The size of vehicles and the entitlement of drivers is getting ridiculous.

30 km/h on side streets is just sensible and done in many European countries.

Limiting the size of personal vehicles, particularly bonnet height, is sensible and should have been done yesterday.

Additionally, you can design large vehicles with proper front visibility (vans fit a bunch of stuff her someone still have great front visibility.

These American style utes are ridiculous and should be banned.

Finally actually coming, though still many years for completion.

Cowards. Could have at least done it as a trial

Watch the fine be so small it's just the cost of doing business

Small L liberals never letting a tragedy, and an opportunity to placate the ruling class, go to waste...

What's so fucking stupid about all these laws in various states is that hate speech is already illegal. These laws in various states are about clamping down on speech they don't like.

Just you wait, pro-palestine rallies will be ruled "hateful", and when they go ahead anyway, will be brutalised like they were in Sydney.

We are witnessing a decline in Australian democracy, and we best be showing up to fight against it.

Oh damn, yeah that sucks! Wonder why it's so much more of a problem on the Hurstbridge line :/ ?

The fairer comparison would be the billions we spend on new roads in mu opinion, but fair enough (because I still think the munnel was worthwhile, even if it leaves a bit to be desired).

Man do I wish Melbourne was more bike friendly, it's the best way to get around

I hope the term catches on, it's so whimsically silly

If it's to do with all the bus replacements, it pains me to tell you that that's all been for car infrastructure on the Hurstbridge line, in the last couple years 😅 (mostly)

Highly encourage PTV enthusiasts to subscribe and post/cross-post to !melbournetrains@aussie.zone, it's a little bare these days 😅

As much as I dislike the teals for similar reasons to disliking the Liberals, they at least have some semblance of care and (identity) equality.

They hate workers, but at least they think climate change is happening and that women and LGBT+ people deserve rights.

Would be good for them to fill that niche in AusPol.

Do you not understand how jobs and providing services for money work?

I most certainly advocate for a better society where work is more democratic than it currently is (in general).

I'm well aware of how jobs work, just that I don't think it's a efficient or fair way to structure society (in general). It's pretty hard to argue that the amount of money people have is purely, or even mostly, correlated with merit or how hard someone works.

There’s nothing wrong with profiting off your employees labour though.

Agree to disagree. I'm not having a go at any small business owners in particular, since many don't profit that much more than their employees anyway - just in general it's not desirable and we ought to move away from capitalism.

Oh I see you are a fan of communism lol. Never mind.

Technically not communism specifically ,because I think money is a useful accounting tool, which allows people to choose what they value, and don't think we need to get rid of it - but much of a much. Yes I am a socialist and not shy about it.
