Their job is to Govern for the commonwealth , not ratings. Barely anybody even engages with MSM - literally a minority and decreasing by the year. They are dying entities grasping for power that is slipping away.
Bollocks. Labor is hounded by all media. They've tried to avoid the middle east crap. But forced into an unwinnable shitfight.

They didn’t care when their project literally killed people - not a surprise that comfort isn’t high on their priority list.
I’ve received two separate responses saying (in essence) nothing but “thanks for your submission” to my complaints about the “expansion joints” - but aside from them it seems good, a safety and speed improvement vs the route below.

We've done whole of society change before. 100 years ago in fact to fill our cities and build them around automobiles. I'm not sure why doing so again is so unthinkable.
All of this would require whole of society change, and I would only envision it happening *alongside* mode-shift. I do not think "horrendous traffic" would result, in fact I think that the opposite would become true.
Networked traffic would flow *much more* freely.

Labor were under assault by the MSM from the start of his first term - and that led to the largest Gov majority in decades. I'm far from convinced Labor not kowtowing to the worst of our corporate media is the political suicide you predict.

Sometimes I wonder if this is how the Romans in Britain, the Sumerians in as their culture faltered and failed before their eyes.

Absolute nonsense.
If you look at the effect climate action had had on the planet,
no action is actually better. Many countries are allowing their conservation areas to be levelled for solar farms. Nature & biodiversity forfeit to make their climate pledges.

This is a little similar to some of the classic TNG era of Star Trek - a tiny bit of character development, but mostly just a few hints of off screen to create broad strokes for characters and let imaginations run wild. Gives writers / actors / directors so much room to move in regular stories.
I like that we get tiny snippets of his life/backstory in the movies (husband in Glass Onion, doesn't seem to get on the best with the Catholic Church in Wake Up Dead Man) but it's only ever juuust enough to spark theories/discussions.

I don't like your chances given the largest ever petition to Parliament in history for a RC into exactly this issue got 3 seconds consideration from this Government before being ignored.
No problem with firearm tightening
But the root cause of hate crimes, is hate speech and disinformation
Let's legislate that out of existence
Make the Murdock saturated media and fossil fuel finded junk tanks pay fines for every item of intolerance they produce

Worse for weeks, bad for a decade easily. No idea what genius decided to keep one right turning lane (southbound) onto Geelong Rd - to enable 3 lanes for 50m under the FWY - when the right turning lane is one of the biggest traffic holdups on Millers. Same North, should be a dedicated left.
Millers Rd has been like this for weeks. The buses get stuck and nothing moves for ages.

Vox: Cool, let’s immediately phase out fossil fuels that are making our world uninhabitable.
Gov: no, not like that.

Maybe we should ask them to talk to him about:
Getting rid of fossil fuels
Government transparency
Adhering to human rights
Rolling back privatisation of public assets
Improved funding for NDIS and Medicare
Better (Gonski) funding for public schools and reducing private school funding
What else ?

That Somerville Rd stretch is awful as well, I used to do that daily to cut through that section and get to the rail line bit (which is very safe) to Footscray. Not a chance in hell I'd ride in the painted lane - genuine death zone.
And yeah, fuck car doors. I've had other riders criticise me for riding too far to the right of the bike lane on Somerville rd, but I'm not going near those doors if I can avoid it.

That section between Yarraville and Footscray is almost exactly what I used to take when I still rode in. Unfortunately getting from one side of Yarraville to the other is kind of fraught with danger in my experience. I quite for a while after experiencing two incidents in 5 mins on Anderson St.

It’s not like community had a choice either way. The EES process outlined the - numerous - serious traffic, pollution and health impacts across adjacent communities, cyclists etc - then the planning minister pulls out the rubber stamp and job done. Suck it up people.
It's all too easy to say "well what did you think was going to happen with all the pollution", but I imagine when you're living in a truck-choked suburb in a semi-permanent mist of exhaust and tyre dust, and being fed misleading/incomplete info, it's hard to come to the obvious conclusion.

Just got back from a Europe / Japan trip. This - and the obcene amount of traffic / trucks everywhere - are the biggest culture shocks.
Ah yep. Made the mistake of trying to use public transport on a Sunday morning without checking the timetable.

Why are the ALP determined to make the wrong choice so often? It would be easy and logical to say, "Yeah, it's not a great look, let’s find another sponsor" but they choose to make it worse instead. Don't they have any PR advisors? They don't need an opposition at the moment... #auspol

The Australian Public Service Commissioner confirms what many suspected:
Public servants are avoiding putting things in writing to escape public scrutiny.
But what is the Govt doing about it?
Trying to change FOI law to make secrecy even easier.

Makes sense in a way. IMO one of the biggest reasons for speed on a bike is the amount of work involved in accelerating. E-bike doesn’t have that punishment so much easier to just cruise.
Jfc i ride slower on my ebike than most acoustic bike riders. And it's absolutely NOT a motorcycle
