I didn't even know he was on TV and thought you meant his column had been dumped. What a letdown.

Do people care about their HECS debts? Mine will disappear eventually without much inconvenience, and before I had a job over the threshold it was the least of my concerns. The only reason I'd consider paying early is if the libs start meddling with it.

Though I haven't compared it to current uni fees, maybe I'm out of touch there.

I found some old mining propaganda in a drawer at work (~1991 based on a university newspaper parody using the same catchphrase)

If the previous tweet doesn't show up in the embed, this is about a lockdown protestor's one weird trick to avoid being fined, "they" are the police. The thread is longer in both directions.

NSW gov pays a billionaire 10x what the land is worth for a second airport in Sydney which won’t open for 20-30 years.

Not the NSW Gov, the Federal Government, in July 2018 when Scomo was Treasurer

I'm continuing my streak of not watching his videos but judging from the ones that have been showing up on the Australia subreddit lately, friendly jordan is pivoting dangerously close to the "my feuds are the most interesting content" youtube drama spiral

Sign me up for Anidav style camp, I could do with a fresh new look

We've had some fun drama in TAS politics after a public servant accidentally sent some documents to the Greens but compared to Vicpol it seems a bit underwhelming now.

CelestialScribe's great-great-grandfather: "Now that we banned grazing on the village green, it's finally starting to recover. So there's no harm in sneaking a few of my sheep back onto it."

Warning: I'm down in Tasmania, so I believe I'm not allowed to have an opinion on anything happening in Victoria or Melbourne. (Though I am a little paranoid about the reopening to most of the mainland in a week or two.)

So where does Waze fit in? Is using a crowd sourced traffic map, a "radar detector"?

Speed camera alerts on GPS devices and phones are banned in some European countries IIRC, it could be included if they want it to be and are sufficiently tech-savvy. Probably near impossible to actually catch anyone that way though.
