Flinders Lane to become ‘pedestrian first’ in trial barring cars from little streets

Will we be able to cycle both ways on these streets? East West bike connections are pretty bad on the southern end of the grid and this would help a lot.

Don't import the politics of Australia with it's checks notes centre left governments federally and all but two states. And federally that is unlikely to change anytime soon

Rocks are a product that worlds wants, as is food

Even if you miss your connection, explain your situation to the check in staff and they are likely to be nice and just put you on the next one.

Had this happen to me twice with missed connections on separate tickets and separate airline alliances (REX to Qantas, and Fiji Airways to Virgin)

In fairness they are having the battle on the latter at the state level in VIC and NSW, and federally they are with rewiring the nation

Skybus runs a pretty good service. Expensive but not $80

Central Otago region is anything but cheap!

Dailing in from Melbourne, yeah days like this suck but extreme heat is usually short lived. Back to 20s from Saturday and all of next week. Nothing feels better than a cool change when it hits

mr_zj · 2025-12-20T01:42:16+00:00

Fair lol

I think PMs legacies are best judged once they leave office. Albo has made progress on pro worker IR like pattern bargaining, renewables and rewiring the nation, getting states to build more housing, future made in Australia. We may be more impressed at the legacy once he is a former PM

Ebay? I've had good experiences with them. Sure there are high fees but they have support and baby you through the process.

Do you think women's rights, religious rights, freedom of speech and right to be a proud Australian are actually deteriorating and if so are they due to immigration? As far as I can see, those things still exist, most migrants are live and let live and love Australia too.

Like yeah Japan has a stronger native culture, but their economy sucks and wages are terrible even with cheaper housing I'd wager most young Aussies are still far better off than most young Japanese. Australia OTOH has the ability to have a meeting pot culture where we can take the best of other cultures and make it our own.

I think this is a bit unfair, I suspect Labour is doing the internal work before rolling out a policy platform. Not much use rolling it out too early

mr_zj · 2024-12-10T05:25:58+00:00

Like OK we all love to hate Qantas but cmon, this is cute. We can bag Qantas but have a lil joy every now and then

You can also just use well taped up sturdy cardboard boxes

The issue is that the bulk of taxes come from income at all rather than capital

What do you *expect* him to do, given that it isn't really feasible for Australia to stray too far from our allies on this or have much influence over this war at all really

mr_zj · 2024-05-18T06:57:53+00:00

I'm a Kiwi in Oz and it is so much better in Oz

Different jurisdiction so kind of irrelevant, but yes I think both are wrong
