Just tariff the shit out of Tesla and put any profits into other green / electrification initiatives.

If they escalate stop using tariffs to escalate.

Drop AUKUS, close pine gap etc

I now realise Denmark is part of a different electorate ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Disappointing...

Denmark has always felt like the Freo of Albany but I guess there's not really the numbers there to change anything.

Well there's always next time

I'm on the other side of this one.

If wealthy parents want to pay for an education that's fine but when more taxpayer money goes to private schools than public it feels a bit off.

Temporary increase in funding and long phase out would help mitigate the issue.

It's like the amount of money we put into subsidising private healthcare. I get why private exists and wouldn't want it to go away overnight but why not properly fund public instead.

I'm going to stop now before I go down the do things like Norway rabbit hole

Isn't that the nutjob homophobe one?

I'm a little surprised. Didn't think Albany would go for him

That is a lot of social!

Sounds like a worthy salad. Toasted nuts are my favourite salad improver.

Wouldn't say it's felt hotly contested, almost the opposite. Like labor hasn't bothered to campaign hard or present much of a plan

Same feeling for the other parties though so maybe I'm just not paying attention

Managed a quarry climb with some friends on the Monday public holiday

Saw a cute owl

What'd you all get up to on the long weekend?

I find it depends on the show.

There's some that use a set formula and you can tell if it's your cup of tea pretty early.

For example:

X's a cop but y's...

The Devil

Immortal

A robot

A zombie

A serial killer

A cannibal

But some other shows might take longer to get into and figure out if they're for you due to complexity or number of characters.

I think Sense8 or The Expanse would be a good example of that

Generally yes, but occasionally there's other minors worth preferencing above the majors.

In this case it was just deciding how to preference the batshitters.

That's better than most of what I've come across. Lower house is easy enough for my seat but I'd prefer to vote for minor parties or independents who align with my views before the majors in the upper house.

So hard to find policy on that stuff.

I see there's a stop pedophiles protect kiddies grouping which nobody would be against but no party link, single issue and that's probably just a misleading name to hate on the LGBT+ community.

Wish more election funding went to providing voters with useful info instead of spamming the electorate with mugshot posters

Most of our citizens... Probably.

Spineless Government... Probably not.
