What is interesting is how quick govts can act when needed, funny how it takes a crises to get politicians to agree and do things for the greater good.
It does make you wonder why we donβt act so quickly for other mass killers like obesity, opioid deaths etc.
I guess the sad reality is the perception is those people are masters of their own destiny.

Seems criminal we had all those years discussing what a woman is and which people can speak publicly, and yet no decent disaster plans or resources.
We've been duped and now have to pay to buy some time -

For laughing at all the conspiracy videos on social media by chuds who think its a Chinese originated weapon that is mostly harmless to humans, but driven by the world order to secure greater restrictions over personal freedumbs and redistribute wealth to the Illuminati Lizard People.
Or something. I kind of lost track after they said "harmless", thinking about convoys of Italian military loaded with corpses.

@taniwharugby Yep ours dropped from $1.43 down to $1.20, no doubt will drop lower. But yes I wont be driving much that is for sure. Long term this will also hurt the state as they get a lot of revenue from petrol tax.

The theory is that petrol tax is used for roads / infrastructure, so it should have no effect right, as there will be much less wear / tear on the infrastructure.
Yeah, right.

It is a poor theory - here in Oz the tax just goes in the bucket with the rest, and there is no evidence at state or federal level that it goes dollar-for-dollar on roads.
Tollways are all built by private operators here in Sydney.
