Dont wanna turn this into chat, but I will just confirm that in Perth, pedestrians always seem to wait at intersections and I got caught out by this when I moved to Melbourne. Yes I was obviously ignorant of the law but I guess in Perth it just became second nature for a pedestrian to wait for a car and the oposite in Melbourne.

Either way I am a terrible driver and think any form of mechanical transport should be outright banned so I can feel safe when I never leave my house. Also helmets mandatory for everyone 24/7, bike or no bike.

It's almost like you need some kind of, I don't know, price raising mechanism on foreign imports in order for local businesses to remain competitive. No, that can't be, clearly more free trade will fix this instead. *signs tpp*


What exactly is the argument against this / who votes against this anyway?

So the fruitpickers on slave labour wages are being hired by inefficient farmers, or the business is not viable? If it is innefficiency then it seems a pretty rampant problem. I live in between Ararat and Stawell and there are a lot of wineries around, and I think they all employ backpackers it seems. To be fair this probably has more to do with highly seasonal work then anything else.
