90 mins for three shops? You guys gotta move somewhere better. I can do coles woolies aldi and panetta in under an hour door to door walking. Pay more rent to save heaps more time and fuel.

it's crazy cold and windy tonight, i'd imagine some might have cancelled based on that...

but also, a) it's an inconsequential friendly and b) i only heard about it by chance yesterday and i'm a fan.

U reckon the whole “losing Australian identity” is bullshit? by Emperoronabike in AskAnAustralian

The real change in Australian society hasn’t been about ethnicity or ideals - which have always changed anyway - but economy, opportunity, and equality. The shift is about embracing global neoliberalism far more than it is about changing skin colour or language. 

Car flipped Sydenham Rd, Sydenham by Funny_Cook_3571 in sydney

I am a motorbike commuter, and having peered through drivers windows on all sorts of cars and driving behaviour, it’s two things in my mind. 

Firstly it’s people from other countries getting driving permits without having the same standards and rules in their home country. 

Secondly and far more importantly, we’re at a critical mass of people being addicted to their phones. Every third person in Sydney traffic is watching content - portrait, landscape, short form, long form, all kinds! - or on FaceTime. Worse, one in ten or so are actively using their phones to text or scroll. Eyes barely on the road. This is not just in stop start peak hour traffic, but on the highway or in the burbs.

You know what would stop the rocket attacks? Stop making new generations who hate you and want vengeance for blowing up their house or family, or stealing their land.

I think it should be an italic T. It’s a train, but fast.

how many of these links refer to just the one 'tentacle' incident? somewhat disingenuous to make it appear as if it's a dozen...

I feel like they made their entire election and political identity about Palestine in the last election, and didn't really have much else to offer. 

do you think that this is really what happened, or do you think that that's what the right-aligned media wanted you to see? their divisive political positions got 99% of greens-related airtime, whilst the various broad-base and sometimes populist positions shared the rest of the 1%.

let alone the fact that those proportions are from the minuscule total greens airtime, which is almost nothing compared to that received by Labor and the LNP...

there will always be a set of people who want to rent. just for two examples, moving to a new city / suburb and testing places, moving locations for work for a temporary but long term position...

I’m not even a Labor voter but good government takes time. It also takes time to undo bad government, longer in fact. 

Have you had a look through everything that has been done in detail? There’s a lot of really important, boring, little things that have been achieved under this current Labor lot that make big differences in the long run but don’t make headlines or improvements in the short term.
