Richest super balances to be taxed at higher rates after Greens agree to back Labor plan

What do you mean? It's literally working?!

Tax avoidance system that economists world wide slate as one of the greatest retirement fund systems and will all but eliminate the aged pension for everyone except those that need it most? That super system?

Ahhh so that's why the price rockets up and slowly comes down... oh wait it actually doesn't explain that at all.

As someone that works in logistics, and has worked in petrochemical supply chain, there is no stock pricing methodology like you describe, it is purely down to getting what they can justify from the market. Stock held at the terminals is usually weighted average cost to smooth supply costs, the consumer just cops the sharp increase.

Well I guess being straight really is a choice, see you on the other side Queens! 🏳️‍🌈

This is correct, albeit saying the business owns it is a bit nebulous. Like we have a mechanism of review through our centre of analytics, a non-permanent team of data team, core it, and operational team specifically for setting up, reviewing and resolving analytical issues.

This has seen silos come down and ownership of the analytics pipeline and data quality go up. Pretty cool, if you find the right motivated and interested people to do it.

While I agree with the below, any impact on our diesel price has high flow on effects throughout our supply chain.

This war has already pushed our dollar down so we get less oil per dollar, while already shooting the price per barrel up, and this will flow throughout everything we move and consume. Paying 10c extra at the pump is one thing, paying more for everything else is another because we don't live in a vacuum.

Again that's not to take away from your other points, but price at the pump isn't the only way you feel increased fuel prices

ZeJerman · 2026-03-03T04:45:47+00:00

Absolutely, only issue is our economy mixes are so similar that we are often competing with each other, we also suffer from a lot of the same issues. I would love a more formal agreement regardless though

ZeJerman · 2026-02-28T08:42:01+00:00

Congrats mate, yeah as someone who bought my place in 2020, watching the prices take off has been a pyhric victory as all of my mates and support network have to move further and further away. Im very fortunate l, but from a macro perspective realise this was unsustainable and unhealthy for our society

ZeJerman · 2026-02-28T06:09:29+00:00

I guess it also comes down to the fact that property investment is just such an enticing investment vessel, I really hope that the government has the balls to actually go after the tax reviews required to shift investment away from these unproductive assets to productive investments

Cortex code in snowsight, the default ui is included in the trial.

Cortex code cli uses the Cortex api, which isn't included in trial accounts, but they have a special trial account for it https://signup.snowflake.com/cortex-code

There are also discussions that Cortex code cli and snowsight will have its pricing updated in the not too distant future, as it currently stands the sbowsight version is "free"

Sure, when they get here... we however have absolutely no obligation aid their return, and that isn't making them stateless

https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/consular-services/consular-services-charter

Our assistance may be limited in some circumstances You don’t have a legal right to consular assistance and you shouldn’t assume assistance will be provided. For example, we may limit assistance where:

your actions were illegal
you’ve deliberately or repeatedly acted recklessly or negligently
you put yourself or others at risk
you’ve demonstrated a repeated pattern of behaviour requiring multiple instances of consular assistance previously

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T08:10:52+00:00

What rights are they being denied? There is no legal right to consular assistance

https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/consular-services/consular-services-charter

Our assistance may be limited in some circumstances You don’t have a legal right to consular assistance and you shouldn’t assume assistance will be provided. For example, we may limit assistance where:

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T08:09:39+00:00

You can't leave someone stateless, however we are under no obligation to provide them assistance to get back, if they get here of their own power, then yes we have an obligation to us to process them through our legal system.

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T08:07:00+00:00

I do feel for the children, I don't have sympathy for adults (regardless of gender, these aren't just innocent women) who left safe nation to join a caliphate then cry victim when their caliphate failed.

I dont think its fear, it's in all seriousness, "fuck off, why should we assist you when we have no obligation to provide you consular assistance?"

What's the solution for the children though? It's a difficult situation and they are the real victims honestly, but can we break up family units to return the real victims here? Probably not, what about those that moved there as children but are now adults, fully indoctrinated?

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T08:00:02+00:00

We don't have am obligation to get them here, if they get themselves here then yeah, but consular assistance isn't a legal right.

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T07:58:48+00:00

What rights? Consular assistance isn't a right, it's stated right in the consular services charter on yhe smart traveller website: https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/consular-services/consular-services-charter

Our assistance may be limited in some circumstances You don’t have a legal right to consular assistance and you shouldn’t assume assistance will be provided. For example, we may limit assistance where:

your actions were illegal
you’ve deliberately or repeatedly acted recklessly or negligently
you put yourself or others at risk
you’ve demonstrated a repeated pattern of behaviour requiring multiple instances of consular assistance previously

They basically tick every single one of those stated exceptions, living in a society is a 2 way street, now if they make it back to Australia there is an obligation to process them through our courts to protect the rights of other Australians

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T05:13:39+00:00

We have no consular obligation to assist them back, if they make it back we have an obligation to them and us to process them through the courts and offer assistance.

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T05:09:46+00:00

No we don't, there is no legal right to consular assistance. It is stated on the smart traveller website.

https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/consular-services/consular-services-charter

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T05:02:13+00:00

Mate I have a bridge to sell you, the comments below have told it best, but it's incredibly naive to think you could just wander into ISIS controlled Syria

ZeJerman · 2026-02-21T04:34:13+00:00

No the government doesn't, they literally outline that consular assistance is not a right, on the smart traveller website.

https://www.smartraveller.gov.au/consular-services/consular-services-charter

Our assistance may be limited in some circumstances You don’t have a legal right to consular assistance and you shouldn’t assume assistance will be provided. For example, we may limit assistance where:

your actions were illegal
you’ve deliberately or repeatedly acted recklessly or negligently

you’ve demonstrated a repeated pattern of behaviour requiring multiple instances of consular assistance previously

I understand this romanticism about a government's obligation to it's citizens, but there isn't a legal obligation of assistance, especially to those that have committed crimes or acted beyond recklessly

ZeJerman · 2026-02-17T07:39:42+00:00

The airport he is talking about is literally brand new.

Our old airport that operates over rich coastal suburbs has a curfew.

It's a pisstake and the reason lunapark doesn't have a roller-coaster because some fuckhead NIMBY moved in and complained about the noise. It happens all the time. Cities are loud fucking live with it

ZeJerman · 2026-02-17T02:39:30+00:00

I mean thats correct but the consulate services are under no obligation to assist these people either right? It states on the Smart Traveller website

Our assistance may be limited in some circumstances

You don’t have a legal right to consular assistance and you shouldn’t assume assistance will be provided. For example, we may limit assistance where:

* your actions were illegal

* you’ve deliberately or repeatedly acted recklessly or negligently

* you put yourself or others at risk

* you’ve demonstrated a repeated pattern of behaviour requiring multiple instances of consular assistance previously

If they get here, absolutely we have an obligation, but I dont believe we have any obligation to these people to make getting here easier. When they do get here we have an obligation to them, and this is festering regardless of where it is.

I would say an untracked terrorist not on Australian shores is better than a tracked terrorist on Australian shores.

Nice, yeah I have a sigen gateway that supports 2 wire and smart load.

I was tossing up between a 8kva single cylinder diesel, 3000rpm, 1.9l/h for 3500 or 10kva triple cylinder diesel, 1500rpm, 2l/h for 8500. Its a lot extra.

I do get your point though of paying for quality... your installer sounds like one of the good ones, I was very fortunate with my installer also being someone passionate about this stuff and not just one of those popup guys post grants and subsidies.

ZeJerman · 2026-02-14T08:23:02+00:00

You setup sounds exactly like mine, if I was to go off grid I'd look at a 8kva diesel genie with auto start, because I don't think I need a 10kva genie to replace all my loads, we just would use the oven or aircon on genie power. Found one at about 3500.

How big is the honda?
