https://www.theguardian.com/austral...-high-tech-helpquote:Australian firefighting agencies would have the technology and capability to identify and extinguish every dangerous bushfire within an hour, anywhere on the continent, by the end of 2025, under an audacious plan to be launched in Canberra.

The only thing I can come up with that is 'capable' of extinguishing a bushfire anywhere in Australia within an hour is an ICBM with some sort of fire-extinguishing warhead.

I mean thank God we've got Twiggy to tell us maybe we should assess areas for bushfire risk and deploy resources appropriately, since last year every single engine, aircraft, hose and bucket in the country was stationed in the Sydney CBD

I thought one of the big takeaways from last season was that there is a huge portion of australia where a fire could start and no one would actually know for ages until it's massive. I'm not super optimistic they will ever get to that goal but I am pretty positive that with the right people (FUND CSIRO YOU STUPID FUCKS I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE THAT DREAM OF WORKING ON A LARGE SCALE SENSOR NETWORK LIKE THIS) working on it I think they could massively improve in this area

It's a clown poo poo show from arsehole to breakfast. KA was one of three people from the Northern Territory's Ntaria community, also known as Hermannsburg, killed when a car rolled on Larapinta Drive on 22 December 2012. Her husband KO also died; they were well-known childhood sweethearts. The coroner did not consider them to be deaths in custody because police only made a brief attempt to stop the car before falling back, and had lost sight of the car when it crashed. The driver pleaded guilty to three counts of dangerous driving causing death. A woman who survived the crash said they were pleading with the driver to slow down or stop. ISSUES RAISED Injured in custody.

As I've said before the offer of HECS discount would be a huge incentive if I was finishing Year 12 or finishing uni - in fact it would be a huge incentive to me now if I'd lost my job from COVID - but they really need to be prepared to put a figure on it. Kids aren't going to uproot themselves for a manual labour job for whatever paltry 10% off bullshit they end up offering.

I remember hearing about programs where school teachers get part of their tuition paid for (or discounted at the end or whatever) if they took jobs in remote communities... what’s more is that there’s a internal list for promotion, and relocation. Anyone who completed that program is also bumped up on that list. So go do your time in the bush, and out of it you’ll have less hecs debt, and you’ll have an easier time changing schools to an area you might like. I don’t know if that program still exists.... but it’s a brilliant idea. Edit: I fully expect that scomo will end up with a dumb idea like “force those HECS dodgers overseas to come back and pick fruit!”

Do people care about their HECS debts? Mine will disappear eventually without much inconvenience, and before I had a job over the threshold it was the least of my concerns. The only reason I'd consider paying early is if the libs start meddling with it. Though I haven't compared it to current uni fees, maybe I'm out of touch there.

Just pump terrifying amounts of money into the CSIRO and manufacturing with a view to automate 50% of farm output and make that one of many nation building projects to ride out roni with public spending and create a heap of jobs. Like if we had a halfway efficient manufacturing sector for that kind of difficult task it would be very good for us near and long term. It would be literally free in the end as well since credit costs next to nothing.

Ffs stop caving into the LNP viral marketing of 'scomo'. Scummo perhaps? Or that worthless fat gently caress that should have stayed in Hawaii and maybe thrown himself into a volcano. Shito? Ms Mandijarra lay dead on the floor of a crowded watch house cell for up to four hours before it was noticed she was dead. She had been arrested by police in Broome at 6pm on 29 November 2012 because she was drinking with a group of women on Male Oval. She was not closely checked from the time she entered the cell. Her death prompted the Western Australian coroner to recommend abolishing the practice of arresting or detaining someone for street drinking. She also recommended that intoxicated persons be given a mandatory health assessment when arrested. ISSUES RAISED Medical care required but not all given, procedures not all followed.
