Breakfast is the most unnecessary meal of the day lets be real.

I had you marked as a avo/feta on soudough sort of person

I consume blitz for lunch and blitz for dinner. I wash it down with a scotch before bed.

Because a volunteer workforce is not available in every location.

Dunno who this cartoonist is, but that and others I’ve seen of theirs look nothing at all like PD.

my sister is a teachers and she encourages kids to do their own lunches, as it creates independence.

but I think only a small portion of kids do in primary school.

[Soulnet]

I agree. It should be income based.

Should low-income Australians pay a smaller traffic fine? The call to...

[alex.f.94]

I’m not sure if I’m a fan of reducing the amount, but increased flexibility on payment is logical.

My goodness

[Aceman]

Do the right thing, obey the laws and no one has to pay a cent.
The new mobile phone detection cameras in Adelaide gave everyone a 6 month grace period where all fines were waived. All are fixed locations and signposted so everyone knows where they are and yet still 2500 fined in the first week since the grace period ended

[percebushby]

You need glasses ? Or are you just a fan of Mutton ?

[Soulnet]

At some point though the income you earn means you couldn’t care less about the fines. I’ve seen many people shop their demerit points so that others can take the points for a financial bonus.

[CyberBomber]

Aint no fan, thank you. Just doesn’t look like him. Looks more like Kerry Packer.

[em2009]

Is it too simplistic to just suggest people don’t speed. Especially if you can’t afford the fine. Surely it’s something all of us who drive can some kind of control over.

@Soulnet

If there’s a higher rate of offending in high income groups, then could be justified. Not sure if that’s the case though.

[Soulnet]

You know the tax office can fine you based on income?

Here you go

@bigallan

Look on it as preventive. Children in poor health because of inadequate nutrition cannot maximise the education services available to them, they grow up unhealthy and poorly educated, a cost to the taxpayer in future years.

Yes, if you can’t have any compassion in your tiny conservative, probably private school educated thus funded by taxpayer bubble, think about it this way. Christ, usual lucky country suspects are so predictable. This is not addressing you BA

@Soulnet

We subsidise lots of lunches already. We’re just adding kids.

The free lunch is an institution for the upper echelon

I may be wrong on this but I think they introduced it in some euro countries, parking fines also, because rich people didn’t give a fark about petty fines and would do as they pleased. Lambo on the footpath on a major street, no wuks, Lambo doing 200 up the Hume etc

[em2009]

Doesn’t really answer my question about personal accountability.
