Oh ok. Just to ignite the worst state conversation again. Let's build some rail into heavily used choke points for the reason of shuttling the workers into the second airport. St Mary's and Campbeltown, like what the actual gently caress?

Pinball Jizzard posted:*Edit* The other option is that the triangle doesn’t happen and instead a line is build through Oran Park and Smeaton Grange towards Campbelltown. That would require tunnelling though but creates added benefit by removing some of the load taken by other stations in the area. But the tunnelling creates just another example of how little this infrastructure build has been thought through, ~10 years ago 90 % of that area used to be farm land and was turned into housing developments. So instead of having to maybe build track but tunnel under Narellen they now have to pay to tunnel under the developments that were re zoned from farmland. It all costs money and more money due to lack of planning for the future. All of this land was sold off whilst Bagerys Creek was still the planned location for the second airport. What work is being done to easy congestion on the western line? The same amount of services are running as always not accounting for the population boom in that area, how is adding more passengers onto that line going to help given they have no room for expansion and the the track is super close to capacity? Editing as I just saw Birstrikes comment: the link from North-South Western Sydney has been needed for many years but as above my issue is that they have sold off so much of the land around and it's been populated for sonlong that any expansion of the rail is now open to NIMBYS and also the cost that goes along with that. I'm just annoyed at the lack of future planning more than anything. Dimebag fucked around with this message at 10:32 on Mar 4, 2018 |

It might actually be worth the five days of feeling unclean. Hey guys, can we have a huddle scheduled for 15 minutes but that ends up derailing for 90 minutes to discuss a problem that could be resolved via a yes/no answer? Also since the discussion took so long the solution cannot be implemented correctly? Thanks.

Synthbuttrange posted:goddammit, I dont wanna go to loving telstra they're the worst. Going through both Telstra and NBN co for my in-laws and it's nothing more than a confusing world of pain, where each side has hosed up but are blaming the other. The best part is where they have had to have new copper run down from the pit and I asked the NBN guy why they would do this and not just run fibre in these cases, he said well you can but how much money have you got, I asked out of interest what would it cost and was advised he cannot tell me the inflated or "actual" cost as it would put his job in jeopardy. So my assumption is the actual cost would be equal or less than new copper line but charged at such a rate no-one would bother unless you are able to eat the cost, which explains how Malcolm got his fibre line into point piper. Edit: I did advise Aussie but was rebuffed due to a requirement of a fax line and number still being connected at their house which my father in law was convinced no-one else could provide. I tried offering eFax options etc but he was stuck in his ways. Hence Telstra. Dimebag fucked around with this message at 01:35 on Mar 6, 2018 |

Konomex posted:I don't mean to alarm you fiery_valkyrie, but with the downturn in the retail market and the shocking stagnation of wages over the past few decades... 90% of government revenue is generated from tampon taxes. Shocking if true, I guess that's why the Libs are trying to push for more females on their side to avoid the "No menstruation without representation" campaign that could tank the economy. This is of course assuming LNP logic that menstruation is a choice, hence the GIST application.

Birdstrike posted:I am bathing in the ocean of boomer tears shed over the ALP abolishing excess franking credit refunds. You can always tell that it's a decent policy when the IPA shills are out in full force on the comments claiming this will hurt pensioners. I don't know how they do the mental gymnastics but apparently the ~92% of the population that are unaffected should be up in arms for the ~8% claiming the credits.
