Mr Perrottet told Nine Radio this morning he was pursuing cashless gaming cards and poker machine reforms, putting him in conflict with the gambling body, “because it’s the right thing to do”.

It came after ClubsNSW boss Josh Landis was quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald this morning saying the premier’s position was causing “hyper-anxiety” in the gaming industry.

“I think it’s fair to say that the premier has very little understanding of this issue and has acted from his conservative Catholic gut rather than based on evidence,” he said.

Mr Perrottet said Mr Landis’ comment was “offensive”, and that people in prominent positions would be forced to resign if they talked that way about other religious groups.

“The decision that I’ve made, and the views I have in relation to gaming in New South Wales, is not informed by the fact that I’m Catholic. It’s because I believe this is the right thing to do,” he said.

“Now I think it’s completely wrong for the CEO of Clubs New South Wales to say that this is … part of my Catholic faith.

“And I’d say that’s offensive, not to me but to people of faith across New South Wales.

‘Vatholics’ are people who enjoy Vat-69 whisky.

A liquor also known as ‘the Pope’s telephone number’.

Howard and Abbott cut out so many resources. Folks working in the sectors are turning away women and children, who are left to sleep in their cars. It’s women 65 years and older who are the biggest rising population of homeless folks though.

The Institute of Public Affairs (IPA) visited regional towns this week with a report warning that 10,000 jobs were at risk in Dubbo and the Central Tablelands due to “reckless” emissions reductions policies.

The report arrived at that figure by defining every industry that has C02 emissions per worker above the national average as “at-risk”.

Industries deemed at-risk under this definition include the entire agriculture sector, all electricity supply workers, and all waste collection, treatment, and disposal services.

Western Sydney University environmental scientist Ian Wright said that was a highly misleading presentation of the data.

“That report is a great example of scaremongering. It focuses on fear and accentuates the worst-case scenario,” Dr Wright said.

It’s basically an extrapolation looking at whole-industry estimates.

I hope so. Maybe we can go back to a two-party system of moderates. Labor vs. the Teals.

I can’t throw stones.

Some years back, it was strongly suspected that my sister may have ovarian cancer.

Obviously, proper determination was needed, and exploratory surgery was the recommended course.

After the operation had been cancelled three times over a period of months (no anaesthetist available, surgeon decided to go on holidays, some other bullshit i can’t remember) i acted on her behalf.

Described the situation in letters to:

• Local MP (Opposition party at the time)

• Incumbent Minister for Health

• Shadow Minister for Health

I ensured that they were all aware of the letters to the other parties.

Sister’s surgery was scheduled within a week or ten days, something like that. Prior to the op, surgeon stopped by her bed and asked ‘just who the hell do you know, anyway?’.

To the organ grinders, not the monkeys.

Although 83 schools were closed under Labor, another 88 were opened. Under the Coalition, 38 schools have been closed since 2011 and another 37 opened, while 18 others have been placed “in recess”. Importantly, these numbers do not show whether infrastructure — under either government — kept pace with demand. Small schools can be merged or replaced with larger ones, for example, or existing schools expanded through school upgrades. Still, the number of students affected by school closures under either Labor or the Coalition was far less than the capacity added by new schools.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2023-03-24/fact-check-checkmate-sydney-most-tolled-city/102135034

However, on the question of which city was the “most-tolled”, the government agency Roads and Maritime Services — since merged with Transport for NSW — told the inquiry that comparing cities was complicated by the “range of road financing and user-pay models in place around the world”. According to the agency’s chief executive, Ken Kanofski, these differences meant “direct comparison between cities based solely on toll road kilometres is not necessarily an accurate reflection of the role road tolling plays in large cities across the world”. “Within that context, it would appear that a number of comparable international cities have more toll road kilometres and higher toll charges than Sydney,” he said. Mr Kanofski pointed to London’s congestion charge, arguing that, at a cost of “around $20 per day” in 2017 prices, a daily commute in downtown London worked out to be “approximately 30 per cent more expensive than a similar ‘to and from work’ journey in Sydney on WestConnex “. In addition, he said, “Tokyo has a total toll road network length of 300 kilometres — more than three times that of Sydney”, adding that a two-way trip on the 14-kilometre Tokyo Bay Aqua Line would cost “almost five times the capped cost of the 33 kilometres of WestConnex”.

Grattan Institute transport and cities program director Marion Terrill told CheckMate that the number of tolled kilometres was an important measure but, on its own, not enough to say which city was the most-tolled. That’s because “it makes a big difference if the tolls are expensive or cheap”, she said, and it would matter less “if you tolled the whole network at a modest rate”. CheckMate approached several transportation experts — including the editor-in-chief of the international Journal of Transport Economics & Policy — but was unable to find research identifying the world’s most-tolled city. And while various reports and analyses consider the tolling regimes or attempt to summarise individual toll road costs in different countries, they do not explicitly compare urban areas.

According to one article published by the World Bank in 2013, China — which was expanding its toll networks — accounted for 70 per cent of the world’s “total length of toll roads”.
