And people vote for Republicans? Are they retarded?
People will put change into a jar at the front of a cafe if they want, usually a dollar or so. Sometimes the money is for a charity run and not even for the cafe. At a fine dining restaurant yes you'd probably tip for great service.
At a bar for instance you wouldn't tip. That would be strange.
If the Teals have the funding behind them of course, but because they are not an organised party, it would be difficult for them to run a campaign and gather enough support.
2022 was very good for the independents, but overall, that's not a common result. The Teals pretty much fill the vacuum between Labour's centre right MPs, and Dutton's wacky right wingers
So they don't want to get into government.
They won't have a path to 76 seats if they can't win back the Teal seats. Seems like they've given up on that, and they are trying to rally their right wing base in QLD just to keep hold of that region.
Wow that's amazing. Shows you that sometimes it's better to upgrade to more efficient things than to keep an old thing running.
This might sound strange, but buying a new fridge.
My old 80s Gumtree fridge used according to my power company app around 3-3.5kw a day.
I looked online and bought a new 5 star efficiency for fridge for $1000 with delivery which is roughly 750w a day.
Yeah English police are much more welcoming than the US police.
Plus Tesla's for the Australian market are built in China. Heck, I think some of the new BMWs are built in China now as well.
Because the Australian Teslas and Volvos are made in China. It's a Chinese EV. Volvo is owned by a Chinese Company.
Most vans have a greater payload than a lot of 4 door duel cabs, they offer more storage, more security,a lower loading floor height, more accessibility with side access and greater resale.
But yeah gotta get my Chevy.
In Australia the "Liberals" are the centre right capitalist centric party. We do have better terms like social progressives, socialists and social-democrats, but even with this, it's all relative terms. Everyone's different in their own ways.
Well this is just impossible. The UK tried to do this and failed. Plus I'm not sure how this is going to reduce DV? Is there a problem of kids strangling their partners during sex? Isn't there a better way to educate them?
Outside the US it's uncommon to require insurance on the property.
Don't count your hens I remember when all the consoles had backwards compatibility, until they didn't.
The average bike rider going at a leisurely pace goes 14.1 mph.
Driving in London and Paris is such a pain in the arse I would never buy one of I had to live there. If I needed a car for a weekend trip I'd just rent one.
So a non refundable return of over 10% with an expected break even at year 10. Hmm, that's not a good investment. Also I adds no value to your property.
I'm gonna call it, the farmer put up $100k in solar and sold it for $200k with a dividend plan for what it produces.
Government financed IVF will not solve the birth decline, nor will a plethora of government carrots and incentives for short term fixes. Because Australia has a long tradition with immigration I don't see low birth rates as a dire problem, it is bad news for older homogenous societies like Russia, China and Japan. What will be necessary though is a shift in our composition of tax policies and handouts. Much more tax collections will have to come from non personal income.
Hang on hang on hang on let me spend $100,000 on consultants to tell me what I want to think.
The beauty of preferential voting is that the major parties are incentivised to cater for their opinions to gain more first preference votes in the next election. Climate change was frankly a non issue 15 years ago, now where I am in Kooyong (now with a teal independent), it would be impossible for a candidate to win without a climate policy. Victorian liberals tend to be much more moderate (think Frydenburg) than your Queensland liberals (Mr Potato head).
Last time I went to the polls I voted in order, Greens, Teal, Labor, Liberal, right wing independents.
Some seats are safe seats, in that case parties are less incentivised to throw money at your electorate. In marginal seats like Kooyong you'll see a corflute sign on every corner, and will get doorknocked every second day by a volunteer.
The best thing you can do is volunteer. The teals would not have won without thousands of volunteers doorknocking.
