Not sure how you can oppose something as a matter of principle, but support it if Russia were to vote in favour of it 🤷‍♂️

“384 back-up diesel generators, on-site diesel storage amounting to 6,400 tonnes, and two large-scale batteries.” Luckily Albo’s going to ensure they’re powered by renewables…

Still amazed nobody has developed this single storey 20m x 40m shopfront on King St Newtown into multi-storey residential above retail. Such a waste. Looks like the old Young Henry Wilford St site is no longer being turned into a six-storey, 40-apartment block 🙄 www.smh.com.au/goodfood/syd...

I was making potato and leek soup and the recipe asked for five potatoes cubed. Even for potato soup, 125 potatoes seems a little excessive.

Crazy that the fine for a driver failing to wear a seatbelt is twice the fine for running a red light. Why should a driver risking their own life be a greater offence than risking the lives of multiple pedestrians? www.drive.com.au/caradvice/dr...

The state fining drivers almost $1300 for a single offence
New research shows Queensland has the highest driving fines in Australia – particularly if you commit these offences.

“Most of them don’t actually read or know what’s in the AfD’s programme. And they don’t seem to care. What won people over was simpler: I hear you. I see you. Yes, you have every right to be unhappy” You could switch German AfD with MAGA, or PHON in Australia, same story.
