- Should names for slaughtered meat and poultry products established by common usage (e.g., Pork Loin), statute, or regulation be included in the names or standards of identity of such products derived from cultured animal cells?
a. If so, is additional qualifying language necessary? What qualifying terms or phrases would be appropriate?
b. Do these names, with or without qualifying language, clearly distinguish foods comprised of or containing cultured animal cells from slaughtered products?
- Should terms that specify the form of meat or poultry products (such as “fillet”, “patty”, or “steak”) be allowed to be included in or to accompany the name or standard of identity of foods comprised of or containing cultured animal cells?
a. Under what circumstances should these terms be used?
b. What information would these terms convey to consumers?

Australian TVs use PAL as the broadcast encoding standard - although it's somewhat complicated, this means some old TVs only refresh at 25hz or intervals thereof. To display 24fps content, Binge chooses the laziest method: displaying 24 frames of video across 25fps, thereby speeding up the playback by 4%, and then lowering the pitch slightly to compensate.
To explain this even more basically: in America, 4 seconds of the show will show 96 frames, in Australia you will see 100 frames. 100/96 = 1.04166 = ~4.17% sped up.
This is true for all 24fps content on Binge, not just Succession, and can be easily proven by pulling up a YouTube video of a scene, say the bottle throwing scene in S2E4, and comparing it to Binge, which should finish a solid 10 seconds or so earlier.
This means a 60 minute episode of Succession is 2 and a half minutes shorter, and although you can't really tell if you're absorbed in the show, a side by side comparison shows a noticeable difference in tempo with jokes, characters movements etc. This has always been the case, so if you've watched the show on Binge you've not seen the same tempo of the acting and jokes as others here.
There is no legal alternative to this, but I thought I would share so people are aware! Do with this info what you please 😊
What questions do they ask, how often do they see you, do they weigh you, give us all the goss.
Currently almost 22 weeks and questioning the quality of my current private care.
It was a chicken coup.
Edit: I was wondering why a lot of Australians started off their posts pretty angry / adversarial, and then I realized what I had put in my title. To clarify, I'm just saying by American standards and in the American media the lockdown rules in Australia seem crazy. Not saying they actually might be crazy.
Lockdown has given me plenty (too much) time to sit around and watch more TV, and god forbid - free to air TV.
I can think of a handful of series and movies made in Australia that I love, but I feel like across the board the standard just isn't there, or at least, the high-quality content is rarely given the platform to be appreciated properly.
Do you cringe at local content? What do you think we do better than Hollywood? When do you think we excel and when do you think we do really poorly?
EDIT:
If anyone knows who it would be appropriate to query about this issue (or bring it to their attention) in order to prevent it all from reoccurring, please let us all know in the comments!
Apparently one can get AS/NZ standards cheaper than from SAI Global and the like, whilst also keeping the Kiwi government solvent: https://www.standards.govt.nz/get-standards/

Is it just me, or is this a significant hinderance to others as well?
Why must we pay an extortionate amount in order to be better informed and work within Australian Standards?
Do government/industry really prefer that individuals and small business just wing it instead?
It's great to see 'right to repair' starting to get a little bit of attention. Perhaps we should also consider 'right to our national regulatory standards' too.

>The net royalty share between SAI Global and Standards Australia – after costs incurred by SAI Global – is understood in most cases to be: 90% to SAI Global (the distributor) and 10% to Standards Australia (the creator and owner of the product).
>
>Standards Australia’s finance report for FY 2017 states that its revenue from sale of Standards (Royalties) was $6.892 Million.

>Based on these figures SAI Global’s FY17 profit share – after any costs they claimed – will have been around $60+M.

I'm dredging it up because it is an issue that needs to remain in the public awareness before another questionable deal gets done over the rights for these standards. It boggles my mind that none of us can access our legally referenced Austra

I know a fair number of folks in Australia were disappointed at the price of the game. I believe the Humble Store has an issue with regional pricing. The standard edition is $99AUD or is $81.96 with the humble choice discount. The Digital Deluxe Edition is $87.26 on standard pricing or $71.55 with the humble choice discount.
The game is normally $99 on the steam store so the standard edition looks RRP but I cannot point to why the deluxe is cheaper given it is $120 on steam.
Australia is getting gouged on this release with the regional pricing so here is your opportunity to get around that.
I’m interested in getting an Australian Shepard puppy soon but can’t decide whether to get a standard or mini Aussie Shepard. I know generally size is the main difference but curious to hear other peoples opinions or thoughts.
But I just realized I only have to quit cold turkey
