Duffy on what he's doing to improve the airport experience for travelers: "Maybe I want a workout area where people might get some blood flowing doing some pull ups or step ups in the airport."

I’m old enough to remember when John Howard had to sack three ministers and his chief of staff, Graham Morris, because of travel rorts.

I know they all do it, but my hot take is that if you’re a govt MP, attending the AFL/NRL Grand Final isn’t working.

Albo’s fans totally shocked that media latch onto stories of ministers spending hundreds of thousand of dollars in personal travel ‘entitlements’. If only there was something Albo could do to prevent these distractions?

Drove an EV 1600km in 10 days. Spent more on e-tolls in the final 40 mins driving through Sydney than I did on electricity recharging the car during the entire trip. 😂

I know it’s hard to believe based on this headline and teaser, but it turns out Vision Zero didn’t work because it was never actually implemented
Cecilia Milbourne’s death on a dangerous Los Angeles road highlights the failure of Vision Zero, a U.S. initiative to reduce traffic deaths.

A Post investigation found that cities often prioritize vehicle traffic over pedestrian safety.
America’s plan to protect pedestrians failed. A young woman’s death reveals why.
U.S. officials adopted Europe's Vision Zero initiative, but many cities have seen an increase in pedestrian fatalities despite efforts to improve road safety.

This channel swapping malarkey is the best reason to not watch free to air coverage. Just show the whole match on the secondary HD channel and be done with it #Ashes
