Then don't get an electric car if it doesn't suit you. If town is only 80km away why would you have to charge there? Even if it being all uphill used twice as much charge as usual, that's only 160km and obviously you'd use half as much charge going downhill, so another 40km makes 200 for your round trip. Most EVs have a range of 450 or more so just charge at home.

GON, under what law would any government "throw out" Australian citizens born in Australia?

I think governments around the world are keenly aware that standing up to Trump is politically popular. If Trump ramps up the rhetoric against Australia I reckon Albo will start being less restrained in response. At the moment it's only Andrew Hastie that publicly speaks common sense about Trump - I'm sure a lot of his sentiments are shared widely around the parliament but at the moment they're not done in front of the press.

Watch the 2024 movie "Civil War" - I think it's a possibility there. I just hope that as a society we can learn lessons from the horrible shit Trump and his puppet masters are causing over there.

Nobody gets it right 100% of the time, but the ABC are head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to accuracy.

What a pathetic loser. Imagine being in the most powerful office on the planet and still being so insecure you have to build gaudy oversized edifices in your own honour. Definitely compensating for an awful lot.

Nope. That's a balanced news organisation which actually fact checks.

Feel free to point out when a journalist actually has worked for a solar panel or wind turbine manufacturer for 2 years.

I'm not an economist either but I think it's intended to suppress demand. The basic idea is that forcing people to pay more on their home loan leaves less money for other things (yes I know - like food and medical costs) so demand across the economy goes down, supply remains the same, so this is meant to push prices down. That's what I think anyway - happy to be corrected by someone who actually knows.

Maybe it's a cunning plan to stop despairing intelligent people from fleeing the US.

He wants his face and name everywhere. Some future Democrat government will have a lot of cleaning up to do.

I didn't watch it, but read the fact checking of it. What an example of terrible journalism. Unsurprising though given the presenter previously worked for Shell.

Kimmel, Stewart, Myers and Colbert are about the only sane voices on US tv.

I look forward to the day when this thread can be merged with the "well known celebrities who have passed away" thread. But in related news - now Gina thinks that immigrants social media should be screened. Wonder where she got that idea? https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/apr/27/gina-rinehart-immigrant-social-media-screening-anzac-day-sydney-opera-house-ntwnfb

I'm sure you were, but if you just read this sentence "...when I was a cop and was depositing seized drug money at my local bank" It gives a different impression...
