Netflix password crackdown has actually caused a growth in Subscriptions
I'm not surprised. The number of people sharing accounts who now need their own was always likely to be greater than the number who were going to cancel. They only had to convert a fraction of the non-subdividing viewers for it to work out in their favour. I think they'll find they have less viewers now, though.
The approach of tacitly allowing account sharing to build viewership then cracking down on it to boost revenue is smart enough as a business strategy. It signals what most of these companies will do when it comes time to really monetise.
I worry for the future of the internet when YouTube and Google really kick off. It's going to be a subscription hellscape (it is already, but it's going to be so much worse).

Victoria bans gas connections in new homes from 2024
Other states will follow suit, I think the ACT already requires new builds to be 'gasless', or, at least, they aren't building the gas infrastructure into new suburbs.
I'd love to get rid of gas. I think an induction cooktop is possible and would be beneficial, but the hot water might be a bit more difficult. The daily connection fee is annoying so I'd like to cut it out entirely rather than just reduce it.

in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on
So what they do is take your tax and apportion it over by the Expense and Net Captial Investment Statement in Budget Paper 1 (usually Statement 6).
It's dead simple to do and really helps communicate where your money is going in general terms.
It was a Joe Hockey initiative.

Yeah, right? OP needs to change the formatting on the second last column and the last column looks like a monthly payment expressed as a % of annual income?

Meanwhile, in Canada...
There's a pack (flock?) of these in my town that invade people's backyards. Pretty cool but they are a bit of a menace and apparently louder than you'd expect
