The main point is to disentangle those lines from the city loop. That way more services can be run and since the lines will be independent a problem on one line won’t bring down the entire network any more.

If it’s peaceful it’s peaceful. When I check the dictionary under “peaceful” it doesn’t say anything about business.
This was a really interesting bit of history. Thanks Philip.
At what point do Labor realise “Are we the baddies?”
More time to do what exactly? Soft plastics are effectively unrecyclable. There are no commercial scale recycling plants in Australia which can recycle soft plastics. And even if we did build them the depolymerisation process which soft plastics require takes so much energy it’d be more environmentally sound to landfill it anyway.
The whole thing’s a mess and really the only solution is to stop producing as much soft plastics.
I work in software and we’re permanently work from home. (I don’t want to name my employer but they’re a medium sized company)
Even more interesting is how all of Geelong is excluded from Melbourne’s count when Gosford’s included in Sydney’s count, despite neither place being continuously connected to the larger city, Geelong being closer to Melbourne than Gosford is to Sydney, and Geelong having just as large a proportion of daily commuters as Gosford.
The reality is that Melbourne’s population outpaced Sydney a long time ago and the boundaries are only just starting to catch up.
I’m literally one of those people who you say is vanishingly small.
It’s not even a “the world is bad and I don’t want to subject my child to that” kind of decision. It’s more like a series of thoughts over the years: “is this the right time to have a kid?” and it’s never a good time.
I did a double-take at “Australia’s biggest city” referring to Melbourne
It overtook Sydney about a year ago when the ABS revised the statistical areas: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-65261720
Based on these new boundaries Melbourne’s had a higher population than Sydney since 2018.
Why not start them off in the way you mean to continue? It’s not like there are any significant downsides.
Compulsory is such a good system. It doesn’t take long. It’s on a weekend so it’s not inconvenient. You get a sausage at the sausage sizzle and you do your vote. There’s a real holiday atmosphere. And it produces much more representative results. Brexit wouldn’t have happened if they had compulsory voting so there’s no denying it’s valuable.
Toyota really screwed up in deciding that Hydrogen was the energy of the future. Even when everyone else in the world went with electricity they persisted in their failed vision. It’s a shame that an otherwise great manufacturer should fall victim to such massive hubris but honestly I think their days are numbered as a major vehicle manufacturer.
There’s no chance that hydrogen’s going to be a long term success for them and with all their eggs in the one basket it looks like they’re dead men walking.
I expect to hear in a few years that Carlson has been on the payroll of the Russians for years.
I never thought to see the day that a former News Limited CEO was installed as head of the ABC by Labor. Surely they’ll regret this at the next election when the ABC becomes like another Fox News.
Nuclear is more expensive than renewables pretty much everywhere, and it’s getting more expensive while renewables get cheaper.
Not so “Top Secret” any more, now that it’s been in the news…
More than that, press criminal charges since they’re unlawful.
I’d call that not so much a victory as a sad indictment of planning that it ever happened in the first place.
Half an hour average to just get out of your estate? What a miserable way to live.
I’m curious about their definition of “lakes” here. Lake Eyre in Australia is an enormous salt pan. Once every few years when it rains in the desert it briefly becomes flooded. Does that make it a lake?
That Arden station facade is absolutely huge. But why? Why spend so much money on such a large facility when the Paris metro gets by fine with only using this much space. It just feels like it’s more inconvenient for the users since they have to walk an extra couple of hundred metres for no good reason. And it looks unnecessarily expensive both in building costs and real estate when a smaller entrance would do just fine.
