Can someone with a Fairfax sub post this article so I can see whether they bother interviewing anyone who might like to live in an affordable apartment, or just the local boomer NIMBYs https://www.theage.com.au/politics/victoria/the-five-suburbs-set-to-climb-sky-high-with-the-suburban-rail-loop-20231227-p5etu0.html?btis=

If you’ve got a decent ad blocker installed you can just read as many articles as you want by opening them in a private browsing tab. If you use safari with the Wipr ad blocker the paywall straight up doesn’t work at all and you can just read whatever you want.

Being on Centrelink is a full time job. It's loving stupid. They expect me, a 37yo that's been FT Employed for 20 years to do a 5 day, full time course on job applications. How about you take aaaaaaaall the money we spend on these nothing-courses, the websites, the planning and everything else, and just give it to the unemployed people Taking a week off my casual job to do this dumb course will cost me more money than it will ever net me.

JSAs only get paid after a person has been unemployed for a certain amount of time - was it 12 weeks??? It’s a bit of a zombie industry though and really needs to be taken out behind the shed.

Ah yes, Box Hill, Glen Waverly and Monash - notable for not having any large buildings already. Sounds good to me. Plans for the stations at Burwood and Cheltenham show smaller towers would be proposed in their densest sections, about half the height of other precincts. These two could be more interesting depending on how they end up but the others are already pretty large hubs.

quote:By 2056, it is predicted there will be twice as many residents and jobs crammed into a 1600-metre radius around each of the six new stations. Lmao. The year is 2056: climate change wildfires are sweeping the countryside, China is a fascist ethnostate superpower annexing its neighbours, local warlords are seizing the nuclear stockpile of a collapsed and balkanized Russia. But the real issue of our time is that the 1.6km radius around Cheltenham has doubled in population, and the residents are simply crammed - CRAMMED, I tell you! - and with the jobs to match! quote:“I don’t think they’re going to quite achieve the notion of Hong Kong or Shanghai-style concentrated development around the station in the very short term. The prospect of that kind of scale of development or that typology of development is a very, very long-term pattern.” For gently caress's sake, this is so obviously a response to an email question from the Age that namedropped Hong Kong and Shanghai, there is no loving way an academic raised them of his own accord.

There wasn't a cultural genocide. No one was prevented from speaking their own language, or practicing their culture or religion. The fact that previously terrorism in Xinjiang took the form largely of random knife attacks, an attack that is impossible to prevent from occurring through surveillance and control, and there has now not been a single attack for almost a decade shows that the ethnic tensions were largely due to economic hardship and inequality between Han migrants and Uyghur locals. Addressing these conditions in a systemic way is so obviously the correct method to ending both terrorism and inequality.

Not allowed to photograph the area though. If you get caught taking pictures of literally anything the police will walk up to you and ask you to delete them immediately. Even if, like me, it was a bird photo. I would imagine Tibet has similar restrictions though I'm yet to go there. If it were just good willed education going on over there surely I could've kept my bird photo?

There's also a bunch of examples of this "language education" screening straight up abolishing a shared language, in service of imposing cultural dominace. Bunch of aboriginal languages went extinct due to the stolen generation schools and labour camps not being allowed to speak anything but English. It's not a loving French Immersion Baccalaureate degree Tommy George, terminant speaker of Gugu Thaypan, only died like seven years ago, this poo poo has happened, happens, and will happen all over the world all the time and it's an easily recognisable process The Peccadillo fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Dec 29, 2023 |
