Yep. Unions to the Labor governments. Huge sums involved.

Paint is weight, and thick paint chips easier. Acrylic Lacquer is easy to apply, touch up and repair. Nev

Well, I'll Be Fracked. According to Gina, Iron Ore is ONLY dirt before WE dig it up , too. The (L) means Liquified. ie Under Pressure. Oil and coal come out of the ground too. and you can get Cas from Coal ( Leaving charcoal.) You can Make diesel from Brown Coal too, but it's a very Polluting Process. Nev -
"Easy to find?" and Probably accounted for as rules apply to all this . The Big movers are not easy to find. Non disclosed kick backs on BIG projects. Nev

Perth would have only reached two-thirds of its current population level is we had to rely on groundwater and rainfall for water. We ran short of adequate amounts of drinking water around 15 years ago. As a result, two desalination plants have been installed, utilising our plentiful natural gas supply and a cleverly designed membrane, and those two desalination plants now supply around 35% to 40% of the drinking water for Perth. There are many country towns in W.A. facing a similar problem, and during drought periods, water has had to be trucked into some towns in W.A. that ran out of drinking water supplies. We live on the edge on this planet, at the best of times. Natural disasters such as extended droughts, massive storms, and earthquakes, have often decimated population centres.

How much gifting from corporations do the other parties get. easy to find. Pretty hypocritical for people to carry on about this. Albo just uses the governments money to get around(fair enough). Sarah Hansen Youngs husband uses the governments money to get to work. What was the largest single donation to Labor? The largest single donation was A$1,500,000.00 from Pratt Holdings Pty Ltd on May 22, 2022.

As ironic as it seems in a country with the land area of Australia, but unlimited immigration can lead to over-population. I don't mean that it could lead to the population densities seen in countries like India and China. I mean that in localised areas such as our metropolitan areas. I mean that it could lead to the inability of an area to support that population. The first thing I think of is water supply. I see the growth of residential areas in the Sydney Metropolitan Area, and I see the possibilities for water supply for those areas. The major storage facility is Warragamba Dam. Our climate is one of somewhat irregular rainfall. I have seen this dam overflow, and I have also seen its water level drop a great deal. Already the height of the dam wall has been raised above its original design height. There are no other sites for dams because any dam would hold back water flow into Warragamba. The water supply problem exists all along the east coast and the inland. The 48 States of the USA, which cover the same area as Australia, can support their populations because the land has abundant water throughout. Similarly for Europe. This continent has been inhabited for 50,000+ years. Why wouldn't it have produced a similar population size to other places? Simply beause the lack of water meant that the inhabitants did not have any time after attending to mere survival to develop the civilisations the developed elsewhere. It immigration continues unabated, Australia will not be able to provide the essential need for survival - water. If that happens, we have over-population.

natural gas comes out the ground as is, LPG is seperated at a refinery. -
I thought they were dwarfs until I expanded the photo and saw they were kneeling. Should've gone to specsavers.

I haven't put much on the other thread but I have been getting up there most weekends. General stuff around the engine - put in some extra brackets for the radiator, fixed a small oil leak (hopefully), put some doublers on the oil cooler top mounts, loctited and torqued the holding bolts. Also adjusted the noseleg suspension last weekend. I've ordered some silicone sheet which should be here soon, so next job is to make boots for the noseleg steering rods and the throttle rods which pierce the firewall. Also looking at brake line and pitot/static system. Think I've missed the painting season for this year as the weather cools down, but having said that this weekend was beautiful.

He's a stubborn sort of character. Even if he only had a couple of olive drab go-karts and a slug gun left, he'd still keep trying to take something that's not his.

They should be called WEE's Wind Energy Extractors, NOT Windfarms. . They don't need water or grow winds. NATURAL GAS is a Misnomer too. Why is it NOT Natural COAL or Natural OIL? That would be CRUDE would it not? Nev -
kgwilson started following What's Putin done now?
-
Well they have reportedly lost a million men & a lot of them were in military equipment. The cost in human resource doesn't concern Putin, it is the economic cost and opposition is ramping up possibly due to relatives of a million men talking to others, access to foreign media through underground processes, high inflation getting worse & disgruntled lackeys. He hasn't been seen publicly for ages so he must be pretty concerned.

Then you would need a crystal Ball. Nev

All UAE has to do is wait for the right time to activate the self destruct system they left in the aircraft.

Most towbars have a removable ball assembly these days so the actual main assembly is recessed behind the bumper. I only put mine on when I am using the trailer. I think most people do this now otherwise they risk getting it stolen.
