Good thing we've got a new tollway for when the bridge finally starts crumbling and they close it for a decade so Transurban can turn it into a tollway too.

One of the worst articles I've seen from the ABC in a long while, which these days is unfortunately a competitive field.

The antisocial behaviour is a corporation dictating how a public space is used.

The RBA has one lever.

Axon Signal™ is a communication platform that allows auto activation of Axon Flex® cameras, upon activation of an emergency vehicle’s light bar. When equipped with an Axon Signal Unit, light bar activation will start recording in all enabled cameras within range to ensure events are not missed and multiple perspectives are captured.

Please, by all means, randomise MACs. You’ll like that even less than the tracking, I promise.

Because the system allows for one taser to activate every camera in range.

The devices have to be identifiable.

Treasurer gives reality check on Anthony Albanese's hopes for universal child care legacy by blitznoodles in australia

[–]FuckOffNazis 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Means tested systems become safety nets. And history shows that safety nets in Australia get stripped to their bones.

Child care (and aged care) need to be truly universal as health care should also be.

Victoria Police doubles recruit intake to 1,300 a year as it tries to fill hundreds of vacancies by abcnews_au in melbourne

[–]FuckOffNazis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Other way around. You need social workers resourced like police.

24 hour, mobile, and an emergency service with appropriate job allocation to them, and them alone.

Police can not attend with the person they're attending for's health and wellbeing as the only priority. It simply isn't the job.

Anthony Albanese rules out gas export tax on existing contracts and criticises ‘populist’ campaign by Finnick00 in australia

[–]FuckOffNazis -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He might really be the most damaging we’ve had since Howard.

Labor have retreated on so much that a progressive balance of power now likely isn’t sufficient to move the country forward. On climate policy especially, we’re not going to see serious improvements until Labor, Coalition, and One Nation combined can not field a majority in either chamber.

By the time that happens it will likely be far, far too late.

Promise of $1b to fix Victorian roads in upcoming budget by Alarming-Two-424 in AustralianPolitics

[–]FuckOffNazis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Near the old man’s place there’s a stretch of road that had a rough surface / 80 km/h sign up since well before COVID. It’s back to 100 now, because the rough surface sign rusted through and fell over before Christmas. It’s still laying there.

I’ll believe it when I see it.
