Unless you bought a pixel, graphene’d it and then paid a homeless person to activate a pre-paid data only sim which you would top up with vouchers paid in cash and used a von and international voip service…

The Brisbane airport rail connection runs about half as many train services as the Perth airport, which seems about half the amount of travellers each year as Brisbane airport. It’s crazy, double the fare burden, half the patronage, and stuck in a monopoly contract until 2036.

Just grep the source for "wayland" and you'll see what I mean.”

Housing in Australia is cooked, tax settings and lack of oversight mean it’s basically an investment product that people can live in.
Any policy to reign in the silliness would crash the economy and smash a significant number of paper millionaires.
