It's a weird time in Australia. The country's on fire, people are being openly discriminated against in job listings and our famous bookstores are being turned into pick-up artist hunting grounds. That being said, it's pretty weird in NZ too with teachers attacking students over moustaches.
Normally on this strange show about strange people, we'd have a Patron-exclusive question. This week I've decided to keep that in for everyone to... enjoy? It's hard to figure out whether or not it's a gift or a curse for you considering it involves a pretty horrendous rendition of an NZ accent.

Australia Post job application discourages 'over-entitled millennials'
Special thank you to Sam our Producer Patron for sending this one to me!
An employer has defended a job advertisement discouraging "over-entitled millennials" after Seek forced her to remove the statement as it allegedly breached age discrimination requirements.
Among common qualities such as being well-presented, eager to learn and proficiency with a computer, the listing stated: "unfortunately, the successful applicant will not be an over entitled millennial with an inflated sense of entitlement."
The licensee of the Warilla Licensed Post Office, Angela Cramp, says the statement wasn't a joke.

Pick up artists target Australia's largest bookstore to give clients 'practical experience'
Kinokuniya bookstore in Sydney has issued an open letter to customers after a “dating coaching company” was found to be using the store to give clients “practical experience” for their pick-up techniques.
“It has come to our attention that a dating coaching company has been using our store to give their clients practical experience, much to our dismay,” the apology began.
“We apologize to any of our customers who have been approached in the store or had the negative experience of someone trying “pick-up” techniques with them.”
Kinokuniya has confirmed that they have contacted the pick-up artist company in question and have asked them not to return to the premises, making it abundantly clear to any of these “coaching” companies that they are not welcome in the store.

New Zealand teach punches student for teasing his 'pedo moustache'
A New Zealand teacher has been charged with punching a student in the face after the 13-year-old said he had a "moustache like a pedo would".
The unnamed male teacher was playing touch football while the student watched from the sideline. A statement from New Zealand’s Teaching Council this week revealed that as “Teacher K” came off the field “Student B” accused him of having a pedo moustache. Teacher K then approached the student and asked him if he wanted a smack in the face—to which the student replied, “yes, right here” and pointed at his cheek.
“Teacher K then punched Student B once with a closed fist,” the statement reads.
