So the RTA's own modelling showed the Rozelle Interchange would be a traffic disaster—but generating more toll road trips for Transurban was more important.

    This is the inevitable result of an electoral system that establishes the dominance of two similar parties (a #Uniparty ) allied with permission to accept huge amounts of money to these two parties but no-one else. We can see this with new electoral laws in Victoria, which are now being emulated in Canberra to hamstring Independents and minor parties. https://youtu.be/7FLqYpD6eYw?si=smGlZmiT2fsfuC1r

    More than a quarter of people with COVID infection develop Long COVID, new research reveals.

  • @DenisCOVIDinfoguy @auscovid19 I'm not denying the existence of Long Covid at all, but I must note that of the dozens of people I know who have had Covid, not one has long Covid. If over 1-in-4 people have it, surely one of approx 50 people should have it? Either I know a really skewed sample of people, or that 28% claim is incorrect. PS My sympathies to those who do suffer the sequelae of Covid infection over the long term.

    Israel has carried out a strike inside Iran, US official tells CNN, as explosions reported near military base

  • @livus Looks like #Israel now wants to escalate the tensions with #Iran, and drag the #US into a regional war.

    Israel requests to convene the Security Council, in the face of "a flagrant violation" of "sovereignty, of international law" "a concrete threat to the peace and security of the entire region."

  • @mozz @immibis Game Theory would suggest exactly this response from Iran if it is interested in maintaining peace into the future.

  • @immibis @mozz I am not quite as cynical as you regarding the UN. Yes, the do seem to be a Western toy much of the time, but they also have their moments of clarity. It will be interesting to see their response to Israel's complaints.

  • @mozz Strange. Israel totally ignores the #UN whenever it suits, but then expects them to come running to get #Israel out of a mess it created.

    The average Palestinian in Gaza is living on 2 pieces of bread a day, UN official says

  • @halcyoncmdr @Silverseren Quite right. Hamas is a political organisation, and recognised as such by many (but not the Zionist supporting West). The Oct 7th attacks were carried out by the military wing of Hamas, not its politicians. I am unsure as to the level of integration between the 2 parts.

    A traveller in love with the chaos and wonder of life, and an interest in many things, particularly geo-politics. #socialjustice for all. #antiwar #antiimperialism . Those who blindly follow Western propaganda narratives are requested to stay away, as I prefer to deal with people of at least some intellect, even when we disagree. And please note, liking or boosting does NOT always signify agreement, but rather that the post is of interest.
