It’s funny you say that.
I normally propose we get a bunch of drunk people to race and bet on them instead. You need a minimum bac to compete

Let’s start by banning horse racing for a start
Fucking nobody cares about the Melbourne cup. Just throw a large party without the horses, keep the alcohol, keep the public holiday, and nobody will give a crap horses aren’t getting injured

You mean the guy who called the cave diver a pedo before all this?
And who brought “freedom” to twitter?
And now he’s running enforcement on trumps plan to turn the us into a dictatorship.
I don’t wish death on him, but my not liking him happened before the Nazi solute.
Even if you took the Nazi solute out, it’s fairly clear he’s not a good person
- Comment on Google has illegal advertising monopoly, judge rules 1 month ago:
They DO though. They sell the default search engine to Google for billions knowing they’re profiting from the ads indirectly…
I was implying the fact that Apple doesn’t need to though, because they monopolise things via the app store, and with other foul play (like requiring additional intervention if you want to run an app from outside the store on Mac). They have full control over monitoring what apps and what kind of apps are popular, so they can target them with their own competitors.
They also have some fairly hefty requirements from developers, and even try to get a cut of subscription fees
In the case of Pebble as an example, they delayed the pebble app, launched their own watch at the same time, and because they fucked Pebble over, they never stood a chance.
Just to further things, Republicans have a clear bias. When the head of google was in congress, they weren’t really asking questions, but they were incorrectly stating things like Google was tracking their phone anywhere it moves
And yet, Apple seems to dodge every single case. They don’t even allow IOS to run on other platforms.

Thats actually true… Only once have I been. It was ok, but, i didn’t realise how good mexican food is meant to be until I tried my local mexican place and was in the US to find out how it was meant to taste.
Not once since then 10 years ago has anyone mentioned Taco bell to me in any conversation.
Unrelated, also, it was a pity Hogs breath shut down (that place I genuinely enjoyed)…

And yet, as per normal, Apple is innocent… apparently
- Comment on Australia’s coal mines emit 40% more methane than reported, as revealed by satellite analysis 1 month ago:
This shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone
What is an actual surprise is all the dickheads here in Australia still defending coal. Coal doesn’t benefit you in any way
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
You probably know about it more than me…
I’ve been onsite plenty of times when they’ve been cutting that stuff up. Some owners argued better PPE would be enough for the Stonemasons, but it won’t protect other people where its being cut.
Furthermore, nobody NEEDS engineered stone anyway, and people tend to take shortcuts when they are in a rush
And its mainly the workers affected. The people selling it are sometimes the ones who aren’t even cutting it up (especially because they know there are risks).
Feel bad for my friend though who now has silicosis and no way to cure it.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
When it’s cut for bench tops and such , that’s what exposes people.
Lots of stonemasons here in Australia now have silicosis because of it.
Natural stone has far less issues and there is stone available which doesn’t cause it
Business owners were also claiming they weren’t given enough time to switch. Everyone including me (I have a friend with silicosis now) has known engineered stone was dangerous to work with for years.
So they had years of warning that it was dangerous But they pretend like it was unexpected.
- Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 month ago:
Here in Australia we just banned engineered stone because it tends to cause silicosis
And yep, lots of shitty business owners whined and a few shit customers on Facebook
Silicosis is what’s killing people at the moment, and business owners in particular don’t seem to care, despite the fact there’s is alternatives
- Comment on Even his doctors are full of it 1 month ago:
We shouldn’t even call him Trump anymore. Gives him too much attention
Call him only by his number: 45 or 47
- Comment on Something's up with all those airbnb locks | Purplepingers 1 month ago:
The point is you can have both security and usability
If the guest loses the key too, it’s not an issue
I suspect people mainly use the lockboxes only because other people do
- Comment on Something's up with all those airbnb locks | Purplepingers 1 month ago:
They stopped using them on construction sites specifically for that reason. You can just cut them off (or knock them off the wall), and open them at your leisure. Everyone hides the keys instead now.
Also, its just a stupid solution for AirBNB too, since anyone can easily clone the keys. You’re better off installing a lock that accepts pin numbers and you can change whenever a guest leaves
- Comment on Police remove homophobic banners hung over Melbourne highway targeting Labor MP Julian Hill 1 month ago:
Probably the same people vandalizing everything with Nazi symbols during COVID and who flood the Internet whining about national parks
- Comment on Australia’s Upcoming Elections and the Trump Factor. 1 month ago:
At least Trump was elected a few months before our election, so people can see what a piss-poor job he’s doing, and what a load of bollucks his promises were.
It looks like at least news.com.au in Australia has turned on him a bit (Sky news though is still out there brainwashing people 150% though to make up for it)
- Comment on Australia’s Upcoming Elections and the Trump Factor. 1 month ago:
If anyone is stupid enough to vote libs (or even worse, clive), honestly, it’s an indication we need to spend more on education.
Even the crappiest Independents are more likely to be better.
Also, make sure you show up to vote with a list of who you want to vote for. There are a lot of shit parties out there with misleading names
- Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton 1 month ago:
Yep. I’m sure people will be jumping at the opportunity to give you cheap rent, absorb all of the property ownership risks and all the stress.
Unless the rental property is owned by the government, fuck all chance mate 😂
- Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton 1 month ago:
It sounds like you want the best of all worlds
If you want cheap rent and all that, the solution is to buy, not to buy
Yes, it requires more responsibility, but that’s life.
- Comment on Labor's home batteries policy could help people who will never take it up. Here's how | Adam Morton 1 month ago:
So what’s your solution then for rentals?
You complain if they put incentives to stop buying multiple properties and increase the availability to people who want to stop renting, you complain if they don’t?
Negative gearing mainly benefits wealthier people, and I know we had customers with 14+ houses they owned. They’re the main problem, because the more properties they buy, the bigger power they have over the market (monopolies).
There already is a first home owners grant which benefits first home buyers (I know, because I used it).
They need to add incentive for people to stop buying multiple properties, so more people can stop renting, and eliminating negative gearing could help with that.

As others have said, would be good to have it mandatory for investment properties (with less subsidy). But still not a bad thing to have it for property owners too. Every bit is needed… A better solution to rectify the rental situation is eliminate negative gearing.
That being said, I own my property and really looking forward to these changes. Home batteries were something I was considering (but was waiting for a rebate). I was also looking at new insulation too, as my neighbors have been f**king loud and there are too many dickheads on dirt bikes illegally traveling down my road (and wanted to reduce the noise in my house)
So, happy with these changes. If Greens can match them, I’ll be super happy with voting for them.
