Ther is one big problem with recycling hat is never mentioned: the cost of transporting material for recycling. Today I was talking to the boss of our local recycling station. He told me that he sells his cardboard for recycling for $1000/tonne. However, it costs him $2000/tonne to transport it to the next step in teh recycling (probably packing for transport overseas. I didn't ask). So, he says he will continue to accept cardboard, but he will have to stockpile it until transport costs drop. No doubt the same factors impinge on the glass and plastic recycling. The last time you got your car serviced, or replaced tyres, did you notice the environmental levy added to yoiur bill? I'd really like to know where those tyres are being recycled in Australia. There are rumours of rural properties being leased and used to store tyres for recycling. Often they never seem to leave the properties. What is saddening is that most of us try to do the right thing and make an effort to recycle at least some of the recyclables that we accumulate by living our modern lifestyles. The recycling system seems to fail to meet our high ideals once our additions to the pile are carted away from our doorsteps.

As yet they don't have a a candidate they can throw their weight behind. This video identifies two possible candidates and gives reasons for the favouring of one of them.

Pity the next non-Republican Administration. They will cop the bill for restoring the East Wing.

Why bother developing anthropomorphic weapons when we have seen how effective simpler machines like drones have been in carrying the battle? Am I being over-cynical in thinking that by releasing a story such as the one above, the releasers are creating a diversion from what is really being developed?

I once found what appeared to me to be a stone axe in an area where the type of stone did not exist. However theat type of stone did exist within a few kms of where I found the axe. I wonder if I had reported my find I would have put a stop to the real estate development that occures a few years later.

Are the votes cast in a particular polling place counted at that polling place and called in to a central tally room at teh closing of teh polling place? And then, are teh boxes containing those votes transported to the central tally room? If the boxes of actual ballot sheets are taken to the central tally room, who overlooked taking the boxes containing absentee ballot sheets to the central tally room as well? Looks to me like a simple case of human error. Sh!t happens. Fortunately the eror does not appear to have adversely affected the result in that electorate ( unless you didn't want One Nation to win).

Be careful what you wish for. If Trump carcks it, or they invoke the 25th Amendment, Vance will be Acting President until January 2029. It will be a case of the puppetiers stringing up a new puppet.

We coulld stop selling canola overseas and turn it into bio-diesel.

One of the reasons for granting bail was that it is going to takwe a very long time to bring these charges before a court. There is no likelihood that he will commit further offences whilst free on bail, so community safety is not endangered. The only condition that I see as not being useful is the reporting three times per week to police. That is supposed to restrict his movement from the local area of his residence. As one who was able to set bail conditions, I always felt that this was an onerous condition. Once a week is sufficient if the condition is required.

That's valve-ist!!!!!

I don't think the fact of being American by birth had much to do with Pope Leo's election, although we will never know of the points made in his favour during enclave. I suppose that if Trump hadn't created the situation withevery other country, Pope Leo would have not had the need to be saying what he has been saying. What I love is that Pope Leo never names names. He leaves it up to us to infer of whom he is speaking.

Is it un-Catholic to pray that someone would drop dead?

This seems to be an unbiased report. https://antonygreen.com.au/sa2026-it-turns-out-the-count-aint-over/

The indigenous people of Victoria seem to be the most aggressive people in relation to demanding rrights based on cultural claims. Is that their interpretaion of "reconcilliation"?

I always enjoy a good pun. Puns are the heart and soul of English comedy.
