I said "Lefty" progressive mindset. Ordinary progress need not have any politics behind it, and shouldn't. Governments should only debate whether there is enough funding for new infrastructure and who needs it urgently, not whether it's good for their particular section of the community. That's the problem with fighting factions, each faction favors itself.

Fiddling with the meter is something that has been going on for ages. The problem in mounting a prosecution is determining whose hand fiddled with the setting. Also, there are not enough Weights and Measures inspectors to do the checking.

An accounting nightmare. How would the rate per km be determined? The one determinate would be the mass of the vehicle since the amount of damage a vehicle does to a road surface is dependent on the vehicle's mass. But then, what about money for the upkeep of signalling devices, signage, lane marking etc? The problem is in determining how the GST revenue is distributed.

Do Shahed drones come in gold?

I think you answered your own question...

Basically, if you see something that said Pauline did something that benefited someone other than Pauline, it's false.

In addition to higher prices per litre, people are reporting that the pumps are saying they put more than the capacity of their tank in the car. eg. One person said their 80 litre car tank showed it took 92 litres. Another said their 10 litre jerry can took 15 litres on the pump.

Tehran terrain from one direction, terrain Tehran from the other.

Red, your link is a Faecesbook scam site, designed to suck in anyone who believes everything they read. There is no $5M contribution to a homeless centre by Barnaby Joyce and Pauline Hanson, it's all TOTALLY FAKE NEWS. Just like the FB stories and photos of Pauline Hanson collapsing in Parliament, 100% lying, total BS.

GST is proportionately more expensive for those who earn less. While it is a flat rate, it requires a higher proportion of a low income persons money than a high income person.

ABC staff have gone on 24 hour strike for higher wages, There will be no 7:00 News or 7:30 Report tonight. BBC programs are being broadcast instead. The first ABC strike in 20 years.

Someone said the Population of IRAN is 8 Million. It's actually 93.7 Million. A lot of the water is from Desal Plants in the South. It's also quite a LARGE area with Teheran at 9300 feet altitude. Nev

The fuel excise is long overdue for scrapping. The tax system needs revision. Modern technology should be capable of automated reporting of vehicle use. pay per kilometre would be fair.

Well that one works for me. My last quarterly bill happens to be $275. So far this quarter, I'm on track for a small credit. But no thanks go to any politician. I took the initiative myself. Thanks, sun!

True. But Oscar was NOT armless, was he! But he didn't have a leg to stand on.

HUGE BREAKING: Democrat FLIPS Trump's home district of Mar-a-Lago BLUE, moving the needle 21 points from the last election. Emily Gregory just HUMILIATED Trump in a special election, now representing Mar-a-Lago. His last minute mail-in-ballot couldn't cut it, as a MASSIVE BLUE WAVE against him wiped out any hope that a Republican could hold this seat -- even in the place he calls home. Can't wait 'til he sees this!

I don't dispute that Iran has that history. However, I disagree about the bombing interrupting their quest for nuclear or any other weapons. It surely proves to the people that if only they had some nuclear bombs (just like Israel) they would be less vulnerable to a foreign country bombing them (it works for Israel). I don't see a positive side to any of it.

The fuel tax collected by the federal government on the sale of petrol & diesel etc does not go in to roading at all. It goes in to the governments consolidated revenue fund. Some of it is allocated to land transport infrastructure & some goes to other services like health and education. It depends on the government of the day what they do with it. Pretty much all State registration charges go in to transport infrastructure though & EVs pay their fair share of that.

I believe it's captioned Duck Donald. Nev

GON Lives in a distant Place. Blaming lefties is SOo Trump. Trump is all but GONE. He's to obsessed with eliminating anything with a touch of Obama in it. He has the ANUS touch, Everything he does turns to $#!t. Fair chance we will end up with a World Depression, like 1929. Nev
