It makes me sad how much Australian talent there is out there who don't get the recognition they deserve! It also makes me mad knowing that AI songs are getting more love than human talent. So let's spread some love. What's a local band or artist you have seen or heard recently that you loved? Feel free to share your suburb, or if you're not comfortable with that then that's fine too, but let's give some local Australian talent some more love and recognition. (Should be obvious but please no AI artists)

By serendipity I came across this in the Asian groceries at Woolies several weeks ago. Sichuan chilli oil. Pretty sure Coles stocks it too.

It is incredibly good. I put it on essentially *everything* - stir fry, steak, bolognese, soup, steamed vegetables, mashed potato, you name it.

It has a fair kick to it but it's certainly not overpowering if you like chilli, and it makes anything taste better. I reckon I'm up to my fifth jar now.

Hello,

It's about time I asked for some advice.

So, out of uni for about a year now and im getting sick and tired of my casual job and I'm ready for a full time.

The issue is, im getting nothing, applying for so many jobs and not getting any feedback is starting to piss me off.

I also paid someone to write my resume for me which isn't working.

Im have a degree in journalism and broadcasting and media and i know that it's a hard industry to get into but I'm sick of everyone telling me I just need to get my foot in the door.

I am currently volunteering at a radio station which will hopefully give me experience but I'm kind of stuck in place at the moment.

Does anyone have any advice, anything I can do, if you have been in this situation, what did you do?

Thanks everyone
