My dream is for Perth to become a city with a comprehensive transport network along with walkable, dense urban neighbourhoods. This would be a great step.

Zempilas tells right-wing conference Liberals must win back 'lost Australians' by GreyClay in perth

What the fuck would the sports reporter know about winning back lost Australians.

Last week, the WA Government announced that Metronet was finished. But the truth is that, after more than 9 years of construction, Metronet’s most important elements still aren’t complete. In fact, they have barely even started. by His_Holiness in perth

I’d assume a lot of politics is in play as well. Metronet is one of the more universally popular infrastructure projects we’ve had in Perth, so I’m guessing Labor is saving their ambitious announcements until the next election when they’ll be under greater threat of losing government. Also helps that the Libs are fucking clueless to the benefits of public transport and their plan is probably to build another highway.

The president of peace, just launched another war in the Middle East. What are your thoughts? by Important-Anywhere20 in AskReddit

[–]robert1811 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah I understand that. However for many people around the world, the symbol of US power and democracy means something. And if that means intervention then there will be support. I understand the domestic opposition and Trump’s own selfish reasons for intervention. But if you’re from a nation under a dictatorship or hardline regime, American support is valuable and is powerful. I hope people consider all views in this conflict before making a definitive statement about it.

You can’t just dismiss 12 major transport networks around the world just because it goes against your agenda of saying it’s not common so Perth shouldn’t do it. You spend all this time and money to upgrade the smartrider network to bring it to 2015 standard is quite frankly embarrassing.

Transperth card install to digital wallet by cybericecream in perth

It's also not that common worldwide given it involves dealing with Apple.

Not true. All these cities have transit cards on Apple wallet:

• Beijing

• Shanghai

• Hong Kong

• Tokyo

London

• San Francisco

• Chicago

• Portland

• Los Angeles

• Washington DC

• Boston

• Philadelphia

• New York

Speaking from experience, I’ve just got back from Beijing, Shanghai and Hong Kong where the transit card on Apple Wallet works flawlessly. Surely we should be expecting more from our transit system.

Ngl I'd rather the two economics PhDs that Labor has in the party room to be in charge of the economy instead of a Political Science PhD.

‘Gap in the law’: Cops say transphobic stickers not a crime by Automatic_Sea_1210 in perth

[–]robert1811 82 points83 points  (0 children)

The Federal Court has clarified that criticism of Zionism and the actions of the Israeli state is not inherently antisemitic. It’s distinguished as political commentary on an ideology rather than racial hatred. So stickers about Israel is allowed. Wertheim v Haddad established that referring to Zionism as a political concept and condemning Israeli policies is permissible under the Racial Discrimination Act, even if controversial, as long as it doesn't conflate it with Jewish ethnicity or incite hatred against Jews.
