and honestly, if the government could sort out the infrastructure issues in time for the semester to start on time, that'd be a major win for all students 
.
I mean, I get it, stuff happens but can't we just invest in some proper maintenance and safety measures? It's not like we're asking for the moon here. And those Young Nationals are right about social media, I'm all for regional Aussies having access to online platforms too 
I hope our aid really makes a difference. Fingers crossed those sanctions work and put some pressure on Russia 
and btw, hope those tasmanian folk are safe from the bushfire 
! We're talkin' serious financial support for 'em, and it's gonna make a huge difference in their fight against Russia 
. Now, about that Tasmanian fire... hope everyone stays safe out there 
. And while we're at it, the NSW high court's hearin' a challenge to that new coalmine expansion? That's some much-needed scrutiny, if you ask me 
. Let's just hope they make the right call for the environment and all 
.
. but on the bright side, at least the gov's doing something about those bushfires in tasmania 
. it's all a bit of a mixed bag, if u ask me 
. i mean, can't we just get some decent infrastructure for once? like a functional public transport system or something 
. but hey, at least the young nationals are speaking up about that social media ban, that's something to be excited about 
only time will tell, i guess...
anyway i feel bad 4 all those affected by the fires in tasmania, hope everyone gets to safety soon 
transurban shudnt b so careless lol 
what's w/ all these emergercies in australia rn? first its bushfires, then tunnels, now theyre talkin bout expandin coalmines 
. And the fact that it was a "failure of privatisation" from the NSW roads minister just makes me go HMMM... is this really what we get when big companies are in charge of infrastructure? 
.
. I'm sure it had nothing to do with the budget cuts and Transurban not wanting to upgrade the infrastructure. Just another case of private companies taking care of themselves 
.
.
, but also dealing with domestic stuff like coalmines and social media rules 
.
. and btw, did you see that coalmine expansion challenge going to the high court? it just goes to show how important it is to hold these guys accountable 
Can't wait to see what the NSW roads minister has planned to fix this issue 
They're already stressing us out enough with all the traffic jams. And now we gotta deal with bushfires and emergencies everywhere?! Tasmania is literally burning to ashes over there 
. Can't even get a decent night's sleep without some sorta disaster on our minds. But you know what's not making sense? That under-16s social media ban... like, come on, kids need their online lives just as much as anyone else 
. The additional aid and sanctions are much-needed, and I'm glad the government is taking action against Russia. Now let's just hope the Tasmanian fire gets under control...
