Agreed, if anything I'd like to see mandatory civic classes added to the curriculum before reducing the voting age. There's no point in lowering the voting age if people fundamentally don't understand how our democracy works.

Annoyingly sometimes a main road or highway is the only way to find relatively flat terrain. Where I live the moment you are off the main road you're into endless hills, makes it difficult if you're trying to keep your heart rate in a certain range!

Though completely agree about using suburban streets for running. Much nicer than major roads!

Same, there seemed to be a constellation of evidence but nothing that definitively showed she was going to murder her guests. It will be interesting as I read somewhere that she can still appeal this decision, I assume to the high court if they'll accept it.

 

Don't know if it's already been posted, happy for mods to delete if it's already posted somewhere else!

AI has been used for years in radiology. We've been using RapidAI for detection of large vessel occlusions in stroke patients for clot retrieval at my facility for as long as I've worked there.

When I get close to the end of a bottle I buy a new one and use it for a while. Then I carefully balance the old bottle upside down with the cap off on the new one and let the contents of the old bottle drain into the new bottle. Really helps getting rid of that feeling of being wasteful!

Another good suggestion is to get bubble wrap to put on your windows to help with insulation.

Sure that might be the case but we shouldn't be basing our response now on how they responded over 100 years ago. If cars only began to appear a few years ago we'd be looking at a similar suspension.

A temporary suspension to give time for regulations to be made to minimise accidents and increase safety is a good idea. Hopefully they'll be able to talk to the e-scooter companies to look at things like speed caps in pedestrian areas.

I'm surprised it's not something that the coroner would be referred to. Though, I wonder if they're waiting to see what the findings are from the autopsy. From what I had read last they hadn't identified a definitive cause of death.

Agreed, will be good as it will require all parties to compete to pass bills!

Though sadly it probably is just temporary until a liberal spill occurs in a few years. Sounds like the Nats leader did a bit of a dog act announcing this now to Sussan

While as some have said, this is probably just political theatre and they'll renegotiate an agreement before the next federal election. It does however pose some interesting points depending on who broke off.

You've got the nats breaking the coalition possibly feeling emboldened by the most recent results. However I can't see how they really gain any seats outside electorates they already hold seats for.

I think it's far more interesting if you look at it from the libs breaking the coalition. You now have the libs free from far right policy agreements that they would have passed in a coalition so you could see the libs in the senate being able to help vote more centre labor policies. Might shift power away from the greens in the senate.

Definitely an interesting development and not something I would have expected as an outcome from the election!

So happy with the result this election. Hopefully a sign of elections to come!

I think it's fascinating that you can really define their style of free speech as freedom to discriminate while pretty much the rest of the world treats free speech as freedom from discrimination.

 

Interesting reading the article. Would be good to see the complete ACCC report.
