that is an awesome graphic. so smooth.

Yup, looks pretty. Wish I could fully understand it.

The thing that puzzles me is why he chose to make the announcement at the time. This goes on constantly so why the sudden urgency? Maybe it’s just trending up, maybe there’s already been a serious breach.

Maybe we needed to be distracted from something else they needed to announce?

 

[sane]

That’s certainly in their playbook

Sharing this information at this time seems like it could be a nation-building exercise at the expense of China. In my mind, it would make it easier to reduce trade with China while saving face when it was 'they' who attacked 'us.'

 

[sane]

Yes perhaps. I would've thought there's quite a bit of anti China sentiment going around already.

He blew off joining the Eden-Monaro campaign trail to make the announcement apparently, so there must be something in it.

He might've secretly enjoyed not having to go back to the fire-ravaged areas and shake anyone's hand..

I think this is a fairly likely outcome.


I wonder if they hacked the covid app...

She's got great rhythm, but a terrible ideology polluting her music.

 

[pink poodle]

Good to see it is business as usual for the NSW government...

George Street pedestrian zone to be extended

The move it part of ongoing efforts to encourage more people to return to the Sydney city centre.

[hifiandmtb]

The main reason I don't travel into the city is because that pedestrian zone does not exist.

Gladys has nailed it.

Same. I actually moved interstate because it wasn't there.

I vote for Trump because he runs over pedestrials in malls if he cannot grab their pussies.

He doesn't mind a bit of tear gas either when he needs the space. That man knows how to get things done!

 

[PJO]

I think she signed her life away to the wrong cause.

 

[Asininedrivel]

The Federal Budget. I shouldn't be disappointed. I should know better. But I had vague hopes after the Feds completely jettisoned their ideology in response to the pandemic that we'd get a more innovative, f*** the debt let’s think big Budget. Naïve much.

Instead high vis gets some monies, manufacturing gets (nowhere near enough) monies, the environment gets no monies (that one didn’t surprise me) all of us get tax cuts we won’t even notice and the chances of someone’s gran getting shunted into a an “aged care” home to provide fodder for another Royal Commission stays…. about the same.

Ugh.

 

[Flow-Rider]

all of us get tax cuts
Ugh.

Almost laughable for sure, a lot of people don't even have a job and the rest have had their hours cut back, so I suppose it leaves the big hitters for a great Christmas bonus.

 

[pink poodle]

I did chuckle at the betoota headline regarding transitioning old folks from home to pet food.

Truely a visionary government. What a time to be alive!

 

[Scotty T]

NSW folks, just gonna leave this here...

 

[Scotty T]

Ugh.

Ughree. Over 34? Female? Soz.
