& herein lies an essential element I'm developing.
1. Green businesses really need the ability to provide an ROI for investors.
2. This requires a whole different type of thinking & reform to make it work other than green washing.
3. We have to compete with the 'dirty' market.

17 seconds into flight final cockpit coms to ATC “thrust not achieved, falling Mayday! Mayday! Mayday!”
I dont see a RAT but if it were auto deployed would certainly change things.
Wait for evidence.

100+ tonnes of fuel, full load, hot day, <5 degrees of flaps aside, would 2x press the go around button (max thrust / disengage computer) have made any difference? maybe they did?
Civi drivers I know speculate same as you.
Amazed 1 guy literally walked away. He changed seats before takeoff.

Funny....sadly. Will they agree with net zero or go the other way?
1. Reality is the centre is where the voters are & they 90%+ in on climate change.
2. Net zero 2050 is a bare bones, minimal standard that's way too late & therefore fails the test.

How lovely. Congratulations & well deserved. You just embody the pinnacle of the core values of the RAAF. So happy for you Maz...through hardship to the stars.

1. Accepting a 747-400/800 should be a big issue alone.
2. Bugging is a potential issue
3. But AF1 has alot more capabilities than this g(r)ift. Unknown defence abilities, air refuelling, extended dwell times & fuel tanks, comms. Altho less gold & chandeliers.

Yep & a beautiful liberation it was. Lake Macquarie will be looking even more sparkling today.

Lot of staff cuts & offshoring jobs. Grim for them, good for other radio media.

I think his missed one thing in all his businesses tho (that I'm working on).

Social media, medical, tax, voting, arrests, banking, social security, legal, employment. It wouldn't be hard to know what people might do next & how to effectively steer them.
Then add biometrics.
Valued in $trillions, unbelievable power. Dwarfs Tesla.

More sophisticated may be Musk's DOGE USG raids. He used data guys not forensic $$ guys. I think he has pulled off a massive data heist for his AI business. Imagine the power of knowing everything about every American, everything about everything. Predictive tech.

A couple of nasty hard rights of the church. No love & compassion with these.
Now just Muller alive. He threatens splitting the church should it not relent of Francis' legacy of gays, comfort to the poor & downtrodden. He's big on pomp, gold & jewellery (hate to think of what else).

At one judge already arrested & more threatened, the last guardrails of democracy are starting to fail.
April 29, 2025 at 6:05 AM
Totally agree. Effective democracy & I love the 1 week+ of early voting. Makes it so easy.
April 29, 2025 at 6:02 AM
Totally agree! LNP have run a very poor campaign so far, almost a cut & paste of Trump without the makeup & showmanship.
Teals are going great. Truely a representation of the electorate unlike the ....Trumpet of Patriots (cringe)

1. I get Officers should be silent re published opinions about govt policy.
2. Its a shared base. A little esprit de corps is great for moral. Esp' there.
3. Maybe warranted a 'dont do it again' call?
4. Response is so damn childish & petty.
5. (Dont put it in writing)

An interesting economic indicator.
April 10, 2025 at 2:05 AM
Yep def' insider trading. Classic pump, dump, rinse, repeat.
The ultra big guys are making billions including that idiot Lutnick.
Criminal but who's gonna charge the perps?
April 10, 2025 at 1:57 AM
Even if this were the case some real things cant be ameliorated esp' in the short term.
Also intangible things like stability, trust, honour & ethics.
Toothpaste cant be put back into the tube.
April 7, 2025 at 4:06 AM
Our biggest, most urgent remediable problem globally. Ever!
Decarbonise, depollute both the atmosphere, biospheres incl' marine.
Measure everything in sustainability terms, sovereign water, food chain & human security. We will be far richer for it.
April 4, 2025 at 6:22 AM
This is a more serious policy indicator than the stockmarket. The damage both escalates & cumulates.
April 4, 2025 at 4:11 AM
Le Pen & Bolsonaro receive justice. Trump?
I really miss Malcolm Turnbull. Ethical, intelligent, balanced & ticked all the sustainability boxes.
March 31, 2025 at 11:05 AM
So hosting a COP is "madness"? Definitely Discount Trump. Out of touch, disgraceful.
