I've heard that part of the initial justification is it's going to make access to and from the Perth stadium a lot better for people coming from Mandurah.

Good to see us considering something that's in favour of digital rights for once.

Also as an android (Graphene) user it is good to get this precedent in place because Google is steadily turning android in to an awful walled garden too.

Scooters are already quite regulated. Max speed 25kph (not allowed to be capable of more than that on level ground) Max weight 25kg Max size 12570135 cm

https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/road-safety-commission/erideables The hire ones are all compliant with the regulations.

The hire ones also have GPS in them that is used to determine when they are in pedestrian areas where the speed gets limited to 10kph automatically. Probably not the greatest on narrow streets.

If those are the biggest behavioural issues the author is worried about then I would question if she has ever even caught public transport.

Mass consumption of "low fat" (high sugar) processed food like products?

Still yet to find anything that comes close to the search brilliance of the winamp media library.

I wonder if it would have been possible to have incorporated a slightly larger street circuit in to the future development at the racecourse on the other side of the freeway?

I imagine they might lose a few supporters under Faruqi or Hanson-Young.

I could be one of them. I've voted green in the lower house based on their policies the last 20 years. Last couple of elections I've held my nose as I did it. Most of their policies I still like. Some of their politicians not so much. I wish they would stop generating so many media sound bytes on social justice issues.

As a fan of wagons, yes it sucks that there are so few left to buy.

The European manufactures still sell wagons here. But $$$

There is also still the WRX wagon.

Vehicles with a front height that's above the average adults waist height should be given automatic zero stars for vulnerable road user protection rating.

Anything with a zero rating should be restricted from being driven while on probation. They should also attract a special extra registration fee.

The fact that at the moment some high fronted child crushers can get 5 stars is a damming indictment of ANCAP.

Liberal senator Alex Antic, however, echoed Rinehart’s argument.

“Presumably, the left wing of the party will find new and ­inventive ways to postulate that we must lean further left to succeed,” he said. “The truth is that the party has spent too long pandering to the false narratives of net zero, globalisation and mega immigration.”

What a daft cunt, the liberals under Howard massively increased immigration. He speaks if the libs donors from the real estate lobby and the business council would let them touch immigration!

And as for Gina opening her mouth in an anti immigrant direction... The same one who wanted to bring in migrants for her mine? SMH. https://www.actu.org.au/media-release/rinehart-plan-to-offshore-australian-jobs-shows-worlds-richest-woman-cares-only-for-profits/

Looks like we are finally working towards a fuel efficiency standard.

Will be interesting to see what the final details are, especially the year at which manufacturers have to hit zero emissions, and if it's going to be a linear change to get there or otherwise.

No doubt legacy parts of the industry will be busy lobbying for their own interests instead of the planet's.

 

Not sure I agree with the title that no one can ”escape” it. I think the wealth hoarding class does very nicely out of everyone else's misery. Perhaps if things don't turn around their grand children might go from owning the whole country to facing a guillotine.

More likely once there is a large enough percentage of people who will have no hope of owning, then they will start to have an effect at the polling booth.

Recently made the switch to Graphene and am trying to get my main email away from outlook.com

What's everyone using for calendar event invites?

I have a mixture of some events that only I need to see, but others I send and receive invites to people using gmail, outlook etc.

Currently trying out free Proton, but it's a bit limited. For example if I make a recurring event there seems to be no way to edit or remove a single recurrence. Also would like to be able to use say simple calendar widgets with it. Edit, also discovered that invites sent from gmail to proton simply don't arrive.

Happy for a paid service provided I'm not treated as a product for advertisers to market to.
