The Anglosphere is not where I would be getting political inspiration and security from at this point, and yet after decades of pivoting to Asia we still seem to be ignorant of and disconnected from our neighbourhood

The shift has been coming. Voters under 45 or so vote differently to their parents. It’s a changed landscape and if you don’t know what they’re thinking or what they care about, then you don’t know what’s happening. Now up to MSM if it also adjusts to this shift

“We found there’s this perfect one-to-one relationship. If a city increased its road capacity by 10% then driving in that city went up by 10%.” Still one of the best articles on why building bigger roads leads to more driving. Understanding #InducedDemand Via @wired.com

Really annoyed at the total inertia on interstate trains from both
major parties. We are stuck with air duopoly because no government will do basic improvements to interstate rail. Not talking high-speed, just straighten the track and buy new trains! www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Soaring air fares between Melbourne and Sydney see travellers take 11-hour train
Exclusive: Seats on Sydney-Melbourne train service regularly sell out over holiday period, as one-way flights to Tullamarine average almost $500

Very interesting towards the end - ABC news tilting to easy English-language sources (e.g. American politics) and to my mind resembling the “news” from social media more and more. What about news from Asia where most of our economic, strategic and cultural interests lie johnmenadue.com?p=407802

The biggest threat to the ABC today is its craven and distorted performance in television current affairs reporting.

I love how motornormativity and our terrible urban planning in Australia is finally getting questioned in front of a wider audience. After talking about it for years, I’m finding more and more “average” people are conscious of the issues and interested in change youtu.be/xQ4KVsnotSw?...

Sydney continues to do transport better than other big Australian cities, despite setbacks. A very interesting thread
This is important.
Years ago, while I was advising the City of Sydney Australia on various things, there was an INFAMOUS day where a particularly bad state-level minister of roads was stuck in traffic and saw bike riders zooming by his limousine in a well-used, safe, protected bike-lane.

NEW: “Do bike lanes really cause more traffic congestion? Here's what the research says. Studies from around the world show bike lanes ease congestion, reduce emissions & are a boon to businesses.”

Excellent move - one step towards better planning in Brisbane. Now Council needs to concentrate on improving the transport options in the inner city www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05...
Car parks worth '$100,000' to be ditched for Brisbane's inner suburb high-rises
