Excellent news for a lot of those immigrants too. People do move here willingly for a better life too. Yeah rich people are getting richer but those immigrants and their families (which I am) have a better life too. Not trying to push on you but something can be a win for all.

Offsetting that dominant buyer inclination were record sales of eco-friendly cars, namely battery-electric vehicles (87,212, +161.1%), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (11,212, +88.8%) and the sought-after traditional hybrid cars, still the most popular alternative-fuel options with 98,439 units sold last year (+20.3%). Of the latter, Toyota alone sold 72,815 petrol-electric cars, representing 74 per cent of hybrid vehicle sales across all brands as well as 31.5 per cent of Toyota’s overall sales.

Toyota sold twice as many vehicles as the next best manufacturer. They dominate the SUV, van, Ute markets. I can't see them going anywhere soon.

I'm with that. We should have a dickhead tax; hurt yourself doing something while drunk then you pay, hurt yourself skydiving then you pay, hurt yourself crazy driving then you pay.

This. I'm euro heritage with a BMI ~29. When I stand amongst my family I look average, when I stand with my Chinese mates I look overweight, when I'm with my pacific islander friends I look slim. The idea that all overweight/obese (by BMI) people are unhealthy is absurd.

I'm not sure where your from but in my team at work, half of us attend gym at least once a week and we all regularly discuss diet and exercise. It's not 0.01% that care about themselves.
