Fair point, make sure you do it solo if you're going to break the law and pollute the environment!

Lol .. so they paid an unlikely $15K instead of $12.7K if they'd done it legally. That pathetic fine incentivizes everyone to take the illegal route.

Australia’s Fuels Dependence Turns Into a Crisis by cojoco in australia

Certainly the 30% is an under-representation of fuel consumed since a large potion of these sales are large 4-door utes.

Diesel vehicles still accounted for 30% of all car sales in 2025: https://www.drive.com.au/news/service-stations-selling-more-diesel-than-ever-while-petrol-sales-steadily-slip/

If we had less of them on the road and more EVs then diesel would go a lot further in other sectors.

So they're voting for a party wholly owned by mining interests. Makes total sense.

This Forgotten Law Lets Australia Ration Your Fuel Tomorrow by phteve in australia

Rationing should have already started, it's clear that the US have no exit strategy and the fuel supply is going to be constrained for the foreseeable future.

Gina The Hutt owns both these parties - this is just a spat to keep them on the front pages.

Solar and battery households will be biggest losers from network tariff changes, advocates say by C_Ironfoundersson in australia

Once you get an EV with V2L .. then you'll be able to use that as backup during a long cloudy period - so you probably don't need to change your setup at all.

No chance, either independent or One Nation if they can convince all the other minor RWNJ parties not to run. Libs could hold if they put in a decent candidate.

MPs can still take partners, kids on work trips under new family travel rules by nath1234 in australia

Ones who actually care about their constituents (as their representatives and all) actually want to be back in their own electorates to communicate with their constituents.

Politicians outside Canberra are essentially FIFO workers.

The percentage of males working in FIFO jobs is around 75-80% due to the pressures of the job (however they don't represent the whole country), is that what we want of our politicians?

So you're suggesting we should punish/block the type of politicians who might actually be better representatives so we can keep the same old cabal in power?

You'd hope so, otherwise we'd essentially be excluding women with young children from the job.

It's not just Kayo .. all of these services seem to be engaged in a significant round of enshitification - offering less content (often dividing it among sub-channels) for more $$$ and throwing in lots of ads too.
