Dear About Time editors,
Thanks again for the great content in the March 2025 issue. The poetry by Leslie at Ravenhall and Robert here at Wolston really stood out for me.
Also hearing an opinion of a proper Law Doctoral Scholar (Andreea Lachsz, pg.11) regarding prison labour and wages was salient. One thing to keep in mind (and is also relevant) is the unemployment or hygiene wages ($15 approximately). This amount has not changed in over 10 years despite inflation and cost of living.
If we are to be kept clean and tidy at our own expense, it should not be so hard to afford products needed.
Yours Sincerely,
Belly.
P.S. Question 10 in the Quiz (p.28) says Australian Flag = seven stars: How? I count six!

Thank you for picking that up, Belly! Yes, it appears we were wrong – the Australian flag indeed only has six stars. The big star is seven pointed – maybe that’s where we get confused! Thank you again!

I am writing to you about my one and only older sister, Alithea. RIP. It’s been 2 months since I lost you.
