@DisrespectedThe This driver HAD to have seen it happenโ€ฆtheir windows are even down so no doubt they would have also heard it. They were alongside on the right with a perfect viewpoint. WHY wouldnโ€™t they pull over and act as a witness?

@KatyKray73 What is wrong with glass, cartons, or aluminium? Make them a part of the container deposit schemes in the different states. If glass containers are standard sizes, all they need is to be washed to be reused.

Milk supply crisis looming in Australia: Plastic bottle shortages could empty supermarket shelves nationwide. 80% of our HDPE pellets (essential for milk bottles) are now imported and theyโ€™re a direct byproduct of fuel refining. This is a total mess. Both governments have dropped the ball! ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡บ ๐Ÿ˜

โ€œAustralians used to be happyโ€ the driver said, as he drove me along one of our shiny new Sydney motorways. I was in his Taxi today - one of the seventeen he currently owns. He used to have thirty. Times are getting much tougher. All his diesel cars are currently parked - because it does not make financial sense to operate them. Diesel is way too expensive. Like almost everything else here today. He came to Australia from India 20 years ago. He studied, he worked in corporate Australia, and then he built his Taxi business. He assimilated and worked hard building his business. He was recently fined $3500 for missing a quarterly tax return for one of his cars. It was an oversight and it was his first time โ€“ so it was waived. But it got him wondering โ€“ โ€œwhose side is this government on?โ€ I often wonder the same thing. People came here to build a life, to better themselves, and provide a better life for their children. They worked to fit in, and now, like so many others, my Taxi driving friend today wonders how on earth this immigration system benefits Australia and Australians. Open flood gates in an economic crisis, an energy crisis, and now a fuel crisis impacts us all. But I felt the pain in my driverโ€™s voice today when he explained the total injustice he felt, a man who has performed exactly as he was asked to when coming to Australia. Getting through a very difficult criteria, being educated and working. He spoke of people - that he certainly thought would not have passed the bar he did - come flying in at a rapid pace without being asked to change in any way to fit in. He told me that he thinks that is wrong. He thought their behaviour makes it hard for those who came decades ago and did the right thing. Those that contribute. Those that pay taxes, and speak the language - well. I think he is right. The man had impeccable English. His Taxi โ€“ the flagship โ€“ was absolutely immaculate, and there was one of those very nice plastic wrapped Lotus Biscoff Biscuits waiting in the door handle and a bottle of water in the centre console. It was one of the most comfortable Taxi rides I have ever had. Just as we arrived at the destination, he turned to me and said, โ€œyou know, when you go into business you want to grow โ€“ and it is just so hard right now, the government is in the way at every turn, everything is just so hard โ€“ surely they are not that stupidโ€ฆโ€ I of course agreed with him. But the worst part for him is that as things get worse. It is the Taxi industry that cops it first and hardest. People in Australia are just not happy anymore, especially the ones that take the risks, that provide the services that we just take for granted. Even migrants. It seems like much of our problem today stems from an immigration system that is very different to the one that helped build Australia. It makes it hard - not only for those of us that have been here for generations - but harder still for those who came relatively recently and did the right thing and continue to do the right thing. Immigration must be cut back significantly. It is making most of us terribly unhappy, and that is just un-Australian. I just want Australia back.

@ajWasThere @Rexdinasaur @shoebil57672266 @LofayPeter We donโ€™t produce enough electricity to electrify our transport. We have spent more than $40bn to build more than double the national energy demand in renewables and it only supplies 50%. Itโ€™s not lack of investment, itโ€™s investment in the wrong place.

We knew it all along but allowed it happen With only 30 days of reserves, and near-total dependence on imports, restrictions on oil availability would bring us to our knees. Security only comes from self sufficiency not begging for handouts or 30 days more in reserve #Auspol2026

@Q2Quokka Anzac Day is about all diggers, not just the gay ones. The poppy already represents all of them, regardless of their sexuality, identity, or ethnicity. Stop trying to divide people into groups.

As is bound to happen the wind disappeared from SA during yesterdayโ€™s peak demand period. Did batteries reduce the peak or did they just take advantage of it? Imports from cheap VIC brown coal couldnโ€™t reduce prices - that resource was maxed out. Gas generators made more total $ than batteries because they output a LOT more MWh. SA gas peaker plant is increasing output over time, as are imports from VIC. SA will always need 100% capacity in electricity supply thatโ€™s not weather dependent. A system with massive excess capacity thatโ€™s under-utilised obviously costs more than an equivalent system with just the necessary excess capacity.

Sales of second hand electric vehicles more than doubled last month! Nothing like a fuel crisis to incentivise people to buy EVs. #EVs

@ajWasThere @renew_economy Yes the recycling claim is part of the โ€œ circular supply chain โ€œ claims made by several RE advocates and is included in the sales pitch. The simple fact is that recycling at scale is not happening, and appears economically unviable.

@ajWasThere @renew_economy Regardless, the claim that solar panels are being recycled is part of the sales pitch for them. At the moment it appears that putting end of life panels into landfills , currently costs less than recycling.

Australia's economy is on the verge of total collapse. Forced work from home will be the knock-out blow. If business found it so brilliant, they wouldn't have brought everyone back to the office. If the government wants to tell me how to manage my teams, it should pay them.

Australia is on the brink of entering the next stage of the government's emergency fuel plan, an expert has warned, which could include widespread calls for Australians to work from home. skynews.com.au/australia-newsโ€ฆ
