A reminder today @karenandrewsmp under section 195A of Migration Act has the unfettered power to release family on permanent visa back to Biloela. The test is simply is it in “public interest” to do so. We cannot think in 20 years of a stronger example of it being so #hometobilo

Answer: Karen. "Biweekly" & "bimonthly" are problems. People can't agree on whether bi- indicates 2x per time unit or once every 2 time units. But even if Karen has sushi once every 2 weeks (14 days) & Mabel has sushi twice a month (~once/15 days), Karen still gets more sushi.

If Karen had sushi biweekly and Mabel had sushi bimonthly, who would have sushi more often?

AP’s style is now to capitalize Black in a racial, ethnic or cultural sense, conveying an essential and shared sense of history, identity and community among people who identify as Black, including those in the African diaspora and within Africa.

In a technical or legal text, repetition is good. Don't use synonyms for variety's sake—people may get confused and think each one refers to a different thing.
