and it is doubtful that the vast majority of cars travel more than 50km/day, on average. tradies go to a job and stay there, driving around cuts into profits. Couriers and buses travel further but are well within cooee of a recharge station or battery exchange. There are some, maybe a few in the country who would travel more than 200km/day. These outliers are the ones who need diesel but would be a small minority.

I'm not sure your rants ever reach the giddy heights of an opinion.

just tell them you have a gut problem and you have to drink mineral water. That will allow you to spend all afternoon down at the rowing club admiring the harbour and the flights overhead heading to mascot. You don't get drunk, you don't gain weight, you don't stuff up your diabetes, you don't fart and your mouth doesn't taste like the bottom of a cocky's cage.

Good drunks are well practised in camouflaging their addiction and intoxication. Just because they appear sober doesn't mean they are not drunk.

OME, you have to stop this practise of wandering around castrating mosquitoes!

did they reduce the pension when the price of milk got reduced to $1/litre? The price of milk goes into CPI and pensions are linked to the CPI or better.

Hi Bruce, What brand (and specs), please. Cheers.

Fly over Singleton - very big holes there which would make landfill sites. I doubt that the NSW (or even Cth.) has binding laws, licences or agreements in place to force mining companies to remediate. Much easier to flog the company off to the Cayman islands and walk away.

Chinese recycling companies looking for a government handout, I would imagine.

The Aboriginal pharmacopoeia didn't have preventatives against gunshot wounds, poison, grog or refined sugar and flour either.

List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions - Wikipedia If China wanted to increase their per capita emissions to equal Australia or USA its total greenhouse emissions would be enormous. There is a moral obligation on the US and Australia to reign in their per capita emissions to at least that of Europe or even China. I lived in Newcastle for a while. We once (only once) left a window open. BHP never offered to clean to house, the furniture or the washing as their compensation for the foul pollution they were dumping through the house and the rest of Newcastle..

It was cruelled by the way Howard conducted it and because the direct election people got into bed with the monarchists to kill it off. The direct election peoples attitude was "our way or the highway" - I think they taught Dutton, Kelly, Abbott, Christiansen et al how to dummy spit when they don't get their own way.

WOT? petrol is in liters and pounds/New Pence. all currency is in Pounds/New Pence. All the holes in the wall are in Pounds. Are you sure that you were in the same UK that I was (and 80 million brits)

"Lunatics in the EU", The EU holding all the cards, that wouldn't make them lunatics in my books! Farage and the Lunatics from Brexit have slunk off and are unable to offer anything other than occasional claquing.

It doesn't impact Mosman much but there is a cruise terminal at Balmain that the government refuses to rig up with decent power so the ships keep the power generators going to provide shipboard power. I'm not sure if they have moved to low sulphur fuel. The local electorate is held by the greens, unlikely to be won by the LNP, so is at the end of a single finger salute from the government. Mosman is a coalition seat.

Caloundra is near Sunshine coast and is under the 4500 step. A good asphalt strip and the Queensland Aviation Museum is across the road.

Victoria was always known as the murder state, even before the Morans turned up. Searching for the mote while ignoring the log helps out no-one.

the Victorian Liberals are suffering from the Qld disease - It is someone else's fault and we are plotting against them. The NSW issue is an attempt to wind back some of the excesses of the Bob Carr Labor Party which insisted that the local pub should have 24 hour trading and become a casino - without consideration of or agreement by the nearby residents - vomit on your street smash, up your car, scream your booze fuelled demons to the moon at 4am - sure, why not. The nanny staters in NSW want some of this rubbish rolled back. The Liberal Party is NSW run? They have to be joking, the liberal party seems to be run by right wing idealogues and nutters everywhere other than NSW (we do however have that cuddly Tony Abbott)

That's the trouble with justice in Oz. The NAZI getting to the judiciary to pervert the course of justice.

Your statement " Female version "If you were a carpenter" sung by Joan Baez. Same error. " is incorrect. Cheers.

Are you sure that "were" is not the second person past tense of "to be"? There are many irregular forms in English and quite a few continue to be propped up by silly things like spelling competitions. Samuel Johnson, you have much to be ashamed about.

Weight is the thing that kills roads

You get around. Enjoy the trip.

The Lutheran Church is once again considering Women in the Ministry. It is always interesting seeing how many authoritative sources get trotted out to prop up one argument or another.

Dear Neal, it wasn't coal power that delivered the first (white) fleet to this wide brown land, it was wind power.
