🚨Does Qantas really hate Melbourne? Or rather is Qantas really that Sydney centric?
See our latest analysis which shows they've become less Sydney-centric while Melbourne has felt the love thanks to Jetstar. Real story is how they've come to love Brisbane!

I live in a really nice suburb. Our state government is pushing through allowing high rise apartments. I am 100% for this.
We need the housing supply to bring down the cost of housing.
Plus, there are too many empty stores on the street, we more people to help the small businesses succeed!

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

Just walked out of my last class of the day to find Dallas Brodie and her band of residential school denialists harassing TRU students, including blocking an accessible exit on campus, to try and force students to interact with them.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

For those keeping score at home, we are completely and totally screwed. I'm betting yesterday's efforts to reduce capacity by FAA has now accelerated controllers calling in. We now have massive staffing triggers all over the system. (DCA is at 240 minutes!)
