If the AUKUS flip-flop didn't do it, there's zero chance that requiring fossil fuel companies to pay a fair price in a situation where the entire world knows they're currently being allowed to rip us all off will have any impact on other industries.
Most gas is already under contract. Breaking those contracts would massively hurt our economy
Nah fuck that. There aren't alternatives they can reasonably turn to. The only thing hurting our economy is allowing companies to steal from the Australian people without paying for our resources.
Courts can't overturn it if Parliament enacts a law specifically saying they can do it. There's certainly nothing in the constitution that would prevent this.
This might be a rare case where I actually don't mind that.
If Labor's going to put up someone who is a literal fossil fuel lobbyist as their candidate, they fucking deserve to lose. It's sickening.
Hey, removing this. This community isn't for general world news, but for world news with a specific relevance to Australians.
Since not many Australians are applying for asylum in the UK, I don't believe this qualifies.
This actually sounds fantastic. If the worst thing about the game is the risk that it might be concentrating too much on competitive play at the expense of casual and single-player, that could be a problem for the game's longevity, but it is still so much worse than some other problems with the game could have been.
Walk on the left side of the footpath/shared path. The vast majority of people are good at this, but you get enough people who just can't seem to get it. It's bloody annoying.
a big ol bendy boy
I do think it's less common on the bigger buses. You can't do it on the Metro for example, I'm pretty sure (only been on it a couple of times, but IIRC the driver is in a fully separated cabin).
oh haha very convenient timing. I took the time to do that exact same search myself before refreshing and seeing your message posted 8 minutes ago. But yeah, their About page makes it clear that they're a legit journalist, so I've already updated the title to reflect that.
It's not Substack by the way, but Ghost.io, based on a DNS lookup.
Oh yeah I'm a big fan. Only discovered him a few months ago but he does great stuff.
But in this case he's not the one being referred to as an "influencer". That was the creator of the video Punter Konrad is commenting on in this video.
Which as it happens, I just discovered was created by an actual legit independent journalist, Jesse Noakes.
Punter Konrad isn't the influencer referenced in the title. Konrad is commenting on a clip made by someone else. And I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that person was a YouTuber. Instagram or TikTok is their stomping ground, I think.
I definitely would use YouTuber if it were someone primarily from YouTube.
It was simply the most accurate term I could think of. They're not a proper journalist, even if in this context they seem to be doing some pretty damn good (if not especially difficult) journalism.
Happy to edit it if you've got a better word I could use though.
