@FartsJurassic@KirstiMiller30 There certainly could be more checks and balances on overseas drivers. I was shocked to hear how easily a person from overseas can get a truck license. It’s a worry. It has been raised in Parliament, and I understand some tightening of the rules will occur.
@KirstiMiller30@ChrisMinnsMP I have always supported keeping water at Menindee, for so many reasons. The problem is the 640/480 rule that determines state or commonwealth control. I have sought to change that, but there has been no support from major parties.
@jurinushi@KirstiMiller30 Barwon (State) is 44.5% of the land mass of NSW held by Independent. Parkes (Federal) is 51% of the land mass of NSW held by Nationals. Voting for the Federal seat is varied. You can look at booth results, but anecdotally the Nationals do better in eastern population centres.
@KirstiMiller30@jurinushi Must be thinking of a different Broken Hill. The historical significance of Broken Hill to Industrial Relations laws meant that if anything, the city was more Labor oriented. Hope all is well.
