The election thread - Two middle-late aged white men trying to be blokey and convincing..., same old shit, FFS.

Gee, all we needed was a competent Foreign Minister, and a PM who doesn't talk shit about climate change.

Yeah, Penny Wong as Foreign Minister is going to be a good time.

The good thing is, they all remember her from when they last dealt with her. She was competant, respectful, and true to her word. They know it wasn't her fault we decided to choose the other arsehats for a decade.

I don't get the black art of accounting but I can add up. They were getting a subsidy of 17.8 cents per litre. They now get the same 22.1 cents per litre tax break as everyone else as well as getting 4.3 cents back. My adding gives that a total of 26.4 cents per litre they are now being subsidised.
Are they really just complaining about fuel prices or is there something else in the equation that I've missed?

Yeah the maths doesn’t add up to them being able to complain. Some good due diligence from news.com.au there

Makes a nice change for Newscorpse to be actually doing proper journalism.

Lawyers for Bruce Lehrmann tell the ACT Supreme Court he is unable to find a barrister to represent him by the trial's start date, due to circumstances beyond anyone's control.

I'm assuming the trucking companies didn't change their accounting software to account for the fact that they had their subsidy up front and may have been expecting it again but only get 4.3c instead.

So he should get a court-appointed solicitor then, no?

I suspect you are thinking of a different legal system. Perhaps this fellow may not meet the requirements for legal aid.

Apparently so. That's my something new learnt for the day.

Can he represent himself then? That would be even more amusing.

I believe so. And hope so!

Hey man, don't get heavy but seriously I'm like a Trump supporter, I read the headline then move on after spreading hysteria.
I only read a paragraph or two

Sometimes with serious charges when people represent themselves they get a judge only trial for fairness. Only facts and no hysterics so can work in the favour of the defendant

I was so proud of myself

So I’m 0/2 so far… How about public lynching in the town square then?

I don't see that happening. People know who that cockroach is now. I think he might last longer in prison.

I'm a bit late but similar sentiments
