I am a old Aussie and have always used the term Wanker, and I have never heard wankiest before but it does sum up that silly deconstructed iced coffee, it probably cost 30 bucks and you have to put it together yourself.
I’m hoping the supermarkets don’t catch on to the price difference for made for you or deconstructed because technically they sell deconstructed meals 😳😳 $96 for beans on toast anyone?
Thanks for the shout-out Ryan, the strike action was only for members of the retail and fast food workers union. A small percentage but fighting for the rights of all workers 😊

Hey Ryan just a couple of things that might help you 1. Pronounciation of Freddo a short e like in "bed". 2. For the referendum to pass it needs a yes vote over 50% overall but also in the majority of states. Thanks for your continued entertainment and please keep it going.
Gorgoues spider, they are the labradors of the spider world. But if you spook them, they run like greyhound, slip into tiny crevices or bolt under your bed 😱
It’s a deconstructed ice coffee. Espresso small cup. Chocolate ice cream in clear cup. Milk in jug. Beans to indicate source. Big spoon to stir together. Problem is where’s the large container to mix it together, such a wanky thing to do
We have pre poll voting, and we have no electronic voting. Everyone 18 and over MUST vote at a polling station in every town and city around the country either before or on the day. It's a bit crazy on the polling day.
Incorrect on 2 counts. Registering to vote is not compulsory. There are many Australians who have never registered. Once you have registered you must either lodge an absentee ballot or attend a polling place to have your name struck off the register. The ballots you receive must be placed in the respective boxes. You can place blank ballots into the box if you wish, making your vote informal.
@@kenchristie9214 No, it's compulsory. There is an out though, just be homeless. From the AEC - If you have never been enrolled, it is not compulsory to enrol if you do not have a fixed address. However, if you were enrolled prior to not having a fixed address, it is compulsory for you to maintain your enrolment.

Woolworths self checkout has installed cameras and they ask if you’ve emptied your trolley. I had stuff in mine that I’d purchased elsewhere, and it kept asking me if I’d emptied my trolley.

Starbound can't compete with any place that makes actual coffee. That's why a) they had trouble expanding to Australia, b) they bought out all the other shops when they opened, because they couldn't actually compete with them if they didn't.

Hunstmans can flatten down significantly because In the wild, huntsman spiders shelter and rest under the bark of gum trees. They do not use webs to entrap and ambush prey, but rather actively hunt at night. When they get into houses they often shelter behind pictures or other wall hangings. They sometimes shelter in the nooks and crannies of automobiles as well which is a real shock when they suddenly dart out when disturbed by driving!
The idea that 'boomers' are doing well is a fallacy. I'm a 49 year-old disabled man living with "boomer" elderly parents. Although they own their own home, they are not "making bank off the interest hike and spending huge amounts of money in the consumer economy". My mother has dementia and we live week to week, relying on our pensions to support ourselves. Our budget is stretched to breaking point by increases in electricity and other utilities, and day to day expenses. Neither my mother, who worked as a teacher for 45 + years, nor I have any superannuation left. I worked as a Fitter until my late 30's. Because most of the medications that I require aren't covered by the PBS, I'm spending over $400 - $450 a month on prescribed medications alone. I believe the real problems are company superprofits, the price-setting powers of major companies, exorbitant corporate salaries and administrative costs in bloated, inefficient, top-heavy organisations, and demands of shareholders in an economy that lacks fair competition. Larger mineral and resource companies receive tax concessions. The lack of industrial diversity also contributes to the impact of market shocks. When state and federal governments can afford to pay bureaucrats $1m salaries and cover their turgid individual expenses while funneling billions a year into flawed schemes like 'Robodebt', no one should be struggling.
I find it a little sad to see the koala in a residential area and not happily doing koala things in a safe tree somewhere. Hope he/she was relocated safely. ❤
At this time of the year koalas are often seen crossing roads on the search for a mate. This year I see a lot of banners in my area on the side of major roads or heavy treed areas to slow down. Also, clearing for developments is driving not only koalas out of their habitat. I have significantly more wallabies and kangaroos on my property this year than I have had in the last 30 years I live here.
The federal reserve Australia's central bank has already said Australia's unemployment rate needs to be 4.5%, think it's about 3.6% at the moment. Not sure about this sure someone will correct me, I heard in the US the home loan is on the property you can hand the keys in and walkway. In Australia the loan is on the person, so if you lose the property your still on the hook for the loan until the debt is payed off.
It just depends on the type of loan you get. You can get a personal/unsecured loan for a house purchase? OK. But for the average person in both countries, that will be a mortgage. There are slight differences in how things work, but basically the same. A mortgage is a legal agreement that conveys the conditional right of ownership on a real estate property by its owner (the mortgagor) to a lender (the mortgagee) as security for a home loan. I suppose if you somehow engaged in some sort of shenaniganry, they may come after you personally. But generally, if you fall behind on your payments, and don't rectify it by the date on the notice of default, then the lender may repossess the property and sell it in order to recover the debt.
I believe it was selected Woolies and Coles employees that went on strike this morning for a few hours. Hubby and I are voting in the referendum on Monday as we’re escaping next weekend - yaaay, no TV 😅
The huntsman spider is a safe spider. They're not poisonous and generally quite timid. But they're still a bit scary to come across just because they're a spider, and they're big.
We always vote with pencil and paper. No electronic voting problems here. The flatness of the huntsman is how it gets through the tiniest of cracks under doors and around windows. No matter how tight you close things up, those little buggers will show up in the most unexpected place and scare the bejeebers out of you.😂
Anything & everything is better than Starbucks ! Early voting for the referendum has been open for 1 week. Huntsman spiders are harmless & good to keep in the house for pest control. That poor koala has probably lost its home due to the urban sprawl & man destroying his habitat.

Hey Ryan. Shopped at my local Coles 2 weeks ago. More self checkouts every where. 2 staff to man all of the self serve checkouts AND look after the service desk. They were really under the pump. She said they cop shit from the customers. I said. It's management's fault. Not enough staff Appalling, unfortunately, the way of the future. 😢 P.s. They're Fred-0 frogs. We don't say Freedo, Fredo 👍
Yes the strike was as of 10AM Sat 7th Oct. And several states the people at major supermarkets were striking over pay level and work conditions. Not clear from newspaper that every store was involved but generally Coles, Woolworth and other chain stores mostly, at least, were impacted.
RYAN, Ryan, Ryan,.. don't go around the USA using the word "wanker" and all of it's derivatives so cavalierly, as we Aussies do, until you know it's meaning. A wanker is someone who likes to pleasure themselves by their own hand and suggests also someone who likes to pleasure themselves by acting trendy for the sake of getting the pleasure felt from admiration for their being ahead of the trend with the latest "thing'" or whatever to come along, whether it is the best, worst or mid. I've always thought that maybe the American term of " a jerk off " meant the same things, but I'm not too sure. Anyway, now you've been informed, you decide what you want to do with it. We certainly won't be offended.
I say hello to terry every day, he's a huntsman that lives in our mail box. (kids named him). they are that 'flat' normally, when they are walking around they can get up on their legs to be taller, but they like to live under tree bark etc, at home you will find them behind paintings and in door jambs. they go that flat so they can squeeze into small areas.
Please Ryan, it is Wool - worths, not Wools -worth. Also the employees are trying to get their wages raised to $29.00 per hour, well above the country's minimum wage.
Yes, the huntsman laying down is normal. They are relatively harmless though can kill you by scaring you to death lol. Those hair little buggers can run really fast and like to hang around the cornices of rooms. They will sit on the ceilings and make you think they are going to fall on you. If i get one in the house imusually name it Harold and let it be to do it's thing but if it comes down anywhere on the floor or near me, all bets are off!!!
7:45 the ballot paper is probably from a person doing a postal vote as my mother had to do it because she’s going across Europe, the end of October, when the vote is getting done.

6:46 in year 6 my class went to canberra and representitives from each side has a pile that is mixed with one vote or another and they have to sort it out into diffrent piles while someone from the other team watchs over their shoulder to make sure they are doing it right then they count and the person with (in the referendum) more than 50% is the winner ( this might only be for local or federal elections but i believe this is the way they do count them)
Why is everyone so scared of Huntsmen Spiders / Koalas?! They're HARMLESS. Hell most of the things that can kill you here, probably will only attack out of self defence. And that's including the snakes.
You can do early voting. Seniors and people who may be out of the country etc can vote early. Yes that is the actual voting form and they get counted by hand and checks by hand after the close of voting. Pensioners here in private rentals pay 50% + of their pensions. And Woolworth employees earn far more than pensioners. As prices go up and up living has to get mor and more basic.
The FREDDO chocolate is currently 4 Oct 2023, in the old style, and is on special at Woolworth for 50c ea in individual item offer. Did not look at the large pack bag price or appearance.

Yes, the quote from a former Prime Minister of Australia Paul Keating and John Howard; "the only poll that counts is the result of the one done on polling day". The Ballot you see on the screen is probably one for a postal ballot, or someone who works for the AEC. The vote is secret but the ballots are not. Everyone of voting age in Australia has the right and the privilege to vote. Not everyone likes to, but everyone has to.
Electoral polls are generally accurate in Australia because we have compulsory voting. The reason brexit happened is because the polls said it would not happen, most young people didn't go and vote. They took the remain vote for granted.
I am new to your channel, and i usually avoid 'reaction' videos, but I love the way that you do this and am binging on your videos .. Plus, it's super cool to find all these Aussie things in one place 😃🇦🇺😃 Probably a stupid question, but have you watched Steve Irwin?
Fun fact. Retail workers (including Cole’s and Woolworths) still get paid more than hospitality workers in Australia. And they are by far the hardest working and most abused. In 2016 I believe they actually cut penalty rates as well and the government hasn’t issued a national pay increase in over 20 years but the government top officials have increased theirs serval time in just the past few years
Pre poll has been open for a week. That photo looks like someone is in a booth in a pre poll location. No electronic voting, and votes are counted manually and would be check counted as well. I believe senate voting forms are ballot at some place.
Looks like coffee flavoured icecream a shot of black coffee jug of milk, coffee beans for decoration instructions on spoon, wankiest means pretentious. Standard iced coffee is scoop of vanilla icecream shot of coffee and milk
Because voting in Australia is compulsory for all enrolled voters over the age of 18, Australia operates pre poll voting allowing people who may be unable to vote on the actual day for one reason or another (work, leaving the country etc). It's not restricted to those who can't attend though, anyone can pre poll vote, so many people do it simply to try to avoid lining up on the day. That's how someone has a photo of a ballot already. As for the white pencils, who knows, your guess is as good as mine.
This is new trend popping up in Australia. It's called a 'Deconstructed Ice Coffee'. With Coffee espresso sphere in a glass and served with milk (warmed) and sugar syrup for sweetness this enables you serve coffee to your own taste, the beans on the other hand can be added for extra strength taste or as decoration!?
I have already voted by post, I applies for a ballot paper when they announced the referendum date. They sent me the form I filled it out and have sent it back. Pre poll centres have opened to give people a chance to vote if the cannot do so on the 14th. All voting in Australia is compulsory and you are fined if you don’t vote. At polling booths you get your name crossed off the roll when you arrive and you are handed your ballot paper ( what you do with it after that is up to the person!!) postal votes are put in an envelope and then placed in another envelope with your details on it - this is separated from your vote when the electoral commission receives it and you are recorded as having voted

But generally, if you fall behind on your payments, and don't rectify it by the date on the notice of default, then the lender may repossess the property and sell it in order to recover the debt.
Hi Ryan it is 5.08pm Saturday 7th Oct in Melbourne now!! Cheers Debra xxx
I believe it was selected Woolies and Coles employees that went on strike this morning for a few hours.
Hubby and I are voting in the referendum on Monday as we’re escaping next weekend - yaaay, no TV 😅
The huntsman spider is a safe spider. They're not poisonous and generally quite timid. But they're still a bit scary to come across just because they're a spider, and they're big.
Yes they aren't poisonous they are actually venomous but not really going to do much to anything bigger than a mouse
We always vote with pencil and paper. No electronic voting problems here.
The flatness of the huntsman is how it gets through the tiniest of cracks under doors and around windows. No matter how tight you close things up, those little buggers will show up in the most unexpected place and scare the bejeebers out of you.😂
Anything & everything is better than Starbucks ! Early voting for the referendum has been open for 1 week. Huntsman spiders are harmless & good to keep in the house for pest control. That poor koala has probably lost its home due to the urban sprawl & man destroying his habitat.
It's not us that is promiscuous, it's the backpackers😂😂😂😂 17:50
yeah , dunno where that info came from , the French & English always been ,most horney , mistresses etc , an we hand out free condoms ,teach tolerant sex ed ,Not in Stick figures
Congratulations
Ryan. Wise words.
Aussie’s do listen and learn.
Early voting started on either the 2nd or 3rd of October depending on which state you are in (I've already voted)
Hey Ryan. Shopped at my local Coles 2 weeks ago. More self checkouts every where. 2 staff to man all of the self serve checkouts AND look after the service desk. They were really under the pump. She said they cop shit from the customers. I said. It's management's fault. Not enough staff
Appalling, unfortunately, the way of the future. 😢
P.s. They're Fred-0 frogs. We don't say Freedo, Fredo 👍
You're lucky if you get two people working the self-service checkout where I live. Often have to wait and look for somebody to help🤔
Ryan, I’m living with a beautiful Huntsman right now. I’m happy he moved in because he can hunt all the nasty bugs for me!
I just spent a month in Australia. Yes they have Koala's and beaches....BUT.....YOU REALLY HAVE TO SEE THEIR PENCILS !!!!! lmao.
7:04 The early voting will begin on Monday 2 October in the following states and territories: Northern Territory
Tasmania
Victoria
Western Australia
Yes the strike was as of 10AM Sat 7th Oct. And several states the people at major supermarkets were striking over pay level and work conditions. Not clear from newspaper that every store was involved but generally Coles, Woolworth and other chain stores mostly, at least, were impacted.
That’s actually funny because I did an online order today and it was ready faster than usual. 2hrs!!!! Instead of 6 or so hours. Makes no sense😂
RYAN, Ryan, Ryan,.. don't go around the USA using the word "wanker" and all of it's derivatives so cavalierly, as we Aussies do, until you know it's meaning.
A wanker is someone who likes to pleasure themselves by their own hand and suggests also someone who likes to pleasure themselves by acting trendy for the sake of getting the pleasure felt from admiration for their being ahead of the trend with the latest "thing'" or whatever to come along, whether it is the best, worst or mid. I've always thought that maybe the American term of " a jerk off " meant the same things, but I'm not too sure.
Anyway, now you've been informed, you decide what you want to do with it. We certainly won't be offended.
What a fab explanation of a fab Aussie word… well done
I say hello to terry every day, he's a huntsman that lives in our mail box. (kids named him).
they are that 'flat' normally, when they are walking around they can get up on their legs to be taller, but they like to live under tree bark etc, at home you will find them behind paintings and in door jambs. they go that flat so they can squeeze into small areas.
The glasshouse mountains are in Queensland.
Please Ryan, it is Wool - worths, not Wools -worth. Also the employees are trying to get their wages raised to $29.00 per hour, well above the country's minimum wage.
I was told the other day that the guy doing shelves gets like $14/hour. I was horrified! Yes they must have a raise
Ryan knows how to pronounce it, he's just trolling us.
@@michellesmith6558isn't that illegal?
@@michellesmith6558 I don't think that's possible as the minimum wage is $23.23 per hour, strange number but it is what it is.
@@michellesmith6558that is close to what I got when I was 14-16 or so, not legal for anyone 18 or over
Yes, the huntsman laying down is normal. They are relatively harmless though can kill you by scaring you to death lol. Those hair little buggers can run really fast and like to hang around the cornices of rooms. They will sit on the ceilings and make you think they are going to fall on you. If i get one in the house imusually name it Harold and let it be to do it's thing but if it comes down anywhere on the floor or near me, all bets are off!!!
7:45 the ballot paper is probably from a person doing a postal vote as my mother had to do it because she’s going across Europe, the end of October, when the vote is getting done.
No it was taken at a pre poll booth when they went to pre poll vote. Recognise the pencil & cardboard booth. Voted this week myself.
Nope, not from a postal vote. It's definitely taken at the polling booth.
@@micheledix2616 she did a postal vote, I took it to the post and sent it off 😂
Don’t you know how they work?
@KayBX of course I know how a postal vote works I have had to do them numerous times myself in my 57 yrs of voting eligibility since 21 yrs old (.as was the voting age then in 1966
@@micheledix2616 so why tell me she didn’t why she didn’t do a POSTAL vote
She did it way before the pre-voting started ….. I SENT it off for her. As in mailed it back to them as she got mailed the ballot paper….
Saturday, 4.01pm, Perth time👍🙂
Watching Ryan is becoming my after work Saturday wind down 👍 (WA)
6:46 in year 6 my class went to canberra and representitives from each side has a pile that is mixed with one vote or another and they have to sort it out into diffrent piles while someone from the other team watchs over their shoulder to make sure they are doing it right then they count and the person with (in the referendum) more than 50% is the winner ( this might only be for local or federal elections but i believe this is the way they do count them)
Why is everyone so scared of Huntsmen Spiders / Koalas?!
They're HARMLESS. Hell most of the things that can kill you here, probably will only attack out of self defence. And that's including the snakes.
I think Americans are much worse off having to deal with bears.
The Koala was probably chased and that's why it's where it is. Time to call WIRES
Because we can vote early just like I did
Silly I told you before, it’s Fred. O . ballet papers were delivered by mail weeks ago.
You can do early voting. Seniors and people who may be out of the country etc can vote early. Yes that is the actual voting form and they get counted by hand and checks by hand after the close of voting.
Pensioners here in private rentals pay 50% + of their pensions. And Woolworth employees earn far more than pensioners. As prices go up and up living has to get mor and more basic.
Glass house mountain is located on the Sunshine Coast Brisbane a sub tropical area and where I live 😊
Deconstructed iced coffee now? 😂😂😂 As my old boss would say, using the noun form, what a load of w*nk.
The FREDDO chocolate is currently 4 Oct 2023, in the old style, and is on special at Woolworth for 50c ea in individual item offer. Did not look at the large pack bag price or appearance.
What's up Ryan, happy Saturday Arvo! 😃👍 By the way, it's the 60th Anniversary of the Bathurst 1000 tomorrow! 🎉🥳 Another example of real Australian endurance, never quit and have a go mentality! 😂 Yes, we have Ikea! 😄 I need CPR, just don't touch me! 😵 Self checkouts are stealing our jobs, let's strike like the USA! 😏 Ballot, exactly how much was the cost of that complete waste of paper and our precious time? 😠 A quiet recession, hmm back to real cooking and staying at home and preserving seasonal foods then, no worries! 😟 Strike action, on my I can't believe I've run out of butter day! Just get real jobs! 🤯 Inflation, that's when the real financially competent leader's tell their people to stop spending so much or face a rate hike - or not! 🤨 Who's promiscuous?, isn't that actually England? 😎💃😍
Referendums are ridiculous now days given how hard it is for the average person to understand legislation.
@@Hurricayne92 According to the latest Albo quote to a group of Muslim migrants, you must Vote Yes because it's kind - condescending at all? And it's costing us millions of taxpayer funds which are needed for real issues! 🤨
The voice to parliament referendum will not get passed
All of my Aboriginal friends are against it. Calling it "white guilt". I heard PM saying he would pass it no matter what
Correct, way too many racist sheep who believe whatever shit sky tells them lol
Hopefully you are correct, but just as in same sex marriage, there are loads of shenanigans going on
@@vtbn53 BS most people in australia are not homophobic nor racist. But people like you keep hoping that one day the majority will be both of those things again.
@@lillibitjohnson7293 What part of my comment was either anti-homosexual or racist? I am only against lefturds like you and I will stand to that until I'm dead. Oh and by the why you are a liar regarding what most people are.
Great to hear someone actual say what needs to be said. Making people poor IS the goal in order to reduce demand.
Thank you Jocelyn! Happy arvo! Ryan
Housing prices are still going up despite interest rate rises, plus there's only a 1.1% vacancy rate on rental properties across Australia. Petrol/gas sitting at around $2.00 AUD a litre at the moment and not expected to go down much until the new year.
You have been able to vote early since Monday. I have already been.
Yes we do have IKEA in Australia.
Yes, we saw your post on the 7th. The day of the strike.🎉😂
How many of you had ads promoting shopping online at Woolies when watching this? Couldn't help laughing at the irony. Yeah, shop online because we treat our store staff so poorly they have to strike to be heard.
I had a coffee ad😂
Stop saying "WOOLSWORTH"! It's "WOOL_WORTHS". Jesus, Cobber!
,😂😂😂mate give it up. To Ryan it will always be WOOLSWORTH. He's said it so many times I think he now actually sees an "S" in the middle when there's none 😂🤣🤣🤪
Oh leave Ryan alone, I love listening to his pronunciations 😂
It'll always be "Woollies".
I've watched for a while now you just don't get irony❤
Nice video!
We always go to prevoting as it is so busy on voting day
Let's just say we are 14hours ahead of you today is Saturday our time
11 hours ahead if one is in WA ie Western Australia.
Yes, the quote from a former Prime Minister of Australia Paul Keating and John Howard; "the only poll that counts is the result of the one done on polling day".
The Ballot you see on the screen is probably one for a postal ballot, or someone who works for the AEC. The vote is secret but the ballots are not. Everyone of voting age in Australia has the right and the privilege to vote. Not everyone likes to, but everyone has to.
Damn we beat Brazil. That's an achievement.
Hi Ryan. Love your take on all things Ozzy. Your laughter puts a smile on my face as you try to work things out. Ric. 🦘🇭🇲😎
Deconstructed iced coffee 😂 you should check out the deconstructed Vegemite on toast that made the news a few years back. Just as wanky 😂
Freddo now is like Han Solo in carbonite
Electoral polls are generally accurate in Australia because we have compulsory voting. The reason brexit happened is because the polls said it would not happen, most young people didn't go and vote. They took the remain vote for granted.
Ironically Coles paid for their cost cutting measures in reducing checkout staff. Higher pilfering losses. No surprises there.
I hate self checkouts,I’m still old.
That's how huntsmans get into locked cars, houses, sheds etc. They can lay really flat and just squeeze through the smallest gap.
G'day Ryan-o! It's not Freed-o mate it's Fred-o!😂
It’s not Creg in Oz it’s Crayg.
I am new to your channel, and i usually avoid 'reaction' videos, but I love the way that you do this and am binging on your videos .. Plus, it's super cool to find all these Aussie things in one place 😃🇦🇺😃
Probably a stupid question, but have you watched Steve Irwin?
I make a cold iced coffee. Coffee, chocolate powder, chocolate ice cream, milk, and them put it on my milkshake machine. Wonderful.
Fun fact. Retail workers (including Cole’s and Woolworths) still get paid more than hospitality workers in Australia. And they are by far the hardest working and most abused.
In 2016 I believe they actually cut penalty rates as well and the government hasn’t issued a national pay increase in over 20 years but the government top officials have increased theirs serval time in just the past few years
Yep still the 7th here! Also FYI your video is being interrupted with Woolies ads 😂😂
Pre poll has been open for a week. That photo looks like someone is in a booth in a pre poll location. No electronic voting, and votes are counted manually and would be check counted as well. I believe senate voting forms are ballot at some place.
Looks like coffee flavoured icecream a shot of black coffee jug of milk, coffee beans for decoration instructions on spoon, wankiest means pretentious. Standard iced coffee is scoop of vanilla icecream shot of coffee and milk
It’s easier if you say Woolies rather than Wools Worths.
Woolworths
I can remember a time when all recording devices were banned from concerts.
I guess they just gave up that possibility when smart phones arrived.
Because voting in Australia is compulsory for all enrolled voters over the age of 18, Australia operates pre poll voting allowing people who may be unable to vote on the actual day for one reason or another (work, leaving the country etc). It's not restricted to those who can't attend though, anyone can pre poll vote, so many people do it simply to try to avoid lining up on the day. That's how someone has a photo of a ballot already. As for the white pencils, who knows, your guess is as good as mine.
Voting is NOT compulsory, having your name checked off at anyone of the many ways to vote is.
@@vtbn53 yeah ok Don Key, go ahead and be that person then.
The pencils aren’t white, they’re just unpainted natural wood.
@@SueVeitch-nu1vs them not being painted white doesn’t make them not white, painted white or natural white wood, they’re still white…
@@abscott88 The reason they're white is they are recycled paper, not wood.
Pre polling for two weeks prior is the main reason for someone voting. There are other smaller cohorts ie protected electors.
Hi ya!
It's not freedo like freedom, it's a freddo frog.. like the name Fred. Love ya work
This is new trend popping up in Australia. It's called a 'Deconstructed Ice Coffee'. With Coffee espresso sphere in a glass and served with milk (warmed) and sugar syrup for sweetness this enables you serve coffee to your own taste, the beans on the other hand can be added for extra strength taste or as decoration!?
I have already voted by post, I applies for a ballot paper when they announced the referendum date. They sent me the form I filled it out and have sent it back. Pre poll centres have opened to give people a chance to vote if the cannot do so on the 14th. All voting in Australia is compulsory and you are fined if you don’t vote. At polling booths you get your name crossed off the roll when you arrive and you are handed your ballot paper ( what you do with it after that is up to the person!!) postal votes are put in an envelope and then placed in another envelope with your details on it - this is separated from your vote when the electoral commission receives it and you are recorded as having voted
Without doing even a minimum of research I just know that iced coffee has come from a cafe in Collingwood or Brunswick.
I'm an iced coffee drinker but I'm sure that's not quite right.
Pre-polling is very popular!
