The Sky Rail in Clayton is near quiet compared to the old level setup, plus no 20 min hold ups at level crossings as you have both local and V Line services running on the same line

And I also as a fellow people smuggler/poor fisherman in rural Indonesia, have been following Australian politics intensely. And now this bill has passed, I will be rounding up a bunch of sick/mentally ill people to smuggle to Australia, who will all automatically get sent to live in Australia in big houses due to teh weakness and failure of Bill Shorten. Who is a hero in my village.

Yeah, if built properly they're a lot quieter because the sound barriers mean noise gets reflected up at a much sharper angel, rather than directly at surrounding fences or a comparatively shallow embankment

The level crossings in that area (Glenferrie Rd, Kooyong Rd, Tooronga Rd) are all absolutely nightmarish and if they actually fix them it'll be magical.
The level of NIMBY in that area makes the whole "fix them" bit a bit... pie in the sky.

Morrison on Wednesday stood in his courtyard, reported with the full authority of his office that border protection had been weakened, concrete measures were being taken to deal with the weaknesses, and he Morrison, would attempt to stop the boats that Shorten had summoned with his manifest recklessness.

It's very Jacob Wohl, but I was out walking my dog through my half lower middle class, half public housing suburb, and a couple walking their dog the opposite direction on the other side of the road were talking; I heard "that's what the Liberals are saying, but I mean if you spend 5 ... on a boat ..." and I genuinely think the guy who looked like a stereotypical Howard battler was siding with the refugees

I mean more that fuckhead young Australian white people constantly say "how good is [subject]" often referencing something bad or banal
