I made a formal report at the local police station earlier, regarding the vehicle that reversed into me and my motorbike yesterday.

I'm happy that the plates matched the description of the vehicle, and given it was a hit and run I'm hopefully, almost certain to be reimbursed for damages.

The plates were registered to an address in Ballarat... Maybe that explains why he was so uncooperative, possible UPF soldier??

On the reals, I'm quite happy that I memorised the plates correctly until I arrived where my exam was about to be underway.. what a loving day. I just hope I can get the money back for my destroyed tire and towing bills...

UPF dickheads managing to wreck quite a few days this week. At least you werent taking the train or trying to use the highway yesterday.

I was just joking regarding the UPF reference, but I DID say that because he looked just like the type of people who would call me a bleeding-heart lefty scuml0rd.

Anyway, gently caress that guy and gently caress the guy that abused you, too..

Thanks. Feeling much better today. I was a bit 'Ugh I shouldnt have smashed that phone' but today is 'Hey at least I smashed up that phone' :v:

Anyway, rip jobs and growth

quote:

The great unwinding of the once-in-a-century mining boom is only halfway through and another 50,000 jobs are still likely to be shed, according to the National Australia Bank.

NAB's research found that mining investment is currently more than halfway through the investment cycle, while employment is slightly below the half-way mark largely due to the labour intensity of the big LNG projects in Queensland and Western Australia.

"Our models suggest that mining investment is likely to fall by around 70 per cent from its current level over the next three years - implying that we are currently just over halfway down the mining investment 'cliff'," NAB head of Australian Economics Riki Polygenis said.

"We expect approximately 50,000 more mining jobs to be shed, which is expected to bottom out in the next two-and-half years," Ms Polgenis noted.

Mr Oakeshott, who retired as the member for Lyne in 2013 after backing the Gillard government in the last hung Parliament, will stand against Nationals MP Luke Hartsuyker in the safe NSW seat of Cowper.

Some sort of Independent Coalition that decided to gently caress the Nationals.

EDIT
With a record 151 candidates on the NSW Senate ballot paper, the Health Australia Party won the sought after first position. The party promotes natural medicine over prescription vaccines.

The Liberal Democratic Party won the favourable fourth column position in NSW, ahead of the Coalition in sixth and Labor at 14th.
Hmmm

And its still stupid, because its not like the LNP doesnt have a plethora of other walking talking attack lines. Anyone with half a brain could come up with decent talking points to crush the LNP in the polls.

That's why the ALP is trying their best not to defeat any LNP members, they don't want to miss out on their attack lines

Kitty:

She and several of her kittens came down with some gastrointestinal virus that hit them very hard. In her case her body just crashed out from under her and she spent two days at the ER when the stress of it sent her heart bonkers. She is recovering now, despite coming pretty close to dying.

<<<This picture is terrible, but what is worse is that you either accessed it within the minute of my post and changed my av, or you already had this stupid loving pony in your device.

You would have to know what you were looking for to search it so quick, or you are equally as sad and have pictures of ponies on your system for when people upset you. This is enlightening to me.
