- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 1 day ago:
Most of the time I can make eye contact with drivers, I see the hand wave or whatever and everything works out. But for the small number of times I can’t then I’m not going to step out in front of a machine that can seriously injure me from a stand still or worse.
- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 1 day ago:
Nope. Even when a car stops at a pedestrian crossing that doesn’t have pedestrian lights or a zebra crossing (like a roundabout for example), if I cannot see the driver through the windshield and make eye contact then I will wave them through and try to signal that I cannot see them and sometimes will even mouth out, say or even shout ‘I cannot see you’. Even when I know they are sitting there waving me on, if I cannot see them I won’t budge.
- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 1 day ago:
I’m the opposite. I wait for a full stop. Even when the light goes green for pedestrians I wait and check the cars have stopped on both sides. I’m always amazed how confident people are that a tonne or two of flying metal they haven’t checked to make sure isn’t there wont flatten them. Light a red light means anything to physics.
- Comment on When The Tram Stops, You Stop! | Taitset 1 day ago:
I don’t know what it’s like now but when I lived it Melbourne I witnessed several hair raising moments when drivers blew past passengers getting off.
I also do not recall anyone ever being encouraged to step out on to the road to get cars to stop! That’s lunacy if true. Unless I misheard.
It never occurred to me that maybe many of the near misses were by out-of-towners. I think that’s unlikely. Who knows.
- Comment on Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader 1 day ago:
I thought about editing it because it sounds super snarky towards @Mantzy81@aussie.zone which wasn’t my intent. I was trying to say we should treat the ALP as the opposition and never let anyone to the right of Labor close to power ever again.
- Comment on Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader 1 day ago:
Angus should lean into this and use it for the election campaign if he makes it to the next election. There’s no escaping it.
- Comment on Angus Taylor rolls Sussan Ley to become Liberal leader 1 day ago:
The ALP is the opposition. It doesn’t make a lick of difference that they have been elected to government.
- Comment on What's the charge? Protesting a genocidal inciter? This is Democracy manifest. 2 days ago:
You made me do homework. Apparently ‘or’ is the newer American English version. So we should be using ‘er’ like the prim and proper loyal subjects of the British Empire that we are.
- Comment on What's the charge? Protesting a genocidal inciter? This is Democracy manifest. 2 days ago:
Yes. This meme is 100% analogous to the events that occurred on Monday. So they were right to arrest protestors. /s
p.s. I am not sure I have used the word analogous correctly, or used the correct word. It is late, I am tired.and too lazy to look into it.

Reckon the reckless acceptance of massacaring the family and friends of our own community is not helping social cohesion?
What’s this a ref to?

Woah, appears to be.

NSW Police like spending tax payers money by assaulting people. A friend of mine bought their first house with a hefty payout after being assaulted.

What would be classified as Nazi-punching?

Epic.
- Comment on Cul de sac politics: Have the Australian Greens hit a strategic dead-end? 1 week ago:
Where does Jono specifically criticize Max? I’ve only read his and Max’s piece once so may have missed it.
I think the data Jono was relying on to suggest that voters want deep change was the rise in support of One Nation. One Nation might be a grift but it’s currently the only popular party with an anti-establishment image, regardless of how contrived that image may be.

We know there is a lot of racism. I don’t know in what context you raise itt.

Sorry, you lost me. What a the 30 and the 20? Also I did not realise the potatoes are not the same.

According to googlebot they are the same level of sexy.
- Comment on Has AI gone too far? 2 weeks ago:
I tired. I think google’s bot did OK.
- Comment on Has AI gone too far? 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t that imply there is something sexy to begin with? How do you make sexy from nothing?
- Comment on Nationwide protests planned as details of Israeli President’s visit to Australia revealed: ‘We will flood the streets’ 2 weeks ago:
This crew in that area has a how-to-make gluten-free sourdough fundraising workshop in a couple weeks. The two advocacy groups they are raising funds for a well known and respected. Dunno if there’s any tickets left.
Thinking about it is making me hungry.
- Comment on Nationwide protests planned as details of Israeli President’s visit to Australia revealed: ‘We will flood the streets’ 2 weeks ago:
This mob are fundraising for a information campaign, the amount seems about something you’d expect to pay for a full page add in a tabloid or similar but I’m not really sure that’s what it will be used for.

There’s some on Feb 1 www.greenleft.org.au/events?start_date=2026-02-01…
There’s a shitload of activism across the board. Kinda amazing. Where are you? I wanna see if I can find something close by for you. I wouldn’t be surprised.

- Comment on Neo-Nazi groups say they will disband ahead of introduction of proposed hate speech laws 4 weeks ago:
It’s pretty common for the legal organisations of any group that is being targetted by the state to disband publicly and continue working underground. I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t all end up in one nation. That’s where all the momentum is for the far right at this time.
