King tide. But given wiki says the elevation of ballina is 1.7m it'll be regular tide soon enough.

Does anyone know what the feeling is on the ground in Longman and Braddon? Because I have a feeling Labor is going to lose both, freak out, do something stupid like roll Shorten and lose the next election.

I just want to say, that as a person with immediate family as current ADF members, the ASM isn't really all that prestigious as it's just denoting the fact that the member served in an overseas operation that wasn't "war".

Starshark posted:What is My Health Record? This is the first I've heard of it, sad to say. The basic idea is to have your health data in a separate database where you control access for different medical professionals. The intent is good: being able to keep track of medical history could be important to future treatment and keeps it all in one place in a format that isn't subject to radical change depending on the records system of any one institution. But it can also be bad: security concerns aside, many companies will have a vested interest in you having a record at all: insurance companies will almost certainly demand access or alter policies because you opted-out. It's not just about access either: once the data is there, it will be very difficult to remove or be updated or added to without hefty legal responsibility. That sounds like a good thing until you think about why doing none of those things might be better for a shady aged care home, who wants to keep certain information "safe" from regulatory eyes. Sure, in an emergency situation, "healthcare professionals" are granted access, but the comforting blurb on the website doesn't go into details about what happens if you've restricted access by code; is that just ignored for five days and how is that tracked? If you remove information, they can never access that; what happens if your power-of-attorney decides that for you? To say nothing of the secondary use of the data which you have to turn off, because the default is "on". Some at the IT end of health were very concerned about that default back in May, and so wer the Law Council of Australia: quote:The Law Council does not consider that the policy decision to adopt an opt out model for creation of My Health Record supports a further decision to adopt an opt out model for secondary uses of My Health Record (i.e. health, clinical and medical research). Rather, the Law Council recommends that the opposite should be the case: that is, that the default creation of a My Health Record for an individual should lead to policy caution in adopting a default consent for secondary uses of that individual’s My Health Record. Measures should be adopted in the framework to require ‘opt in’ for the use of personal data for secondary purposes to ensure that any use of personal data is by consent, as required by the legislation. In other words, "this is not stuff we want to litigate down the track". My advice: whatever you decide, get a professional like your GP to go through it with you, like I did: it was easier for mine to get in and set it up with me than getting permission from their stupid system to do it myself. The government is well aware that people are seriously skeptical, so expect some stupid advertising. quote:Meanwhile, the Federal Department of Human Services child support system suffered a four-day tech meltdown at Easter caused by its troubled transition from a post-end-of-life Cuba system to a Pluto platform. Oh great

the boomers are so unimaginative with their money, that's what drives me insane. it's either horses, boats or travel (and travel is either cruising or grey nomad caravan poo poo that i'm convinced none of them ever enjoy because all they do is complain about how many aboriginal people they saw on their way through the outback)*. for gently caress's sake, plant a forest and name it after yourself or something, it'll make you much happier to think about when you're on your deathbed and it's actually a net good for the world rather than actively contributing to several of our hosed-up situations *i'm not specifically talking to my family here, i have so much contact with rich waspy boomers because of where i've been living, it is an endless nightmare

"Are you afraid to go out to restaurants in Melbourne?" a reporter asked. "No, why? Should I be?" he asked. The reporter then explained the Prime Minister's comments. "Oh because of the gangs … the violence. Oh I'm sorry I wasn't following you, I didn't understand the question," he replied.

I don’t know a single person that’s overly concerned about ‘African Gangs’ or about going out in Melbourne. The Hun and Channel 7 are cancers that need to be excised from the glorious Socialist Republic of Victoria.

Where's the post from a couple threads back at the dude who gave up on leftism when I suggested that there should be an upper bound to the amount of money someone can earn. This is absolutely one of the first things I'd do if somehow a majority of loony Australians voted me into power.

ADANI has finally stitched up funding for its massive coalmine in central Queensland. Delayed by years of legal and environmental issues, the $6 billion project’s final financial hurdle is the $1.35 billion in funding needed for the rail line, and that appears to be close. The revelations came from Karan Adani, the son of the company’s owner Gautum Adani and chief executive of the ports business, who told Indian TV that it was now closing the financing of the rail project. “We have all the Government approvals for everything,’’ he said. “We have closed the financing of the mine, the port is already operational and now we are just closing the financing of the rail. “I think that project is about $US1 billion ($A1.35 billion).’’ It follows a major victory for the company when it recently refinanced the debt owing on its Abbot Point coal port with a South Korean company, but despite Mr Adani’s confidence not all environmental approvals have been resolved with the key groundwater issue still awaiting a decision from the Federal Government. The project was dealt a serious blow in November last year when the Palaszczuk Government said it would veto any taxpayer financing from NAIF for the rail project. That has meant a nine-month delay for Adani because it had to restart its financing deals. Australian banks had also refused to finance the project because of climate change concerns. Adani’s Australian business last night said work to secure finance for the Carmichael project was “progressing well’’. “Finance for the mine is contingent on securing finance for the rail component of the project as both are interdependent. “We are 100 per cent committed to delivering the Carmichael project for Queensland,’’ the company said. Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk said the Government was awaiting news from the company and the Government’s position on the project had not changed. “The mine has to stand on its own two feet. It has to stack up financially and environmentally,” she said. Federal Resources Minister Matt Canavan said the current strength of the coal market, which is delivering the highest prices for thermal coal since 2012, indicated the sense of opening up the Galilee Basin. “We would be mad not to do everything we can to take the opportunity. Someone will take advantage of the high prices and bring on new coal capacity. I want it to be Queensland, not South Africa or Russia or America.’’
