I too have mild astigmatism. I used glasses for about 4 years before trying contact lenses. Have been using contacts for 10 years now and i much prefer them.

"steal people's land" Sit down Baz, it's just a paid car storage area. It's hardly "the people's land" at present. If anything making it in to a public primary school is more for the people.

I'm sure if we keep voting for the Libor and Laberal parties they will eventually fix it right?

Maybe we need a car that is low and wedge shaped, like something from battlebots. When cars high off the ground run in to it they will be guaranteed to roll.

Looks like we are finally working towards a fuel efficiency standard.

Will be interesting to see what the final details are, especially the year at which manufacturers have to hit zero emissions, and if it's going to be a linear change to get there or otherwise.

No doubt legacy parts of the industry will be busy lobbying for their own interests instead of the planet's.

The problem is not that there isn't solutions, it's that there is zero political appetite to implement them.

Coalition math: Three times zero equals many more decades of fossil fuel lobby getting what they want.

Typical of this Labor govt, this policy is about appearing to do something, than actually doing it effectively.

Why not have levies for all houses sitting vacant, not just foreign owned? Why not make annual fees higher and higher if you own more than say 3 properties? How about fees for land banking in cities ?

Also better make sure that a house used for air BNB 2 weeks a year doesn't count as being used.

That's why we call those type of "bike lanes" a murder strip.

Have them where I live too.

I recently tried to get away from outlook as my primary email / calendar. Tried a couple of different providers only to discover just how reliant I am on having seamless calendar invites.

Manually attaching .ICS files to email was not going to cut it. No matter how good caldav is for my phone to desktop, I need to easily make events / respond to them.

Majority of people here descended from people who arrived well after the colonists. About a third of us were born overseas. Around half have a parent born overseas.

"The Greens political party are not interested in solving the problem at all...

Albanese was taking a jab at the Greens for making memes on social media about housing affordability in Australia.

That's some next level projection there. Labor's policies first and foremost seek to ensure housing continues to rise. They want to give the appearance of doing something to the media, while having no real impact.

Causing air pollution and having major population centres with terrible air quality.
