Bucky Fullminster posted:The impression I get from Stokes (NSW minister for active transport), is that he might be genuinely interested. I saw him announcing the opening of a cycle way somewhere and he know's what's up. And he was literally asking councils to come to the government with proposals. The problem is, they don't really seem to be looking at how they connect, so we'll end up with a random mish-mash of localised bike paths that don't amount to a viable network. This sort of thing leads me to wonder; how does anything ever get done or planned out in Sydney on a larger scale when the city is a patchwork of little tiny local councils? As someone who lives in Brisbane it seems like such a strange way of doing things.

Bucky Fullminster posted:I assume it has to come under the state government. But even that is a series of local members for seats that aren't much bigger than a council. So yeah, that's really a key part of the problem, there doesn't seem to be anyone I can find who's job it is to look at this stuff at the basin level, so large scale planning stuff doesn't seem to get done. Brisbane is one LGA for the entire city of like 2.5 million people, so it has a huge budget and the capability to plan stuff at a whole city level. It’s also like the only LGA in the country where elections are explicitly partisan and contested between labor/lnp/greens. The Lord Bude fucked around with this message at 12:30 on Jan 18, 2023 |

I think the fundamental difference between Tony and Scomo is that although Tony’s political views were absolutely wretched and I vehemently object to just about all of them, everyone who knew him personally (including members of my own family) was lining up to talk about what a decent/honest/etc person he was. He also seemed to genuinely believe he was doing the right thing. As I’ve said before, Scomo doesn’t hold a hose. Tony would have had to be physically restrained from going out there with a hose; even if he swore up and down afterwards that the fires had nothing to do with climate change. With Scomo, he only cared about himself, and power, and everyone who actually knew him ended up despising him and talking about what a liar, and a manipulator and a fraud he was. In many ways it almost feels like an analogy to Catholicism and traditional religion as represented by Abbot, and new age wank churches as represented by Scomo.

Nah it’s people trying to kill themselves and not realising that paracetamol is more likely to leave you in agony with a completely hosed liver than actually kill you outright. The dosage guidelines for paracetamol have a massive safety buffer built into them, it’s really, really hard to accidentally overdose. I’ve read into this in the past - paracetamol overdose tends to be a thing people do on impulse because they’re suicidal and have a ton of it in the house. The government wants to discourage the hoarding behaviour a lot of people have when it comes to painkillers (which became worse due to Covid). This is also why Woolies for eg has always had very strict limits on how many packs of painkillers customers are allowed to buy, and you have to go to a pharmacy to buy the bigger pack sizes.

Don’t quote me on it because I don’t remember the actual figures but I’ve heard from doctors and pharmacists that the actual tolerable dosage of paracetamol for most adults is like 50% more to double what the packet says. It takes a big stuff up to overdose, not just being in a brain fog and taking an extra dose or 2. Slow release stuff works differently and makes it easier to accidentally have too much in your system and that’s why they already put more controls on those. I feel like one pack a day limit at supermarkets is pretty reasonable - ideally you’d be able to buy one pack of paracetamol and one of ibuprofen though since these have different uses and a lot of folks keep both on hand. You don’t need 100s of paracetamol in your home. A 32pk is 4 days at max dose per day. If you’re regularly taking multiple doses of painkillers a day then you probably should be under closer medical supervision.

‘You can only buy one pack per day without the involvement of a doctor’ is a long long way from ‘taking away paracetamol’.

Honestly I’d be pretty delighted if Labor had to have a minority govt with the greens; considering that we have no upper house and some of the lovely things the government is doing around the edges - we can’t afford to let the libs in but at the same time I think labor needs a wake up call/someone to slap them when they want to do something particularly stupid.

Jezza of OZPOS posted:I think its unlikely not only because the LNP have the shadow of Campbell Newman still hanging over them and a leader with ties to the real hosed up fundamentalist christians of the inland enclave towns but also because I don't really think the greens have quite enough headway in the suburbs to pull a significant number of seats. Weirdly I think if anything they might be able to pull a seat or two from the more progressive regional areas. There was a decent amount of presence in the scenic rim regions last election I think at least one of their most likely pickups in inner Brisbane is LNP held?

My first federal election was 2007; so I didn’t pay much attention to politics at that time (and everyone else in my extended family is a lifelong crusted on liberal voter, it wasn’t till I left school and became exposed to the real world that my views shifted pretty leftwards). Was Latham always this hosed? If so how did he become labor leader? Or did he get some kind of brain worm infestation later on? All I really remember about the 2004 election was my highschool headmaster telling everyone in assembly about how essential it was that we convince our parents to vote liberal or else the school would suffer horribly.
