All the money, none of the submarines: AUKUS deal paying upfront for hopes and dreams
When Kerry Packer bought Channel 9 back from Allan Bond for effectively half the price Bond had sold it to him, Packer famously said “You only get one Alan Bond in your lifetime, and I’ve had mine”.

Looks like an interesting Tuesday, low of 17°C and high of 45°C. Batten down at home with the A/C, I guess. Let’s hope the bushfire situation does not get too catastrophic 🤞

I think I need to repost this after today’s Liberal/National shenanigans. Called it correctly last time. My guess is that the Liberals will have a new leader, though.
Ssorry, Sussan, you will never have Paris. 😂 Or is the new coalition Liberal/One Nation after the rest of the Nationals defect? 🤔

🔟 In Sydney, Lord Mayor Clover Moore has focused on design, innovation and sustainability to shape a beautiful and liveable city for the twenty-first century. On her watch, cycling rates have increased by 163%—and the number of women biking by 15%—with over 40,000 residents riding in a typical week.

This is odd. We put in the desalination plant in the last drought to not have to worry about water restrictions anymore. With the excess solar power during the day we should have no problem running it. 🤷♂️ www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...
Victorian cities could face water restrictions as dam storages plummet

I cycled the new Veloway today that was built as part of the Westgate Tunnel project. It separates the bike lane from the dangerous road below, which provides access to the port of Melbourne for thousands of trucks everyday. bigbuild.vic.gov.au/projects/wes...

Again an article that mixes the danger of illegal e-motorbikes (no pedals) and modified e-bikes with the danger of riding e-bikes in general. Enforce the existing laws on illegal e-bikes and stop them from being imported. Compliant e-bikes are not dangerous.

Young people are increasingly being killed or injured on e-bikes. It’s time for governments to act
There is a lack of regulation across Australia when it comes to e-bike use, with young riders often paying the price.

That chart is well worth studying. Share of daily transactions taking place in cash around the world. As an Australian, I’m very much used to cashless everything by now. I’m still totally against going fully cashless.
