Electrify transport to save money, save lives and reduce strategic dependency on world energy markets.
That’s the line.

Maybe we should consider that there is no way in hell to persuade a large % of Australians that anthropogenic climate change is real. That battle is lost.
Need a new line of attack. Pollution is the best. Very hard to argue for lung disease and premature deaths.

You need to figure all the data. Less brake pad particulate and less emissions kills less people. Are you factoring in how much ice traffic emissions cost economies? Billions in healthcare costs, not to mention lives lost.

Herald Sun reporting on a positive Melbourne story? Amazing.

I wonder if anyone could do a % of their stories, negative vs positive on Melbourne or state government. Then do a timeline over the last 25 years, or maybe the 27 since Bracks?

A fall from grace is never far away.

They can be nasty too. Hope you’re ok.

No, it’s on my list. I was being terribly lazy (time-poor teacher) and assuming her acumen, considering her surname. Lovely to hear.
I’ve been a fan of David long before he left the pitch. Great decision making on the ball too.

Driven by Greed - The Deutsche Bank Story: Putin’s Bank – DW – 04/24/2024
Deutsche Bank managers driven by greed set it on the wrong track in the 2000s. For many years, the financial institution maintained close ties with Vladimir Putin.

Some commentary fixates on strippers and golden showers, but it’s the same as ever: follow the money.

Are there any journalists left standing?

Oh, is he suggesting other countries now ban immigrants from the USA?

He’s got a good point there.

The politician who complained ‘there’s just too much government in my life’. And yet he’s still there, taking the governments’ pay packages, kindly funded by us.

You’re welcome, barnacle jowls.

Is keel-hauling still legal?

Well it’s not small c for crisis either, it’s capital c for catastrophe.

This shower of charlatans have stuffed our democracy. Thank god for Pocock and Ryan who have the nous to make a media indent. These Labour snouts have too much swill. No competition = no democracy.

Very weak oratory. No pause, no confidence; like a grad teacher who hasn’t the nerve yet to stand their ground and wait for quiet.

shame. A strong LNP might have pushed Albo to ban gambling ads but he feels he can capitulate to vested interests because he has no competition. 1 party, no democracy.

Senator Pocock for PM.
Maybe Barbara for Deputy PM.

That’s a festival.

That Teal vote at the next election is going to be quite something!

Labor and LNP are determined to drive off pesky voters.

I’ve been saying Pocock for PM for a while now.
