"A chart is a chart" doesn't cut it. Any fool can stick some numbers on a chart, look at Trump with his "liberation day" tariff chart. As Octave says - stick to reputable data sources. PS I just got back from Vietnam, if you think you're safer on the roads there, you're kidding yourself.

Well, I'm celebrating a weekend without the family at an airshow (if my flight ever leaves, was originally scheduled for 8:35 and is now estimated to be 10:05). I rode in this morning and left the bike at an off-site parking area near the airport. Half the price of a car, so works out cheaper than catching the skybus. Fairly cold but nothing like Jerry puts up with - I haven't got heated grips though! Hopefully will catch up with Nev there - if you're reading this Nev, you have my number. Looking forward to it - sad to hear of the Spitfire doing a wheels-up landing there, hope pilot is ok and the bird doesn't have too much damage.

Do Shahed drones come in gold?

I think you answered your own question...

Basically, if you see something that said Pauline did something that benefited someone other than Pauline, it's false.

You may also remember Tony Abbott's "$100 lamb roasts", and Scummo's "EV's will kill the weekend". Any hyperbole from politicians should be taken with a grain of salt, as should election promises.

This reminds me that Oscar Pistorius, also a sporting champion and double amputee, shot and killed someone. So, like the people who say trans people are more likely to murder someone, I must conclude that multiple amputees who are good at any sport are highly likely to be shooting murderers...

It's a yellow jerry can (not you Jerry) so the caption should say "diesel".

You still have to watch out for the occasional bike-hater who moves towards the line when you're filtering. Thankfully they're rare. I've found the fairly loud engine rumble from my bike is usually an advantage when doing this, as the cars know you're there and the nice ones pull over a bit to give you more space.

Motorbikes are designed to travel at 100kph (or a lot more). Every component is a lot more heavy duty than something the size of a bicycle. Then consider controllability with tiny handlebars, ineffective brakes and suspension. I think banning something where you can't see the difference between a legal version and an illegal one would be very difficult to enforce.

If this were a member of Labor or the LNP you could hear the usual suspects frothing about the "corrupt major parties". Yep she's just an honest Aussie battler, isn't she!

No, we don't need massive change. Massive change is disruptive and hurts many people. Unintended consequences are greater in size and impact. Australia is a well functioning democracy. Are there things we can improve? Definitely. Are massive changes required? No.

As bad as complacency is, One nation is worse. Trump is a protest vote. Look how that's going.
