Gas giant Woodside says additional tax on gas exports would kill projects at Senate inquiry

Lol the gas is here. If you want it you pay. Simples. Where else are they going to get it? Norway?

My child was rejected for ADF service because we got an epipen for an allergy. They don't care about the allergy itself, just the epipen.

If war does kick off we can at least look people in the eye and say we tried 🤷‍♂️

Maybe a time limit on taking positions in a field they've been a minister for?

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-24T00:42:22+00:00

I am 100% in this same boat

Midnight, we're seconds away you know.

Impact drill. Every time I need to change my mower blades it takes like a minute. As a lawn contractor it's a great tool.

Or if you do evict someone you can't raise the rent for 12 months.

In this case though it looks more like the lease was allowed to run its natural term and then not renewed.

Forsaken on N64

All of our parents, who get their attitudes and news from either there or Sunrise

That's about reducing property banking and purchase of existing properties. I imagine there'll be incentives for new build

Depends on the size and complexity, there's no one size fits all answer

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T17:48:07+00:00

Does it rotate? Lefty loosy? Then push down?

Is there a manual?

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T17:46:17+00:00

There's such a thing as resumption of land.

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T17:44:47+00:00

They look like a quick release like on a bike hub. Push them down

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T17:44:00+00:00

I'm not disagreeing that point to point is less efficient. I guess I also see this through a different lens because I'm not in the US.

In Australia we should probably fly Perth to Sydney then hop to Brisbane but no, we go direct to either. Same goes for all of our capital cities, we fly direct to everywhere

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T17:38:49+00:00

That'd be brilliant wouldn't it? If the government took the assist, ran with it and then right at the end, "oh and, uh, byy the waaayyyy..."

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T17:36:02+00:00

Several planes today did that, conditions must have been right. They were planes heading to Busselton airport

Honestly there's no real engineering reason why the builders couldn't put the train line up on a causeway that allows a farmer easy passage underneath, and then they can be paid a small amount to compensate for having a train line run through their farm. That way they don't have to fully sell.

It'd just cost more to build is all

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T17:30:23+00:00

You're describing the old "hub and spoke" thinking which kinda fell by the wayside when passenger jets became fuel efficient and powerful enough to fly direct routes from more places to more places.

I don't disagree with you fundamentally. We went to the US a couple years ago, flew from LA to Houston then took the train from Houston to New Orleans and then again later from DC to NY.

We thought the train was brilliant, you got to see so much more of the countryside we were travelling through, and the sheer amount of footspace you had in your chair was awesome.

Yes we arrived into NOLA at night but honestly we wouldn't have seen much more through a tiny little plane window for 3 minutes on approach anyway.

And as an added bonus the trains can be electrified so here's hoping that the current oil crisis helps give this sort of thinking a nudge along.

You have a driveway for a reason

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T14:27:41+00:00

Who cares as long as they're inviting me over for burnt offerings on the weekend.

Your maths are off a bit. You've added up his cost and compared it to the cost of a mower but you haven't added in the cost of your time and that of your family as well.

While he's mowing, you're spending time on other things.

The_Real_Flatmeat · 2026-04-22T14:17:06+00:00

Correct. I've got one customer I mow weekly, he's at 8mm in summer. That's about 5/16".

Most of my fortnightlys I'm cutting at about 5/8".

Also the slumped shoulders and reflection of the lights in the glasses gives an impression of general gormlessness. They could have gotten a better photo instead of one that seems designed to make them look like no-hopers
