Last Notes npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Yeah, our whole political situation in Australia is due to US interference. We are a vassal state and no one in power has sought to change that since 1975. It is hard to see a better future right now npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin They just don’t have models that can accurately predict this new crazy (and they probably sacked all the grey beards) npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin The English language is a dung heap of other languages so probably everyone is correct. But crystal doggie water bowls? The target audience needs more targeted guillotine action npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Agree. I have a typical brick veneer house with no wall insulation. Even the walls that get no direct sunlight are radiating heat I can feel putting a hand on the plasterboard. By Friday it will be soaked/baked in so as to make it impossible to get a good indoor minimum overnight temperature. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Yeah, as @npub1vse…3fdg said “if Dawn Fraser and Sam Newman think a RC is great it must be wrong “ npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Ended up with 8mm in the end :ablobwobble: - how was Woden Valley ? npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin This weather cam - can't get the GPS for it but it is supposed to be Molonglo - shows all the activity on the mountain range only https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/115/812/645/489/313/458/original/df708ea8b3fd1058.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Looks like it will at least hit West Belco. Weather radar looking pretty hairy ☹️ npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I think that since they are well connected: "Brigid has been a ministerial speechwriter in the Albanese government – in the offices of Finance Minister, Minister for Public Service and Minister for Women – Katy Gallagher, and for the Minister for Environment and Water, Tanya Plibersek." This was a placed piece by government. for the Social Media ban npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Honestly. I think this author did not deserve publication npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I haven't the fortitude to dismember this POS Nor to find good verses the EXTREMELY bad way we need to receive it... https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12-28/vibe-shift-ai-misinformation-reality-future/106098002 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Really? Have talked to Cain before and he’s all hat and no direction npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin We all did by being misinformed by both parties. They are really the same now so put both at last and second last in any election npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Not in the slightest it seems. And seems proven time and time again if the facts aren't distorted. @npub1kmh…e30s do you know of anyone who might be able to track down how this lowlife gets so much financial - or in kind - support? (I ask because you seem to be well connected). npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin So much re-framing of the offence.....😡 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Actual report from AAP: https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/115/660/343/303/092/557/original/5de82fcbdb58e6a5.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin ABC Australia: https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/115/660/335/457/612/618/original/fd3080a70ef7be5c.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin note "accidentally" npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin News Corpse: https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/115/660/328/990/998/879/original/49f37f44bc6fd71d.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin How the media changes facts - a thread npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Oh dear ☹️I hope they are less dismissive next time, when it WILL count. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin There is a mob in Belconnen on the west side of the lake. Their cries and loopy flight makes them a joy to see. Seems very prehistoric npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Looks designed for multiple voms, so maybe Xmas pub crawls? npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin If you are delivered by normal birth - which we mostly AL are - then why the convo? You all just suddenly exist. And are Australian citizens. No one did a test, or a course, or an online quiz. We just loved our neighbours and loved our locals. Dog whistling to the core. They cannot be foo**ed to be involved npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin And honestly, as this BUGS the HELL out of me, the way MyWay+ was rolled out stank of IT folks knowing what is best. Need to create an account? Whatever Need to create an account for my multiple children to get on a bus when they are too young to enrol? Whatever. Oh, I could have just gone to the newsagent and got a card, just like that. Crickets. Yet I did that and it just worked. Like the last MyWay. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin The way ACTION and TfC have been run, and do run, I think the minister has absorbed some smugness. Not forgiving Steele, just saying. It is like IT Support folk telling you off when their literal job is to assist you on using tech to complete your job. Yet this happens repeatedly. 😡 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Sounds like a wonderful endeavour. I hope your time with it next year is turtle-filled :flipturt: npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin This happened before but was not so visible. The point about the Steele issue is deflection from the fact Transport Canberra is not, and has never been, fit for purpose. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Aussies are just lazy. Always will be. Always was. (With reference to First Nations folk - no you were not lazy. Your ancestors took care of country and taught accordingly but were ignored) npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin These sorts of bonds are very hard to navigate. Then if it all works out then everyone wonders why it was so hard in the first place 🫂 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin What a horrible creep npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin On that subject, I went to "Capital Food Market" AKA "Belco Markets" and they have a liquorbarn formerly know as "First Choice" where I purchased some beverages. The staff were moving tonnes of wine bottles and shelving sometimes only some metres away from where they originally were. Turns out the new marketing model means selling shelf space to "brands" so that the first thing you see on entry is their stuff. The staff seemed tired and unimpressed by this innovation. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin p@[email protected] @npub1mqa…pr2c [@Sheep_Overboard](https://infosec.exchange/@Sheep_Overboard ) @npub1emv…wnhu Yes it is. For Coles, Wesfarmers etc, approved suppliers come onto the floor to resupply or recreate a display, completely outside of the Coles/Wesfarmer staff. The shelves at face and just-below-face are a higher price then the top shelf and the bottom two shelves. My favourite muesli - forget "low sugar" and "no added sugar" it is just oats, fruits and nuts - is on the bottom shelve, just happily existing. "Brands" purchase access in ColesWorth to show their products. In particular the (branded) bread isle is completely up to the "visitor" to arrange and populate. Rinse and repeat for other vendors. Very mercenary, but that is the business model of our big two supermarkets. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Deb seems to be a product that is a dependable staple and they wouldn’t pay for placement so Woolies tucked it away 😡 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin As long as you are eating it and don’t have a paddling pool full of it in the lounge 👍 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin What secret and/or trending thing have I missed? :ablobcattrash: npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Not in my neighbourhood yet though last year it took until December I think. Yours seem a bit early to me npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin All true computing is done black on/green/yellow/white/X11 🙂 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin ikr… ffs npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Interesting that the pivot of ACT Liberals from oblivion to success requires the candidates to generate enough money for the party, other wise they are dis-endorsed. https://archive.is/7oNBe (forgive bad formatting) No money, not good enough. Nothing about social or local issues candidates :frontfelloff: npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Don’t make your self responsible for the developers ignorance npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I hope most have been built on Mastodon web services and so will automatically adapt to the change npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Bit late, but it looks like they also need to be on the same server you are logged into, not a remote one... npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Toots have to be public though npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin RE: https://aus.social/@martintheg/115232955168037197 Found it - if you now hit boost you get the quote option as well as normal boost.

How is he getting away with this constantly? npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Please don't overexcite a Canberran when you use SPILL in a non-political toot 😞#cbr #canberra npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin My younger self never thought that my older self would unwind watching senate committee video but here I am #auspol npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin he sounds bad. After watching the last few Hairy Bikers series before cancer bit, I wonder if he should be filming. The Bikers did do that big C well though npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin you make it sound like Armenian food will bring him undone due to being meatless 😂 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin spinning enough that he’s generating electricity npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I know that folks download whole copies of Wikipedia but after a huge amount of AI slop websites for a simple lemon cake recipe, I’m downloading a copy of the Woman’s Weekly Food website for the after times npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin This literally starts with “In the last few months, we witnessed two violent attacks on pro-Israel events organized by American Jewish groups” Pro-Israel groups. The attacks were not because they were Jews. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin To make dementia the reason to forget a horrible person’s birthday is quite frankly dementedly horrible. They need to jog on. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin so miss saxophone in music npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin ah rocking it https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=N8EkGUm9q_A npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I may or may not have lost the plot, but this is where I am right now https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KhcaPNuaJNU Love you all ❤️❤️ npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin As far as I know anecdotally, the whole Australian army engagement in the Iraq war was not in the main fight. They covered the western part to ensure no weapons existed capable of launching anything that would hit Israel. Because they made it clear if _anything_ landed, they would start nuking everything they could 😳But yeah, Iran is the problem npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Yes, NEVER Johnny Walker. Always surprised they still exist when I hear their name npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Indeed 🙂 It is what it is, getting through it npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I got made redundant the other day. Just processing that. Please send cute pet pictures. Thanks #fediverse npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin gotta make sure memories are scattered. Jury indecision. Reasonable doubt. Etc. Etc. *sigh* npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Oh man, it'd cost nearly AUS$40K to land one here 😭 Will have to keep on with an electric bicycle for now npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin If you are keen, this has all the Australian Design Rules it'd need to match to get registered as a passenger car: https://www.nhvr.gov.au/files/media/document/646/202412-0841-nhvim-appendix-a-vehicle-category-codes-and-adr-tables.pdf npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin We don't have the class of light vehicles in Australia to make it legal to drive on the road. From the NRMA: "Regulatory hurdles: Overseas these vehicles are classed as quadricycles, a classification that overseas impacts their road legality and usage. Jurisdictions such as the Netherlands initially faced hurdles as a lack of regulation saw a proliferation of unregistered micro cars taking up valuable footpath space. It has since regulated these vehicles to ensure loopholes were not exploited. Classification updates required: Australian design rule (ADR) vehicle categories currently jump from two and three-wheelers (mopeds and motorcycles) straight to passenger cars." We go from mobility scooters (which technically are classified as pedestrians), to motorcycles/tricycles, then cars, and a bazillon classes of heavy vehicle. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I so want one here in Australia but the rules prevent it 😭 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I tuned in at the end and thought it was a big concrete mausoleum with a strange wooden add-on alongside with a, what, lap pool or elongated carp pool. It was all so removed from emotional needs a dwelling should give. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin A really,really nice origin story there ❤️ npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Were there ever books, or just props to socialising :ablobwobble: npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin I need to get out more!!! npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin How on EARTH did they name these?? npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Congrats! It took a while npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin That turned out to be just the right amount of storm 😄. Just before I took the screenshot there was a large black section and the last time I saw that I lost a skylight and a car, and the CSIRO lost all its greenhouses. Phew! #Canberra #cbr npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Good luck everyone, been nice knowing you all! https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/830/883/496/474/008/original/6f8286829877ff66.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Um, Happy Birthday I guess? 🙂 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Very lovely.

I used to like his mainstream stuff a lot of years back npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Didn’t show him in his Howard Hughes phase, with mason jars of piss and the weird ideas in his head about our shared reality. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin here you go https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-12-19/australian-cartoonist-michael-leunig-dies/104748614 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin fuck Google and it’s AI shit npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Don’t promise me a great day without evidence :WelshPixie: npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Putting the word trusted in quotes is suggesting a lot of things..... https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/645/319/968/540/091/original/2e589e53ab8a0132.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin He was scoping for a "blowie" or a "handie" from a naive young woman 😡 . Real sleaze. And that standard of public interaction has been reinforced and promoted all the way until the present. Yes, ACAB. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Wow. NSW cops get moar powers to stop and search people, and discover minor things in.... 3% of the searched people. There must be better ways to waste police time on? Or should be be looking at some de-funding? https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/645/223/560/386/014/original/3b56dcfbc72b69ca.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin The ignoring of Canberra continues : https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/605/821/066/415/483/original/8a4a5aa017ab8254.png npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Given how much money that is still on old cards, I reckon there will eventually be an Access Canberra form to fill in with the old card number and a bank account, and they'll just transfer it out. There might be some checks on how many cards you cash out, but I imagine given the incompetence levels that might not happen. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin It really annoys me just how little information is being given correctly, and very often it conflicted with the actual information on the Transport Canberra Myway+ data. Only Chery needed to get a Myway+ account in order to allow the funds to be transferred. See the official ACT Seniors advice from late September 2024: Over 70's - https://actseniorscard.org.au/images/downloadable_files/MyWay_Seniors_Flyer_70_and_over.pdf , and under 70's - https://actseniorscard.org.au/images/downloadable_files/MyWay_Seniors_Flyer_6069.pdf . I had $11 on my old Myway card and I left it behind rather than registering. But $80... I'd probably have registered. The easiest way was to go to a Myway+ agent, show them your concession and get a travel card. The agent marks and registers the card appropriately for your concession type. I got my 88 year old Mum to follow that procedure, she found it simple, and she has been tapping on and off for free using a Myway+ card. For Jude, you could have put funds on the card when you got one, or just put some cash on it via this link: https://www.mywayplus.transport.act.gov.au/quickrecharge . No stupid two factor digital accounts, apps, or any other crap. The Canberra Times, RiotAct, and numerous TC reps all kept going on about needing to get a digital account and that is just untrue. I wonder if TC was intentionally herding people to get named travel accounts.... npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin For anyone struggling try this (scroll down to see text) https://archive.is/8594f npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Booo! npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin FYI the robbing and trashing of the temples was in a Victorian registered van and the perpetrators were picked up and arrested by police near Yass. #KenBehrensInnocent npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Honestly, you all need to split the bill. Can't think of a way to explain that to said BIL, sorry. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin So far, it seems very. I suppose it is the concentration of companies under the same brand? I moved my insurance to a small brand for this reason, and now - of course - it has been bought buy a big player/playah 😠 npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Was there a hashtag to follow for the event? npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin It isn't volume, you cheap, cheap cunse, it is profits! https://mediacdn.aus.social/media_attachments/files/113/265/937/992/852/304/original/6e54314e382a459f.jpeg npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Those are some lovely bikes! npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin That is what real estate agents are paid for - the fairy dust on the turd 😄 I hope their costs are reasonable, though with the listing price range you still might get a bit back. npub1xntvckjcn3egvulwj0kjnwuguhxv5dxk4hgp7dc228t3369y2mks5l5fm5 Martin Amazing that the previous Liberal government spent millions, royal commissions, and several government bodies like the Australian Building and Construction Commission, to stop unions donating to the Labor party, yet the Labor when in government did it to themselves (with the CFMEU takeover) without breaking stride
