At first glance the photos vaguely resemble a painting. On closer inspection it might be a giant sculpture or some other art project. But in reality it is a mangled pile of bicycles covering an area roughly the size of a football pitch, and so high that cranes are need to reach the top; cast-offs from the boom and bust of China’s bike sharing industry.

Just two days after China’s number three bike sharing company went bankrupt, a photographer in the south-eastern city of Xiamen captured a bicycle graveyard where thousands have been laid to rest. The pile clearly contains thousands of bikes from each of the top three companies, Mobike, Ofo and the now-defunct Bluegogo.

I'm sure nobody could have possibly seen this coming.

I'm more impressed they got the capital to start up in the first place.

quote:

Guardian Australia asked some economists to look at One Nation’s policies, based on the information the party has released to the public, to see what impact they may have on Queensland’s economy.

Independent economist Saul Eslake said it wasn’t possible to subject them to rigorous analysis because there was very little information available.

“I started out attempting to be serious about the [party’s] economic development policy, but once I got past there, the more policies I looked at, the harder it was to take them seriously,” he said in an email.

“There’s very little detail – except for the policy on ‘firearms and gun control’, the ‘zero tolerance for crocodiles’ policy, and ‘Agenda 21’ which has a lot of ‘detail’, nearly all of it entirely spurious,” he said.

“There are no costings, and in most cases no timelines.”

47. There were some new electorates added this year, mostly in Brisbane which benefits Labor and the Greens.

Looking like it might be a swing toward Labor as PHON splits the conservative vote and scares away moderates.

just because he's no longer an MP doesn't mean he's gone

he'll get a job as a senior advisor to pauline hanson and still be on the news all the loving time for saying utterly broken things

it's what happened to a bunch of libs who lost their seats at the last federal election, they immediately got jobs in the public service as staffers to mps.

So he gets to continue to prove he's an idiot, but doesn't get to sit in parliament. I think I'll still put that one in the "Win" column.

I lived 30 years in Sydney before moving up to bayside (not Carina) because iajwife had this crazy notion that after living a decade away from her family it might be nice to live there for a bit (since mine is overseas)

Also I have brain damage
