I made the relativity case, because the whole thing is bait in the first place, but if you donât reckon kids everywhere are looking at the science in front of them - and every other farking indicator of decline - and feeling a bit horrified by their coming âprimeâ and whatever their later years might resemble, thereâs rocks in your skull.

If that is the case then they get to see too much media crap.
âŚall but one!
In my day I got forgotten at the bus stop and had to walk 6kms home with sisters.
Another time forgotten at school and had to wait over an hour.
These days on duty teachers ring you up if your not at school within 15minutes to collect.
I think itâs a cold faced lie that we have problems with Energy Generation.
We donât. We produce bucket loads of the stuff. On roofs around the country. So much itâs overloading the grid during the day.
Australia has a shortage of storage and poor transmission.
Solve those two problems and all of a sudden new base load power plants become much less of a problem.
I donât think they would need to be a priority.
Iâd love to see some modelling if we stored say 80% of the solar generated across the country. How much energy we would have on tap for times at night, when itâs cloudy, for those dwellings without solar panels.
The libs ridiculous we are the pretend governemt doing a touring enquiry hasnt gone that well for them
ooh ooh ooh a topic i can actually provide some insight on!
itâs a pretty flippant summary, but basically over the last 20 years thereâs gradually less and less, to where itâs now pretty much nowhere, for teenagers to go and just hang about that a) doesnât cost money they donât have, or b) gets security/cops called on them. covid lockdowns obviously made an existing problem worse by also taking away school as a socialising space, but pointing at them as the main cause is like saying hiring worsfold cost us 20 years worth of flags.

-edit- a not insignificant part of my job is helping councils respond to resident complaints of hoodlums using sporting facilities to play sport in an (deliberately) informal, unorganised manner
-edit2- âkids shouldnât be using a cricket oval to play cricket, because us ratepayers need somewhere for our dogs to take massive shtsâ
-edit3- no iâm not having a good day, why do you ask

My daughter was in pre-school and Kindergarten for those years. I home schooled her for half of '21. During that time there were all sorts of routines that needed to be followed and she got used to those routines and it became normal for her - then when those routines all disappeared she really struggled, it was all a bit much for her. It was a tough year and a bit with lots of anxiety but we got through it with a lot of help. Thankfully sheâs okay now, but I can see why there are a lot more kids struggling with their mental health.

Jaclyn Symes will be Victoriaâs next treasurer, the ABC understands.
A formal announcement is expected on Thursday, when Ms Symes is set to be sworn in and become the first female treasurer in Victoriaâs history.
It comes following the resignation of Victoriaâs longest-serving treasurer, Tim Pallas, earlier this week.
Mr Pallas on Monday announced he would be standing down from the role and quitting politics.
Jaclyn Symes has served as attorney-general for the past four years. (ABC Gippsland: Sarah Maunder)
Ms Symes, from Benalla in north-east Victoria, has served as Victoriaâs attorney-general since 2020. The ABC understands Sonya Kilkenny will step into the attorney-general position.
This is a proper article on the state of Nuclear Energy.

Thanks, that was an informative read.
NZ prices are similar to Singapore.
