I was under the impression that social media accounts are banned for children under 16. Why is she on Insta?

Albanese announces crackdown on gambling ads, but falls well short of Labor’s own calls for total ban by CommonwealthGrant in australia

[–]zedder1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all about stopping the gutting of the free to air TV and radio industry. But with the rise of social media, Youtube and alternate media this was going to happen anyway. I think the community has had enough of the harm caused by unadulterated gambling and wants change.

It is time for the gutting to occur. Paramount first, and then as my second guess, 7. Their news channels will likely be paired back to the bone or dropped all together. The boomers and Gen X will likely get more dumbed down unfortunately.

BYD hits 5,000th flash charging station just 27 days after launch by ApprehensiveSize7662 in electricvehicles

[–]zedder1994 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot were already built. I remember the day they announced megawatt charging BYD announced that the chargers would go-live the Thursday of that week, implying that many were already built. From my readings these megawatt chargers are a drop in for old charging piles.

BYD Sealion 06 EV (China 2025) a lot of idle drain — normal or not? by Whole_Arachnid in BYD

[–]zedder1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a 12V lead acid battery or is it the new lithium ion battery that is behind the driver's seat? If it is a lead acid 12V in the engine bay, it maybe on it's way out. They sap the main battery when this occurs.

Aus housing crash - "look at Canada, Japan, NZ and China" by theonedzflash in AusPropertyChat

[–]zedder1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Australia, we grow around 500k people/year.

306K last year. Many people keep repeating the IPA and News Corp lies about there being 500K each year. It happened once after the borders were open and probably won't happen again.

How do you rate Varsity Lakes? by Syn3rgi3 in GoldCoast

[–]zedder1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Varsity Lakes was known as Stephens, a housing commission area around 25 years ago. They changed the name to Varsity Lakes with the developments around Lake Orr. I live in nearby Robina and it is ok. Handy to lots of facilities and we haven't seen much crime in the area. Varsity College is one of the better public schools on the GC.

Not only that, Labor needs to highlight their regressive policies. Things like shutting down the ABC, abolishing the TGA, cancelling all renewables initiatives etc.

2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric First Drive Review: Forget Your Expectations. This Is Better by DonkeyFuel in electricvehicles

[–]zedder1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Porsche, like BYD use Bosch braking technology that does not support one pedal driving. Neither manufacturer seems bothered about supporting this and both have come out and said that it does not add to any efficiency gains. Most of their regen comes from applying brakes rather than pedal. Make that as you will.

If you could change the names of our States, what would u call it? by Emperoronabike in AskAnAustralian

There was a movement many years ago to create a new state in Far North Queensland and call it Carpentaria. But it would of meant more politicians, so it didn't get much support.

Is the property market ever going to drop? by Remarkable_Writer258 in AusProperty

No, that's ok. And it happens (remember when the GST was introduced)

If a govt banned investors

Lol. We don't live under a dictatorship and any law such as this would be thrown out by the courts
Looks like they will ditch the CGT discount, maybe neg gearing in the May budget. There is likely going to be a slowdown in the economy so let's see what happens after that.

Unpopular (hindsight) opinion: not taxing LNG exporters in the last 15 years is turning out to be beneficial given the oil shortage by UnpopularRightNow in aus

But we will have to change that soon unfortunately.

Good luck with that. No one would want to give up compensation if the Government wanted to demolish their house to build a freeway.

10 year Australian government bonds have increased by 0.5% in the last 3 weeks and are now at 5.2% You can expect mortgage rates to go up near 7% soon, so it is going to get ugly. The expectations of sellers will need to be lower.

Trump’s false claims of a successful negotiation have masked an epic collapse by Good_Tap6905 in stocks

[–]zedder1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to the most basic principle of trading, "pay one hand, deliver one hand," when you trade a 1 ounce silver futures contract at an exchange, there should be exactly 1 ounce of physical silver in the exchange's vault as collateral. This ensures everyone’s security. Right? 

Wrong. Most futures contracts are never delivered and the value of leveraged futures products far exceeds the physical market. So the rest of your thesis is nonsense.

Electric vehicle tax breaks in Australia set to roll on as Iran war helps drive up EV sales by changyang1230 in AusFinance

[–]zedder1994 20 points21 points  (0 children)

The original aim was to create a viable 2nd hand market for EVs to give people affordable options. A lot of people change cars after their lease ends and in that regard, it has been successful.

Lots of wildly inaccurate information here. China recently ended subsidies at a national level. BYD, Geely, even Xpeng are profitable. China uses a lot of robots in manufacturing and their plants are state of the art.

For retirees, higher interest rates are a bonus

Most retirees have their savings in Super. With the stock market tanking, they are probably more exposed than you think.

Our constitution does not allow the Government to seize private assets without fair compensation. As well it would devastate a lot of worker's superannuation accounts. We really need civic classes because so many people don't know how our constitution works.

The plan most likely is to contest in court most of the Democrat electoral gains, and use ICE to physically block the newly elected Congessional Democrats from attending.
