- Comment on Australia has a $127,000 housing affordability question 4 days ago:
I don’t agree its complicated, demand is never the problem, it’s always and only supply and that’s a reflection of poor governance…So fuck voters for electing and reelecting neoliberal shit bags making sure its only ever made worse, particularly hypocritical Labor . At least the LNP wear their greed and disdain on thier sleeves, similarly with Climate Change.
It’s like suggesting a lack of food is a demand problem
Orwell wrote this about British Labour 80 yeaea ago and it applies today to them as well as the ALP .
All left-wing parties in the highly industrialized countries are at bottom a sham, because they make it their business to fight against something which they do not really wish to destroy. They have internationalist aims, and at the same time they struggle to keep up a standard of life with which those aims are incompatible. We all live by robbing Asiatic coolies, and those of us who are ‘enlightened’ all maintain that those coolies ought to be set free; but our standard of living, and hence our ‘enlightenment,’ demands that the robbery shall continue.
- Comment on Mapping Australia by the Nearest City with a Population of 100,000 or More 4 days ago:
The GPO was the location for Main Roads Departments eg when it says 25 km to Ingham, they mean to the main Post Office. Well it was back when I worked for Qld Main Roads in the 1980s as a Surveyor. I forget the designated names for post offices, I think GPO was the main one in each town and PO was other branches ?
Of course when it says 25km to X and X has no PO I can’t remember what they used ?
That might be of zero consequence to the ABS or this map.

- Comment on Australians are moving to Tasmania to escape climate change, but the island state is not immune 2 weeks ago:
Yes as did SE.Qld in the “rainforest” that burned.
Dont be there is the key,
As the artcle says everywhere is effected, its just some places are worse then others.
Like the couple interviewd, he couldn’t work outdoors in SE.Qld anymore, it was already unlivable
I left far North Qld 15 years ago for the same reason.
- Comment on Australians are moving to Tasmania to escape climate change, but the island state is not immune 2 weeks ago:
That makes no sense. Its like not living on a flood plain and others choose to
Sure everyone is suffering but at least you’re not wading through a metre of water from a storm surge you were told years aho was going to happen and you moved inland and up on a hill and otjers said “well, it’s like moving to the edhe of the pan to escape the heat…we’ll just stay here on the flood plain!”
You make it sound like its a instanteous thing.and its everywhere all at once.
I left Far NQ 15 years ago because it was unlivable then.

- Comment on Hit-run driver Jake Danby spared jail time by NT Supreme Court after describing victim as an 'oxygen thief' 3 weeks ago:
members of the Australian public were asked if sentences were too lenient. The same question was asked of jurors from the actual court case. The results were that the public was far more likely to have the opinion that a sentence was too lenient where as the jury was more likely to believe it was appropriate. Normally considering this helps me take a step back from being outraged; Those who are closer to the case have considerations that aren’t making the paper.
I agree and havw read the same, I rarely comment or post about such things for that reason. This wasn’t a jury case though, he plead guilty
This case has to be an exception though.
Indeed and why I posted about it. Shocking as it would have been If the.dude had hit them and killed him but if he’d stooped amd rendered assistance but this … this is next level
In the hours after the crash, Danby sent a series of text messages to his friends in which he called the victims “dogs”, “n*****s” and “oxygen thieves” and boasted about the collision.
“Nah c***, I’m on a come down for work, I ain’t stoppin’ for no one,” he wrote in one message.
"It was pretty funny watching them roll around on the road after going over my bonnet and through my windscreen
This update has some reasons given as well as the family being upset by it all
www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-18/…/105787700
The family of an Aboriginal man run down and killed by a hit-and-run driver in Darwin last year have voiced their “disgust and dismay” at the lack of a prison sentence for the offender
From the judge
In sentencing Danby, NT Supreme Court Justice Sonia Brownhill described the texts as “shockingly callous”.
She accepted Danby had shown remorse since the incident and had good prospects for rehabilitation due to his young age, lack of criminal history, and strong employment record.
NAAJA chair Theresa Roe said in a statement the messages were “racist and dehumanising”.
There is little to suggest the offender’s racist attitudes have been reformed, despite the immense harm for Aboriginal communities across the NT caused by such attitudes."
I can only agree mith Ms. Roe.
