Why couldn't they?

What you're obviously not wanting to understand or take in to account is that you've PAID for the safety net yourself, it doesn't just exist for free. And the payments have gone with negative investment rate because the safety net is not built to account for population growth or abuse. Literally the same as investing with negative rate.

If you invest like a moron, you will lose your investment like a moron. If you invest stupid but enough to cover inflation, you're already better off than losing forcefully deducted negative capita. If you invest smart enough to gain profit on top of inflation, you're good enough to retire earlier than planned.

Just now?

When I went to visit Uluṟu in 2001, it wasn’t long after a wet event.

The roads were delightfully edged by desert flowers, it was so pretty!

Same thing happened in Portugal. The country with the most eucalyptus per sqm in the world.

2023 is the year of the spotted handfish, just you wait

Good to hear hopefully no one else has to suffer from this plague ever again

Bats most likely. People gotta stop eating bats and probably other bushmeat as well.

Willy Wonka pt2?

I'd love to see Trephina Gorge full of water like this.

Now the crocs can go anywhere

Nobody else amused by the name "Todd River"?

Not sure why, just sounds like some colonist was having a go at a friend.

"Hey, Todd, finally found a place as wet as your bed sheets, you nerd. Naming it Todd River after ya".

As someone who lives in Western Australia, I'm glad at least Alice did alright with the extra rain. The Fitzroy river flooding is pretty devastating from the same ex-tropical cyclone. Its 50km wide in areas apparently and some towns will be completely inaccessible by road for many months.

Oh Naur!

Fury Road was partly shot in Aus too. They used props from and locations around the museum in Broken Hill.

It'll be fine. My friends run the Mad Max 2 museum where it was filmed just outside Broken Hill and their habitat remains pretty consistent.

Amazing. Sadly a coworker of mine is going to die within the next few months from brain cancer and surely this won't come in time, but let's hope for the future.

Some people wear seatbelts their whole life and still die in a car accident.

I know that worry. We’ve just moved about 30 mins out of the closest rural town and our property where we are at has a seperate tank to pump into from the river next to us to help fight fires with a seperate petrol pump so it’s isolated from our homes power system. Still makes us uneasy.

Yeah, they're a trap, eucalypts. Excellent firewood, mind you.

And Aus and Canada and Cali (and NZ) sharing firefighters every year is a heartwarming thing.

I just saw an article about the NT being the new frontier for cotton farming. Lots of land being illegally cleared already. Smh

Safe to say... They found de wae?
