Three more terrorist-related arrests.

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-11-20/three-men-charged-with-planning-a-terrorist-act-in-melbourne/10513328

Three Turkish bro’s have been arrested suspected of alleged terrorist offences where they planned to inflict maximum casualities in a crowded Melbourne place with the use of semi-automatic rifles.

Melbourne has become a global hotbed on ineffective muslim terrorists.

The Australian government has now asked all social media companies to provide decryption on their encrypted messaging systems.

Meanwhile in Iran, Australians thrown in jail.

https://edition-m.cnn.com/2019/09/14/middleeast/iran-australian-academic-kylie-moore-gilbert-intl/index.html?r=https%3A%2F%2Fedition.cnn.com%2F

https://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2019-09-14/australian-academic-jailed-iran-named-kylie-moore-gilbert/11513580?pfmredir=sm

Normally would be bashing Iran to death on this one, but two of these people are from my home town.

First problem: Pompous do-gooders from Cottesloe whose are on a permanent Instagram "Look at how good my life is" world tour.

They actually should be thrown in jail for that.

Second problem: They were filming the Iranian countryside with a drone.

Lucky they didn't get their heads sliced off in Pakistan on the way there.

The other academic woman from Melbourne just got found guilty (of something) and received 10 years jail. She is 20/10 on a cuteness scale, not an attribute one wants to score highly on in the Iranian jail system.

Diving from the skies, Australia has two nasty types of attacking birds.

They divebomb their human targets like Stukas in WWII.

Magpies:

Plovers:
https://youtu.be/ZhH2tDj7QK0

Plovers are demonic and used to scare the living Bejesus out of me.

Anyway, it was eventually going to happen.
Someone got divebombed by a magpie and killed yesterday...

Yeah.....nah.

Some relief comedy about Australia. The thing about Australian comedy is that it has to be funny.

Magpies sometimes get along with cats and dogs.

The Kangaroo spree killer has been arrested:

Tasmanian Magpies are 99% less likely to attack you than mainland magpies:

My hometown waterslide park has banned G-Strings and cheeky bikinis for this summer.

I have applied for a job at the front gate to check women as they come through the turnstile.

I don’t know much about climatology, but judging from this image, I would say we are in for some hot weather over the next couple of days.

We are looking to break our record of 123 degF

I have never seen so many bushfires in NSW on the one day.

https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/

Those red ones have turned deadly apparently.

Mega-stressed people (and pets) escaping bushfires live in front of our eyes.

Unfortunately, the local wildlife including possums, koalas and wildlife have no chance of escape.



https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-04/nsw-vic-australia-fires-continue-burning-live-blog-january-4/11840348

One thing about the internet. It has not helped this fire situation much. Most people in the affected areas have no power or water or internet. Most people on Facebook are going ballistic about the Prime Minister, Scott Morrison.

So most of the information on the internet is redundant for the people who need it, and the rest on Facebook is less meaningful than the Atlas USGD.

Scott Morrison is not a fire fighter, but people are protesting locally about his involvement in minor situations he would have no knowledge of.

Perhaps taking a holiday to Hawaii in the middle of the fire season was a bad public relations move.

But the existing media infrastructure is totally inappropriate for this situation.

Morrison has nothing to do with the Fire Service. They are all state based.

Half of Kangaroo Island's Koala population has perished in the fire.

I said that.

Scott Morrison has been involved for 3 months. It's just the internet has gone into a meaningless frenzy.

All State Premiers run the State fire services, and all extra requests from the Federal Government have been met.

NSW Premier said it well this morning:

"I am not commenting on what is written on Facebook or Social Media. We are all (including the PM) focussed on the safety of Australians. It's life and death at the moment, and our focus is 100% on the best solution with advice from the experts that we can provide."

Way too much social media crap on Facebook down under for a normal person to tolerate.

We had a camel team come out in the desert recently adjacent to our work.

They are contract shooters in helicopters hired by the Government (Dept of Environment) who shoot about 400 camels per day each. 4 * Shooters is 1,600 camels per day for 8 days. The camels ruin the pristine environment through eating everything and are considered a pest in some parts of the country.

You don';t have to worry about camels because it is shark season at the moment:

Yeah....nuh.

Aboriginal populations have not been here 50,000 years.

They light fires as backburning and hunting.

But we simply would not backburn with that level or frequency.

They do know their land, but if they could have solved this, they would have.

There are so many racial sympathy pieces floating around like this....it's a feel good story.

A Current Affair did a story on some bully neighbours, Rob and his daughter.

Rob seems like a bit of a loose cannon.

Absolute dead-set miracle.

Luckiest 3 year old on the planet. I would barely survive 24 hours in that heat plus widespread flooding. She was with a dog. I would say the dog must have kept her safe overnight.
