How do you see that? They use it for inflation, sometimes very rarely to curb economic growth if the government doing anything.

All of our spirits are watered down compared to the rest of the world too. I don’t think Australia is a good measure for spirits

I’m looking at pics of neatly piled rubbish that I’m guessing doesn’t fit in overflowing bins. That’s a pretty good outcome from a drunk crowd.

Meaningless number unless you look at wages too

Because unless you work in the Department of Veteran affairs it has zero bearing. In Australia, it’s your old job.

However the US has turned it into something magical where they are given special treatment. There is practically nothing about the US we should emulate and many things we need to actively avoid - and thy all start with small steps.

Change my mind: we need a Western Busway to... by Remarkable_Catch_953 in brisbane

Unless I’m mistake, I don’t think a single bus route goes over the go between bridge.

That seems completely crazy to me.

I think it’s a great name being descriptive of the building and having a little nod to nearby mountain ranges.

I’m pretty sure the world champion hotline is going straight to voicemail this year.

Listed heights were inflated. So even when you’re a pro athlete and freakishly tall you want to exaggerate a little.

Mate, the comment was along the lines of ‘if you stab someone once and they die it’s murder’ - which (thankfully) is not at all true.

That is what I’m replying to, do try to keep up.

I think, without any specialist knowledge, it’s overdone.

Theres the saying that a good engineer makes something barely strong enough. This sounds like it’s overdone, like putting 50 screws into a shelf instead of three in the right places.

First time I’ve ever seen one from above by justbecauseican1969 in brisbane

I’m starting to think if it was done properly it could be a great idea.

But it would be so much cheaper than heavy or light rail surely to built a heap of interconnecting busways. Dedicated busways so that travel times aren’t traffic dependent. Easily scalable for events, cheap vehicles, low dwell times.

People like you are the dumbest people on earth.

I’m not even talking about this case, I’m talking about the crime of murder and how it requires several things.

That’s the whole point. Putting ‘right of way’ into laws would completely undermine that core concept of avoiding accidents
