    Just how stupid can the Northern Territory Government be?
    Not enough to lease the Port of Darwin to a foreign power, now a huge water extraction has been granted to a Chinese backed agribusiness which will grow fruit and veg to mostly sell in China.

    Access to water is much more political now.

    “However, some native title holders have strongly opposed the licence. The directors of the Mpwerempwer Aboriginal Corporation told The Guardian Australia they want the water to “stay in the country”.

    “They can’t take that water,” representatives said. “We need that water to stay there, for the animals and the trees … for bush tucker and bush medicine.”

    Melbourne readies to exit world's
    longest COVID-19 lockdown
    SYDNEY (Reuters) -Millions in Melbourne are readying to come out of the world's longest COVID-19 lockdown later on Thursday even as cases hover near record levels, with pubs, restaurants and cafes rushing to restock supplies before opening their doors. . .


    Beware The Surge!
    YOU heard it from @Moi621 :worship: first.

    Coming SOON to Melbourne. The Surge after the longest shutdown more easily accomplished on a population programmed as UnFree opposed to Free vs Not Free concepts.

    Yup! ;)

    We’re all dizzy with anticipation and we know there’ll be a jump in cases just as there was in Sydney.

    From submarines to helicopters

    I mean, as a lap dog, would you rather be Europe's or :flagus:



    Australian military switches from European to
    US helicopters

    CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Australia's military said Friday it plans to ditch its fleet of European-designed Taipan helicopters and instead buy U.S. Black Hawks and Seahawks because the American machines are more reliable. Europe's are too French

    The move comes less than three months after Australia canceled a deal to buy French submarines in favor of building nuclear-powered submarines that use U.S. and British technology in a switch that deeply angered France. Oh non et Mon Dieu - Angered French . .

    I’ve never heard this. I’ve heard of merchant bankers. (Rhyming slang)
    Different states have different idioms and slang that aren’t familiar.

    Australian reportedly killed when
    explosive vest detonates
    CANBERRA, Australia (AP) — Police said on Tuesday they were investigating the death of a man who was reportedly killed when an explosive vest he was wearing detonated while he was driving his car in a suburban street in the Australian city of Melbourne.

    The vest was understood to have been triggered by the car hitting a speed bump on Young Road in the suburb of Hallam on Saturday morning, Seven News reported.

    Security camera video showed the flash of the explosion rise about the car's roof and from the driver’s side window. A speed bump wasn't apparent in the video.

    The car continued to travel a few hundred meters before it hit a parked vehicle near the corner of Young Road and Homewood Boulevard.

    Emergency services were called to reports of a minor vehicle collision at the intersection at 11:40 a.m. local time, a police statement said.

    A 43-year-old man from the suburb of Dandenong was found dead inside his car, which also contained “explosive items,” police said. Police have not released his name. .

    Wow!
    The gov't takes away their guns
    but not explosive vests.
    Go figure

    I wonder how they regulate explosive vests.
    Age?
    Training & Permit?

    The only victim here was a bloke (with mental health issues too I suppose) with the ability to contain an explosion within his car.

    It’s odd but the first I heard of this was when Moi posted. The incident occurred on Saturday morning and here we are on Tuesday. I wonder if they still have D notices here.

    Seems they do still exist in the UK and Australia but are advisory only, little used and have a narrow remit.

    Now I want to know who Mr and Mrs Petrov are and where they are.

    It could be that the last 26-years of temperature recordings by the Australian Bureau of Meteorology will be found not fit for purpose and will eventually need to be discarded. This would make for a rather large hole in the calculation of global … [Read more...]

    Interesting. Jennifer mentioned Rutherglen. Brown Brothers have bought land in Tasmania to position itself for global warming.

    Australia Prime
    for Australians

    Australian scientists to power Tesla on 15,000-km trip with
    printed solar panels
    GOSFORTH, Australia (Reuters) - Scientists in Australia are testing printed solar panels they will use to power a Tesla on a 15,100-km (9,400-mile) journey beginning in September, which they hope will get the public thinking about steps to help avert climate change. . .


    Dear Australians!
    Abandon Globalism.

    You got the ability.
    And solar power desalination on sea water
    and create Great Australian Lakes in the middle.
    They just might sustain themselves as the Salton Sea
    in California did before requiring water level worries.
    And create local climates friendlier to bio diversity.

    Sure
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Darwin#Casualties_and_damage
    Just as "they" remember the killed civilians
    by the Japanese attack on Darwin Feb 19, 1941.
    At least "the French", and possibly Russians would
    have some sort of memorial. eh
