Not surprised at all. Landlords should also be passing on savings via rent decreases. Bet they don't.

I bought a new EV. I don't regret it. There simply isn't a large number of near new EVs available yet in the region where I live.

What do you suggest? Detached low density housing? We need fast solutions that give people security and a roof over their head.

I'd reckon that having one of these to stay in beats sleeping rough.

Well I disagree. One is more than likely going to be PM. Let's not go back.

Only one of them is a piece of shit though. They are not the same.

Whoever people vote for, put the LNP last in preferences.

The last thing Australia needs is to accidentally elect a Dutton LNP Govt.

The best way for a tourist to see the USA is from the Canada side of Niagara falls.

It cost us over 3 billion for the French deal stuff up. Aukus thin air will cost a lot more.

Renewables are easy now. Fusion research will continue.Why waste billions on nuclear that isn't needed. We have no nuclear industry or skilled workers. We can't even mine uranium safely.

What about when the uranium runs out?

We're all DEVO.

And droughts.

The LNP are Dud’s, headed by the Chief Dud Dutton. Don’t vote for their no plans except enriching the fossil fuel industry and free lunches for rich corporate executives. Everything that is wrong with our society comes from such as these. Leaners and tax dodging cheaters. #LNPNeverAgain #auspol

Put LNP last.

Coalition’s nuclear plan would consume an extra Sydney Harbour’s worth of water a year, Labor says New analysis warns of serious implications for water supply given nuclear plants consume 1.4 times more than coal-fired power stations

“LNP’s plan replace coal-fired power stations with nuclear power plants require 508,000 megalitres, the equivalent of Sydney Harbour – each year.” https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/feb/12/coalitions-nuclear-plan-would-consume-an-extra-sydney-harbours-worth-of-water-a-year-labor-says

Mr Dutton & Coalition don't value the work done by public servants in CBR & around 🇦🇺

Cutting 36k public servants would be bad for veterans, aged care recipients, ppl on NDIS & everyone else benefiting from valuable govt services.

Outsourcing the public service is not cheaper.

In this term the #Albo Labor Govt has delivered the largest investment in bulk-billing, made medicines cheaper & grown the number of GPs and nurses working right across the country. Also 87 fully bulk billed Medicare Urgent Care Clinics n 61 Medicare Mental Health Centres #auspol

Blow up the pokies. Mostly owned by our price gouging supermarket duopoly.

Well she definitely stole the show and probably helped Rupert's sales while enabling a good old Albo bash. Has anyone mentioned MND since?

Hardly criticism. She was smiling and the hosts were smiling. Hopefully Rupert wasn't smiling.

Mainstream media fails to mention positive Labor policies - Pearls and Irritations 2025 Australian politics, an all-important election year, began on a high with a host of initiatives taking effect from January 1.

My latest. The Albanese govt's reforms are not being given the credit they deserve. The focus group-driven mantra of a ‘do nothing’ govt cannot be sustained if our erstwhile political commentators bothered to look at what the govt has actually done #auspol johnmenadue.com/mainstream-m...

I was just making the point that nuclear power will take a long time to establish in Australia. Our politicians want us to believe ridiculous timeframes. Solar is available to install today.

If by today you mean twenty years time.

At least she can smile with this one.
