It’s not like community had a choice either way. The EES process outlined the - numerous - serious traffic, pollution and health impacts across adjacent communities, cyclists etc - then the planning minister pulls out the rubber stamp and job done. Suck it up people.
It's all too easy to say "well what did you think was going to happen with all the pollution", but I imagine when you're living in a truck-choked suburb in a semi-permanent mist of exhaust and tyre dust, and being fed misleading/incomplete info, it's hard to come to the obvious conclusion.

Just got back from a Europe / Japan trip. This - and the obcene amount of traffic / trucks everywhere - are the biggest culture shocks.
Ah yep. Made the mistake of trying to use public transport on a Sunday morning without checking the timetable.

At the cost of a destroyed climate and biosphere. So no, let’s not be like those fuckers.

Why are the ALP determined to make the wrong choice so often? It would be easy and logical to say, "Yeah, it's not a great look, let’s find another sponsor" but they choose to make it worse instead. Don't they have any PR advisors? They don't need an opposition at the moment... #auspol

This is what voting majority parties gets you. Disdain when in power, lies when out.
The Australian Public Service Commissioner confirms what many suspected:
Public servants are avoiding putting things in writing to escape public scrutiny.
But what is the Govt doing about it?
Trying to change FOI law to make secrecy even easier.

Makes sense in a way. IMO one of the biggest reasons for speed on a bike is the amount of work involved in accelerating. E-bike doesn’t have that punishment so much easier to just cruise.
Jfc i ride slower on my ebike than most acoustic bike riders. And it's absolutely NOT a motorcycle

Same. Been off and on for years and renshuu is the first that has “stuck” - essentially free but you can lifetime subscribe for a few bonus features (ie. to support the devs)
you should add Renshuu to this. what ive been using primarily and its fantastic

Yup. Also Hydro is true blue blah blah old school fossil fuels are part of the solution cue nostalgic black and white footage.
About 12GW worth. Or 5.5 times more than Snowy Hydro 2.0 delivers. Still, not the same as taking a photo inside a big hole in the side of a mountain. And that counts for a lot, apparently

$12bn could alss as o have bought a lot of big batteries - that would already be running.
Snowy Hydro is more of a big battery project, though, so the comparison isn't entirely fair.

Smart cities don’t need cars at all to transport kids to school.
I'm terrified even driving around these huge vehicles in my small car. Now I feel as though I should buy a bigger vehicle to protect myself.
This is insane. 🙄
It's also extremely concerning on a bike or as a pedestrian. Cities do not need huge trucks to transport kids to school!

“Safety and space at risk as SUVs reach 30% of car market in English cities, researchers warn. Campaigners call for Paris-style parking charges amid fears big vehicles are taking up excessive public space.”
Cities need smart strategies to manage vehicle size. NOT bigger parking space requirements.

The message is obvious - they don’t actually have an issue with any of it. It’s a bonus that it torched their opponents.
The failure of the @albomp.bsky.social government to cauterize robodebt from the Australia public sector is arguably the biggest in a crowded and growing field of failures that constitute its legacy. Trust in government instrumentalities has been destroyed.

Had an hilarious experience in Munich recently met a couple from Seattle who were talking about maybe moving overseas. My wife - the epitome of tactful non assumption - asked what the reason might be & wife gave us epic side eye & suggested it was okay to talk about the orange elephant in the room.

This MP thinks not only that he is smarter than you, he thinks you are dumb as dog shit. Absolute patronising nothing from a treasurer.
Labor MP Tom Koutsantonis, South Australia's new treasurer, has told The Australian he is "very worried about that type of woke agenda"
"Young men used to make up a big cohort of Labor voters...a lot feel as if they have no voice representing them from any party," he said

Staggering that this can not be a serious long term jail sentence.
“A 24-year-old man who hit two Aboriginal pedestrians with his car and sped away, later bragging to his friends he’d run down an ‘oxygen thief’, has been spared actual jail time.”
ABC Australia.
It’s good enough to “show remorse” in court if it keeps you out of jail.
Welcome to Australian justice.

Good thread imo. As a non European this has been the required path from at least that debacle with Trump trying to pick a fight either Zelensky last year. A strong united Europe is required and more than enough.
Poland has been quite lenient towards Tr*mp -
Willing to tolerate his nonsense in order to keep the USA onside.
Giving him the benefit of doubt, interpreting what he says and does in the most favorable way.
No more.

Love your work, but we do not have a world class train network & only one side of the city has a world class tram network.
The Victorian Government today has released the draft plans for the next 25 activity centres in its upzoning program. It's great to see more homes being enabled around our world-class train and tram network!

Genuinely surprised. When I raised the constant and repeat red light runs near me (over a bike thoroughfare as well) I was told by the authorities that it is “hard” to get people to obey lights.
Amazing. Some time ago I lodged a request for a red light camera at the Flemington Road/Elliott Ave intersection at the top of Royal Park.
Much to my surprise, the DoJCS agrees (pending approval of funding 😒)
