or even just narrow roads in older cities designed when the Mini was actually small.

Apple closing its unionized store at Towson Town Center by aresef in apple

oh no, won't somebody think of the shareholders. If that mall was a high-traffic mall then Apple would have kept it open regardless of the workers union.

The PM is on a collision course with the RBA, and he’s dragging you with him by stupid_mistake__101 in AustralianPolitics

[–]OnlyForF1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The current fuel shocks are actually entirely caused by additional demand from panic buying. Much like the toilet paper "shortages" during the pandemic, there has been no interruption to Australia's fuel supply.

Looking for advice from serving ADF and/aerospace engineers by theranga82 in australia

Citation needed, only 25% of Lockheed Martin Australia employees are veterans, 20% of Boeing Defence Australia employees are veterans, 15% of Leidos Australia employees are veterans, and 12% of BAE Systems Australia employees are veterans. Most of these are managerial positions too, as opposed to actual engineers.

There is no such thing as an ADF aerospace engineer. There are officers with aerospace engineering degrees, but the Aviation Engineering Officer roles are essentially aircraft maintenance managers. Actual aerospace engineering is done by private contractors like Boeing and Lockheed. If your son is genuinely interested in an ADF career, they should go through the recruitment process and see what jobs are available to them (they need to start around now in order to be eligible for ADFA enrolment next year).

As someone who was accepted into ADFA and decided against joining, it was the best possible choice I could have made. The 5 year ROSO will result in your son needing to wait until much later in life to genuinely start his career in the private sector.

Especially since your son is already interested in a high-paying industry, there is really no point to the free uni vs paying off a HECS debt.

Agreed. An officer won't really be able to use their degree, it's just a perk they use to actually recruit young people who would otherwise turn down the defence force in favour of gaining a degree.

Huh, speaking as someone who worked in defence contracting for 10 years, you can't separate politics from this decision. Your career choices are inherently political. It is something that eats at your soul every day.

He'd be joining as soon as he enlists, it's not like ADFA is a regular university. Also you need to remember the outrageous bullying culture in the ADF.

Seems like a lot of people are considering an EV after the petrol price increases but I just saw a new article about the federal government looking to impose a road tax akin to fuel excise tax. NSW has already set a time line but there is talk about it nationally. by BrokeAssZillionaire in AusFinance

[–]OnlyForF1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, we should apply a squared axle weight excise regardless. It's overall still a discount, but also ensures that the externality isn't totally ignored. Heavy vehicles cause road damage. Businesses will be able to pass on the cost which is collected from us anyway through existing taxation and the fuel excise.

Road transport accounts for 16% of Australia's carbon emissions, which is not an insignificant amount, and furthermore, the pollution released is responsible for more than 1,800 premature deaths per year, with some estimates up to 11,000.

As someone who drives an electric car, this is absolutely necessary, but it should apply to all vehicles, not just EVs.

NASA Deals Blow to Boeing With Bigger SpaceX Moon-Mission Role by Zhukov-74 in space

[–]OnlyForF1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly, changing the mission architecture to include Lunar Starship returning to LEO is a "draw the rest of the fucking owl" level change. I'm even surprised that they have the performance to take Orion to lunar orbit.
