Same in Australia, the local Premier of Tasmania (conservative state, conservative politocian) often has his shed as a backdrop.for photoshoots , with tools etc all set up, sometimes even has a "tool" in hand :)

Indeed.

They could do nothing instead, but they have no power to reduce vehicle sizes.

Whike this is true they could loudly advocate the national government to change the laws and ban shitty US sized utes. They could also shout loudly about making those small Japanese trucks easy and tax free..

This also doesn't address the problem, where it is an issue aren't going to rebuild, not for decades anyway.

How is this not already a thing? The pavement is not the street, don’t put your personal vehicle on it I mean is it that difficult?

In Australia it's illeage to park on the sidewalk (pavemnt) everywhere afaik(?) people do it anyway and enforcement is lax becase the outrage from car owners when it does occur occasionally means abuse to local govenerment who enforce these things.

I remember one article, some family had 7 cars (three adult kids, m other and father) and the entitlment was based around "where elese are we supposed to park our cars!"

We lived in a large medium density apartment complex for a number if years and there where forever people parked over the sidewalk on my walk to the shops and to be fair the local goverment did ticket them occasioanly.

On the plus side, we easily lived car free and rented our two assigned parks out to thirsty car owners ($80 each oer week) those fees covering our outgoings, so that was great :)

“If there’s one thing I’d hoped people had learned going into the next four years of Donald Trump as president,” she writes,

Ever the optimist? The only four years thing i mean.

Has little to do with illegal immigration, its a veil for racism and bigotry for the vast majority.

Im a white guy, they might not say it you to be polite but they sure as fuck think i'm an asshole like them and are happy to say it to me.

And probably sometime on the first few dates, at least asking about family.

Really ? My parter didnt meet any of my family until about year 3, not "date 3". I have met her mother 3 times but none of her siblings and that's at year 10.. I find family a chore and so does she. I have mostly nothing to do with mine and prefer being with people who have similar views. My family are mostly conservative aka hateful, hurtful and science denying.

Maybe if you're 18 it's a thing, later in life, not at all.

Neutral is the more offensive stereotype :) just means you are a conservative LARPing at being liberal.

I hope so, we're startng to see minor housing price falls, a good thing, theres already talk of a house price surge if rates are reduced.

 

The Australian Taxation Office says Australia's controversial sovereign citizen movement has used tax time to spread misinformation about taxes, including the claim "lodging is voluntary".

The ABC understands the authority is investigating complaints about one woman from Queensland, who claims she is a "spiritual accountant" and is allegedly advising people on how to avoid taxes.

 

I used to use YouTube Downloader but it seems to have shit the bed and isn't updated.

Wondering if anyone has any recommended Android app they use and a URL to download said app?

 

Morgan Stanley estimates that data centres are currently using 5 per cent (1,050 MW) of the electricity on Australia's power grid and that is expected to grow to 8 per cent (2,500 MW) by 2030.

Some estimates even suggest they could require up to 15 per cent of the power on the grid by then.

 

"I appreciate there is definitely going to be property owners in high-rises that will be frustrated ... but the premise that a person living in a $2 million, $3 million, $5 million penthouse should pay exactly the same rates on the ground floor unit isn't a fair model," he said.

 

Over the past six months members have filmed themselves entering or attempting to enter court houses, police stations, local council chambers and commercial offices across the country.

During these interactions, an NDA "sheriff" typically approaches a polite, but often confused, front desk worker to proclaim Australia is now a "demilitarised zone" and that all government authority has been dissolved before handing them a written notice.

The notice warns "failure to be fully compliant" with NDA's rules "will certainly place you at severe risk of possible persecution, imprisonment or financial ruin".

Over time, these interactions have become more confrontational.

Video seen by ABC Investigations showed police forcefully ejecting members of the group from Gympie Court House in May.

What in tarnation?

And any decent property lawyers you'd recommend?

 

Understandably, material concerns dominate the policy conversation around sustainability and systemic transformation. Yet at the root level, our crises are created and perpetuated by factors in our psychology and meaning—making. 

From consumerist values to evolutionary impulses that skew our perceptions and political behaviours, these inner dynamics subtly dictate the course of our external world. It’s why Donella Meadows, the lead author of The Limits to Growth, saw this arena of “mindsets” as the “deepest leverage point for change.”

 

What a read. Interesting how no one has been charged on The Philippines.:(

 

So 4% huh.. Bullock will look the stooge if she does't raise again surely. I bet Chlamers is on the blower now furiously twlling her what weasel world's to use explain why they must not..

That has traders at Morgan Stanley nervous, who suspect the August RBA meeting could see the national interest rate hiked further – not cut.

 

"It's an A-grade shit show," he said, not mincing words.

Rephrasing , the inevitable outcome of government and voters seeing housing as an investment and not a social need.

 

In an age where giving lifts to strangers is mostly advised against, this family sees it as their preferred option to get to India, for environmental and social reasons.

Mr Jones and Ms Ulman do not own a car, have not been overseas in 20 years, and wanted to show their son the world, in the least polluting way possible.

"We've done a lot of travel before on bicycles and hitching and public transport in Australia," Mr Jones said.

Australia has one of the lowest rates of people acknowledging that 'climate disruption' is caused by humans
