Who was it, when public transport became readily accessible, who voiced his disapproval by saying, โ€œIt encourages the lower classes to move about.โ€?

I said Nup to the Cup years ago. Itโ€™s a cruel activity.
No office sweeps,
no tuxedo t-shirts or stupid hats, and definitely no waking up with a stranger and their bouncer partner.

A poodle is a dog Christopher Pyne was still a cabinet minister when he met with EY to discuss taking a job with the consultancy. There was no confusion about the purpose of the meeting.

Tony Windsor - Wikipedia

The independent Tony Windsor held New England for 12 years. A champion for integrity
Now, heโ€™s too woke for the humble folks who once supported him strongly.

Facts are stubborn things.

John Adams during his defence of the British soldiers in the 1770 Boston Massacre trial, stated, "Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.

Continually speaking over Sarah Ferguson, who kept right on with her questions, as Barnaby got redder and redder.
Why the people of New England vote for him, and apparently will continue to vote for him if he defects to PHON, beyond rational explanation.

โ€˜For every $100 of gas exported, Australia gets 43 centsโ€™: Unions open new tax battle The federal government this week overhauled its superannuation tax reforms. Now the union movement says it should radically overhaul taxes on gas exports.

So, Australia collects 43 cents per $100 of exported gas.

Qatar collects 46 DOLLARS per $100 of exported gas

And Norway collects 56 DOLLARS per $100 of exported oil

This is not just a piss take ... it's the out and out theft of our natural resources.

Stark contrasts in health of returning hostages Peter Slezak has been keeping a watching brief on the both harrowing and joyous scenes as prisoners and hostages from Palestine and Israel were freed this week. He has gathered sources for P&I readers and readers and observes the following.

Available evidence provides a stark contrast between the condition of Palestinians held in Israeli captivity compared to the Israelis under Hamas. #auspol #captiverelease #Israel

Blame and frame: How Chinese Australians are counted when blamed, discounted when needed We say we want to understand China. Then we glance past a million Chinese speakers at home and start counting somewhere else.

Some of our media and political elites may need a gentle reminder: multiculturalism isnโ€™t just something we clap for at footy grand finals, Chinese New Year parades, or swing through during campaign stops in Box Hill and Hurstville. #auspol #chinathreat

An aussie YouTuber has been testing supervised full self driving under various conditions in Sydney. It is remarkably accurate. It handles intersections well. It required intervention in roadworks on a particularly blocked road. Otherwise it performed well.
