“People think that fuel excise pays for roads, but it doesn’t,” says Alison Reeve, at the Grattan Institute. According to the Parliamentary Budget Office, less than 6% of the fuel excise the government collects goes into a special account for states and territories to spend on road infrastructure.

Ternie sanders the tern with floofy hair
Albatrossia-Cortez an albatross with serious face
Ternie Sanders and Albatrossia-Cortez today:
Ternie: “We flew nonstop to be here today, and let us tell you: our wings are tired, but our souls are on fire!
They say the system is frozen. That nothing will change. But I’m here to tell you: THE ICE IS CRACKING, AND A MOVEMENT IS HATCHING! 1/3

Two downy little penguin chicks in a nest box. They are amazingly adorable.
The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is of… little penguins! Well, they are little penguin chicks. Little little penguins, as it were. Anyway, they are a few weeks old right now, and we’re pretty docile when we opened up their home to inspect today.

Merri Creek flowing through a deep valley. Stones are visible in the creek bed. There are trees along the banks.
Never tire of Merri Creek. A treasure in the heart of Melbourne.

Finally caught the #DrWho Christmas special. Loved it! And would love to hear the views of @dieworkwear.bsky.social on The Doctor’s outfit. Shape and drape looked good.

Four emperor penguins on the ice, the one on the left is very close and the other three are father in the background.
The #penguinpicoftheday #PPOTD is a couple of emperor penguins standing in the evening sun at Cape Crozier earlier this (austral) spring.
Crozier is beautiful but harsh and unforgiving. It’s an amazing place.

YouTube video by Metro Tunnel Project
We've started the final stage of the Metro Tunnel
This is such a good video on the Metro Tunnel that shows simply how much validation work is going on currently
Fascinating watch - bring on 20+ trains per hour “reliability growth running”!
