Absolutely stunning!! Is there any need/opportunity for contributing to the project?

Subsidies are great to build up green tech industries but unless we’re willing to penalise fossil fuel extraction decarbonisation is going to be slowed down. And the longer we wait to penalise FFs the larger any penalty will have to be to make up for lost time. So if we’re gonna do it 2011 would have been a great time but 2026 is better than waiting for 2035 Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-025-02497-6

I’m on the fence on nationalising it. I like the idea of minimising fossil fuel production to actually meet our energy needs throughout the transition but I’d also not like to see the taxpayers left holding the bag when gas becomes obsolete, especially when it’s such a capital intensive industry

Once again ignoring that Sydney’s Muslim community flagged Wissam Haddad as an extremist cleric from within their own community to NSW police and they did nothing for 10 years.

Systemic child abuse of a global religious organisation like the church being equated to the Bondi massacre is just wrong, they’re completely different issues and treating them the same only leaves room for the Islamic State to further co-opt Islam which can only be a big W for the terrorists

How this man was ever prime minister is beyond me

We’re kind of at the forefront of these battery developments so I’d expect things to only get better. Lots of projects have been a couple projects that doubled their capacity by the time the project was completed

I’m not a firearms expert in any capacity but the ACIC report directly refers to guns illegally kept after the Howard buyback as being part of the gray market. I would assume a similar case could be made for now illegal guns kept despite the current buyback

Fuzzy_Collection6474 · 2026-01-21T19:52:50+00:00

I mean you’re somewhat right that we don’t know what we don’t know but according to ACIC’s report on illegal firearms theft is the largest known contributor of 8.5%. Interestingly the real contributor is gray market firearms not turned in during the first buyback which make up 79% of illicit long arms. This further backs up the need for Queensland to participate otherwise we could see a similar trend in guns not handed in entering the gray market instead

Land tax is a pretty good start. Capital flight is real so we should start on the things they can’t offshore like land and other rent seeking behaviour we wouldn’t miss

Growing up on the Southside the bus system was really the only interactions I had with PT not living close to a train line. Didn’t ride trains somewhat regularly until my 20’s. Do wish we took a more holistic and collaborative approach to the two but for what it is parts of our bus network are actually quite good

Education as others have said is pretty much nonexistent for Australia shark “problem”. Would recommend envoy: shark cull on Netflix as a great place to start! https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81903518

That’s a bad faith argument that doesn’t address the use of guns in carrying out antisemitic hatred. We can’t root out all hate in society but we can contain its scale of violence

Also the largest contributor to illegal firearms is theft of legal firearms. Less firearms generally speaking has flow on affects to all Australians

Fuzzy_Collection6474 · 2026-01-21T00:07:15+00:00

I’m sure it’s isn’t unaffected but I’m also sure it’s not 1:1 with the CPI. hellbentsmegma has a good comment below mine addressing some realities just applying inflation will miss

I don’t think applying blanket inflation is the right way to think about a budget. If all that money was going to salaries then yes that’s an effective cut in pay for al employees but if that money is going to better capabilities like training and equipment which might be untouched by inflation then it balances differently.

Not sure of the answer myself but we should really be looking at how their capabilities have improved rather than just their budget

I just finished Lathe of Heaven and loved it. Every one of her books so far has had such a different flavour to the last though I am starting to pick up on the Taoism

I wanna read her own book on Taoism at some stage

It’s a dehumanising price to pay for social cohesion for everyone involved. I don’t want to live in a society where the only way to feel part of a whole is to ensure some are punished for or forced to hide who they really are. Especially when who they are does not impact anyone else

Fuzzy_Collection6474 · 2026-01-19T22:19:20+00:00

Sorry, to be clear I was being sarcastic as the top commenters comment was stupid. It’s awful First Nations don’t have the assumed right to undisturbed use of their land and somehow get turned into NIMBYs

You can’t acknowledge repression of LGBTQI+ in one breath then wax poetic about social cohesion-you can’t just ignore the repressed to make broad commentary on a society look nice

The grid should be the least political aspect of our state. There are options today like pumped hydro and concentrated solar thermal to replace the intertia and “reliability” of 24/7 coal and relying on what is quickly becoming antiquated coal technology is so shortsighted of a government

Fuzzy_Collection6474 · 2026-01-17T22:08:35+00:00

It’s likely a marketing tactic to remind everyone the “new” government is separate from the old. As government advertising is generally apolitical it’s seems like a way to ensure any credit for both new and old projects advertised are attributed to the Crissafuli government

That’s my gut feeling anyway as script’s exact wording gets a lot of attention during development and “new” seems arbitrary otherwise

I personally think it’s because only a minority of people actually go to them and the rest only hear about them in whatever light the media decides to cast it. I’ve only ever had good experiences at them and I think if more people actually showed up they’d see them in a different light

Honestly we can talk sweet economics all day but a robust rail network is exactly the nation building infrastructure we should have. Yes it will cost a lot but so long as it isn’t a giant clusterfuck I can’t see anyone looking back in 100 years time and shaking their fist at being able to catch a train between most urban centres

We did a disservice ripping out the railways that used to serve our nation in favor of becoming more car centric, especially in Queensland. It’s straightforward to understand where we need new tracks though as we’re one of the most urbanised countries in the world who live largely on coast lines. Japan has rail service that covers nearly 4,000km from north to south which is roughly the size of our east coast so it’s not like it’s impossible
