  @ApaulD So in the budget he wasn't going to have will the government finally stop subsidising fossil fuels? #AusPol #ClimateCrisis

  @HardBeingGreen @luciedigitalni When it's official then the "Australian Government" informational ads have to stop, the incumbent government can't use official duties excuses to have the taxpayer pay for travel, etc., and the political parties have to spend their own money. With lower party member counts (& so fewer volunteers) toI suspect official campaigns will never be as long as they once were.

  @jessicaperthwa.bsky.social VFL/AFL (aerial ping-pong) is not football ⚽😉

  @fixatedpersonsunit @Jplonie Yes but if you repeatedly did that like pollies try to rort expenses... and they don't even get charged in the 1st place.

  @erstwhile Yes, as the US government has decided to renege on its promises (including Donold's revised version of NAFTA), then no one has to keep any promises made to the USA either.

  @jhaue 2100... the number of the notes that'll actually be in use? (Australia's use of cash has declined dramatically in the past decade)

  @Old_IT_geek @MsDropbear42 Google have crippled it in Chrome, but uBO still works fully in Firefox.

  @Old_IT_geek @HardBeingGreen I thought appealing to people's racism was the point, and like a large number of fools who voted for Trump, many would later be surprised when new laws are used against them, not just the particular 'other' they had in mind before the election.

  @arstechnica The rear right quarter panel isn't just trim. It could kill people.

  @mlanger @arstechnica 46 000 is about 0.01% of the US population - sounds about right.

  @Old_IT_geek @DropBear @Salvo Like many religious people, they like *some* of that & conveniently ignore what they don't like (in this case ignoring the high marginal tax rates)

  @Gracchus Unaffordable housing & now insurance (thanks to fossil fuel companies) + the fascist regime now in the USA deliberately putting up tariffs seem like good reasons to avoid sending money to the USA.

  @Corsair_of_time 32 km/h, meanwhile 30 km/h has been standard in much of Europe for well over a decade. Australia should both reduce suburban streets to 30 km/h and raise motorway/highway limits to 130 km/h (or more where roads are suitable or can be made suitable). Australia needs higher speed limits for the long distances between cities, but lower ones in streets people live in, children may walk/play in, etc.

  @climatenews.bsky.social Yeah, didn't he say (on his government's anti-encryption law) something like the laws of mathematics may be fine, but here the laws of Australia are supreme? 🤪
