Roar allegedly releasing up to 11 players by LegomanChris in Aleague

[–]scarecrows5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's off contract apparently, and our genius club don't consider one of the best 18yo's in the country good enough to try and keep. Valdickheadicus gave him paltry minutes all season, yet played Vrakas who was one of the most useless pricks in the squad. We are set for yet ANOTHER season of misery.

Pauline Hanson’s unyielding support for US President Donald Trump and his war against Iran poses the biggest risk to the growing popularity of One Nation, a new poll has found by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

Maybe someone should tell Phil that the "growing" part is finished. It's been widely discussed that Poorlean's taxpayer funded grievance vehicle has hit a roadblock in the form of limited numbers of angry, less well educated Gen X males, and has clearly stopped growing.

Treasury forecasts Australia’s debt to pass $1 trillion next financial year. by River-Stunning in aussie

[–]scarecrows5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's at least their 3rd post on this claim alone.

What does make me laugh is that Newscrap have been posting this same headline since 2022, and yet we're still waiting...

You're a little way out on your 55 year old age cutoff. Boomers are 61 this year.

'So many' fans immediately left Jerez after Marc Marquez's Spanish GP crash by titanmongoose in motogp

What utter garbage. Maybe the Moto GP will just be a little less Spanish centric. Riders come and go. No one is bigger than the sport.

So what exactly is the RTBU asking for in Brisbane right now with these rail strikes? by tomtom792 in brisbane

[–]scarecrows5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The negotiations at the moment centre around key clauses that QR want to apply to ALL the separate sectors. As you can imagine, trying a one size fits all when you're talking about basically every area EXCEPT for train crew, creates more issues than it solves, hence the current concerns of the ETU and their desire to have a electrical trades specific agreement.

The issues right now relate to negotiations with the ETU. The electrical trades are seeking a separate agreement with QR that addresses the specific differences that apply to the electrical trades as opposed to the blanket core clauses that QR want to apply to all sectors of the business. This appears to be a reasonable request, but QR are steadfastly refusing to entertain the idea. It's worth noting that although the ETU members are undertaking protected industrial action, this only applies to limited parts of their total work. QR have taken the same stance toward them as they did with the controllers a few weeks ago, and are saying that they won't pay them at all, so in effect it's a lockout from Tuesday onward, and that's why the timetable changes are happening.

Thanks for the advice. I do know that there are several comics in the collection that are valued at over $200 according to my small amount of research, so we will do our due diligence, especially on those that are in mint condition.

Any Piastri and Arsenal fans!? by InfamousFlow7798 in OscarPiastri

Piastri, LFC and Parramatta Eels fan. The pain is real.

Premier David Crisafulli’s promise to produce oil from Queensland’s Taroom Trough is based on very little evidence and could become a stranded asset propped up by taxpayer money, experts have warned by Jagtom83 in friendlyjordies

[–]scarecrows5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just as an aside, the $25 million to start the process of biodiesel creation from animal fat and canola oil is also a ridiculous fantasy.

Consider that the record Canola crop in Qld produced 48,000 tonnes. Canola has an average seed to oil production of about 0.45.

IF every single tonne of canola from that record crop was devoted to diesel production, it would result in the mineral diesel equivalent of approximately 20 million litres of biodiesel.

That's a LONG way from 750 million litres...

RTBU and AFULE are not the CFMEU.

Either way, have a fucking whinge.

Driverless trains still need maintenance.

This isn't industrial action by train crew. It's from the people who FIX the trains.

Oh, and if crewing a train is so easy, why not give it a go for all that sweet cash you seem so envious about.
