Here's the pitch for the Sydney Cycle Superhighway if anyone's interested.

Thanks for the help and feedback along the way.

quote:

Add “the edge of golf-courses” to the formula. To bring this whole magnificent path to life.

This bit needs touching up. Was this a note to yourself that you didn't take out?

quote:

You make it possible for everyone who lives west of Toongabbie to into town with a bike. 

Missing a word here.

I think the hit explaining the petrol cycle and how engines work to be a bit eghhhh I dunno over bearing. People know what ebikes are at this point, and anyone who is reading a proposal about a bike super highway definitely does

If only there was some way the US could get Israel to stop bombing civilians.

Changing the day to May 8 is the best idea ever and should occur.

Unless something horrible happened on May 8th in Australia.

I haven't checked.

Mayeight

I want to change it to somewhere in June or July because there are gently caress all public holidays around then and moving one from jan to june would spread it out a bit more.

abolish all public holidays and instead legislate 4 day work week

e: this is another attack on penalty rates

counterpoint: keep all public holidays and legislate a 4 day work week anyway

It's just so exhausting. He keeps Kramering in here with his brilliant ideas, demanding feedback and then just ignores all of it and continues doing his own thing and clogging the thread with endless paragraphs of textual diarrhoea.

He isnt ignoring all of it though? He has taken a lot of it on board and updated / modified his pitch based on it.

Oh how silly of me, I now see how it's the fault of the drat tiktoks, and not a structural problem. We just need to focus on budgeting, that will solve the problem of wage growth not keeping up with increasing costs. Placing the onus on the individual to solve social problems always works, just as it has with drugs, climate change and sexual assault. Really, it's an individual moral failing if your HECS debt was deliberately increased through coalition policy.

Its loving infuriating that the journalists on this country dont ask the amazingly basic questions that would show how full of poo poo the LNP is.

Is this good? No, but I don't think it's even really the fault of political parties, it's a majority of our own society because we've painted ourselves into this ridiculous corner where a huge amount of most families' wealth is tied up in their house.

Its the fault of the political parties who enacted policies that encouraged wealth generation through property.

take a wild guess where on the graph the 50% CGT discount came in


Its such a loving no brainer to get rid of as well. How difficult can it be to say "Hey, we are getting rid of a discount on taxes, just like we got rid of lmito"

There is a way out however isn't it something like 70% of Australians either own their homes outright or with a mortgage? Anything that significantly dents prices is a non-starter.

There needs to be a cultural shift to stop looking at housing as a wealth generation / holding asset. That starts by stopping the tax breaks that encourage real estate speculation.
