Tried google maps but says 'no results'.
Someone told me once there was a 'Big Als' in the centre of town, but apparently that's not quite what am after.
Please help ta thanks.

Legit: Labor needs to get better phrases than 'the big end of town' and 'Ivory towers'.
85% of Lib pollies need to just stop talking altogether.
Follow the trail of brown paper bags, that should lead you there.

Dr Karl selling out to the Conservatives by spruiking their Intergenerational Report which looks like it was written in the late 18th century rather that in the last five years.
For a bloke that is scientifically trained he's certainly dropped the ball getting involved with this shit. The report is 99% ideology and the remaining one per cent a combination of AIDS and syphilis.
Anyone else been following those new laws in America. A few states most notably Indiana (?) have passed laws essentially making it legal to discriminate on the basis of religion.
Most high profile case so far was a pizza joint owner who (when interviewed) said she wouldn't cater a gay wedding. Mind you it was only a hypothetical question no one had actually asked her to cater a gay wedding.
This was met by the usual calls of bigotry and redneck but then the gay sympathisers went after the pizza joint big time, essentially forcing it to close its doors, because the owner had death threats.
But then some more citizens who hated the bully getting bullied then set up a kickstarter type fund to get them back in business and raised over $450,000 for the family.
Questions: sp who is in the right and who is in the wrong here?
Personally I think everyone comes off as kind of shitty from pollies making the laws, to people hiding behind religion, to people threatening people for having those religious views.
For more detail search 'Memories Pizza' (I've condensed it a lot).
Thoughts?
Edit: oh dear god I've just found out it's the subject of a Tim Blair article in the Telegraph today.
prob don't read Tim Blairs take on it.
The ability to segregate the market and discriminate between agents is the very foundation of the capitalist system.
Remove the ability to discriminate and the system collapses.
The oligarchs instruct the pollies to start a conflict between the other groups and then simply sit back and watch them fight over the crumbs.

Pareto Optimal conditions state that a distribution of wealth such that any redistribution or other change beneficial to one individual is detrimental to one or more others.
If you believe that you know what the Pareto Optimal conditions are and how to optain them then you would allow racism.
If you do not know what the Pareto Optimal conditions are then you would legislate against them and accept what is referred to as a Theory of 2nd Best.
I'm pretty sure that the Pareto Optimal conditions are neither known or achievable so I'm all for legislation to rid the system of discrimination based on race, religion, and so on.
Penalty Rates. All this hoopla is why the minimum wage needs to be scrapped.
Keep the penalty rates but scrap the minimum wage.
Complete and utter bullshit from business on penalty rates.
You want to open on public holidays to cater for customers and line your pockets with silver then pay your staff appropriately to compensate them for their sacrifice of giving up their public holiday
If you ain't making enough money to cover it then charge the customer more to compensate. They want the goods and services on a public holiday then they should pay the premium price for it.
If it don't add up then shut your doors and have the day off like every other **** cause that is what it is a Public Holiday
ARROGANT ****S
