Music teacher here. I want to teach my kids about composing, but rather than jumping head first into the daunting world of composing entire songs, I thought I might start with advertising jingles. Australia's got some of the best ads out there, so what are they? Let me know, along with where I might be able to find recordings (sheet music would be even better). Keep in mind, I'm specifically after advertising jingles, not songs that were written separately (looking at you, QANTAS) or parodies of earlier songs (yes, I know it's a big ad, but it's still Carmina Burana).
So far I have:
- Louis the Fly (Mortein)
- The Reading Writing Hotline
- Happy Little Vegemites
- Amalgamated Pest Control
- C'mon Aussie C'mon
- I Love Aeroplane Jelly

TL;DR why do online syndicates of, e.g. a System 18 ticket (no idea on actual price, just an example) costing ~$12,000 split across 400 people, coming to only $30 a share, not exist (at least that I could find, anyway).
I was in a discussion recently about joining a managed syndicate through some online reseller, preferably a large System <N> entry to maximise chances of winning something, but it seems that System 18 online syndicates don't exist. Even for the syndicates that do exist, they're limit to a fairly low number of shares, so someone with say a small budget of $30 who wants to roll the dice (but let's be honest, throw away a small amount of $) is stuck with the option of joining a syndicate of the lower chance tickets, like a large number of random games, as even say System 11. A commonly stated reason is so that when people win, they still win a reasonably sized jackpot.
Is there some legal reason for such an option not existing? Or is it purely a business decision, where the lottery resellers have found that their target market (of gamblers, to varying degrees) aren't interested in having a much higher relative chance (while still being miniscule) of winning a small prize, vs. having virtually no chance of winning a large jackpot amount?
E.g. if we theoretically had a ~$12,000 ticket split across 400 people that would cost them $30 each, and that particular ticket won $12,000,000, each winner would end up with "only" $30,000, which is a very decent amount of money if used well.

Hey guys I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but my partner is struggling finding a job. She tries her heart out but living in the sunshine coast has a lack of job opportunities.
Now my question is, her parents will not do their tax return so centre link has cut off her $97 a fortnight payments. Yes $97. She does not get along with her family and she moved here from Perth to be away from them.
Centre link refuses to give her the payments unless the tax is done and it will not happen. She's 21 years old so she still gets paid as a youth by centre link. If anyone here has had a similar experience to this and knows how to get the payments back on or to get centre link to see her as an adult. Please help us.
Edit. I don't know if this adds anything but she has very high anxiety and depression and is seeing a psych weekly.

I'm trying to get my 7 month old daughter her Australian passport.
Apparently, neither the passport nor full birth certificate of her Australian father will suffice as proof of her citizenship. Is this for real?
I'm aware of the changes that came in around '86. But I don't see how they're applicable (in principle) because of this one point: Why did they issue me two consecutive Australian passports over the last two decades if they weren't confident of my citizenship status?
Am I missing something?
(Unrelated aside - We're also sorting out her German passport preemptively because we want her to have actual documentation in-hand ASAP on account of the volatility in the world now and in the decades to come. But how's this - they want her height... for a 7 month old... fantastic...!)
