But what is America without US? /s

I’d rather chill in the spirit world. Maybe spend a few years lost in the fog of lost souls, go hang with Hei Bai, attack some rando’s cause someones been breakin trees, end most nights catching up on some reading at Wan Shi’s library. I’d avoid the face stealer, cause that ones a dick! Probably drop in on Iroh once in a while for an injection of wisdom in my life.

Spirit world is where its at.

Not sure what you mean, but its Wine Australia doing leadership workshops down in Margaret River region.

But, judging by the downvotes, i’m not sure people are lovin the wine industry news lol :p

Maybe its supposed to be, “Out with the teapot in with the mug”?

The sitting areas nice and airy though

Well then. I take it this the official ideas portal.

I vote they put a lemmy helicopter pad there, for bicycle tricks to be preformed on, with a bee hotel on the edge.

Whats going in there instead?

If you don’t like guns, lets use a metaphor and imagine you’re a golfer

Probably best to stick to guns without the metaphors.

Hard to find an apples to apples comparison. The damage a gun can do is uniquely unequal, while the products still having a societal purpose, to anything else i can think of.

This is a reason the Coalition have structured themselves in the way they have. As a mostly Liberal/National partnership, allied by a secret contract. It allows them to play to their respective bases, and as a unit, to constantly speak out of both sides of their mouth. Unfortunately the rise of the teals, and continuing denial of the climate reality have seriously damaged the Liberal/National electability in this area.

As @Mountaineer says, voter dissatisfaction on many specific points like this one is why a lot of minor parties have gained traction over the last quarter century.

Labor on the otherhand is supposed to represent workers, which is such a broad segment of society that they’ve never needed to form alliances to have the potential voter numbers to have a real chance of forming government before an election.

Labor just lost 31,000 votes next election.

Might be water off a ducks back at the moment, but my experiences with gun owners to date, (apart from one gun owner), is they’re uncomfortably fanatical about their guns. And belligerently oppose any demands they take higher precautions with the guns in their possession.

In short, they’ll remember this, the laws are passed, but acceptance of them isn’t.

Glad to see someone has mentioned this. Huge gains in time in the day for a huge part of the population.

Looks a nice sitting area.

Their logo looks a bit like the Carlton United Brewing logo.

Everytime i go for a walk i see something new that i haven’t noticed before.

Doing what to casual observater seems like the same thing over and over again, can actually be the process of developing a deeper understanding of the subject area than before, (in this case your local neighbourhood).

Hmm, gona have to think about a long term solution, but for now put something shiny in the next suburb over.

Yeah very true. I suppose those examples were just two fairly extreme examples.

‘Eames Silver Chair’

Haha, cheers on the cake day, i’d forgotten!

Thanks for the description of some of the terms. Stroad, that i’ve heard before, is good to read a little reminder on. I reckon parts of Orrong, and Canning roads in WA would be good candidates ecamples of Stroads.

I like you the term you use, ‘road diet’.

Is this something you’ve made up, or seen somewhere? In other words could you expand on the idea behind the term a bit more?

Bill Shorten appeared on Guardian’s Australian Politics podcast this weekend gone.

After an interesting discussion about the NDIS he addresses the speech writer controversy. I’s already convinced by some of the comments already posted here that this was a beat up, but Shorten also defends the appointment with direct explanations of the circumstances that i think is valuable. https://open.spotify.com/episode/6ybo7257DNrS6P8W2cVFVi?si=ZjGGLk-gRbaPQgPaLL6c3Q

I saw Costa at a gardening show, the man was in his element. Gardening show royalty as well, everybody there knew him. People walking past offering chips, sayin hi, great stuff.

I’ve heard they use google docs as the communication method at other radio stations as well. Must be because its such a flexible medium.
