I saw a comment on this somewhere:

"Good to know anus opening up to a fresh approach"

😆

Larry is indeed on the naughty list in the widespread staff sentiment.

I hope the external committee to appoint a new chancellor acts quickly and whoever they choose works to implement the needed governance reform as their top priority.

If that occurs, I don't expect any of the remaining appointed council to remain very long.

The council said it had agreed pro-chancellor Larry Marshall would act as chancellor until a permanent appointment was made.

I assume that means a supporter of Julie Bishop? Alright then: do it again, ANU. Power to people.

Long overdue.

It will take someone big to fill ANU’s vacancy.

I can already see the Facebook grifters that complain about it being too expensive, then saying it would have been cheaper to build 30 years ago so why are they doing it now.

Yep, not particularly far but I'm sure they'd like a few minutes less on the trip back and forth from the city. One can hope that the tram will eventually get further south but I can't see it happening anytime soon - Belco would probably be the next most sensible route given the shorter distance and higher density. If it weren't for political considerations regarding northside vs southside I suspect even Woden would have been lower priority.

Woden is about as south as Dickson is north.

Good news for those wanting to get to the city from the south, less ideal for tourists and those who work in the parliamentary triangle.

Hopefully they can move a bit faster now and get something happening to at least start some preliminary works on 2b when they finish stage 2a rather than waiting a few years between stages.

Queanbeyan council: Please use Ellerton Dr

Also Queanbeyan council: Let's reduce the speed on Ellerton Dr down to 50km/h

The year is flying by.

90s screensaver vibes

I hadn't even noticed Enlighten was back on again - might pop over this weekend before it finishes now you've helpfully reminded me of its existence.

Sideways.!

Antivaxxers are among the shittest people in the world

Fuck 'em, with a wire brush

Probably not, I think Labor would be back with an actual majority after any attempt at this. I think the Greens would lose more though than the Liberals, both in votes from annoyed members and the power they have under the status quo re. forming a majority.

I mean. They could do it, but would either of them survive a single term pissing off their own voter base that much?

I can see it working, but only if a certain subset of both parties make up the overwhelming majority of that party's seats. The old "wet" liberals, who have mostly disappeared from federal politics thanks to the teals and the 2022 Greens, and Greens who might be hangovers who joined the party a while ago but are more of a natural fit with the teals.

You're certainly not going to get a coalition between a Dutton style Liberal Party and a Sriranganathan Greens.

I can't see a Greens/Liberal government actually working on the very slim chance that it would ever occur, but it'd certainly be a switch up for the ACT.

These geocaches are getting out of hand!

It'd certainly get a reaction if you walked into a police station holding something like this...

"We do not want members of the public to pick them up, we do not want them to bring them to police stations."

Words. I have no words.

Doesn't seem a cause for particular concern, but if you see one probably not a good plan to play with it.

yeah there's something...very special about petrol heads gathering in the middle of anthropogenically driven weather extremes
