You can not tax your way to posterity.

The $100m I assume needs to go to unemployed people so they can spend it.

A summary of the news is: Torrens to Darlington project is expected to cost $15.4b and completed by 2031. The government picked Herrenknecht as the supplier of the tunnel boring machines.

What about a bunch of warning signs and an open pit the width of a bus that a standard car would find difficult to negotiate?

I said it earlier but power prices on July 1st are going down
Not just not inflation increase but actually down.

Just noticed Origin and AGL prices for electricity are going down a few percent on the 1st of July instead of up to match inflation or worse.

Don't know about anyone else, but I haven't bought a new vacuum cleaner in at least 10 years. The old Hoover that I got from Godfreys is still going strong. I had 2x Hoover's from Godfrey's. Well I bought 1, that died within 12 months and that got replaced under warranty with a brand new one that d...

SBD wrote: That is what I meant. The others successfully diversified further out of their niche market to compete with other companies diversifying in to that niche.

I would say Godfrey's actually became more niche as time went on. Excluding themselves from more and more of the vacuum cleaning market.
