@TrainLinkWest Is there any way to get to a BM train from central currently? Your earlier message suggested a. Us from Ashfield to lidcombe and then a train to Blacktown but I am not sure if those busses are still running
@joelcardwellX@ExposingNV I would think so. I saw in the SMH that this has now been referred to the full bench, but it seems that relying on an “implied freedom of political communication”, which has been established by court opinion is a weak argument against the explicit powers granted in section 51.
@ExposingNV I would hardly call the antics of DOGE “rigorous”. They seem to have no ability to actually analyse costs, evaluate benefits or even talk to people who might be able to provide any insights. They are simply firing people and cancelling magazine subscriptions
@iterationlaw@elonmusk The original plan was fibre to most houses until the conservative govt decided that copper was just fine, despite all of the experts telling them that it wasn't. Now, after spending billions rolling out a service using copper they need to spend more billions rolling out fibre
@EyeballFarms@iterationlaw@elonmusk The $6100 is the average cost to the National Broadband Network (which is a government owned corporation) to connect the house to the fibre network. The customer pays $0 for installation and about US$60/month for 1Gb/s unlimited Internet.
@DevWithTheHair Sounds like an organisation where trust has already broken down between workers and management. I work with data from these sorts of sensors and they simply track anonymous occupancy to help right-size" office space. Images are analysed in the sensor and not available for viewing
@handofyes@ExposingNV@DamienEvans21@getproductive@AlboMP No. We don't know what it will be like; that is a big part of the problem but the legislation says that the provider "must take reasonable steps to prevent age restricted users having accounts". With fines up $50m I don't think "we asked for a date of birth will be enough
@TonyC3163@tigertuffmark@Leo_Puglisi6@elonmusk Yes, the suggestion during the hearing is that the platform could look at your location when you post or metadata on your photos or where you "check in" to determine that you are in OZ. Of course no mention of what happens if you are tourist visiting Sydney...
@SOS149@ExposingNV I wasn’t able to watch the whole thing. Did anyone ask about visitors to this country? Will they suddenly be required to provide age verification as soon as they step off the plane?
@vsky711@AlboMP It’s a pity that the opposition is also supporting this. Can we get bipartisan support for climate change? Social inequality? No. A ridiculous policy on social media that does more harm than good? You betcha
@R_Chirgwin So, change your date of birth on your accounts now kids, unless they are going to make everyone prove they are over 16. I don't think they have thought this through. Why am I not surprised
@scott_thewspot Yes. A typical thought bubble from a government when it comes to tech. It might get less support from the public if it was more accurately headlined as "over-16s will need to provide ID to create a social media account"
