There's a car dealership yard a couple of k's up the road which has changed hands a few times over the past few years. First it was a Ford dealership, till they moved to a larger premises in Ringwood, then a Holden dealership till Holden ceased production. Recently it was a dealership for Mahindra SUV's and FWD, but at the moment it is empty. We are wondering if an EV dealership might take it over.

Attorney-General Michelle Rowland has been told to repay some of the expenses she claimed for a week-long family trip to Perth, after the independent watchdog found the spending was outside the official guidelines. Ms Rowland referred the expenses to the Independent Parliamentary Expenses Authority (IPEA) last week, after the Australian Financial Review reported she had billed taxpayers more than $21,000 for the trip in 2023, including $16,050 in flights for her family.

Amish men wear a beard for all sorts of reasons - some rooted in religion, others in tradition - but they all shave their mustaches. The reason for that may surprise you: the Amish are pacifists, and when their movement was just starting out, mustaches were heavily linked with a "military" look, favored by officers and soldiers. To distinguish themselves from these military men, the Amish decided to shave their mustaches off - and while today, military men prefer a clean-shaven look, the tradition has stuck!

I believe travel by family members should be paid for by the member personally. I don't think many employers pay family members travel. It's been years since I travelled anywhere, and things may have changed. Public funds should only be used for official business travel. I shouldn't have to struggle to put food on the table while paying to send someone else's son off to go skiing or play football.

A: Barron Trump's fortune is mainly from their rorting of cryptocurrency. B: T.R.U.M.P is crying about how much they are losing through falling tourism.

Harking back to the speed humps, in the section of road near my place, marked in red, which is 886 metres long, there are three speed humps, a roundabout and a chicane.

It has probably all changed since I applied and got my pension - 15 years ago. July 2010.

For those not familiar with airport-data.com, here is an example of part of the manufacturers list (for the letter J), with the number of aircraft listed in brackets: This is part of the listing of Mini-Max aircraft. The full list contains 19 aircraft. Note the multiple models, and only one with the camera icon indicating a photo. There were only 2 with photos on the full list. I personally have over 1200 photos I have taken on the airport-data website.

A couple of random thoughts. For those who visit AircraftPilots, you will have noticed that I've added more aircraft profiles. They now total 1930, so I only have 70 to go to reach 2000. I have a few more lined up but it is getting harder. I go through airport-data.com where they have a listing of aircraft by manufacturer. You select a manufacturer and it displays all registered aircraft loaded onto the site for that manufacturer. Not all have photos attached. Often, when you select an aircraft, it turns out to be a licence built version of an aircraft which is already on this site. Also, many are owner built with no photos and only the flimsiest basic data, and only2 or 3 built. So it is getting harder to find new aircraft to add. The other random thought relates to comments by @Jerry_Atrick about the camera on the Samsung A17 phone I bought. These photo and video don't look too bad. 20251208_112529.mp4

They interviewed Albo on Sunrise this morning and he said she and her support staff were originally meant to travel with him when he went to meet Trump, along with the press etc who went with them. But due to the introduction on the social media ban for under 16's, it was decided that she should stay here to deal with that which is why her booking was late. He said these matters are handled by an independent committee and he wouldn't be drawn on whether the rules needed reviewing.
