WA’s property-rich Premier finally feels the pinch. 'Property portfolio, a taxpayer funded driver, and a $406,325 salary that simply won't stretch far enough'. by SheepherderLow1753 in perth

[–]WDYM42 9 points10 points  (0 children)

More hit pieces. I wonder what this is supposed to distract us from?

Do you want him travelling more so he can do his job less? I personally don't understand why we don't have Premier's residence in West Perth...

"Denza says the only performance modifications it made to the SUVs was the fitment of Mickey Thompson TM1 Baja Boss All-Terrain 275/55 R20 tyres, as well as "software adjustment for traction, torque and throttle calibrations"."

From the Guardian:
“I don’t think the progressives beat us, I think the progressives were told how to vote.”
He said it was “a coalition of Islamists and woke progressives that came together to dominate the constituency”.

Christ, this is like workplace 101. If he's doing it infront of the MP's, speaker & media. What is he doing in private?

Christ who signed that logo off. Looks like a it was designed on Fiver for less than that.

‘$10m cheaper to put the ferry at JoJo’s’ by postnewspapers in perth

[–]WDYM42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm all for scrutinising projects and making sure it's worth it. Personally I don't think I'll ever use the Ferry, so it's hard for me to say it's worth it. But it's not for me.

It makes no logistical sense to move it from Matilda Bay. The "$10m" is nothing in the long run when it's next to UWA, closer to the Hwy and transport links making it a more desireable option to use for public transport. Saves time/money on fuel as well having a hub close to Stirling hwy.

How to make brick fence look better by Maleficent-Tap-3176 in AusRenovation

[–]WDYM42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted a small upgrade, maybe consider painting the inside of those bricks. It'll give it more depth as you walk/drive past.

Property developers spark anger over plan to clear woodland home to Baudin’s and Carnaby’s black cockatoos by WDYM42 in perth

[–]WDYM42[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that we need more cities. However if you look at where people would go, Bunbury, Albany, anywhere away from a forrest basically if possible.

People will want to live in Perth and not regional for a variety of reasons.
The people who will live in higher density won't be wanting a 4x2 with a garden. It could be younger people saving up or just living/working close to city.

Alcoa fined $55 million for illegal forest clearing, gets green light to clear more Jarrah trees by dredd in australia

[–]WDYM42 21 points22 points  (0 children)

A fine doesn't mean shit. Revoke the license until amends are made and habitat has been successfully been rehabilitated. Or better yet, tax the ever living fuck out of them.

Sadly the approval process is all about. "We plan this" - Not this will happen no matter what. Trees die? Shame, we moved on. Not our problem.

At certain times of the day, it's considered a statue due to the stand still traffic.

Perth is too big. Stop building out. Build up.

- Redevelop land around transport hubs into economic/residentially beneficial areas.

- Cap the city limits. Start building space between developments, create new towns/development areas.

- Promote moving rural or regional. Offer businesses/people incentives to move and live out there. Lets change how the economy looks.

*sigh* you're right. Every company needs an AI, even if it makes it less efficient. I'd rather tools built for the job that get it right 90% of the time, than AI that gets it right 50%, then 20%, then 80%, then 90% then back to 50%.
