>who makes the best sausage roll This is definitely a thing. I don't think OP was really looking for the opinions of food critics, or…

I'm not arguing about anything, just trying to understand what you are taking issue with. OP seems to have a deep fondness for Banh Mi…

I don't think anyone is arguing about the literal meaning of the words? But clearly, to many people, a Banh Mi is significantly different…

All I know is I'll take Banh Mi over a ham sandwich any day. We may have different expectations of what is involved in a ham sandwich.

Yes I think this is correct, the super contributions will still be treated as income for Child Care Subsidy purposes so there should be no…

Canberra Day as well

So what is your theory on her popularity if indeed there is nothing about her that stands out? Media conspiracy or something else?…

Ok, so you don't like her so it must be all a media conspiracy? Not sure if you're aware but different people can like different things.…
