Okay this is huge for #Queensland and #Brisbane - 50c fares are to be trialed from August. To assist in cost-of-living crisis and to encourage people to use PT instead of their cars. Will be of huge help to people living on the fringes who pay heaps in PT fares.

Queensland to slash public transport fares to 50 cents for six months from August. A brave experiment, Premier.

Prediction: It's never as simple as they claim. We'll probably see heavy use/crowding on the services with useful, usable timetables. Little difference on the services and in the suburbs and towns where PT is slow and infrequent - in those areas almost everyone will keep driving.

Hey - your reporting might be starting to show the influence of your new CEO’s biases. Seems to me that in this story,

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-22/tenants-fail-to-vacate-landlord-out-of-pocket-housing-crisis/103757112

The words “the agent accidentally sent a lease renewal to the tenants” are the only reporting of the real story here. So, the tenants got a lease renewal, and by golly they thought they had a lease renewal? How is this anyone’s fault but the agent’s, and then the landlord’s for choosing to be a jerk about it?

I get that “The tenants denied ABC's request for comment”, but seriously, you therefore, with the exception of that one sentence above, ONLY attempt this from the POV of the landlord???

And, sorry, let me get the world’s smallest violin for the guy who had a $2000 expense after (a) SELLING a BLOODY HOUSE and (b) turning upside down the lives of the tenants who RECEIVED A LEASE RENEWAL.

New at my Patreon... What I often yearn for, between doing activities and seeing sights, is to just chill. Arriving in Longreach by train, I had time for that:
