Worth noting that the motivation for this is to give the state parliament extra powers to reveal fuel information from retailers about supply levels. The government requested six retailers provide supply chain information, but only three complied.
Wait, the rest of the country doesn’t have a fuel cycle?? Huh.
Pro: you can reliably get “cheap” fuel on a Tuesday.
Con: Everyone gets fuel on Tuesdays, and you will sit in traffic to fuel up. And if you run out of fuel on a Wednesday or Thursday, you’re gonna be (even more) broke.
Not the worst federal government in recent times, but probably the most disappointing.
I don’t know anything about good security measures tbf, but damn, a fence would ruin the whole design of Parliament house…
Edit: it’s a 10 year old post, surprised I didn’t hear about this until now

What a flog. A lot of people need to resign over this, including Minns himself.
There is no acceptable context for many of the videos we have seen.
The media is one thing, but the silence from politicians is deafening. I haven’t checked in the last day but on the 27th I only saw 4 representatives from WA even mention it.
Well I tried…
This has been such a good workout album, i love something that’s heavy af but also filled with earworms.
Keen for new music this year, will be curious to see how their sound evolves without Charlie and Conner.
This place is so remote, the average bloke from WA doesn’t even know it exists.
Get vaccinated ya bloody hippies
Glad it at least appears to be amicable. They’re going to be tough to replace but I’m excited the band has some more music in store, keen to see where they go next. And hopefully Charlie and Conner keep releasing some music through Tiktaalika.
It’s far too late to prevent climate change but the EXTENT of change matters just as much as wether there is a change at all. Every fraction of a degree of warming counts for so much.
We absolutely need to be investing in adaptation alongside our reduction of greenhouse gasses, but I worry the narrative of “it’s too late” sends a counterproductive message (I.e. we failed, may as well continue polluting an enjoy our lives). Even if we have 2 degrees of warming it would still be worth fighting to avoid 2.1 degrees of warming imo.
I try this so often yet I remain terrible at these haha
I find it difficult to imagine a future in which humans aren’t making fun of impaired cognition.
I think the context is what’s most important, if anyone actually directs such language (be it retarded, idiot, etc) towards people with genuine mental impairment, that constitutes a slur. But the word ‘retarded’ literally means ‘slow’, and is still regularly used (including by myself) in scientific and technical contexts (compared to racist or homophobic slurs, which are only ever really used in a ‘slur’ kind of way).
I wouldn’t really have a problem with calling people ‘slow’ in jest, and I don’t think many would. Imo if not ‘retarded’, it’ll be something else with the same meaning.
Well deserved, although I’m still going to soapbox that the Baudin’s Cockatoo (which unfortunately didn’t win) is under immediate threat by the proposed Alcoa mine in the southwest Jarrah forests! It’s some of the last habitat they have left, and once it’s gone, it’s gone for good.
I do love tawnies though. They’re such characters.
Shoutout to the Romans tbh
