    The Stadium!

    1915 is at the end of the Georgian era (England) & in the Federation period ( Australia). That apart its just a shed. Actually its just a frame as the outside has colour bond cladding! Geez we have houses around here a damn sight older than that shed!!

    Hobart stadium Cost

    Nice, but Hobart is a small city of 250k You cannot justify rail through the corridor, over to the river to the East & through the hills to the South. Population size & geography both make rail systems far too expensive for any benefit they may bring. Government built the new Bridgewater bridge...

    So How Dangerous is COVID Really?

    You don't think closing borders, limiting personal exposure, messages of masking, washing, vaccine had a protective benefit against Covid? The world wide post covid excess deaths surely shows the Australia did relatively well? Maybe compare this to the effect of the world influenza pandemic post...

    So How Dangerous is COVID Really?

    Politicians never accept responsibility, thats just a fact. The LNP are certainly worse. The best example is the UK conservatives blaming covid & Europe for the complete lie fest & stuff up caused by Brexit. They caused the biggest own goal to damage their economy & entire country, ever.

    Busses can leave the corridor at any designed exit & drive on roads to areas not adjacent to the corridor. They become part of the public bus routes that exist currently, without having to get off & wait for a bus. I think thats a very big difference in itself' Also, again, the population that...

    Politics Centrelink

    You can wink all you like. However benefits are prescribed under the act. Overpayment, determined by an actual person, needs to be recouped. The recipient can appeal to the AAT or whoever. I agree the system makes it hard to eke out a living. Part of that is our unfair & quite relatively...

    So How Dangerous is COVID Really?

    Vaccines, masks, washing hands, lockdowns, work from home. All would have had an effect. That protected a lot of people, but not all. Thats the effect of a large scale infectious virus.

    Politics Centrelink

    Centrelink payments are covered by law, policy & information supplied to the department by the recipient. I don't recall Labor instigating a 'recovery' that they were told was actually illegal before they even started. So after the event, it went to court, & as expected was duly struck down...

    LA? Houston? Get a grip on reality please!! The rail corridor exists. Maybe busses (depending on a CBA) before you spend a $billion on reinventing something that failed 50 years ago.

    Hobart stadium Cost

    Its a ridiculous idea & waste of money. For a start Hobarts growth areas are nowhere near where a rail line would go. Passenger rail stopped because people found cars were far more convenient, Our lifestyles, patterns of travel & where we live are far different to the days when we did actually...

    Hobart stadium Cost

    Its become quite interesting, particularly of late. The ALP attempt to use the stadium as a wedge issue to improve their 'northern' vote, seems to be failing. Recent polls show a fall in ALP support with a leaning towards independents. . The Libs appear stagnant. The next election, due 2025...

    So How Dangerous is COVID Really?

    They do deny that. The antivaxers anti everything nufties do not accept facts. Its the mentally deficient, ignorant, antiscience ( exceprt the stuff they like!!)conservative, fearful, poorly educated brainwashed who accept nothing except conspiracy imaginations from social media. They say 'do...

    Anthony Albanese - How long? -2-

    Oh yes, I agree. I was making a quick point!! It needs a root & branch review. However pollies are too gutless to do what is really needed. A systematic wealth tax. Not extreme but something which taxes unearned income so as to better reward wage earners & help raise productivity & young families.

    Anthony Albanese - How long? -2-

    No. Limit the gift of Negative gearing, especially on old properties. Some basic wealth taxes. Less income tax is needed to boost productivity & help young people save for a house & superannuation.

    Yep, plus the fact that we've seen ground revamps, rebuilds & new constructions over the recent decades. As if Bellerive, or York Park were ever going to fit the bill. Bellerive was mistake in the first place. A stupid place to build a stadium. York Park is basically a tin shed with some...

    Play Nice 45th President of the United States: Donald Trump - Part 18: Folsom Prison Blues

    The thing is we don't have such a gerrymandered electoral system. In the USA, Its the ONLY way GOP have won anything for over 20 years. Cheating.

    Other plans without Government input? Like what? What worries you about the deal? Timelines are normal in business. The AFL need to know when it'll be done. They have forward planning requirements of their own.
