So the RTA's own modelling showed the Rozelle Interchange would be a traffic disaster—but generating more toll road trips for Transurban was more important. by KarunaX in c/fuck_cars@lemmy.ml

This is the inevitable result of an electoral system that establishes the dominance of two similar parties (a #Uniparty ) allied with permission to accept huge amounts of money to these two parties but no-one else. We can see this with new electoral laws in Victoria, which are now being emulated in Canberra to hamstring Independents and minor parties. https://youtu.be/7FLqYpD6eYw?si=smGlZmiT2fsfuC1r

@mozz @immibis Game Theory would suggest exactly this response from Iran if it is interested in maintaining peace into the future.

@immibis @mozz I am not quite as cynical as you regarding the UN. Yes, the do seem to be a Western toy much of the time, but they also have their moments of clarity. It will be interesting to see their response to Israel's complaints.

@mozz Strange. Israel totally ignores the #UN whenever it suits, but then expects them to come running to get #Israel out of a mess it created.

@halcyoncmdr @Silverseren Quite right. Hamas is a political organisation, and recognised as such by many (but not the Zionist supporting West). The Oct 7th attacks were carried out by the military wing of Hamas, not its politicians. I am unsure as to the level of integration between the 2 parts.
