Of course the Government is spinning to make it look like more and better consultation, but the Australian Workers’ Union and the Maritime Union of Australia has "appealed to federal and state governments asking for changes to how approvals are granted to save jobs" so the union thinks the...

It seems the Federal Government previously in favour of a First Nations Voice is now seeking to reduce consultation with First Nations people & give them less of a say. This is about gas but presumably the same issues will arise for offshore wind farms too. King moves to resolve chaos in...

Can't agree with you on that. I don't think much of Biden but he is way ahead of Hillary Clinton, and Michelle Obama is better than either.

Odd responses here Eagleboy2011. We aren't talking about a bus driver, we are talking about a key decision maker in any US military response, presumably including nuclear war. People arguing that the President is not entitled to know whether a key decision maker might be effected by medical...

Here's the answer, as below. I get the logic of why tell the President something he won't remember, but it is a dreadful message to send to the country about what he thinks of his President. Surely Austin has to go. Joe Biden learned of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's prostate cancer nearly...

the normal Shovel, then?

There is, in the Backyard, but it has a different name

Excellent work by Rex Patrick "Heat on PM over meeting with Joyce Jacob Greber Senior correspondent Jan 4, 2024 – 5.00am Prime Minister Anthony Albanese met former Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce in late 2022, just six weeks after the airline began urging the government to block Qatar from...

So our PM is planning to act as an opposition to the opposition rather than to concentrate on his own policies? From the Age, my underlining: Election in 2024 unlikely, cost-of-living help on the way: Albanese January 3, 2024 — 2.19pm Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has suggested he is...

I was referring to the druncles

Some sore heads this morning I reckon!

Oh dear Eagleboy2011 - It's looking like you have zero chance of an invitation to the 2024 Internationale thread Christmas break up road trip. Maybe you should have posted a happy face?

Possibly the Internationale thread Christmas break up? You shouldn't be jealous Eagleboy2011, you might have been invited if you had posted a little more constructively.

Only actual cookers use that word, to describe those who disagree with them

Self-awareness is an underrated quality

They actually did, although it's a year ago now.

Come on Mutineer, he's much better at sausage-eating than managing inflation, keeping election promises, supporting our allies in the red sea, supporting our armed forces, planning for an energy transition, campaigning for the voice or managing immigration detention. Let the poor fellow play to...

This is the answer, from the Age: "The five suburbs set to climb sky-high with the Suburban Rail Loop By Kieran Rooney and Patrick Hatch Towering housing and office blocks would be built directly above Suburban Rail Loop East stations, and the surrounding streets would become unrecognisable...

They are budgeting to spend $2.8b on regional roads statewide over a 10 year period. They are budgeting to spend $35b on the Box Hill to Cheltenham rail across a 13 year period. Fun Facts: The government spent more on a single level crossing removal in Lilydale (in fact the safest section of...

Sorry if you are feeling a bit fragile, but an analogy that needs explanation is a dud. If it needs mansplaining and a diagram then it's a shocker.

Well said

Hello OGC! Things a bit quiet in "the other place" so you've come to visit us? Friends of the apostrophe are always welcome, in my book.

Hardly. Most of the media have been very very gentle, if not fawning. It's great that they are holding Airbus to account but it's taken 18 months – he's had the honeymoon of all honeymoons. It is quite funny to watch their bewilderment as they realise that many of the media will actually ask...

Democracy is better for having independent media that will scrutinise the government and criticise it when it deserves criticism! If Laura Tingle is really getting off the rapturous applause bandwagon that has to be a good thing.

So that's a "no" then? None of the posters who insist that all of the restrictions were necessary have actually been able to find a single example of anybody with public health or policing credentials supporting the curfew? So we have Victoria Police, the Health Department, the Grattan...

Yes, apparently Murdoch is very powerful and can manipulate election results. Which presumably means that he wants wall to wall Labor governments in Australia, because how did they get elected "against his wishes" if he is so powerful?

When I say that the curfew, imposed for 262 days, was not necessary, I am not trying to argue against what the the Health Department or Police have said, I am reflecting their own position (and agreeing with it). Even Daniel Andrews has conceded the Curfew was not requested by the either the...
