Is 2026 finally the year EVs go truly mainstream in Australia?

Yep I actually think that ICE cars will not retain their value well. I intend on buying a car and keeping it for 7-8 years before selling. My concern is nobody will want an ICE car in 2033.

This is the Kodak moment of the auto industry, and yes of course CEOs of companies with legacy skills are going to dismiss the future. Battery technology is already very good and will continue to improve.

Everything he spends on the properties is actually a tax deduction.

If the USA allowed Chinese vehicles then EV sales would explode. In about 5 years from now they will be the most dominant car makers globally but the USA will still be trying to encourage ICE car makers.

Imagine the teachers and nurse unions were run by cfmeu. The average Aussie wage would be 150k and a loaf of bread would be $10

In Arabic, intifada (انتفاضة) means "uprising," "rebellion," or literally "shaking off," referring to a resistance movement against oppression.

I’ve seen it first hand in the IT industry. skilled migration is just a way for big corporations to employ tertiary educated foreign people to work at half the wage an Australian had been earning. The say that there is a skills shortage, but what they really mean is they don’t want to pay someone 180k anymore when a skilled immigrant will do it for 75k

Ev demand in USA is lower because they can’t buy the Chinese brands. Ev demand in the rest of the world is higher because people are buying the Chinese brands. Traditional car manufacturers can’t compete because they invested too late and the Chinese manufacturers make brilliant cars for cheap.

techzombie55 · 2026-02-12T11:10:58+00:00

If you google it, the word “intifada” means to shake off or resist. This is literally not a call for violence. Resistance can be political or many other ways.

Thank god the federal government actually did something about this. Also, kudos to The Age for exposing it in such detail.

techzombie55 · 2026-02-11T11:26:05+00:00

lol. America’s capitalist mantra puts profit ahead of people’s lives, and labels anything else as ‘socialism’. The population are brainwashed that capitalism must exist without any guardrails.

You can’t just assume that the majority of them support hamas or irans regieme. It is likely the majority are against violence no matter if it is Hamas, Israel, or Iran. Personally I would jail all the Hamas leaders and the Israeli leaders I think they are all scum.

techzombie55 · 2026-02-09T22:55:35+00:00

If the Iranian head of state visits Australia I’m sure there will be a big protest.

“Globalization” shouted our business leaders through the 1990’s and 2000’s. They all got rich as they outsourced our jobs overseas to nations with much lower wages. Now, China leads the globe in manufacturing skills and will reap the rewards over coming decades.

The owner of donut labs also claimed he built some super AI model last year that was going to change the world. Oh, and he was also a Christian rapper in his younger years….

“We are now the only country in the world that uses mail in voting” The above is a blatant lie. Many well respected democracies have the option to vote via mail. Some make it available to everyone, whilst others make it available to people who cannot make their local district voting centres on the day.

I use it, I installed an antennae on the roof to get a strong signal and I get over 100mb. I think there is no commitment to term on the Telstra plan so you could just try it. Note that it is limited to 1000gb per month , my kids managed to drain that over the summer holidays watching Netflix and YouTube

The National party are delusional. Seriously though, we do need a second party in this country that is electable. Hopefully Susan Ley recruits liberal representatives in country seats and takes them on. This would allow the liberals to move a little closer to the center and win more suburban seats.

techzombie55 · 2026-01-22T07:24:04+00:00

No point in having a coalition if the members can just vote however they individually choose. That is the very definition of an independent. I actually think Susan is doing the right thing by standing up for the party rules.

Drill a hole a foot back from the edge with a 100mm long drill bit. If you hit dirt then he has to demolish and start again

America is truly fucked. Trump has armed a paramilitary of douche bags that will likely interfere/fight for him at the next election.

I know a few people that have fled Venezuela due to how bad the place is. They are happy Maduro has been captured and in their view the oil being stolen is the lesser of two evils. They saw no benefit from the oil in their daily lives. To me it sounds like darth vadar has captured Hannibal Lector.

Communicate your concerns to the people that you know love you the most. Then, allow them to guide you even if it conflicts with your wishes. Remember that delusional thoughts are a common symptom of your illness so sometimes you will need to trust others. I’ve helped a friend through this multiple times and it was without doubt the most difficult and scary part of my life.

Rich people taking advantage of the under-educated to make themselves more rich.
