Indeed. Did they end up with a formal end to the Ruso-Japan war? This could be the real issue behind a lot of modern symptoms.

seems not..

MOSCOW: Senior Russian security official Dmitry Medvedev told Japan on Tuesday it would have to drop territorial claims to a group of Pacific islands if it wanted to conclude a peace treaty with Russia formally ending World War II.
"We don't give a damn about the 'feelings of the Japanese' concerning the so-called 'Northern Territories.' These are not disputed territories but Russia," said Medvedev. "And those samurai who feel especially sad can end their life in a traditional Japanese way, by committing seppuku (Japanese ritualistic suicide by disembowelment). If they dare, of course."

I was thinking the earlier one...190something where the Japanese crushed imperial Russia. Something in the back of my mind thinks the tsar was deposed before finalising the incident.

What you think the cold snap was geographically located and existed purely within Texas's borders? Nowhere else was affected?

Here's a clue - it wasn't and they were, yet somehow the lights stayed on everywhere else.

Texas doesn't generally get weather that cold hence the issues there. their coldest is generally around 7c.

Rmember when we get heatwaves our trains breakdown and the stations tend to struggle with all the aircons going full blast.

Has a juicy midrange
By-election in my electorate in a few weeks due to the death of the sitting member. Historically it's been a swinging seat, but usually over the space of a few terms. The last two or three terms (including the current one) have been ALP held, and I suspect they'll retain it. The Lib candidate may suffer a bit of voter backlash, because he resigned from Council while serving as Mayor in order to stand for the federal spot.

Levin the moment
"Peter Dutton said the government had betrayed the public's trust and labelled the changes "bad policy", but the Coalition would support them anyway."

So they don't support it, but have actually supported it and *will vote for it :p (stage 3 tax cut changes).

If betraying publics trust, breaking election promises and bad policy were so bad... Wouldn't they vote against ?

Stage 3 tax cuts to pass parliament after Coalition announces it will support them

The federal government's amended tax cuts will pass parliament without Labor needing to strike a deal with the Greens, with the Coalition deciding to support the cuts in a partyroom meeting.

tbh, bipartisan support for things that are generally good for the community (i.e. us), is something to be welcomed from our gumbyment... (even if Potatohead is kicking and screaming and faking displeasure ; )

They must not classify it as a "core promise" anymore therefore OK to break.

It was the correct thing to do for Labor and a wedge for the Libs, if they voted it down they would be seen as not wanting to help the less well off when that's what's really needed for the bigger picture with high cost of living and inflation.
