  So I kind of want to split it halfway between you two: The reason all the regulation exists is because of how dangerous it is, the reason Nuclear is so expensive and time consuming is because of regulation. I reckon you could basically make a super dangerous Nuclear plant for not much more than a coal plant and in the same time frame. So, you could say it like “nuclear is too time consuming and expensive to be relevant”, or “nuclear is too dangerous to be relevant” and they’re both basically saying the same thing.

  It’s still a dangerous spot though. The LNP votes will doubtless (largely) flow through to Labor. If enough people are spooked with the Greens housing policy, then the preference flows might not be as favourable.

  I have a full fat rack, but I’d like to adapt the 10" onto it, is there some sort of adapter thingie to maybe go two-wide?

  There’s still a pay-off time. For inter-city travel where the distance is long or the usage is low, it might be worth doing this, if only in the short term.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New data reveals thousands of Australians who own 10 rentals or more⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re using “Mr Kumar” as an example here, but this story goes back a long way. Huge parts of the wealthy northern suburbs, and prime real estate near the most popular beaches in Sydney are held by a handful of people. They bought this property a long time ago, but the “newer” property investors are basically working off that template. You can actually walk around those suburbs and find a bunch of empty properties. They don’t care about the rent, they prefer to show as little income as possible. They just want the capital gains when they sell. Often these people are retired and can get significant tax concessions.

  The “newer” investors are doing this but with properties which are much cheaper. They do it like a job or a business. It’s not healthy for the country either, but it’s actually less of a rort than the institutional wealth in this country.
