Re: The Australian Politics Thread

So in that sense, transferring $1 billion of sovereign wealth to the banks portfolios was welcomed by the banks, as were their rapidly increasing profits in the immediate aftermath as they refused to p...

Re: The Australian Politics Thread

Anyway, the QLD election seems to be on track for a clusterfark of all proportions.

Campbell No-one is lying about all kinds of shit and Anaesthesia Alphabet won't tell anyone about the ALP's policies until 12 hours before the election.

Re: Bicycle helmets... the truth at last.

Most of this discussion has been about helmets or not, and that's sort of not the question. You'd be a loon to go mountain biking or road cycling without a helmet IMO.

Re: Bicycle helmets... the truth at last.

Is Australia really compulsory helmets? Because if that's the case then it's clearly not policed in Sydney, I'd say I only see about 50% - 60% of cyclists wearing them. Actually, I agree. It's been illegal to ride without a helmet for nearly 24 years or so but last time I was there I saw plenty of ...
