To see our Prime Minister, sitting in such a submissive position represents a sad day in Australian history.
Senator Babet@senatorbabet

If a shop is selling illegal tobacco, it needs to be shut down. Full stop. And the landlords punished too. #auspol

@central01000011 There’s no actual merit to building anything there. It’s not going to somehow be better or more valuable than somewhere else in the area.
At best, even if it’s “not worse” and noise, crowds etc wasn’t an issue, it still begs the question, what’s the point? It’s a vanity project.

I'm sorry, but you have to be insane to prefer leaving a 200m wide gap here than allowing construction of new buildings above one of the world's largest and busiest railway stations

Central Station in Sydney over station development. And like that, it’s gone.

"Car manufacturers have a role to play in making sure the vehicles they sell are more secure."
Victorian Police Minister

Vehicle theft in Victoria has reached a 20-year high, and the Police Minister has blamed car manufacturers for the surge. @JuliaPassa #9News

@central01000011 We are the 6th largest country on earth, and are an entire continent.
Somehow I don’t think we are -that- desperate that we need to build quite literally over the top of central station.
It’s a novelty concept for density fetishists.

@Ol_Wall @central01000011 I didn’t say that (+ that’s another topic entirely).
I just said that I don’t think it would be a suitable site for residential.
English
@rakeau @central01000011 we 100% do need more residential it's basically our most pressing need

At the 2nd ever Bathurst 12 Hour in 1992, Allan Grice and Brad Jones entered a Holden Commodore Ute into the production car race. It was decently quick, getting 8th in early an test sessions, but would finish 26th due to the fuel tank delaminating and clogging the fuel system

@central01000011 My reasoning had nothing to do with economics or NIMBY/YIMBY-ism.
It’s a stupid idea and we don’t need it anyway. Pretty simple.

@au_samschriever The biggest cultural problem in Australia is apathy. People who are ignorant or indifferent to politicians completely exponentially fucking everything up on a daily basis
Maybe we need things to get that bad to break the spell before they get better.

People in Melbourne are being charged as the rollout of contactless payments at Myki gates hits an unexpected snag, with some people billed without even tapping on.
Some commuters have reported being charged just by walking past one of the new tap-and-go readers.

@Red_dragon_fly @wtfinawtfworld So 30+ years of scope-creep socialism, deindustrialisation, demolishing power generation, mass 3rd world immigration, all that and more, both in Australia and Canada/USA/NZ/Europe…
but yeah nah hey, that didn’t cause this mess, it’s all Trump.
Solid logic
English
@wtfinawtfworld Perhaps if you grew up a little bit and and realised that it’s got very little to do with the government at the moment but to deal with the American government which is run by a far right political movement.

Australian Mum is feeling the pinch.
She is drowning from the cost of living.
She asks how is everyone else going?

@comical_engr Canberra seems to be a pretty big producer of the stuff, just need a way to capture it

One 'useful' thing that Australia could start making is Urea again!

@Babygravy9 Surely locals who have worked these roles previously can maybe share some insight?

One thing that’s very noticeable in GB is that almost all security workers are now from the Subcontinent or Africa. They’ve been totally replaced: railway stations and airports, festivals, supermarkets, etc. Not a single white British person.

@celinevmachine_ The guy whos refused to stock up the country’s reserve of fuel is telling people not to stock up their own reserves of fuel.

Ah yes, that thing that most definitely is not happening, might be happening.

@BullfrogDusk @KarluskaP Her not getting off the plane when instructed is doing something wrong in and of itself.
The airline will simply not take off with such people on board, so why make a scene and impact everyone else? Just say OK, politely ask about your luggage, and then follow the officers off.
English
@KarluskaP What's the context? There's not enough information for me to make a decision, but it seems from the video she has done nothing wrong.

@P202641716 @ThrillaRilla369 Why not just hire a chauffeur?
Some of us like to drive, not be driven.
English
@ThrillaRilla369 I really don't understand people and the stick shifts, they act like thats a huge flex and you're a piece of shit if you cant drive one, my God all it is is a way to shift gears on a vehicle
English
Be honest... could you jump into a stick-shift car and drive it without a problem right now?
