‘Pretty amazing that Australia didn’t have a single woman in parliament until 1995.’ Explains why they were late to open their immigration floodgates.

And the whole point of all that microtext that nobody is ever going to read is what,exactly?

Microprint of various sorts is an anticounterfeiting element. The microprint is extremely difficult to produce without very specialized equipment, but easy to read with a simple hand lens.

I believe the only solution is for them to send all 46 million of these $50 (Aussie pound?) notes to me and they can start over.

I will try to spend them response-so-bility in various places, boosting several economies and of course, empowering something or such.
