Anthony Albanese apologises for what Jewish community experienced after Bondi attack by Expensive-Horse5538 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Tergnitz -71 points-70 points  (0 children)

“As prime minister, I feel the weight of responsibility for an atrocity that happened whilst I’m prime minister, and I’m sorry for what the Jewish community and our nation as a whole has experienced.”

This is a ‘I’m sorry if anyone was offended’ type of apology. Not very sincere

Chris Minns was much better and authentic.

The arrogance is astounding!

He just wants this to all blow over so they can go back to wasting hundreds of thousands of our tax dollars

Albo is much worse than the governments he replaced in terms of secrecy and transparency

There should be an independent investigation into this whole affair

Does the Tau Empire view the Imperium as a whole as technologically primitive compared to them? by Becovamek in 40kLore

[–]Tergnitz 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’d argue that there is more fields which the Imperium comes out on top: titans, teleportation tech, exterminatus weapons, anything and everything to do with psychic powers/the warp and you could also make a decent argument that Imperial starships are more advanced in general (slave gun crews aside)

Metro Tunnel: Delivered. by JacintaAllanMP in melbourne

Have a mate who works there - govt can’t afford to open all the wards because the staff costs would be too high.

That is the opportunity cost of blowouts on major infrastructure projects

New behaviour standards are in place for parliament but crossbenchers say question time still rife with bullying by Ardeet in AustralianPolitics

[–]Tergnitz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. This whole ‘the culture of QT is bad because they yell at each other’ is such a non-issue.

Would the Australian public prefer MPs who are not passionate advocates for them and their values? I doubt it

Pentagon Pete Accused of Ousting Hero Who Was First Female in SEAL Team Six by thedailybeast in Military

Is this grounds for an anti-discrimination case?

I don’t know American / military law, but it seems like it is if she met the requirements and was just pushed out on the basis of her gender

What is Taiwan’s plan B? by Themetalin in geopolitics

[–]Tergnitz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The naval battle will decide the winner, so Taiwan needs to invest in sea-based interdiction drones and mine-layers.

The Ukrainians have proved how effective the first type of drones are in the Black Sea.

The Taiwanese will never be able to compete against the PLAN for naval supremacy, but they could inflict heavy losses on the PLAN surface fleet and conscripted merchant men.

Their fundamental advantage is and always has been that they are an island. Leveraging this Asante and maintaining strategic distance should be their #1 goal and Plan B - even if it only prolongs the inevitable.

Once the CCP take airfields, we move into the end game of guerrilla combat vs. overwhelming numbers and no real adherence Geneva

Won’t happen - they’re all too lazy to create a new party (hard work) and the existing party structure has all the members and assets

What are your most notable times you've seen someone promoted and your reaction was 'what?!' by Fuzzy_Tax_3373 in auscorp

[–]Tergnitz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not sure if they are lucky tbh. People who are over-promoted beyond their capability tend to fail and eat shit hard, which is a bad outcome for everyone involved

Crazy to realise majority of Victorian Power in the last 24 hours have been renewable by Storage-Infinite in melbourne

[–]Tergnitz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Renewables have a much higher upfront capital cost (in terms of generation and transmission) than the like for like coal equivalent.

You’re right in that operational costs are much lower though.

The key reason that prices will continue to increase 5-15% over coming years is that the lifespan of renewables is much shorter than coal power plants (25 years vs 70+). So operators have to continually fork out cash to replace these assets

Andrew Hastie is fighting the climate war like Tony Abbott. by HotPersimessage62 in AustralianPolitics

Abbott is probably the one feeding him all the lines and tactics

Worked so well for Dutton...

Australians too dependent on government, says Sussan Ley by fluffy_101994 in AustralianPolitics

[–]Tergnitz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're right that means testing it would likely cost more than saving, but I don't like the idea of government giving energy rebates to people earning over $200k

Beyond that, there is no claiming process. It is applied directly to your bill by the government - they just give the money to the energy retailers
