I'm being hyperbolic, I don't travel anywhere. It's probably closer to $15 to from where I am to the city and back every day. The sticker shock when you want to take a family of 5 to the museum on a Sunday is rude though, paying for parking makes way more sense

You can also buy ultra-poo poo tyres for under $400 a set that will last just as long, if not longer than 3 years. My car cost $13k second hand and has dropped 1K in value in seven years.

Armadale line leaves the city and then goes to that well known low crime area next to the casino I'm not agreeing with it, just saying that my mums friends had a massive bitch about it at the time.

I hate perth so much I moved overseas but honestly it has a p good public transport network for a city of its size. OK the freo line runs to perth through the most affluent and whiter than white suburbs. and yet if you live in one of the terrible suburbs you can still get a bus or train with reasonable certainty. perth is one of the worst examples of urban sprawl yet the govt owned public transport authority is committed to running services to bumfuck, nowhere. that's p good imo

If I could change one thing about Melbourne it would be to demolish the nimby inner eastern leafy suburbs that have amazing public transport coverage and start building something more than loving dual occupancies. We recently had new residential zones rolled out in a refurbishment of our planning scheme. Some councils which are where all the liberal party donors live decided to designate 80%+ of their suburb as the lowest development potential, allowing no more than 2 dwellings on a lot, while designating less than 2% as the growth areas. The labor councils in the inner North stalled while waiting for a new state government so now they'll get the same 80/2 kind of split.

Ahhh the old driving vs public transport debate.. This is one of my favourites to hear people discuss. As a motorbike rider, I pay no more than $20 a week on fuel, regardless of how many trips into Uni or work that I need to make. I also have owned the same bike for 3 years which initially cost $6,000, and it's value will hold at the 4k mark until I'm ready to upgrade. Upkeep and maintenance costs are extremely low, thanks to having a small capacity bike (250cc). Parking is also an issue I never have to contend with, nor pay any amount of money for, ever. And traffic is almost a non-existent concept thanks to lane splitting/filtering, so I rarely am late due to traffic unless there is a severe accident stopping all traffic. It is also a known method of improving brain-elasticity which results in a lower risk factor in regards to developing depression, and I'm never tired once arriving at work/Uni thanks to practically being at war every time I'm on the roads. Soccer mums, distracted fools and simple idiots are a danger to us all, however... Anyway there's my great situation in regards to movement of my person, carry on as you were. Ps. gently caress this god drat system/country/treatment of human beings.

I cycle sometimes too don't get me wrong, but it's actually more dangerous, I find, than having my very loud exhaust alert terrible drivers of my presence.. Also yeah I came across as smug, but gently caress it so many people complain about things they can actively change it's pathetic.. Have a great day all, except for craigpissdick..

Birb Katter posted:It's from that great bastion of leftism, The ABC That's a nice bit of fluff to keep the home fires burning on asylum seekers, but the premise is flawed. The ABC posted:When the Prime Minister boasts that his Government won't "succumb to the cries of human rights lawyers", why should he expect Jokowi's government to do this? He doesn't. He only wants voters to think he's battling for it. Playing both sides works politically and Widodo has done it himself only in the last week with outrage over an executed national in Saudi Arabia. So to claim anything has come "undone" is a pretty weak argument - "Tones, if you had only rolled on asylum seekers our boys would be safe." Ah... no.

Your position seems to be that hypocrisy shouldn't be pointed out if the person never had any intentions to be anything other than hypocritical in the first place. People not pointing out that the stated positions and actual goals of politicians don't match up is how we got to such a loving dismal state of politics in the first place.
