  1. I think it was 66 % that did not vote for Labour. The vast majority of voters being ignored cannot be good for democracy.

  2. A freight train with no passengers. Other better coverage showed Train driver is much further ahead at the front of this long train and not derailed or injured in any way. Some better coverage of YouTube of Inverleigh shows the locomotives stopped just before the town level crossing. Also shown is the water damage to the track ballast from a stream that cropped up due to a very heavy burst of rain. This is the Melbourne to Adelaide line that has only a few little used high subsidy passenger trains a week but hundreds of freight trains that will not be able to use the line for quite a while until the wreckage cleared and track rebuilt, hopefully with better drainage.

  3. Seems the Police may be reluctant to arrest anyone committing crimes if they judge the persons poor mental state is the reason for the crime. So keeping the crime stats down.

  5. Of course you can have all the use you like of your home gym setup with no problems. Might be as simple as walking up and down your home stairs. Push ups etc all safer than in public areas. Use you backyard to exercise and get some health giving vitamin D. As studies go on the benefit of vitamin D is becoming more apparent. Exercise bikes are so safe, Roller to convert a road bike to an exercise bike should be simple too. If you have gone with the apartment living push you may have more problems with this.

  6. Common for a train wreck. Once they leave the track at speed they just pile up randomly with all the kinetic energy involved.

  8. At 0:32 . While the Zig Zag route taken may be 154 years old. The train consisting if the locomotive and carriages would be around only 80 to 110 years old and imports from Queensland. 154 year old equipment is very rare in Australia and none is in regular operation.

  9. Lots of Australians now wish they could buy a new Holden too. But too late after GM Holden stopped production in 2017 with buyers preferring imported SUVs. Ford and Toyota also closing manufacturing here around the same time for similar reasons. Even the Police would much prefer a Holden to do the job instead of the BMWs they have now. Even the US did not buy enough of the export Holden's badged as the Pontiac GTO and G8 then later the Chevrolet SS. Closest you can get is one of those.

  12. How many cars here is not the issue here so much as the makes and models involved. Suspect it is just the few midels made in the US and also sold here.

  13. So taxpayers spent $3000 Million , suffered the congestion, emissions and disruption of construction and the new short light rail route has delivered a service that takes 66.7% longer than the buses it is to replace. Be interested to know the on going operating costs compared to fare revenue. The less users it attracts the smoother it will run. Not what I would see as the best expenditure of public money. More a crackpot idea supported by crackpots.
