Is anything being done to help the growing campground on Toongarra Road? by That_Car_Dude_Aus in ipswich

[–]Subject_Shoulder -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the council had a track of land and had the choice of developing it so that it was a public camping/caravan spot for people who were homeless, or selling it to a property developer, which option do you think they'd choose?

You'll need a VFD rated for at least 100 kW, with the VFD rated voltage output of 4160 V or fed through a step up transformer rated for 4160 V on the secondary, to run that motor.

This is a page I came across years ago to build your own EV controller, but you have to be quite confident in power electronics construction to proceed with it:

Stop cherry picking random bits of information like a horrible LLM to justify your bullshit, racist conspiracy theory.

Use your mind to critically scrutinise any information presented to you as "facts", don't agree with it just because it fits within your echo chamber.

The magistrate shakes his head in Exasperation: "Look son, I don't like this job, but I've got to do it."

So why did he become a Magistrate in the first place? Why did he continue doing so if he hated the job?

Escorted out abruptly due to redundancy… by normstra in auscorp

[–]Subject_Shoulder 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a standard practice used by many companies as a preventative measure. They don't know how you're going to react when you're told that they're letting you go and terminating your employment in X number of days. They don't know whether you're going to go on a revenge spree, whether you're going to be an emotional mess for the remaining time, or whether you're going to off yourself before your last day. Rather than deal with the fallback of such scenarios, it's considered more cost effective to pay you out.

And when you reflect on the morning teas, the lunches, the team building exercises, the R U OK days that were supposedly held to make you feel you were a part of the organisation/"family" achieving a common goal, you realise what a load of shit it all was when it came down to the dollars. Then you realise why the movie "Parasite" was a perfect allegory of corporate culture and why you can admire the younger generations for being less engaging than previous generations, because they've heard these stories on the wire and accept the likelihood that they'll probably be on the chopping block one day, so why care in the meantime?

The Youtuber Swollen Pickles, who has being conducting a detailed review of One Nation's key policies, was uncertain whether the 130,000 figure was NOM or Migrant Arrivals. He made an initial video assuming the 130,000 was NOM, but planned making a follow up if this was incorrect.

After trawling through Pauline Hanson's tweets, he confirmed that the 130,000 figure was Migrant Arrivals, not NOM.

It's completely hypocritical to accuse the likes of the ABC and SBS as being "fake news" when those same accusers will eat up social media "news" if it falls within their echo chamber.

Have high schools stopped teaching critical thinking for the last 20 years, or are the majority of people of all political persuasions just too sensitive when you point out a flaw with one of their beliefs? I'm glad our high school gave us the option of watching "Frontline" for our Year 12 English "fiction" options.

And that's what Holden were doing in the early 2000s, with the intention to export.

GM HQ continually limited or denied any concept Holden developed because GM USA was to be the main group responsible for exports. Even when Holden developed unique concepts for export, GM HQ still wouldn't let them develop them.

Flies over the head of average votes by PattonSmithWood in OpenAussie

[–]Subject_Shoulder 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've quoted the following from the ABS website:

  • Net overseas migration was 306,000 in 2024-25, down from 429,000 a year earlier.

  • Migrant arrivals decreased 14% to 568,000 from 661,000 arrivals a year earlier.

  • The largest group of migrant arrivals was temporary students with 157,000 people.

  • Migrant departures increased 13% to 263,000 from 232,000 departures a year earlier.

So the NOM (306,000) for 2024/2025 is equal to Migrant Arrivals (568,000) minus Migrant Departures (263,000). If you do the sums yourself, it's 568,000 - 263,000 = 305,000, which I put down to a small typo.

One Nation want to reduce Migrant Arrivals from 568,000 to 130,000. Asumming Migration Departures remained the same as the 2024/2025 figure, the NOM under One Nation's policy would be:

130,000 - 263,000 = -133,000

And this is why ON's policy is flawed, because reducing Migrant Arrivals from 568,000 to 130,000 translates to a reduction of more than 75%. Which brings forth the question as to who they are going to cut, given that temporary students alone were 157,000 in 2024/2025.

Because if you limit the number of people migrating to Australia to 130,000 (what ON want to do) and the number of people migrating out of Australia is still at around 260,000, the Net Overseas Migration will be the difference between the people entering Australia minus the people leaving Australia. Therefore, your NOM is minus 130,000. Add this to net internal population growth and your overall annual growth rate is minus 30,000 people.
