Not entirely palatable
@randahl For the "but Hamas" crowd:

Twenty truckloads of #Aid to enter #Gaza.

Rough maths.

2 million humans in Gaza.

Comes out to 1 truck per 100,000 humans.

Volume: If 20ft "high cube" shipping container: 37.5 cubic metres
Divide by 100,000 = 0.00037 cubic metres per person. Roughly 1.5 cups of space of aid supplies per person.
If 40ft "high cube" containers then 3 cups space.

Or by weight:

Weight: If 30 tons per 100,000 people.
Then 300g per person. (10.6 ounces) ~ weight of 1 large cup water.

Twenty aid trucks to be allowed into Gaza - ABC Radio

I feel the need to apologise to the first nations people for the actions of the rest of my fellow countrymen.

1st
for the fact our government feels the need to get the permission of 97% to listen to suggestions from the 3% about the 3%

2nd,
for the fact that the 97% feels that you don't deserve the right to make suggestions about issues effecting only you.

The voice was, at best, a token gesture, and we can't even bring ourselves to give that.
Shame

Yeah, this is how politics should be run, screw independent bodies and their illusion of independence.

What's the EPA anyway?
Just a bunch of pinko, commo, hairy armpits , sitting around sucking on their happy tabbacy bongs, singing kombiah, trying to block some poor little private multinationals just trying to make a living.
And for what?
What's the point of a livable planet if we can't have corporate profits offshored into the Camen islands.

I mean really.

Its almost like there's a global conspiracy without lizard people and pedophile pizzas.

How can that be?

There has to be lizard people. Pizza toppings are, as always, optional.

Well duh, now that we have to pay the plebs to get some form of work out of them, the game comes down to stripping that money back from them tout suite.

Admittedly a high end stripping, but one more easily identified.

Why more supply will never fix the housing market

When I began studying economics in high school, we were first taught the foundation concept of “supply and demand”. However, when you read the commentary and analysis surrounding the Australian housing market, you would believe there is only a supply side. Because the demand side rarely gets a mention. This narrative misses the fact that
