Why is the right wing constantly searching for some outrage to manufacture? It's been their playbook now for like 150 years, at least.

I ate the onion on this one

It's not hard (this isn't legal advice). If you find there has been an error (intentional or otherwise), document it, send it to them in writing.

They're now fucked if they are in the wrong because now they know, and if they continue to not pay you, or threaten you job over it, they're risking a lot more than before.

Huge cars with terrible visibility should have been outlawed ages ago anyway. There's no good reason for someone's bonnet to come up to my shoulders on a fucking ute.

There's a reason why the road toll is going UP per capita in the US.

As much as it sucks for the Americans, there is a small part of me that's happy about Trump shooting themselves in their own collective foot, because maybe we'll consider diversifying our alliances a little. Instead of being America's little laptop lapdog.

Turns out the City of Melbourne have a reporting form for illegally parked cars, which they action in real time.

Just got a Tesla fined for parking in a car share spot lol

Wouldn't normally do this, but it's always a Tesla or BMW parking in car share spots.

It's honestly incredible we manage to elect anyone other than right-wing parties at all, given the media environment.

They're just worried they'll lose next year because of their 2019 election loss, which was largely seen as a rebuke on negative gearing reform proposals.

Make no mistake, this minister is trying to keep their older voters, who have sizable housing investments.

Anyone who thinks rising house prices (in real terms) is actually good for society is brain-dead.

Supply is at least part of the solution. Just we need way more of it. And way less of this short-sighted, inefficient, isolating, detached housing sprawl.

I'd put forward all new complexes be made x% public housing, that would put a dent in the problem, and also reduce stigma to public housing, because it'll be everywhere, and people are integrated into the community, not shoved all in one, under-maintained spot.

While I am massively pro human centric transpiration (walkable cities, bicycle infrastructure, public transport), this take makes no sense.

Cars have their place, for certain deliveries, disabled people, emergency services.

Cars are unsafe at any speed, but we can't just get them off the road tomorrow. We need to stop over funding more road projects and instead plow it into overhauling our infrastructure.

Bob and Betty citizen living in the outer suburbs because we keep building detached houses can't afford to not drive. There's no bloody train.

More trains, more apartments (with better Owners Corporation laws), more bike lanes.

Bit by bit, we can take the cars off the road.

This ban is garbage because hate speech is already illegal.

If you're a Nazi "protesting" outside a synagogue, yeah off to jail you go, no new laws required.

This is anti-protest, pure and simple.

Ah heck, thanks for the tip. That's not terribly convenient 😅

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately many of the ones I want to find are "no longer listed" and the internet archive didn't have any snapshots.

I'm gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're a second language speaker where "user" is a masculine noun, but other genders exist lol. I encourage you to use "themselves" instead.
