gold coast have controversally and wrongly sacked their coach they say there not getting results but they aren’t going backwards and using the last couple of weeks as an exaemple they were never going to win those games and i thought they played well in a losing game last week i’ll also say the afl should not subsidise any attempt to get damian hardwick or chris scott (the later is doubtful as an option but was speculated). air tahiti nui have a lot of flights cancelled due to strikes worker treatment should be a priority over profits and in the short term you would lose more money risking strikes. never going with tight connections example at sydney airport from international to domestic you would need almost 3 hours in the morning peak due to the effects of the airport curfew on overseas arrivals meaning they almost all land close together so a high rate of delays made even more likely because conditions can change en route so if they think it will be before 6am arrival and hold the plane at the departure airport and than things change is a possibility the only time before 9am you could risk a connection of near 2 hours is in winter if the flight originates in london (those flights are useable from singapore as they both stop there) as they are the only ones allowed to land between 5 and 6am in sydney due to londons curfew so the odds of a risky delay are much lower always allow more time when there is a lot of international arrivals close together in australia melbourne and adelaide are easier to connect (unless your on a low cost carrier or rex in melbourne) because they are in the same building. darwin and gold coast as well but darwin has almsot no international flights now and gold coast is not a useful connection point for domestic flights. united airlines have a strange idea that climate change causes night delays to say that is a direct cause is very strange. westfarmers have to increase wages if their profits are that big. industrial relations laws need to have workers wages as the priority not profits its espeically important for young people who due to coalition policy have been the big losers in terms of oppotunites for wage rises. the coalition will never deserve to be back in power unless they get wages moving. basically the priorities are getting wages moving, tackling price gouging, making houses affordable by increasing supply, stopping over charging rents and prioritising getting people a home to life in over people investing in property (with changes to negative gearing a good way to do that). albury to canberra fligths are returnig with fly pelican for 6 mounths. rasing wages leads to more consumer spending and is not the main impact on inflation. the coalition have caused the bills they have blocked to be nescuary due to them doing nothing on housing or wages and the misinformation bill is largely been forced by the extreme rights comments on trump and co-vid made it needed. the greens have abandoned their traditional base with their policies cutting down trees for houses (yes we need more houses id support the idea but it is a bizzare thing from the greens). the liberals the nats and the greens have not only taken over by extremists they are now destroying their traditional bases for the nats it is doing a lot more for queensland and ignoring the southern nats views who are more moderate and sensible and don’t have any benefits from the right way extreme ways really the nats have had only awful leaders who are too right wing in the last 23 years or ones who are mostly nobodys.
