Anybody calling for reduced immigration should be required to elicit *exactly* what they'd cut. Do the maths, present the numbers. Returning citizens? New Zealanders? Students? Family/partners who have been on up to decade long waiting lists? Skills shortages like doctors?

So something very unique about the long distance trains in China - you can order food from restaurants in the stations along the way and they'll deliver it to the platform, when the train stops the attendants will take it and bring it to your seat.

Boomer logic: 1. Get access to vaccines earlier than anybody else 2. Spend months whinging about choice of vaccine 3. Finally begrudgingly take the vaccine that other people in the developing world were screaming out for. 4. WHY CAN'T I HAVE MY BOOSTER YET

How was this clown an elected Premier of our third biggest state? Does he actually think that investors (mostly super funds and institutional investors) are selling Woolworths shares based on them not selling Australia Day merch lol?

People are cancelling restaurant bookings in Melbourne too and we have less cases, masks in shops, vaxx policies and QR codes. Only reason people aren't going out is because they don't want to be pinged before Christmas. Nothing to do with the restrictions.

What's not in the headline: The employee was a deadheading pilot and had they flown in economy they likely would not have been able to fly as per pretty standard rules. Headline makes it sound like it's some desk jockey lol.

The most reputable study on masks showed an 11% reduction in transmission for surgical masks and NO reduction for cloth masks. Get that masks are relatively low impact and I'll happily wear one when required, but it's honestly insane how it's the hill people are dying on.

It's incredible that people can look at Omicron outbreaks around the world and deduce that the problem in NSW could easily be solved with making masks and QR codes mandatory again. We had over 100 days of lockdown and it didn't stop the spread of Delta.

The only reason we're at 6 and not 1 is our own policy, nobody actually thinks we're of bigger risk than the countries above us but too many other countries look at us with our very strict tourist visa rules and act in reciprocal by refusing us visa free access.

@belyndar @JulianBurnside What evidence do you have that Musk has prevented unions? Tesla employees are paid more than UAW workers and they get stock options. Tesla is the most desirable company to work for in the world. So much BS flying around about Musk and Tesla.

I did the maths. The excise on a pint of 4.5% beer has gone up 1.5 cents. On a slab of 4.5% 375ml bottles, 30 cents. Can we stop losing our goddamn minds now please? Talk about who the wowsers are.

AIDS is not long HIV, stop the insanely bad and scientifically inaccurate comparisons. Long covid most likely *is* very similar to other post viral syndromes like people get after mono, flu, polio, etc. It's not *new*, what's new is people actually giving a fuck.

Everything u think you know about polio is “long polio.” MS is “long mono.” AIDS is “long HIV.” Viruses are nothing to fuck with, unless you want to find out.

The ease at which a lot of people have lately jumped to "immigration is too high" rather than "the density of our cities is way too low" is seriously depressing for the future.

How old is Taylor Swift and how old are the members of the Scomo family if the first Taylor Swift concert they attended as a family was in 1989? Or is that just more Scomo mathematics a la his Robodebt scheme?

I see a lot of praise for Vancouver SkyTrain, it does seem to be a pretty cool system with great frequency and service, but compared to Australian train networks it is absolutely incomparable for coverage. It's literally 3 lines with a total of 50 odd stations.

@hutcho66 @Jonathan_Nolan_ I have also always seen Brisbane & Vancouver as very similar cities, but one has few freeways, better PT and lower car ownership. It also has a variety of interesting neighbourhoods.
