Re self-serve checkouts.
Have a friend whose 30-ish daughter is very much a “bring down da Man” type.
Her favourite trick is to go into Coles or Woolies when they’re very busy, and buy a kilo of smoked salmon or prawns or both from the deli. At the self-serve checkout, instead of scanning the barcode, she drops them on the scales and enters them as “carrots” or “potatoes”. She point blank refuses to concede she’s doing anything wrong.

re Indi;
the 2019 results were fairly close but not 2022.
The area from Baranduda to Beechworth including Yackandandah & the Indigo Valley area are heavily into Green philosophy and becoming more so with growth of that demographic.
It is highly probable that Bill Tilley will lose his seat of Benambra to another “Independent” who did well in 2018 and is standing again. -

The ABC is having a gloat about the judge’s ruling in Victoria that the father of the deceased choirboy can sue the Catholic Church – over an offence that, according to the High Court, could not have happened.
No surprise that the judge in question turns out to have a union background:

And of course the timing of the case has nothing to do with the approach of Victorian election!
