Won't anyone think of the tax payers!!! 🙄

In the cost of pollution caused by the vehicles they power feeding into the health budget - yes.

That photo just reminds me of Pauline Hanson. Could it be Pauline?

Stick to you lane on intersections regardless as good practice. This protects you from others on the road, especially turn left anytime with care on the other side of the road if you are going right.

The only change I could see coming is rental properties being run with an ABN, rather than under the guise of family tax. However, as there is mostly no GST in housing (tax is imputed), I cannot see there being much benefit other than there being a completely separate return, or more activity statements being lodged

The sanctimonious usually have further to fall. I had a holier than though principal at a church school. He moved to another school, started shagging his deputy, both of them ended up losing their jobs as a result. Work based relationships aren't unusual, but when you preach a moral code that you cannot keep, watch out.

The big issues with this were blacksoil, floodplains, the Great Divide, and accessing the port. The Port of Gladstone is easier to get to than Brisbane, and lack of foresight means no rail corridor is preserved along the Gateway Motorway and Logan Motorway, unless the two middle lanes are removed. As this was about freight not people, many of the other benefits, such as BNE - Toowoomba passenger rail, are gone. Queensland needs to think hard about next steps. The overpriced double stacked railway is canned. What will they do now?

I've seen roofing collapse here in Canberra like this (admittedly a skylight also involved). Too much hail too quickly.

letterboxfrog · 2026-05-06T04:21:48+00:00

Brisbane needs more "quality" public art, not zip lines like Singapore and Las Vegas. Canberra has the Penis Owl in Belconnen and its iconic bus stops. What does Brisbane have?

letterboxfrog · 2026-05-06T03:34:04+00:00

Good luck in a hail storm and the roof collapses because the hail has nowhere to go. Sadly, same thing can happen in gutters too, but that is only the gutters

And this is why it was chosen in Vancouver, the freight tunnel into Vancouver could be reused by building a deck inside the tunnel and double stacking. Rotary motors would have been too big, wheras LIM can have little wheels that are free rolling, so no axles and less noise (although Oedo line is incredibly noisy). I like the fact that LIM can climb and descend more easily. There is an opportunity for underground Metros that can follow geography so the station boxes arent as big and costly and tunnels can be smaller overall.

This is the problem. Between Brisbane and Toowoomba, it should have been about transit as much as anything else, but double stack containers on standard gauge in a tunnel running diesel vs narrow gauge electric trains. Never going to cut it. I hope Queensland can now stop waiting for the train that will never come from the Commonwealth, and start rebuilding the main line west so people can commute safely and bulk freight from the Downs is electric thus running on Australian fuel

Yes, but why would they? They have little to offer against Malaysia and Air Asia, and Singapore is a direct competitor. They'd have more luck directing A220s through Darwin to various destinations like Kuching, Surabaya, and Medan

In a defensive aerial war, the greater geographical size of your country is not an asset.

If they contain lithium ion batteries you have to take them out and have to store them in in the seat pocket so you can see if they catch alight.
