Uber Tipping - here we go...

Just got an email from Uber, “now you can give more than compliments”, and yup, turns out they’re adding tipping to the app. In Australia.

Can we not have this particular shitty part of American culture encroach into our way of life? Please? Won’t be long before we have certain kinds of drivers rating you down unless you tip them as well like already happens with some seppos.

That two former prime ministers, John Howard and Tony Abbott, defend George Pell , a convicted predatory paedophile, and trash his victims, is a national disgrace . Do not forgive them.

Which advertisers sponsor/support Bolt and Devine?

Is there a list of companies that advertise or support Bolt and Devine? I don't want my money going to advertisers that support child rape apologists.

I don't really want to listen, read or watch them in order to make a list. I'm hoping there is a less anger-inducing way to find out their advertisers and other financial supporters.
