1cur4sx | I find it interesting how seemingly no one mentions the other reason why there is a housing shortage.
People only wanting to live in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and government's refusing to invest money outside those areas into new infrastructure.
I bet if the government bought in a policy that you pay more income tax if you live in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and you pay a lower rate if you live outside those areas, people might choose to move away.
All this talk of government paying to build houses is not a solution. That is not the role of government. | 0 |

1cyvuc4 | Las Vegas is not a fair comparison, you as an American should know of the great journey west that your country had in its early days trying to reach the west coast by rail. You wouldn’t be living in half the inhospitable states you live in if it wasn’t for the infrastructure of the rail system, and once you’ve got that spread happening the movement supplies lends to pockets of towns in hospitable locations, places like Las Vegas. Secondly Las Vegas didn’t just appear it came from the distinct need for gambling and prostitution and filled its niche run by gangsters willing to reap its benefits, same as your unions of yesteryear. You got a strange government that doesn’t protect its citizens and the criminal underworld rose up and provided protection or availability until it became the snake that eats itself exploding with collateral deaths. Thirdly Las Vegas is built in a fairly flat spot and pretty tiny compared to our cities and in a thoroughfare, where as our uninhabited country is very hilly and very tropical and without thoroughfare, a real shit to develop. | 0 |

1d4j6sl | Our council didn't send us a notice for a year and each of us thought the other had paid it. No late fees and no reminder (although they weren't sending anything. Once I got them to manually delete and re-enter us as the landowners we started getting the mail again ). But no fees. | 1 |

50k immigration isn't based on anything other than being a number you've plucked out of the air and feel would be attractive. To put it into perspective, there are currently 57.500 'spouse' visas available each year. Your immigration policy is going to stop Australians marrying the people they choose, all without even remotely coming close to addressing skills issues. You've also just crashed the entire higher education system. You have an interesting idea of 'utopia'. | 0 |

1d30cgv | Catalogues are very effective at getting people to buy stuff they otherwise wouldn't.
People are open to it because, "I only get it for the specials", but they are very effective at exposing people to products they werent even considered, and weaving those products into peoples long term buying habits.
This is why Aldi repeat products on a regular cycle.
Their catalogue may not sell this time around, but each time around it becomes more and more likely.
Eventually they train people to keep an eye out for that special. And this is despite the fact they would never have considered that product 12 months ago.
But people only get the catalogue for the specials .. . . . | 0 |

1d3om48 | But if the gas industry is 'made sustainable ' then civilized life' won't survive. Ask science. So you are a human survivor of a long line of humans so far, either we innovate and adapt or die out as another also ran. This year the average has broken 1.5 deg and accelerating. Forget about party politics and consider what can be done quickly - with or without the support of the freemarket practioners - because they have done us so well so far - the desperate circumstance of no new gas will stimulate the directed research that will develop substitute feed stocks and the chemistry to go with it. We are human and able to adapt if we follow the science , not the personal interests of todays gas investors. | 0 |

I think it’s a smart political move. Labor does itself the biggest disservice when it is perceived as being out of touch with its core demographic of voters (ie the voice referendum).

1d3zbot | They can withhold the value of whatever is specified in your contract/the relevant award. However, they can't withhold more.

1d4qm6t | Moved in earlier this year. Can't recommend it highly enough. They are always built near trains, trams and bike lanes and you get a free GoGet membership thrown in so if you need a car, you go get one and only pay for usage. Obviously some people need their car daily so obviously if that's a deal breaker then it's not for you (but as you say, looking to ditch your car so it's a good fit).
Community is fantastic, everyone is conscientious, super supportive and really active in sharing things, giving away furniture etc.
Build is high quality, excellent material choices, apartments are really quiet. Doors are heavy and use a gasket design to seal so the outside world disappears when they are shut. Very comfortable in here.
Excellent amenities, green everything, good quality appliances. Every apartment has a planter with built in irrigation.
There's storage cages on the roof, bike storage, lots of new washing machines, beautiful roof views and close to everything good.
Obviously NG use a ballot system so you can't just roll up and put money down. I'll be here for a long time. If you were looking for a way to avoid the shitshow that is the real estate industry, this is a good way to go about it. NG are very open and communicative about the build process all the way through, nice people.

1d25xi7 | As a niche-interest protest party, the Greens care little about the impact their hardline positions would have on ordinary Australians. The undergraduate and destructive stance taken by G[reens leader Adam Bandt]( on the October 7 terrorist attacks by[ Hamas against Israel]( is proof enough of the harm the far-left party poses to [Australia’s community cohesion](
The inflammatory detour into foreign policy is calculated to embarrass Anthony Albanese but, as outrageous as the anti-Israel stand is, it is only part of a bigger threat that the Greens represent to our national identity and good government. When allowed to get close to the levers of power – as they did in de facto coalition with the Gillard Labor government, and with a balance-of-power position in the federal Senate today – the [Greens are exposed]( for the wreckers they are.
The Albanese government has yet to prove it has the substance to stand up to the Greens. Its record to date is one of being too eager to cut a deal or shy away from a fight. Good policy – most recently legislation to give certainty to the offshore gas industry and discourage unjustified lawfare attacks by protest groups – has been put on ice to appease the Greens. Changes to the nation’s environmental laws have been delayed because it is too difficult to find a sensible way to allow development and protect the natural world, something business supports.
Labor already has said it will delay introducing legislation for its $13.7bn package of production credits for hydrogen producers and critical minerals processing announced in the federal budget to allow time to negotiate with the Greens. Whatever one may think about the Albanese government’s corporate subsidy agenda, the Greens will only make it worse.
The Greens have pledged to use their balance-of-power position to frustrate the government’s wider agenda. This includes housing, where by focusing on renters the Greens have outflanked the federal government electorally in its inner-city seats. Voters must heed the lessons of the minor parties. For all the high ideals expressed before the last election, the teals have failed to make an impression. The Greens, once again, have shown by their actions they will only make our politics and economy poorer for their interventions. | 0 |

1d5bkeu | I’ve been to Paris and (some decades ago), Shanghai. The main takeaway I have, and I’d assume the same for Berlin is that we’re talking densely populated cities which actually have cycling infrastructure physically seperate from vehicular lanes, and certainly in Paris, the streets are narrow so cars are not travelling at speed. It’s the direct opposite of here where cars travel at speed on the same roads as bikes.
I’d love to cycle more places, but bike helmets aren’t putting me off, it’s the lack of a safe cycling route that won’t leave me on a bike at the mercy of a dickhead in an unnecessary 4WD and potentially dead or brain damaged.
Fix the infrastructure and maybe then we look at helmets. | 0 |

1d31i2u | > continuing the Allan Labor Government’s priority to make Victoria a safer place for women and children and work to end the tragedy of deaths of Victorian women at the hands of men.
How can domestic violence be a valid priority when more women and children die on the roads, if indeed death is the primary determinant of the program?
I'm assuming they mean women in Victoria rather than Victorian women (from the Victorian era) none of whom are still alive.
It's deceitful to blather on about number of deaths of women in domestic violence as justification, when more women die in other arenas, in order to support a program that aims to reduce domestic violence of a wide range of forms including raised voices.
Surely the focus should be on the worst triaged objective outcomes, not subjective hurt feelings; and on men who kill, not profiling all men for the actions of a minority.
Didn't we ban gay conversion therapy only to now implement a generic Men's Behaviour conversion therapy? Behaviour is in response to causative factors, it doesn't magically spring into being through immaculate conception. Perhaps we should be looking at causative factors in priority outcomes. | 0 |
