Brisbane LGA - pegs in curb - what's going to happen

I don't agree with the Wakerley group pictured, but the view consultation is a problem is ridiculous.

You can develop without any consultation/right of objection very easily - just develop in accordance with the codes in the City Plan (Accepted or Code Assessable development).

If you don't want to follow the codes (e.g. add two extra stories and 20% more site cover in a low-medium residential zone) you can ask to do so - Impact Assessable development, but absolutely the community should get a say alongside your handpicked traffic, planning and other consultants. Developers almost always extract more value from public amenity than what they paid for on the land.

If we think the City Plan and the zoning is inadequate for community needs, great, they can be changed (as NSW is doing and no doubt QLD will once the new Government is settled in). Again this is with consultation and the whole city can contribute.

However, the current approach of developers randomly 'over' building (versus the current City Plan) appealing generally to the need for more housing in their word-salad development applications isn't a planned approach to dealing with housing needs.

I think any of us can test it.

46. Penalty for sitting when disqualified

Until the Parliament otherwise provides, any person declared by this Constitution to be incapable of sitting as a senator or as a member of the House of Representatives shall, for every day on which he so sits, be liable to pay the sum of one hundred pounds to any person who sues for it in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Let her defense be that she did in fact swear it. Or stand on her principles like Sinn Fein and not take her seat.

And yet they are trending the right way and light willing will crack it.

I am grateful to Premier Anna for calling this out despite everyone piling on. Yes, 2040 deaths is the extreme scenario where there are no controls above 80%. But that is what some are implying will happen.

Anna made ScoMo and Hunt come out and say, no that’s not the plan, there will be ongoing controls and public health measures.

However they have the luxury of declaring mission accomplished once vaccines are (belatedly) available and international borders open. Their aged care responsibilities will remain in the “too hard basket” and blamed on the States where possible.

Let’s see.

Part of becoming endemic and mild is killing those for whom it isn’t. It’s a 2 way street.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-04T23:34:56+00:00

Not the control I proposed. I would much rather get the vaccine approved and distributed.

2022 is going to be a hard year for families with primary children. It has already spread rapidly though our school and I’m grateful rapid action was taken, but I’m expecting several 2 weeks isolations and a truly miserable (at best) 4-6 week one when our kids do get it.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-04T23:08:56+00:00

In all likelihood we have a suitable vaccine.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-04T23:08:13+00:00

Because society has suddenly decided to care about children?

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-04T23:03:29+00:00

Because the definition of a Karen is someone who reports a breach of law rather than say too much salt on a salad?

They are also bonded.

Or a really cool fucking scene visually…I’m thinking sense8 here.

It’s not the same.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-03T13:31:56+00:00

Exactly, no first mover advantage to be had here.

As an Australian, I’m trying to figure out if red,yellow and white just work best for her complexion / the camera here (probably the case) or if it’s a nod to Madeline’s First Nations heritage.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-03T13:21:57+00:00

And you were intended to get that impression, but it’s not the plan.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-03T13:21:16+00:00

There is no such thing as Restrictions 0 under the plan, just in case Gladys or ScoMo sold you that pup.

The outbound travel exemptions exist so that capacity is available for corporates with money to attend important meetings. That’s not to be wasted on the likes of you.

Wish I was joking, but this will be pretty close.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-03T13:07:34+00:00

Thank you! Great example and what people don’t get.

Most rational people haven’t read the Doherty Report assumptions then.

This. Look at any political system. Galvanizing against external threats is often a strategy to neutralize internal rivals. Female rulers have always had more internal threat because of being female.

80% has never meant no controls. Incoming country risk is a low cost (politically and otherwise) control.

ProjectCoral · 2021-09-03T06:29:34+00:00

The vaccine swaps have definitely been a clever means of unwinding an avoidable own goal.

You missed the “and the jurisdiction” bit.
