We've had self cleaning toilets for decades though? Still cheaper to pay someone to clean a normal toilet in most cases.

Having now been to a few gener-neutral bathrooms I have no issue with them and can't see why people would; I guess if people like leaving the door open when they're in a stall it might be weird but if that's the case there's a whole bunch of other weirdness to look at first...

The Greens want to legislate to give casuals and employees on successive fixed-term contracts who have been in a workplace for more than 12 months a right to request secure and ongoing work. Employees whose request for permanent work is refused would be able to ask the Fair Work Commission to order their employer to give them a permanent full-time or part-time job. The Greens’ policy would also allow unions and employer organisations to apply to the commission for orders that prospective employees, casual employees or those on rolling contracts be given permanent work.

Why not have adult and child bathrooms instead. Separation based on age rather than gender.

Toilet-chat: Why not have individual/completely closed off and concealed toilets that any gender can use? Won't that please everybody? Bike-chat: Cyclists and motorists (and sometimes even pedestrians) can all be arseholes to each other. The real solution is for everybody to stop being wankers. Bike lanes are only good if people use them btw. Uber-chat: I have gotten a much better service from Uber than I ever have from a normal taxi. That said, that doesn't mean anybody should ignore their lovely business practices. Perhaps the competition will force taxi companies to lift their game and we'll end up with a better taxi industry after everything settles.  60minutes-chat: A lot of people I've spoken to about this have reacted from mild disinterest to "isn't the father the REAL kidnapper?". I can only imagine the reaction if a Lebanese news crew funded a child kidnapping in Australia, it wouldn't take long for it to be labelled terrorism. Do we know much about the background to this case? Did the mother ever try and get custody legally before hiring international child abductors?

The problem is cars use bike lanes more than bikes do. Driver culture in Brisbane especially is that bikes are not legitimate vehicles and for wankers therefore get off the road maaaaate.

Using bike lanes in Brisbane sucks rear end because most of therm have no yellow line so cars just park in them and it boggles the mind why this hasn't been fixed.

Driver culture in Brisbane especially is that bikes are not legitimate vehicles and for wankers therefore get off the road maaaaate. Same issue in Perth. I guess my point was that, in my experience, as someone who drives, cycles and walks, everyone breaks traffic laws frequently. Having 1 bike block a single lane of traffic because they don't want to use bike paths/lanes is a legitimate problem and so are the 5 motorists who shout at him and almost run him over trying to get around him. Everyone should just take a chill pill and be courteous to each other. We recently had a public safety campaign about bikes with the slogan "If you don't see him/neither will his family" which is good, but I don't think it addresses the problem. Just run ads that instruct people on the law and what they should be doing to avoid hitting each other (i.e. "Turning vehicles MUST give way to pedestrians", "Don't cross double white lines", "Give cyclists lots of room when you overtake them" etc.)

Yeah, motorists will drive really close to cyclists either deliberately because they're arseholes or accidentally because they have no peripheral vision. One of the reasons why I don't really cycle is because I'm in no mood to be killed by some hick in a ute with a Bundaberg Rum bumper sticker. Actually, I know someone who wears a leather glove and punches off people's side mirrors when they do that. Probably costs them $100 and they're unlikely to do it again but I'm nowhere near that confrontational personally

Someone who accidentally drives too close to a cyclist because they were in his blind spot, gets his mirror punched off is likely to just start growing a "gently caress cyclists" attitude. And even if they're more conscious of cyclists in the future, they're more likely to deliberately drive aggressively because of that one time a wanker broke off his mirror.

Yeah, I wasn't really advocating that. But until bike lanes are largely separated by some kind of physical divide like a concrete lip or a fence I'm personally not going to feel that safe riding around.

On top of Eddie Obeid Channel Nine approached underworld figure Mick Gatto and his business partner John Khoury as part of a plan to secure the freedom of Tara Brown and the 60 Minutes crew. They were really loving desperate, holy poo poo "quick how many loving members of organised crime can we call in favours on"
