I hope this means better driver standards will be instated.
These guys are nearly as bad as Giacci drivers.
Whoever is behind this push must have attended a really pricey Sydney private school, have generational wealth and is a bloody idiot.
>“I mean, it’s one of the biggest public policy failures since federation, in the sense that it hasn’t helped the budget, and it has not really helped many people get off the pension."
We haven't even hit the point where retirees have had a full working life of super contributions yet. Of course there won't be any impact to the budget just yet.
I really think the Liberals don't want money tied up in savings, they want it out flowing in the economy so they can boost profit margins on EVERYTHING.
Why didn't T8 measure the restrictor?
Shouldn't this show up in engine data?
Surprises me that a technical delegate has never measured #888s restrictor diameter and found it out of spec.

The interior looks interesting. Huge screen.
Main Roads WA has shared the attached video on their socials today showing a crash on the Kwinana Freeway.
You can clearly see that the vehicle that caused the crash was not paying attention at all (while towing a trailer no less) and went on to damage at least 3 innocent vehicles.
I think it's great shaming these people.
Calling your business a name that when said fast sounds like your saying pedo is a huge misstep in strategy.
Bit of weirdness in this.
It was a poor show with the hosts having the chemistry of oil and water.
Bring back reruns of The Simpsons.
Westport unveils preferred design for $4.6bn Fremantle replacement port - Splash247

That concept picture really looks like someone went nuts in Cities: Skyline and put down as many cargo ports as possible.
Is anyone else losing their mind reading the local Perth community Facebook pages lately (more than normal)? The absolute echo chamber of morons feeding morons is staggering.
We are witnessing peak Cooker with the upcoming test of the new AusAlert emergency system. It is the exact same brain-rot flavour as the crowd that panicked and opted out of MyHealthRecord (a very useful service) years ago. Back then, they thought the government was tracking their DNA, now they’re convinced a literal life-saving bushfire and flood broadcast system is a dystopian tracking device.
Newsflash: cell-broadcast technology doesn't even use your phone number or track your GPS. But these people are actively sharing "tutorials" on how to block critical emergency alerts, entirely missing the point that they are disabling the one thing that might save their house from burning down.
The pure irony of compromising their own safety to "fight the system" is the ultimate definition of a Cooker.
The cookers are officially panicking over the national AusAlert test. Facebook is an absolute goldmine right now. They’ve convinced themselves that the test is some way of weaselling further into our private lives and spying on us.
The best part? They are collectively melting down because they realised you can't just swipe away a "Critical Alert." Half of them are giving tech advice on how to disable wireless emergency alerts in Android/iOS settings, not realising that only works for *Priority* alerts, the Critical ones bypass everything, including Silent and Do Not Disturb.
Imagine missing out on actual emergency updates because you’re terrified of a text message test. If your phone rings on test day, just know somewhere out there, a sovereign citizen is screaming at their toaster.
You can't make this up.

That guy who was cowering stayed way longer than I would have.
We need to start questioning SpaceX YouTubers a bit more about a massive misconception they keep feeding the community.
When you watch update videos, the big channels constantly show simplified 3D renders of Super Heavy or mention they fueled Super Heavy with a small amount of liquid methan. They point out the seemingly tiny upper liquid methane tank and the massive LOX tank below it, completely glossing over the internal plumbing.
Thanks to these oversimplified animations, viewers assume the booster barely carries any methane. What these creators consistently fail to visualise is the massive, Falcon 9-sized downcomer pipe running straight through the centre of the LOX tank. That downcomer isn't a tiny straw, it's a high-capacity extension of the upper tank, holding a massive volume of chilled methane right down to the Raptor puck.
I love the community's animations, but YouTubers need to start visualising actual internal volumes. Next time they show a basic cross-section, question what they're leaving out in the comments!
What does this mean?
It asked me if I'm military or elected.
I know it's a small detail, but if the Australian Financial Review can't get small details right, how can they be trusted on anything?
>Australia has almost one-third of the world’s known uranium reserves, but punches well below its weight in terms of production because of widespread bans on mining the yellow metal.
They are correct in that Australia has large reserves of uranium, but it is not a YELLOW METAL.
Yes, the oxide is yellow, but the actual metal is silvery-grey.

It's the fact that he allowed himself to be put in that position. After initially refusing to answer, he allowed himself to be pushed into a response.
>Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has "unequivocally" apologised for comments he made on a podcast that he would shag Kylie Minogue after engaging in a game of "shag, marry, date".
He’s trying way too hard to be the "cool uncle" everyday bloke, and screwing it up because he's not a cool or everyday bloke.
And the unequivocal apology is just a massive admission he f*cked up.
I wonder if other world leaders laugh AT him like we do? He's our very own milquetoast version of Trump.
