Yea but they’re firmly establishing the legal principle that if you can flour the law and get away with it.. what use* is the law really? *Obviously it can be used _against_ other people..

100% chance a DJ has mixed “Everybody Dance Now” and “It’s Raining Men” into one song. I can hear it just reading your post..

If we had a properly functioning rental market where there was actually sufficient supply to manage prices and make it obvious to landlords they needed to do this? Yes.. But in practice, rentals are so tight now (here specifically) that there’s no incentive required..

Yeah, this isn’t a new story.. but it kinda goes to show that State governments have still learned very little about how to get landlords down better paths.

Also, “If we install solar and it breaks, the tenant can come after me for maintenance and compensation.. so why would I want to offer this when all the risk is mine and there’s zero investment return for me?” Pretty depressing really.

I talked to a neighbour who bought a house nearby, knocked it down and put up two duplexes on the block - one to live in and one rented out. Guess which one has no solar at all because “State and Federal governments provide no incentive at all to install this for a rental”

This is quite unfair to AI John. It could replace all those and I am sure it could do almost as bad a job as some individuals I’ve observed in those roles. Perhaps worse if those individuals were used to train the AI models.

The Commonwealth has created this mess and isn’t showing a lot of signs it plans to fix it.. Those VCs are certainly not going to fix it for them..

The fruit and veg at an independent (the best one we’ve found so far in Wollongong) is by far more expensive than Colesworth but the quality is also way ahead too. There’s always a long line of people when we go.. no matter the day.

Probably quite timely when learning that some versions of MS Office (2019) on MacOS will no longer work - even standalone versions purchased as such and you need to start looking at alternatives.

I assume it’s a very large game of chicken with the Commonwealth. Which I suspect university executives (running billion dollar organizations) keep forgetting they are tiny to the size of the Commonwealth. 🤷🏾

USyd derives the largest portion of its entire revenue base of any Australian university from international tuition fees. 44%. Then followed by Monash, UNSW, UQ, Adelaide and so on.

Jason Andrade @jasonandrade.bsky.social · 15/10/2026

But your point is accurate in that no business at this scale survives if you cut 33% of its revenue. Or more than 40% for USyd.

They still get twice as much funding from the Commonwealth government than they do from international student fees. And the problem with any sector characterisation is that it breaks down at an individual uni level. e.g way more international student funding for Go8 institutions.

Bit weird to have a theory that Trump and his government need any help to look like clowns. Perhaps give them credit? They look like clowns all with their own efforts.. What’s amazing is they manage to simultaneously present as Pennywise AND Bozo.

After years of using old enterprise gear at home I am now, very much trying to NOT use this tech at home.. not least because of the usually eye-watering power bills it generates when you run enterprise gear at home..

Someone has a Cisco 24 port multi gig switch for sale on MarketPlace for $500 and I really have to tell myself I do not want to buy this because: - I don’t need 10G ports at home - It’s a typical _huge_ and very deep switch which is a PITA to mount. But on the other hand: - 10G ports at home!

Take an entire team of designers, led by a chief designer. Pay them a *lot* of money, give them a lot of resources. Then put them all under the direction of a mentally impaired billionaire. It’s honestly not hard to cock up a lot of things if you just apply the last step consistently.

Yes? Directly *and* indirectly. Mostly from tax breaks for anything that can be classified as “commercial” and heavy - which then influences purchasing in the market over all. There’s explicitly no such tax breaks for using “light” and small vehicles for business purposes. 🤷🏾

No, but you can lodge a HR complaint after you get beaten up for pointing out the cost per kWh and how that translates to EV range.
