  1. I doubt you would give them any credit for where we are no matter what, but Plenty of those contracts were done Years ago. Don't Open cut Mines damage vast tracts of Countryside and Wreck water tables? Solar doesn't damage the Countryside. You can farm or graze under it. Wind pays farmers who allow it and it provides them with a stable income. Batteries when installed benefit everybody. Nev
  2. Where you read these things Matters. Is it the TRUTH OR Did you read it in the Murdoch Press?? Nev
  3. WE should be there and we are. Because Trump says climate change is FAKE doesn't make it true. HE LIES. There's Unusual and extreme weather everywhere which is going to cost US ALL a fortune to deal with.
  4. That's when the Little Irish Accountant ran the show. He also shut down the Airline and left people (and Pilots) stranded All over the world.. Boards who ran Qantas before that aren't Blameless either. Nev
  5. There's roads already between buildings and not enough wind enhancement to be of any use. It's a complete Furphy. "City Slickers"?? It's SO Passe and inappropriate to today's world. Nev
  6. Cheeses Crust. That's so deep and meaningful.. Nev
  7. I'm sure they get better advice than you seem to be offering before locating wind farms which need massive foundations.Nev
  8. 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. Nev
  9. Even though there's been Big cost over runs in the Snowy Project, It would be foolish to not complete it. Nev
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. It's only 108 Knots. Nev
  13. No bias there?? They Place Windfarms in high wind areas. Why is Turnbull SLIMY? Nev
  14. 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.
  15. Qantas has been a very privileged and protected Airline many times during it's long History. Also some questionable management. Nev.
  16. They don't all run around pretending to be the Spirit of Australia. Nev
  17. 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
  18. You don't HAVE to go that way. Nev
  19. The Managers don't care about that. More about the value of their shares. Announced just before Christmas. Nice timing QANTAS. Nev
  20. That's shameful. People trying to do the right thing and its all a hoax. Nev
  21. Vlad's the LAD with TRUMP. It's a wonder HE gets away with it. Trump admires fascists and dictators. Nev
  22. I'm not just going on what he said there. Nev
  23. Shoebridge is another reason I've given up on the Greens. Nev

    Brain Teaser

    Way down upon the Swanee River. Nev
  25. 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
