for the unlucky amongst us would have been appreciated.

Oh don’t blame Queensland too much. I know plenty of people here who will cringe from this.

Hmmmm:

From 1 March 2029, only e-bikes meeting the European standard will be road legal in NSW, with the three-year period reflecting the typical lifespan of an e-bike, providing those who purchased an e-bike legally- and those who sell them- time to adjust to the new rules.

I dunno what these people are doing to get only 3 years out of a bike.

"Australian Defence Force full-time personnel levels have had their biggest single-year increase in 15 years.

The government attributes the success to targeted career advertising on social media and in online games."

Headline is a bit misleading, should really have had “Advertising in” at the start.

I’ve been using vikunja that way for a month or so now.

The recorded high temperature in Coatzacoalcos for June 2023 was 39C on June 11. Someone in the local paper decided to play with “feels like” numbers.
