It was a Last Minute decision to go to a very Important meeting . That's why the Airfares cost was HIGH. The sport attendance is less simple. Not sure Chalmers is that happy. The Lib/Nats were More practised at those sorts of things, SUSSan Ley fell foul of it. Not a Good look but getting a big rev up in the news as one would expect. Nev

Trusting SKY News ? You must be THE Supreme Optimist of ALL TIME. You CAN Guarantee it's BS . Nev.

Solar farm on agricultural land + extremly hot air temperatures + absence of site supervision can give rise to a serious fire hazard. This happened at a very large solar farm at Wellington NSW. I suppose those factors were not realised when the site was approved. You can see from the aerial photo that the site at the time of photographing was not complete. I don't know how old the photo is. Here is a news report about the event. The report is from SkyNews, but there's only a tad of anti-renewable bias in it.

Defo not a good look. What happens will depend on her influence in him retaining power

Yeah that one doesn't pass the sniff test in a cost of living crisis. I think if Albo reads the room he should cut her loose and tell his ministers that just adherence to the letter of the rules is not enough.

Not Albo personally, but ALP minister Anika Wells. Thousands of taxpayer dollars for air fares to fly her husband and kids to three AFL grand finals and two interstate tests. And they claim it doesn't breach guidelines. Obviously the guidelines need an urgent overhaul. If any of us wanted to fly our partner around the country, we'd have to pay for it ourselves. And I bet she's earning a hell of a lot more than any of us. And before you go calling me out for ALP bashing, I would be just as disgusted if it was a LNP member.

Correct Jerry.

That's correct Nev.

You are correct, the transmission system is always being upgraded, but not the huge amount new transmission that is having to be built. As far as it not mattering if a solar farm is underutilised, the generation is a very small part. We have the transmission line that was built into a remote place at the place of the farm. The backup for the plant when its not running. The GT running at min gen for inertia , the tranmission size voltage regulators hanging of some of the poles/wires. Intermittents are the cheapest form of new electricity generation, it is just all the extras that makes it expensive.

We in South Vic are having some near perfect days but don't tell anyone. The grass is growing like Mad. The dam is full. The Ducks are happy. Nev

One of the better Trump cartoons I've seen Nicola Jennings on Putin’s dealings with Trump over Ukraine – cartoon https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/picture/2025/dec/07/nicola-jennings-putin-dealings-trump-ukraine-cartoon?CMP=share_btn_url

Well, I didn't get to commute on the motorbike in this week just gone, which is a pain. The weather was OK, and ithe rain had passed through, but the plate for my top box is too narrow for the luggage rack. Of course, lazy bones here decided to wait for the Sunday right before returning to work to try and mount the plate and top box, and found out too late to aget an adaptor kit (I searched through all sorts of shrapnel I have at home but nothing quite fit. Back at work, there is little time to research, but this morning, after teasing some locals about another Ashes crumble, I found an adapter kit on eBay, so hopefully it arrives by Tuesday as I am not going in until early Wednesday morning. And, at the moment, the weather gods are telling me Wednesday and Thursday there is a moderate chance of rain. Of course, at the moment, Tuesday is forecast to be raining (something like 95% chance of rain)... all day. I haven't yet had a chance to clean the bike and was going to do it Tuesday morning when I was taking a little time off for some errands.. not so.. I guess.. But, on the bright side, the weather is unseasonably warm with forecasts of 9 degrees C @3amon Wednesday morning where I live and 11 degrees in London at 6am (ETA). 10 degrees by 18:00 in London, and say 10pm when I get back to Halse, it should be 9 degrees still. Rain is forecast. Wind will be c. 12 mph for the two days, but forgivingly will be a tailwind both days. I will try andd get a quick ride in tomorrow or Tuesday to check all is OK with the Bike. Oh, and it looks like the man child will get a Honda CG125 for Chrissie. 2005 model, cheap as chips, to practice for his license course and test.

I was going to say we had an English summer - on Wednesday, before cold and rain on Friday and Saturday, but today was mild, with scattered cloud and long sunny periods.

Troppo is no problem this far south. Cabin fever takes it's toll in winter though. And winter comes about 3 times a year.

I would love to hear his first speech, I can just hear it in my head. “ Now we have got rid of that bad mutha f#$ker, let’s get on with it” would be the best opening line ever. i have liked his movies since seeing Pulp Fiction for the first time, he had a guest spot on latest season of Tulsa king which I finished watching last night.

Don't go Troppo. Nev
