well they would just all leave whenever they got a raw deal and go camping in the mountains until the rich bought them off so they'd come back. happened 5 times. stopped once they got a lot of colonies and became slavery state prime and the plebs became irrelevant if properly fed and distracted

quote:

More than half of Australia's local government areas hit by natural disasters this year: emergency chief

The minister for emergency management, Murray Watt, has given an update to Senate estimates on the response to disasters in several states.

He says that in the time since he was appointed as minister, Australia has experienced devastating loss of life and the impacts of storms and floods. He acknowledges people in Victoria and NSW currently sitting in relief centres or cleaning up homes as rivers continue to rise.

In the past month alone, we have had 106 activations of commonwealth state disaster recovery funding arrangements – 43 in New South Wales, 17 in Tasmania, and 46 in Victoria, and that gives you some idea of the scale of the current disaster and of course, there’s been many more before that for the previous floods this year.
Watt says there are about 350 ADF personnel currently working Victoria and 150 in NSW.

The government will always step up and do the right thing standing with communities through the crisis and through recovery.
Australia’s first coordinator general for national emergency management, Brendan Moon, is also at the Senate estimates table. Moon gives a sobering update:

Since the start of this year, the nation has experienced 41 natural disaster events that have impacted over 280 local government areas. This constitutes more than half the local government areas of Australia. Our system is under pressure from consecutive concurrent natural disasters.
Moon says in recent years it seems like many communities “have been in a constant state of response and recovery”.

It’s interesting we went three weeks of October without a drop and depending on how much falls in the next six hours we can potentially still be about average for the month

Why? What's wrong with picking fresh raspberries on Oct. 31?

Actually, what's wrong is that they're a bit watery after the rain we just had. Also the raspberry canes (and a lot of other plants) are pushing out fresh green shoots. These are going to get hammered by the first hard frost that comes along. Next spring could be interesting.

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

Some reason this reminds me of this made for TV drama in the 1980s - Special Bulletin I think it was called. I forget the plot, but the gist was that there was a nuke on a barge in Charleston and they sent in the NEST team to diffuse it. Sort of this dire situation that required immediate, perfect coordinate effort in limited time to stave off a grave outcome. In the film they had a TV network running a live stream of the effort to diffuse the bomb and one of the team members fucks up under pressure and bolts leaving everyone immediately screwed and the nuke goes off.
