OT: Current Affairs and Politics

[Bandwagon]

See how smart these merkins are.

They get it.

Do your research.

 

[Suitman]

So Chris Minns announced two more transport infrastucture projects today. Two metro extension projects.
Two that the Libs have already announced.
Add those to the Parra Light Rail Stage 2 that the Libs are also going ahead with.

He's got nothing.

 

[the phantom menace]

Except a likely chance to form government in 29 days.

 

[Bandwagon]

I guess if infrastructure getting built was the litmus test for good government the Libs would likely romp it in.

But then you'd have to ignore all the dodgy shit and dysfunction, so there's that.

Yeah, and it's not like there was any dodgy shit the last time Labor were in Government in NSW.

For sure there was mate, and it was pretty rancid.

But how long do you reckon they should remain in purgatory? For ever?

And how does that excuse the current mob?

 

[Bandwagon]

I think at the end of the day Labor were in power for too long last time, and the same is happening here and now

I suspect the current mob will get one more term.

How did we get from public transport fan Turnbull's vision of everyone being 30 minutes commute to work, to the lockdown cookers deciding that the government is planning to prevent us from travelling more than 15 minutes from home ?

‘The 30-minute city’: how do we put the political rhetoric into practice?

The ‘30-minute city’ goal is about more than urban rail and other transit projects. It means transforming our cities into centres of activity where work, study and services are all close by.

Do I think near self sufficient metropolises are a good thing? Yes.
Can I see scenarios where they could be used to close off communities whether for good or not reasons? Also yes.

what a scoop

 

[Gronk]

I know that Dutton has been very anti this, but surely you don't expect my SMSF contributions to be taxed at just 15% on my limitless super contributions ?

 

[Bandwagon]

I suspect the current mob will get one more term.

I think it's gonna be very close, and probably no clear majority for either of the majors.

 

[Gronk]

They're coming after your house !

Facetious?
Contributions at 15% tax aren’t limitless

There is no way any party, let alone Labor would dare tax the family home.
Particularly in this era of increased family costs. IE - increased mortgage rates, rising electricity prices, tolls, rising council rates etc...
It would be absolute political suicide.
Slow news day for the Telegraph.

How much rabbit would $120 buy?
