Can't be much worse.... surely?

At least you might be able to believe the odd thing that comes out of Albo's gob, whereas Morrison has an integrity rating somewhere below zero

not to say that Labor (Labour?) can't be just as corrupt, in fact politics are so theatrical that it's practically a given

just the morale of having that shifty goon from marketing "in charge" must gnaw away at many hardworking Aussie folk, not like they have been easy years for anyone but having your country sold-out is hard to watch
Meh. Someone forgot to tell the minister for travel rorts and ministerial integrity that....

Are they like UK labour,tax and spend….?

Just what you’d need in a crisis.:nailbiting:

Also what is the new governments outlook with this Canusuk military nuclear submarine thingy?
ALL left wing parties are spend....Nothing left to sell off now to get us out of their mismanagement this time.... Certainly won't be able to use coal exports as how hypocritical would that be when your pushing for tougher emission cuts.

Yes we will now get higher electricity prices, probably blackouts as they try to shut coal fired power stations and replace them with solar and wind.
Wage increase which will cause more inflation, leading to higher interest rates and more unemployment.
They will ban live export of sheep and then the ar crowd will work on banning cattle export as well.
More irrigation cut backs.
Talking to an Aussie I know, he says live export was always time limited anyway. Urban populations don't like the thought of animals on boats.

Maybe time to restart the meat works in Darwin and Broome. Assuming NT can finish stock. Not something I know a lot about. Would brahmins need feedlotting?

Bit more rain the last few days, so no more harvesting or planting
Cold weather coming in, so time for a few fires & camp oven meals

So, some may be aware that I have 2 seperate lives. We have harvested high moisture ( 14% ) grain sorghum, so I have been blowing high volume air through the grain to keep it cool, prevent mould & also to dry it with “natural air” aeration. Trouble is, I don’t have 3 phase power, so have a 24kva genset running the fans, which doesn’t quite make 24 hours on a tank of fuel. So, I am going out ( 20 km each way ) twice a day to fuel it up, before & after my day job in town. So, this is out on the plain this morning before heading back into town
