Family background from Wikipedia: Anthony Norman Albanese was born on 2 March 1963 at St Margaret's Hospital in the Sydney suburb of Darlinghurst.[7][8] He is the son of Carlo Albanese and Maryanne Ellery[9] (1936–2002).[10][11] His mother was Australian, while his father was from Barletta in Italy. They met in March 1962 on a passenger ship from Sydney to Southampton, England, where his father was working as a steward. After she fell pregnant, he told her he was engaged to a woman in Italy and could not marry her. His mother returned to Sydney in October 1962 and the two did not remain in contact.[12][13][14] Albanese's mother adopted Carlo's surname, and named Anthony after his cousin Anthony Howett, who had died in a car accident four years earlier.

Staff culled to be replaced by AI or offshore should be paid 12 months salary on termination. The banks are making record profits, as are many other employers going down this path. When I was retrenched from Westpac, it was computerisation in branches which resulted in the closure of the processing centre I managed. Jobs were near impossible to find as other banks were doing likewise at the same time. One branch manager from my district who was retrenched because his branch was closed (the CBAL/BNSW merger resulted in two branches in the one suburb), spent all his money at the RSL, drinking himself to death.

How they fix potholes in our neck of the woods. Bitumen in the hole, but not level with the road. A bit of rain and they will fill with water and crumble again.

Here is a summary of a number of polls taken over the last month or so, pollsters named. Click to enlarge.

I see the latest poll has Coalition at 33$, Labor at 24% and ON at 20%. Two party preferred has the Coalition with a lead over Labor of 55-45.

Nev, you are as welded on as Maggots are to Trump.

It's an English show, so I'm guessing Union. The preceding sentence to the quote was "30 men constantly crashing into each other." It was said while the police were investigating the death of a player. Personally, I don't know much about either, and I don't really enjoy watching it.

Why do the English pronounce the U sound (as in cut, gut, etc.) like 'oo' in book? Mum become "Moom", run becomes "roon", sun becomes "soon", even come becomes "coom".

A credit to Epstein. He got a lot of people reading.

Trinidadian rapper, singer, and songwriter, Nicki Minaj, a long time supporter of Trump, says she will be his next White House Press Secretary, to replace the last one who quit after 5 days in the job.

Rugby is not a sport, it's a brawl with goal posts. A quote from Midsomer Murders.

Right, Marty.
