I didn't know where to post this: Former Prime Minister Scott Morrison has joined the board of one of Australia's most ambitious space industry companies. Space Centre Australia, which is building Australia's first permanent spaceport at Cape York in far north Queensland, has appointed Mr Morrison non-executive chair of the company. More here.

Correct Spacey.

Correct.

And you're a genius??

Two tone Trump....

'60 Minutes founding reporter George Negus has sadly died at 82, after a battle with Alzheimer's disease.

Videos posted on X, formerly Twitter, show a large number of people waiting in line after the rally. One, filmed from a bus departing the venue, has what appears to be a bus driver shouting to those waiting telling them that this is the last bus, with another passenger saying: "No more buses, they just got notice." --Newsweek, 10/14/2024

Correct OT. Total of digits in the year. 2+0+2+3 = 7.

Tradie’s alarming discovery at new build exposes costly problem for Aussie homeowners: ‘Wild West’ Building inspector Russell McCarthy said the issue doesn't scratch the surface on the industry-wide problem.

Well, I didn't have to wait. Due to an unexpected direct transfer from the ATO, I had enough to transfer to my credit card sufficient to put it into credit by a couple of dollars. When the transfer is processed tomorrow, I will be debt free.

All I've done so far is go to the council office with that photo and ask if a permit was required. I had previously checked the council website which said that trees over a certain size required a permit to be removed. As this one has been dead for nearly a year I just wanted to check. I was told to email the planning dept and request an arborist inspection to get the approval certificate issued. I asked the cost, and he said "Nothing - part of the service." I haven't looked into getting a quote for a tree removalist. The remnants of the tree are not that tall. My son has a pole chainsaw. The council guy said to check with the arborist whether we could do it ourselves. I'm in no great hurry to remove it - I want to get a few bucks under my belt before I do it.

Correct.

Got an hour or two?

Who remembers Aunty Jack and Thin Arthur?

Him: Why are you back from golf so soon? Her: I got stung by a bee. Him: Where? Her: Between the first and second holes. Him: Your stance is too wide.
