@fahad_s_ali @cosmicjester Bold of you to assume that these folks would ever step foot in a museum

Lots of modern conservative thought is just being blissfully unaware of something’s that’s always existed in plain sight and then being outraged when learning that it exists.

@EasyZ51867924 @imdavo17 @CruntieAu @Batman2242 Suggest you work at the next election so you can better understand the system mate. You are in full control of where your vote goes. If you draw a cock on your ballot, your vote isn’t counted for anyone.

@imdavo17 @CruntieAu @Batman2242 Why should my vote for one party end up with a candidate that I don't want to see elected because of the quirks of our preferential system? If I want to draw a cock on my ballot, that's my business. Force me into voting when I disagree with preference voting - that's my choice.

Please tell me why you voted for Labor ? I seriously wish to know.

@AnthonyPHoran @SydneyYIMBY I’d have to check but I strongly suspect it’s flood prone.

@SydneyYIMBY I’m surprise nobody is talking about developing Canterbury Racecourse. This racecourse is less used than Rosehill & it only hosts smaller weekday race meets. It’s also closer to the City & is near a soon to open Metro Station.

The Rosehill sale vote has been lost 56-44. NSW govt needs to move on to the next target: a big eastern suburbs TOD.

@niborst @SydneyMetro 100%, makes no sense at all. Not to mention “change at Barangaroo” - change from what? To what? How do you GET to Barangaroo? Is it even possible to change or are we predestined to be however we are?

@SydneyMetro Hope there’s a thorough post incident review for the comms on this one. E.g., what was the first sentence here supposed to mean (don’t they always run between those stations?)

Due to a metro requiring mechanical repairs at Barangaroo, change at Barangaroo to complete your journey towards Sydenham. Listen to announcements and check information displays for service updates.

@GourmetMale @SydneyMetro So unclear, hey. Say what you will about Sydney Trains but they have their disruption comms down pat.

@jwrowls @SydneyMetro Yeah, their message to "change at Barangaroo" is especially helpful.

@Kaath_Kilo @fictillius @SydneyMetro This aged poorly lmao

@fictillius @SydneyMetro And yet the trains are still running at the same frequency. Sydney Trains could never

Now ⁦@SydneyMetro⁩ are having a go

@edbrent @SydneyMetro I was at Martin Place and it was very obvious that half the people trying to go south went to Barangaroo, so that’ll be them waiting to come back. Comms could have been taken either way - sounded like you were meant to go to Barangaroo and change regardless of your destination.

@SydneyMetro Sorry, but all these Metro services are emptying out at Barangaroo and then retuning back to Tallawong with only a handful of passengers. Meanwhile, the number of passengers at Barangaroo trying to go south is growing and growing

@Pandamonium_V @SydneyMetro Yeah staff doing what they can for sure, no issues there. The rest is a mess. Personal favourite is the announcement saying to watch the station screens for info and the screens being mostly blank.

@jwrowls @SydneyMetro mixed messages, screens say there is metro to Sydney, nope all to tullawong. social posts say shuttle, all I see are people walking to Wynyard. staff doing thier best, but no idea what the plan is...

I’m totally on board with Sunil Gavaskar’s disappointment at not being invited to present the trophy with his name on it.

god i love the ireland school of motoring logo that's just our beautiful island as a guy left foot braking with his peanits out

@who_shot_jgr well that's done then, pouring one out for all my US-based folks, good luck

New chairman of the Climate Change Authority Matt Kean will also be "director of strategic partnerships and regulatory affairs" at Wollemi Capital, an investor in carbon credits and markets. Talk about conflicts of interest. afr.com/companies/fina…

Sydney Trains having an meltdown in evening peak just as Metro's opening was delayed is just...

@yimbymelbourne @MChandlerMather i really dislike the terminology used in this discussion and the way it frames things. if aspects of the system changed resulting in reduced sale values for residential property, your 'home' would only be 'worth' less to you if it's an investment first and a home second.

We agree wholeheartedly with @MChandlerMather. House prices need to go down in real terms to help ease the housing crisis.

"My nudes in profile" - sure, but howabout nudes in portrait? nudes in repose? nudes in contrapposto?

@Diesel_R00 Terrible colour scheme/pattern. Looks like a cheap knockoff. I don’t really like the shade of blue either. It’s as if they’ve chosen the least ‘statement’ colour possible, by committee. Physically, the face is ugly as sin. Reminiscent of the ugliest F1 car ever:

Ignoring everything else, what's people opinion on the aesthetics of the Sydney Metro trains?
