Already sent in the appeal. Twats.

Okay, my gripe for the day. Some brainless, mentally deficient parking inspector slapped a ticket on my car, purportedly for parking in excess of the time allowed. Only trouble is, I was parked in an area which has NO time restrictions between 9:30am and 4:30pm. Talk about unable to do your job, when you can't even read the parking signs...

Not to be that guy, but you could get yourself in trouble photographing women without their permission.

If private investors won't touch it then it's not profitable. If it's not profitable it means that it won't give a reasonable rate of return on current power prices, which means either prices would be higher, or the government will use taxpayer money to subsidize it.

The alternative is worse. If for example you surprise a skinny harmless person who thought the house was empty and was either stealing or looking for somewhere to sleep... I don't think someone who kills a person like that should be exempt from prosecution.

If a gang with machetes or guns invades your property now, and you are in fear of your life or your family's lives, and in your proportionate response to the threat you kill one (or all) of the invaders, I'm pretty sure you are already protected under the law, from criminal prosecution anyway.

On ABC now too. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-16/actor-and-activist-robert-redford-dies-aged-89/105781564

Nah, those pricks would collapse half of the CBD, poison Port Phillip and then charge the taxpayer to clean up their mess.

The opposite. Our economy depends on transitioning. We have the most sun and coastline of pretty much any country on earth. The only people who gain from not doing anything are people like Gina and Clive. And they'll be dead before the worst impacts of inaction hit.

Jaysus, how much Wolfie have you had?? But having deciphered your post, I think the Nats and half of the Libs think it's a conspiracy theory, but anyone with a brain doesn't.

I used to want to go to the USA. Not now.

Fox are a symptom of its sickness. I guess every empire crashes and burns eventually.

Who are they?

No shit.

I like the last sentence. Makes perfect sense!

I want to know what the facial expressions are all about.

Many people have already lost their jobs because they posted comments - some of them way out of line, others just logical - about this. The hypocrisy is astounding. I don't remember any right wing nut jobs getting fired for celebrating the deaths of the recent Democrat murders, the politician's husband who was bashed with a hammer, etc etc. Yet one right wing pusher of drivel gets killed and you'd think he was Jesus. Now the mad bastards on the conservative side are out for blood and revenge. I'd hate to be a normal person in the USA right now. If you haven't seen "Civil War", watch it. I reckon it's about to come true.

The more I read about this Kirk bloke the less I like him. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-12/assassinated-right-wing-influencer-charlie-kirk-views/105766340 This is the quote I'd heard about. "I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."

Not checking rooftops seems to be a theme. While no one deserves to be shot (although I wouldn't shed any tears if Trump copped one), there is some irony that he was apparently pushing a very pro-gun line and one of his views was that yes, there will be extra deaths from gun violence, but it's worth it. What really gave me cold shivers was Trump's response. Can't remember it word for word but it was along the lines of "There are a lot of left-wing lunatics. They're terrible. And we're going to do something about that." So without knowing who fired the shot or what his motivation was (remember he's not necessarily a pissed-off Democrat - apparently the guy that tried to shoot Trump was just doing it for the notoriety, didn't give a shit about the politics) - Trump has already decided it must be ideological, and he's going to clamp down on the "left wing lunatics". I see more stupid, democracy-wrecking actions by Trump in the future. He's already looking like a tin-pot dictator, now he will really try to make the USA an authoritarian christian state with him as supreme leader. Don't forget he fully supported Bolsonaro in Brazil, who has just been found guilty of plotting a coup and planning to kill the actual elected president. He loves (other) right-wing, authoritarian nut job dictators.

All religions are fake.

Hmm. Toilet bowls are white, oval, and sometimes have massive shits in them too.

Who's going to return the favour?

I laughed when he drew a correlation between the name and their success in war - apparently the US won every war up to and including WWII because it was named the "Department of War", and lost every war since because they changed it. Kind of like comparing the release dates of Nicholas Cage movies with spikes in swimming pool death rates. There are clear similarities, but Nick is not to blame.
