Why do I suspect they’re going to follow a similar model that the ussr used with the gulags - only take the absolute worst aspects of what is ascribed to communism…

Reddit didn’t used to be that way. Slowly over time it devolved into the same self-flagellation that happens more on “share my thought” type platforms like Twitter. I hope we are better able to manage our federations to keep that type of content at bay while remaining open enough to let people speak their truth in the face of oppression.
I can pop, or reverse pop my ears at will. Where most people talk about chewing gum to pop their ears on a plane I can push out and suck them in to change the pressure at will. It’s useful to help regulate how much noise gets in (in a small way) too.
How long until someone takes a shot at this pos Nazi? He ought to be murdered.
I don’t know the Australian constitution or legal structure either, but as vehicle regulations are set by the feds thes states still need to deal with the repercussions. They could do nothing instead, but they have no power to reduce vehicle sizes. A better approach might be to get rid of parking requirements altogether. But, that’s more likely to be political suicide for the elected officials than to spur on a broader anti-car sentiment, especially given the rural nature of the state.
This policy is at the state level and states do not have jurisdiction over vehicle standards. Vehicle standards are regulated by the national government, so this is more of an addressing the symptom of an issue the state has no control over the cause of. That doesn’t mean it’s not ridiculous that garage size regulations are what’s changing, but let’s cast share where it’s due.
I’d be willing to wager a larger percentage of those protesting the increased fuel costs are also “very concerned” about climate change.
Yup, we should be taxing fossil fuels like crazy and putting those funds directly into green infrastructure, but “mah truck!”.
If you eat meat (especially beef or pork) more than once a month you are not an ally in the fight against climate change. Towards that end, meat should be taxed at higher levels than cigarettes or alcohol (in Canada).
Just wait until our retaliation hits and you run out of electricity and oil.
