I mean who cares specifically about Kangaroos. They are almost a pest in Australia.

No worries. Australia has a bad habit of having the same named companies that are entirely unconnected (Target, Kmart, Burger King, Seaworld)

The Burger King one is particularly silly...

Sea World (Villiage Roadshow) has never had an Orca show. You might be mixing it up with the USA's SeaWorld. This is an Australian company with no affiliation with the USA one with a similar name.

What was the first reason?

What did Sea World do in the past? They don't exactly have much controversy.

Probably doesn't help that the Liberal party would seem left wing in comparison to the USA's right wing party.

That's when you find out if ASIO is any good I guess. Or I guess you technically never find out...

In an unrelated note, do you know how invasive ASIC can be? Their "proactive surveillance" is fun.

Basically any financial company is well aware of the level of scrutiny behind stuff like this, so I wouldn't be surprised to see another government agency being given similar controls/access. Probably the OIAC I guess considering they already do the mandatory data breach reporting stuff.

Just cutting in here to point out that cost of living can vary a lot even within the same country and wages can often reflect that. For example Sydney and Newcastle can have different pay rates for the same job, as Sydney is more expensive to live in. This is despite them being in the same state, having very similar demographics, and being just 2 hours drive apart.

Wage rates and bands will fluctuate a lot between locations and this is a good thing as it means that the take home pay can be comparable in buying power after taking COL into account.

This article is the equivalent of saying: "Watch out, if you press record it will record stuff". It's just about a live transcription feature for calls that you can use.
