I wonder if it would have been possible to have incorporated a slightly larger street circuit in to the future development at the racecourse on the other side of the freeway?

As a fan of wagons, yes it sucks that there are so few left to buy.

The European manufactures still sell wagons here. But $$$

There is also still the WRX wagon.

Vehicles with a front height that's above the average adults waist height should be given automatic zero stars for vulnerable road user protection rating.

Anything with a zero rating should be restricted from being driven while on probation. They should also attract a special extra registration fee.

The fact that at the moment some high fronted child crushers can get 5 stars is a damming indictment of ANCAP.

Liberal senator Alex Antic, however, echoed Rinehart’s argument.

“Presumably, the left wing of the party will find new and ­inventive ways to postulate that we must lean further left to succeed,” he said. “The truth is that the party has spent too long pandering to the false narratives of net zero, globalisation and mega immigration.”

What a daft cunt, the liberals under Howard massively increased immigration. He speaks if the libs donors from the real estate lobby and the business council would let them touch immigration!

And as for Gina opening her mouth in an anti immigrant direction... The same one who wanted to bring in migrants for her mine? SMH. https://www.actu.org.au/media-release/rinehart-plan-to-offshore-australian-jobs-shows-worlds-richest-woman-cares-only-for-profits/

The sky propaganda said this after the last election, the libs put Dutton as leader and did just that. Historic loss for them.

Again they are saying it now. I look forward to the libs following the advice more and getting reduced to a minor party.

I used to think that a majority labor govt should have fixing media concentration as a top priority.

I think they should still do it, but it's becoming less of an top priority issue these days.

Murdoch and Packer/Gina propaganda failed this time and last.

I think that the billionaires have learnt it's easy to negotiate in the background with labor to get their reforms through as far as cutting red and green tape goes.

Bolt is just salty because he built his whole fake media persona on culture war outrage. The worst thing that could happen to him is happening, that is him and the rest of the sky talking heads are losing audience share and fading in to irrelevance.

I used to work for a company that agreed with you, well at least some clown in management did. Even though it was an Australian company, at least part of the problem was we had an office in Manila, and they speak "American English" which seemed to include the awful date system too. We dealt with a lot of files being issued to clients / received from vendors etc. Because the "official" system used those fucked up dates, everyone ran their own secondary sets of data folders in / out with everything done in ISO dates so you could actually sort it properly.

It's hard to imagine how the keep the sheep campaign will make any difference in urban seats. People tend to vote in their own interest first, myself included. Live sheep exports would surely be a long way down the list of concerns for urbanites.

I also find their campaign a bit on the nose. Why should I or any other average millennial vote to keep live sheep exports for the profit of farmers? Farmers reliably vote for liberals / nationals who have gone out of their way to fuck over anyone not born in to wealth since at least the Howard era. Why would they think we would vote against our interest for them when they didn't do the same for us?

I always wondered if anyone actually votes for ungrouped independents other than their immediate family.

I couldn't even be bothered searching for them when I made the O.P.

We have pretty much the same policies as the USA when it comes to digital rights, including border force being able to search your devices upon entry.

I tried this then it wanted me to do a verification video of my face.

We have:

• Preferential voting.

• Proportional representation (at least in the lower house)

• Independent organisation that sets seat boundaries.

• compulsory voting

• no electoral college system

Our system is completely different to the USA. Granted our media landscape is still just as fucked as theirs.

First preferences also result in funding going to that party provided it meets a minimum threshold. Putting others ahead of the major parties sends them a message to do better. It has also resulted in a number of seats being held by independents.

Unless you actually live in the seat the party leader is in, you are not voting for that party leader / giant douche / turd sandwich.
