The swing from the bottom of the petrol cycle to the top was nearly 50c a month ago. It has been divorced from reality for a long while. The ACCC petrol price enquiry did nothing and people were all over Miles about “what’s in it for us poor drivers” when he announced the 50c fares. So it’s a particular pain point in QLD and will be interesting to see what they can do it they push forward with this.

No peak/off peak here. Brisbane metro. 38c is ouch.

Switched my electricity provider from nectr to Ampol. Nectr was raising rates to over 29c so found a provider that was 25c. Should get the cost of living payout as well.

I just try to cook an extra big meal that will yield 1 or 2 extra serves. This means I have something for lunch the next day, but I don’t get bored of having the same thing 5 days in a row.

Another one in FNQ that isn’t getting much media coverage too https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/article/2024/jun/29/man-allegedly-stabbed-woman-to-death-before-attempting-carjack-on-major-queensland-highway

Im sure both of these will go on a list somewhere and we’ll continue to ask “what can we do?”

Credit to the Australian members of parliament who haven’t let this go:

[Prime Minister Anthony] Albanese has said he raised the matter directly with the US, including with the president, Joe Biden, during his visit to Washington in October 2023.

In February this year, Albanese and cabinet members supported a motion put forward by independent MP Andrew Wilkie urging the UK and US to allow Assange to return home to Australia.

The attorney general, Mark Dreyfus, said he also raised the matter with his US counterpart, Merrick Garland, during a meeting in January this year.

The Quirk review is in and it has recommendations!

The Gabba:

… the panel estimates an upgrade alone would cost around $2 billion. A full rebuild would cost around $3 billion – more than the $2.7 billion estimated by the Queensland government – plus displacement costs for the AFL and cricket.

How about a new stadium at Victoria Park:

The review instead recommends the government build a new stadium at Victoria Park with 50,000 seats for the Games, and more to be added later for the AFL and cricket. And, as Brisbane Times revealed on Sunday, the alternative stadium would come at a cost of around $3.4 billion – $700 million more than the government tipped for the Gabba.

And how about a new Brisbane Live Arena venue:

Instead, it recommends building Brisbane Live at a the non-parkland northern corner of Roma Street precinct which currently houses a carpark and workshop depot. This corner was originally set aside by the former Beattie government for a landmark public museum-style building.

1L juice for comparison. You guys got these at your local? First time getting them in Brisbane. I use the paper bags for collecting recycling so the new size sucks for this.

 

Let’s party!
