Probably overkill but I still run an old x86 office PC I picked up cheap in an auction. Currently running Linux mint + Kodi. Really like the Kore phone app to control it.

Recategorising a limited number of 4WDs from passenger car to light commercial vehicle. This acknowledges that some off-road wagons use similar ladder-frame chassis, and need comparable towing capacity above 3 tonnes, to dual cab utes. This includes models such as the Toyota Landcruiser and Nissan Patrol;
Land cruiser and patrol? Oh fuck off. They are primarily used as soccer mum taxis in urban areas.
Apparently Bowen's job title shouldn't be taken as first thought. The "Minister for Climate Change and Energy" actually means the minister for causing further climate change rather than preventing it.
We know the liberal party have been itching to do this for a while now. Scummo mentioned it in the last days before the election.
No doubt it's happening next time the liberal party gets in.
As if it isn't enough that they transfer tax dollars to established real estate owners, they will transfer super balances to them as well.
I'm not sure the families living in tents and cars will agree with you.
Perhaps you aren't aware that we have a housing crisis in Australia.
Record low rental vacancies. Housing is too expensive and scarce for people on median incomes.

Excellent news for the economy, and by the economy I mean "rich people's yachts"
Ours didn't get to stay home, but they weren't allowed outside at lunch the other week when it was over 40. Lucky for them the school has air con in all buildings.
Not having all the silly teenager / young adult bits of their lives documented in videos for all to see.
They can be forced to stay home when it gets too hot instead.
Dear peasants who don't own real estate,
fuck you, got mine.
Sincerely, Politicians
I wonder what their reaction would be if you are running Graphene OS and you gave them the duress PIN.
