Look involves a field of vision That's directional and distance related. If you are looking at something close the distant things will be out of focus.( Depth of field) If you focus for something at say 200 yards the difference between that and infinity is not much whereas from say 2 feet to 300 feet is a lot. An object approaching near directly at you at High speed is NOT hard to see because in it's frame of reference It's not moving fast at all and may appear almost stationary. Fog or dust can be a factor at longer distances or even with Heat Haze which distorts the atmosphere by refractive index changes with air density. If you can't be sure don't just say "She will be right" Wait till you can be sure. When you have 2 Jets approaching each other the speed involved is faster than a bullet, so you have very little time to react. IF you had a motorcycle on final at 108Knots in decent visibility you SHOULD be able to see it, if you are at the threshold waiting and looking as you should be doing if a vehicle may be likely to come down the road, on your right.

Even though there's been Big cost over runs in the Snowy Project, It would be foolish to not complete it. Nev

Operating out of the Middle East DID give operators an advantage Down here WE are at the end of the Line. There were Problems before Joyce. Joyce had to contend with COVID and that was a hard time for Airlines. Nev

How many jobs require you to be elected frequently. They don't lose their Pensions if they get another job and it's harder to qualify for those pensions than it used to be. I don't believe they are overpaid for what they have to put up with. Snowy Pumped hydro is a good concept. It's just the Geological factors proved to be more challenging than anticipated.Nev

It's only 108 Knots. Nev

No bias there?? They Place Windfarms in high wind areas. Why is Turnbull SLIMY? Nev

If the Landcruiser had not pulled out the accident would not have happened. Any rider with a fair bit of experience knows that many tin-top drivers make right turns in front of you and Hit you on roundabouts when you are on their right,and pull out from the side of the road without looking carefully. They ALL say "I didn't see you" as if that's a legitimate excuse. Yeah the rider was going too fast, but YOU are supposed to LOOK.

Qantas has been a very privileged and protected Airline many times during it's long History. Also some questionable management. Nev.

They don't all run around pretending to be the Spirit of Australia. Nev

A tunnel through the Blue Mountains is going to cost a Pretty Penny. Is everyone ready to pay for it somehow and it will take while too. What is done in the Meantime? Minns does seem a bit "all over the Place".Nev

You don't HAVE to go that way. Nev

The Managers don't care about that. More about the value of their shares. Announced just before Christmas. Nice timing QANTAS. Nev

That's shameful. People trying to do the right thing and its all a hoax. Nev

Vlad's the LAD with TRUMP. It's a wonder HE gets away with it. Trump admires fascists and dictators. Nev

I'm not just going on what he said there. Nev

Shoebridge is another reason I've given up on the Greens. Nev

Way down upon the Swanee River. Nev

You can see examples all over the World. China is in the best Position with a Large Population able to afford stuff. No one can Match them. Nev

Our population is too Low to support mass production Industries. We would rely massively on exporting it. We are also a long way from most Markets and transport costs are rising and are more risky. Nev

Murdoch Monopoly Press,TV and Radio, LIES constantly about all this to achieve his self interested Aim . I call that FRAUD.. In Queensland, his coverage is by far the Highest. being almost total. Most of the ABC staff are ex Murdoch Employees. Nev

Compare it to other countries and you will get a better Picture. How much is in Infrastructure and Defence? Population is Also growing. Money into Houses rather than Factories. Still retaining the AAA rating is significant as that affects the Interest rate Gov't have to Pay on Borrowings. Nev

Australia is actually doing alright but you won't see that expressed often here.. Nev

Probably Rembrandt Square.. Nev

A lot of that was done during the Depression The cost today would be incredible. Nev

Trump can VETO everything and probably will. What a silly system they have there. Republicans will ARC up too. There's too much Power to a President. SCARY. Nev
