As an 80yo visual impaired book worm I think audio-books are fantastic. What spoils a good book is a miss cast narrator. Worst are ones with multiple actors that verge on the old radio play genre.
“The decisions made by Anthony Albanese in the next month will likely define Labor’s legacy for decades to come,” writes Dr Richard Denniss, co-CEO of The Australia Institute.

Freedom of the seas applies to International waters. The Gulf of Hormuz are territorial waters of Oman and Iran. The Gulf of Saint Lawrence are territorial waters of the USA and Canada. The Strait of Malacca are territorial waters of Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Facts before emotion
"If the Labor Party and the Liberal Party keep standing up for the gas industry instead of standing up for Australians, neither of them should be surprised to see their votes continue to fall."

It is unbelievable how badly trashed the Bureau of Meteorology website is now. You'd be forgiven for thinking it's a conspiracy to advantage private apps to use free govt info from BOM to package forecasts, radar, warnings so it's well-designed & accessible - for profit - like they do in the US.
The BOM have destroyed their website - no current observations by weather station available anymore for example. Royal Commission now. I want people sacked.
Except the cane growing areas. ie The Burdekin.
Sad that such requirements have to be repeated. Superb President Alexander Stubb: "No single country should have a veto in #UN. A Security Council member should also lose its voting rights for a fixed period if it violates the UN Charter." presidentti.fi/en/statement...

It looks like Nepal is getting someone in the kitchen who knows how to cook up democracy. America you might want to look into this approach. Oh yeah that's right you hate women in positions of power trying to fix things and bring equality to everyone. That's a shame that we can't have nice things
Much needed I would think! #nepal
What mod (for SSE?) is that replacement creation from ?
Excellent to see some common sense. Best wishes from a septuagenarian Australian.

The pact 'to help counter China ambitions in the Asia Pacific'.
Meanwhile China doesn't need to go to war it just needs to turn the trade tap off and the Australian economy will tank like it's never tanked before.

Aluminium is known jokingly in engineering circles as solidified electricity.
The majority of the world's solar panels in use today were invented/ refined technically in Australia. The inventors were denied assistance by the Gov of the day (Howard), for manufacturing, marketing and ongoing research so they packed up and went to China.
The rest is history.
Stay competitive with China ?
Ha ha ha ha ha fuckin HAHA.
We're years too late.
Howard sold the farm yrs ago.
For the benefit of your international followers, what does 86 mean?
Perhaps Albo will feel secure enough to start growing a spine now.
Amazing.
To buy the ingredients alone would cost near $100 in Australia. Each steak would cost around $10 in the supermarket.
This is real love...
It's still paywalled.
Such a shame.
Quote from latest GameRant article announcing Remake coming release.
"it's always possible this information is inaccurate, and so fans should take any claims about the Oblivion remake with a grain of salt until Xbox itself confirms that it's in development."
in development is not release.
I've been on the Tamriel Rebuilt (Morrowind) team as a cell designer, scripter and beta tester for over 15yrs.
Of the many mod creators working on the project, also with experience in modding Oblivion/Skyrim, most are convinced that Oblivion "Remake" is nothing but click bait.
China is neither belligerent nor unreliable.
