Love this pic I took in 2016 (I found it through Twitter search believe it or not )
What surprises me is that they found somebody willing to pay that much (though given how these things are financed, it’s not *really* US$5.83 billion)

My mother just told me Prabowo was visiting Sydney like it was some kind of revelation and clearly her Indo news networks are not as on the ball as people on here like @erincook.bsky.social.

Looking at the Glasgow train network map for reasons and that’s a very dense heavy rail network for a relatively small area population wise (yes, I do have an understanding of the area’s context)

Jet stream from the Southern Ocean causing cold weather in southeastern Australia. Brrrrrr! 🥶
Late-spring chill spreading across southeastern Australia
A cold Southern Ocean air mass is spreading across southeastern Australia, with Sydney next in line to feel this late-spring chill.

Lucky two years till the next election for the Coalition (so it will be like 65-35 then)
#ResolvePM NSW (state) ALP 37 L-NP 28 Grn 10 IND 15* other 11

My 2PP estimate 58.5 to ALP (-0.5)

Boomer primary vote for Coalition increased from 2022 to 2025 🤣😂
Millennials even less likely to have voted for the Coalition (21%) than Zoomers (27%) at the last #ausvotes www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11... #auspol
New figures show Coalition's 'existential' millennial problem getting worse
As Liberals prepare to fly to Canberra to hash out their net zero stance, results from the Australian Election Study suggest those under 45 have continued to drift away from the Coalition.

I haven’t been paying close attention to the BBC and Trump drama but from the little I have seen, it seems the UK has finally turned into a proper vassal of the United States?

The only thing I have to say about Suharto being named a national hero of Indonesia is that his policies are likely a strong reason why my parents moved to Australia. I don’t mind his legacy being revisited - Indonesia has a habit of trying to put the bad parts of its history into a memory hole.
