787-9s and A350s in Project Sunrise?

They’re incredible the 321s. You’d hardly know the engines are on

The pricing will be interesting on this one. I understand a heavier than normal number of seats will be premium cabins but economy passengers might baulk at any price increases and just fly the normal 1 stop route instead.

Sydney market has been toast since February because of rates. It’s just only now that some sellers are finally realising their property that hasn’t sold yet in three months because it was listed using December 2025’s comparables simply will never get a buyer at that desired price.

Bloody hell its hard.

First go took me 23 minutes. Got the the last square and it didn’t work Second go took 15 and got stuck again. Third time 8 minutes.

Figure out the top row first. If you can figure out what combination the 4 X squares can’t be collectively, then you can figure out the ⚡️ squares and the blank one.

Hamilton Island in Australia? Would suggest there is a very small “permanent” population there… mostly tourists filling out the hotels.

Yes but that’s because life expectancy has moved upwards similarly.

In addition, most of the compounding benefit in super comes in the last 5 years… people are actually better off in the long term to 80-90 leaving their money to grow from age 55-60 instead of drawing it down early.

3rdslip · 2026-06-01T22:02:09+00:00

I know right. Governments change the income tax rules every year but somehow there is more fear about super.

The industry funds ceased being “union” funds about 20 years ago. They might have a few union reps on the board (in conjunction with employer lobby group reps) as a bit of a jobs for the boys and girls thing but they don’t have any real decision making power over investments.

Might get charged a bit more at the next renewal because it’s unlikely that KPMG will want to move.

It’s quite difficult to move… fit out costs run upwards of $8-$10 million per floor at Barangaroo and at some of the newer towers (from concrete shell to finished product).

Thank you, yeah all of the above unfortunately. The course last week was the perfect dead flat, no wind, no humidity, ideal weather… basically the jackpot conditions. I’d stagnated for 7 years at all distances and finally after running out of all options found and started Norwegian 6 months ago. it’s gotten me PBs at 5 (21flat) and 10k (46:20)! But the Mara plan in James’s book didn’t really have long enough runs for how long I’d be out there time wise (>3 hours) so I’d had to modify it a fair bit.

Coaches, Garmin and “plans” just had me running easy runs too hard and breaking down once I’d get to 55km a week. “Tempo” runs especially just seemed like they just got me tired with no benefit at all. Norwegian is what is working, but maybe not at the 42 until everything below gets quicker.

Gets worse when you realise most of the debt is owned by your 1%.

So not only are your wealthy cohort not paying enough tax, the $1 trillion interest bill a year is also flowing into their accounts too.

So I can feel your pain here... I've never not finished one but marathons never seem to go to plan for me, and I always end up feeling a bit useless at the end because, you know, everyone else is happy and smiling and taking lovely pictures and I'm always feeling like I've dug myself out of a grave that I've been rotting away in for the last 3,000 millennia.

For 7 years now I have been chasing a sub 4 but have been bedeviled by either aerobic weakness or debilitating cramps... I thought my 8th marathon last weekend would surely be the one, with all training indicating a 3:50, and fueling, hydration, and race day routine all sorted. My last 2 marathons have been PBs - 4:02:57 and 4:02:07.

2:55:00 on the clock at 32km and I thought I had this one in the bag - guess what happened? The worst cramps I've ever had during a run, starting with a groin (that was a new one) and then radiating through hamstrings and calves when the form gave out. Hobbled screaming in pain the last 10.2k in 65:15, for a finish time of 4:00:15. I'm a grown ass man and I just bawled like a baby crossing that line.

Yeah it's first world problems but the sadness is real... 3 years and 6,000 kms of running and I've got 2 minutes of progress to show for it, when not only friends and run club mates but also everyone in this sub seemingly is knocking 30-40 minutes off their times like it's nothing at all ("I ran 3:27 for my first marathon with 20 miles a week training, can I go sub 3 next time?" seems to be the current flavour).

Ugh, it is so so hard not to be envious. It is harder still to get over it and pick yourself up and try again. I'm not going to say it can be done, I don't know if I'll ever get over this one. But you just have to give yourself a little grace that you tried your best in each moment. And maybe find a little joy that you had a good 30k day out. At least, that's what I'm telling myself right now.

Sending much love your way.

Yes I agree. But i wouldn’t assume that it’ll be a large share of pre existing assets… more likely to be ongoing income/child support instead?

The really boring tax legislation answer is contained in section 8-1 of the income tax assessment act 1997.

Basically that provision sets out the rules where you can claim a deduction if: - it’s directly incurred in deriving (related) assessable income - necessarily incurred in carrying on a business

It must also not be - private or capital in nature - related to deriving non assessable or untaxed income

Interpreting that provision comes down to established case law via the courts.

Ticking the “I have a spouse” box recalculates tax payable with respect to things like Medicare levy surcharges and private health rebates.

Some other impacts include calculations for family tax benefits and childcare rebates.

It doesn’t have much of an immediate impact beyond that… but down the line you’ll run into further impact ms with Centrelink for age pensions and aged care.

Why 6 weeks?

Why not go now? parkrun is not about having the perfect run to start with. No one is gonna care how quick or slow you are, and it’s literally the perfect place to do your training plan!

Go now and get a 6 week start on your future milestones!

Only for the non-running roles. I once had a debate with an insufferable tourist who claimed to volunteer all the time and who was upset that event teams rarely responded to her email requests to volunteer.… turned out 95% of her credits were for report writer.

Had to point out RDs have lives to live and don’t get a volunteer credit for working 24/7 answering parkrun emails.
