You don't think GPs should be incentivised to see children, concession card holders, or pensioners?

I'll admit its annoying when our system for handing out concession cards is super combative and designed to make people give up. No real objection to the other two but ultimately I would like bulk billing to be available to all patients

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. e: i hoped the second line make the sarcasm obvious

I think everyone who needs to go to the GP should be able to go to one, and not have to pay out of pocket expenses.

It does show that the latest version is a significant improvement though. Apologies for failing to make the earlier ones clear enough.

Reminder that (unless someone finds a single thing to dispute, or shows where it's been reported before) we have a world-exclusive answer to one of the biggest mysteries of modern times, and critical information about the nature of the fascists' shockingly powerful brainwashing machine that's cooked so many people, and the top journalists are not just ignoring it, but activley obfuscating it.

And here's even a shout-out to the homies:

Entirely agree but this is the image that will hurt him with the toxic dickheads who vote for him. And more importantly back him in the party room. Probs wont make a difference, but you aren't the audience.

May I take this opportunity to say in the strongest terms possible that John Winston Howard is a disgusting toe rag who should be fired into the sun through a woodchipper.

The person who came the closest to making sense was Jimblah. His position seems to be “you killed us, gently caress you and all the horses you rode in on”. Even then, I fail to see how voting no would lead to better outcomes. It’s deluded, but at least understandable from an emotional standpoint. check the videos on his Instagram if you like.

More than a million new cars bought in Australia in 2023

New car sales are speeding up despite challenging economic conditions, with figures revealing Australians are buying more and bigger vehicles, AAP reports:

Motorists keep driving the economy forward, with new figures revealing Australians have purchased more than one million vehicles in 2023 – a rise of more than 20 per cent.

And the popularity of large vehicles is behind the increase, with figures revealing utes and large SUVs made up more than one in three vehicles sold during October.

Data released by the Federal Chamber for Automotive Industries (FCAI) on Friday also showed the popularity of electric vehicles had taken a dip, down to 5.7 per cent during the month from a high of 8 per cent in April.

Electric cars also failed to secure a spot among the nation’s top 10 most popular vehicles.

FCAI chief executive Tony Weber said the one million vehicle milestone represented a U-turn for the industry after a difficult period and showed the supply of vehicles had improved.

“After some challenging years through Covid, this milestone speaks to the range of vehicles available to consumers,” Mr Weber said.

“In the past six months, five have broken all-time sales records compared with previous years and in October 106,809 new vehicles were delivered to Australian customers.”

The FCAI’s figures showed Australians purchased 1.006 million vehicles in the year to October – more than 100,000 vehicles or 22.3 per cent more than the previous year.

Sales soared across every state and territory, with the greatest increases in Victoria (32 per cent), NSW (22 per cent), Tasmania (20 per cent) and South Australia (20 per cent).

Big vehicles made up the biggest proportion of sales, with light commercial utes and large SUVs representing 38 per cent of new models sold in October and dominating the most popular vehicles.

Utes ranked as the top three best-selling vehicles in Australia during October, with the Ford Ranger taking out top spot followed by Toyota’s HiLux ute and the Isuzu D-Max

Reminded me of that West German stand up comic that would get the audience to do funny call and repeats, steadily getting faster and faster then end with Heil Hitler at the same time the house lights would suddenly turn on and you'd have all these loving nice 'denazified' middle class Germans doing Nazi salutes and yelling Heil hitler. He should try that as a defence. He was just stealing a bit.

E:but like, obviously he should be put against the wall

It is funny that Dutton gets a mani/pedi because it runs contrary to the image and values he tries to project. It's funny. Not sure why this is a difficult concept for some. No-one is suggesting that he has been caught in an egregious sin, and that all right-minded progressives must thus condemn him.

Just enjoy a chance to point and laugh at a dickhead. The loving guilt on some of you, honestly. No-one's waiting to scold you for laughing unwokely. Relax.
