LOLNO they aint gonna try a double dissolution. quote:The conditions stipulated by section 57 of the Constitution are: They have to wait three months first. Also two govts have been defeated completely and all bar one has had reduced majorities - the single exception is Menzies gained a majority in the Senate (reduced majority in the house) in 1951 CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 11:05 on Nov 29, 2019 |

Lol do you have any idea what the F111 was like at the time when we bought them? Lemme just say I'm pretty sure the F111 killed more F111 pilots than the Viet Cong ever did. But still lol that Trump's America won't take responsibility for it.

Maybe the F-35 will be the new F-104 Starfighter. Lockheed straight up bribed a bunch of countries into buying them and getting stuck with them and they were known as widow makers. quote:In all, 120 pilots and crew, including 108 German pilots and 8 USAF instructors, died in German F-104s during peacetime between 25 January 1962 and 11 December 1984. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lockheed_F-104_Starfighter#Safety_record

Except they didn't really use them themselves, right? I seem to remember that once they realised they were lovely and dangerous, they developed the F106 as their primary interceptor and dumped the 104s on unsuspecting NATO countries?

Can't help but notice that the media uniformly started referring to it as a "union busting bill" only after Pauline Hanson knocked it back. 'Controversial accountability and anti-corruption bill' was the term I was seeing everywhere up until then, with nary a "union-busting" in sight. I'm going to take a guess and say this change was led by Seven News, who would have switched terms to help their partner Pauline (never forget Sunrise literally has a contract with One Nation for Hanson and Latham's daily appearances). After they did it the rest of the media would have been emboldened to finally use the term. Honestly not sure if even labor were calling it a union busting bill, since that would depend on me hearing a labor politician say something on any particular issue. Whatever hole they are all hiding/buried in is too deep for the echoes to escape from and I don't consider it worthwhile to lower a mic down just to hear them prevaricate on whether they are tepidly opposed to marginal aspects of the LNP's agenda or entirely on board with it.

There's a subset of mammals that are weird and somewhat ancient: monotremes. They are mammals that lay eggs. There's only 2 known to science and they both live in Australia: the platypus and echidna species. Echidna's are mammals that lay eggs and don't have nipples. Both the echidna and platypus for some reason have electroception abilities. They're incredibly strange but also super cool.

Went for a walk in a national park the other day and saw my first ever echidna in the wild, just waddling along right next to the path. It was very cute. 10/10 experience, would recommend seeing an echidna.

I saw an echidna in the wild once, when it noticed me it tucked its head under its body and became a ball of spikes. It kept looking up every 10 seconds to check that I was still there before immediately hiding again, it was very cute.

It seems like a really nifty ability. Do any other mammals have it, or is just our weird monotreme buddies

My favourite place for spotting aussie wild life is guthega at Perisher. Always see a wombat, roo or echidna chilling in the snow. And I just love seeing animals in the snow. Gary the wombat is a regular sight on the runs there. One time I got to watch him charge down the hill straight into and knock over a kid. It was beautiful.
