With the CBD Metro open, people are asking why is the station parking so inadequate? Parking means people far from line can use it, with less traffic from their longer drive to the city. Sounds great!
So why would a $21 billion project not be able to provide enough parking?⬇️1/8

Consumers and manufacturing are taking a hammering thanks to the gas cartel's capture of the Lib/Lab duopoly. We're paying the price of a huge public policy failure, the product of shameless behind-the-scenes lobbying and influence buying. #auspol
'Obscenely expensive' wholesale gas prices driving manufacturing offshore
Australia has a wealth of coal and gas resources as well as renewable energy, so why are energy costs so high — especially for manufacturers?

Yes, election slogans are just PR words designed to foster positive vibes.
But LNP's “Let’s get Australia back on track” is laughable.
Relies on voters forgetting a decade of corruption, incompetence, lies, climate denial, and a worsening housing crisis. #auspol

What we learned – and didn’t – from Peter Dutton’s unofficial campaign launch
There was his log cabin story, an official slogan and – later in the day – a policy booklet, but no new announcements in Melbourne

In 1582, a papal bull introduced the Gregorian calendar, still used today by most of the world. Because it’s 11 days ahead of the Julian calendar, countries introducing it simply skipped a third of October, and if you scroll back far enough in the iPhone calendar app you can see it change
