Funny....sadly. Will they agree with net zero or go the other way?
1. Reality is the centre is where the voters are & they 90%+ in on climate change.
2. Net zero 2050 is a bare bones, minimal standard that's way too late & therefore fails the test.

How lovely. Congratulations & well deserved. You just embody the pinnacle of the core values of the RAAF. So happy for you Maz...through hardship to the stars.

1. Accepting a 747-400/800 should be a big issue alone.
2. Bugging is a potential issue
3. But AF1 has alot more capabilities than this g(r)ift. Unknown defence abilities, air refuelling, extended dwell times & fuel tanks, comms. Altho less gold & chandeliers.

Lot of staff cuts & offshoring jobs. Grim for them, good for other radio media.

Social media, medical, tax, voting, arrests, banking, social security, legal, employment. It wouldn't be hard to know what people might do next & how to effectively steer them.
Then add biometrics.
Valued in $trillions, unbelievable power. Dwarfs Tesla.

More sophisticated may be Musk's DOGE USG raids. He used data guys not forensic $$ guys. I think he has pulled off a massive data heist for his AI business. Imagine the power of knowing everything about every American, everything about everything. Predictive tech.

A couple of nasty hard rights of the church. No love & compassion with these.
Now just Muller alive. He threatens splitting the church should it not relent of Francis' legacy of gays, comfort to the poor & downtrodden. He's big on pomp, gold & jewellery (hate to think of what else).

At one judge already arrested & more threatened, the last guardrails of democracy are starting to fail.

Totally agree. Effective democracy & I love the 1 week+ of early voting. Makes it so easy.

Totally agree! LNP have run a very poor campaign so far, almost a cut & paste of Trump without the makeup & showmanship.
Teals are going great. Truely a representation of the electorate unlike the ....Trumpet of Patriots (cringe)

1. I get Officers should be silent re published opinions about govt policy.
2. Its a shared base. A little esprit de corps is great for moral. Esp' there.
3. Maybe warranted a 'dont do it again' call?
4. Response is so damn childish & petty.
5. (Dont put it in writing)

Yep def' insider trading. Classic pump, dump, rinse, repeat.

Even if this were the case some real things cant be ameliorated esp' in the short term.
Also intangible things like stability, trust, honour & ethics.
Toothpaste cant be put back into the tube.

Our biggest, most urgent remediable problem globally. Ever!
Decarbonise, depollute both the atmosphere, biospheres incl' marine.
Measure everything in sustainability terms, sovereign water, food chain & human security. We will be far richer for it.

This is a more serious policy indicator than the stockmarket. The damage both escalates & cumulates.

Le Pen & Bolsonaro receive justice. Trump?
I really miss Malcolm Turnbull. Ethical, intelligent, balanced & ticked all the sustainability boxes.

So hosting a COP is "madness"? Definitely Discount Trump. Out of touch, disgraceful.

3. Where is the justice of turning off defensive HIMARS targeting data while RU continues to bomb civilian UA targets?

2. Politico -"The senior Trump allies held talks with Ukrainian opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, and senior members of the party of Petro Poroshenko, Zelenskyy’s immediate predecessor as president, according to three Ukrainian parliamentarians and a U.S. Republican foreign policy expert."

1. Sadly it is being reported that the Trump Admin is negotiating directly with Ukraine opposition leaders & figures.
With so many fighting or fled how may this demonstrate the will of the Ukrainian people. (hint, its not supposed to)

My neighbour still has the 1st Tesla S sold in Oz but its too big for her now. I thought about the new Y but hate Musk too much. Ordered an MG (loop hybrid <0.9L /100kms city cycle)
Love the Cupra's.

I thought people were pretty normal. Then I read the Twitter/X posts on Sam Kerr last week+.
Wow😱 Insane levels of batshit hatred, foaming @ the mouth misogyny.
Sam Kerr .."put yourself in a females shoes" Damn straight.
& guys wonder why they cant get laid. Dont tell 'em!

I shudder to think of the next 4 years, it will be exhausting. Happily I live in Oz but the Trump shock waves will probably reverberate around the planet for a generation.

Maybe unofficially a nod to 'Bondi' the great ocean beach (my fav) & marine biosphere? Perhaps a lifesavers red & yellow hat or patch?

Mine, the worlds longest startup. A pillar to decarbonise, depollute & deplastic (micro & nano). Hopefully at a profit.
Feb liftoff, stay tuned.

Tsunami of State & private battery development & new models coming onto the market.
This week I sat in models from MG, Zeeker, Deepal, BYD giving massive bang for buck that Tesla does not.
Plus theres the Elon Musk issue.

Right back at you Brent & everyone. Magic day in Sydney, lazy lunch at the Cruising Yacht Club, checking out the fleet for the Sydney-Hobart blue water sailing race.

Yes! Then exacerbate those decrease crop yields then stuff gets real.
Add disruptions in food chains >sovereign food/ water scarcity = hunger >uncontrolled migration> War
Climate change problems become exponential while food/ water decreases arithmetically. Malthusian.

"We are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change & the last generation that can do something about it"

This will leave a mark. Total contract 10y $200m.
$10m each p/a = ~$50k PER WORK DAY!
3 contracts = salary + % increase of revenue + sign-on in ARN shares.
Shrinking market, mkt cap, revenue & staff!!! ARN panic.

I also read somewhere that " we are the first generation to feel the effects of climate change but the last generation that can do something about it"

Not encouraging, but probably true after the unexplained (says NASA) heat extremes of '23 & '24. We better do something & now. I am.
Decarbonise, deplasticise, depollute, de-car. Electrify everything, sustainably.

In some ways injuries can be worse in many measures & in terms of costs, numbers & resources required they are. I studied this.
Much of this is solvable or at least can be greatly reduced but politically not palatable.
