I heard an interesting rumour about Dutton’s nuclear plans.
Apparently, the construction contract will go to an international tender. Whichever country wins the contract, the construction site will be declared the sovereign territory of that country for the duration of the construction.
e.g. if a Japanese country wins, the site will be Japanese territory while construction is underway. Workers from the successful tenderer get to work there without visas or even paying Australian tax. Any Australian wanting to work on the site would need a Japanese work visa.

I don’t think that is possible.
Just not feasible even if there would be some legal way, imagine, you’d have to declare the access way to the site as well as foreign territory, some of the ports, nahhh forget it.
Whoever told you that lives in a dream or was totally smashed.
American bases are not US territory either.
1980s? Pfff, I have a Kelvinator as a garage fridge, must be from the early sixties.
Works perfectly, doesn’t have much of a freezer section I have to say, but keeps the beer cool.
Spread it brother, at least the former was of practical use.
If this is true, how come politicians succeed?
I am wondering, again, if our intrepid travelers never visit these places or just never mention them?
Here is a bamboo bridge over the Mekong river that is being dismantled and rebuilt every year according to the seasons.
I never heard of it, but it exists.
They dismantle it before the rainy season and store the components for the next time, yes, cars travel over it and it costs about 25 cents a trip.
The article doesn’t say if it’s the whole bridge being removed or only a part that is most in danger of being washed away.
Opps, here is the pic.
Two magies on the fence this arvo. I got to within a metre of them. They gave me a customary head nod.

LABOR’S BLOWING UP LINKS TO ISRAEL
ANGIRA BHARADWAJ
23 Nov 2024
Australia’s relationship with Israel is on the rocks as the Albanese government condoned the International Criminal Court’s pursuit of Benjamin Netanyahu over alleged war crimes in Gaza.
It comes after former Israeli minister Ayelet Shaked was barred from entering Australia on character grounds – a move the Israeli Foreign Ministry said would damage the relationship between the two ally nations.
Despite the US and Israel condemning the ICC’s arrest warrants against Mr Netanyahu and his former defence minister Yoav Gallant – with Mr Netanyahu dubbing it “anti-Semitism” – Foreign Minister Penny Wong said she “respected” the court’s independence.
Likewise, Hamas and its sponsor Iran were delighted. Hamas celebrated the decision, while ignoring that warrants were also issued for its war crimes, such as using civilians as human shields.
Her colleague and senior minister Ed Husic said the court was simply “doing its job” and he would “let the law run its course”.
The warrants were issued alongside one for Hamas chief Ibrahim Al-Masri, also known as Mohammed Deif – even though he is believed dead – a move the US President blasted as equivalence between a terror group and Jewish nation.
The Australia/Israel Jewish Affairs Council executive director Colin Rubenstein described the ICC’s case against Mr Netanyahu as a “ideological witch hunt”.
“All Western governments should be looking closely at why the ICC has chosen to break the rules when it comes to Israel. Joe Biden and our Opposition took the correct approach,” he said.
“It’s a great pity our government didn’t adopt a similarly principled stance.”
Executive Council of Australian Jewry co-chief executive Alex Ryvchin said by accepting the ICC’s decision, the government was telling Australians “they could be next. It is an attack on a democracy fighting a lawful and just war”.
The push against Labor’s position comes as Australia’s relationship with Israel took a “negative” turn with the Israeli foreign ministry spokesman Oren Marmorstein saying the decision to deny a visa to the former minister Ayelet Shaked was “unacceptable”.
“The decision is deeply offensive and troubling, and will have a negative impact on Israel-Australia relations,” he wrote on X.
The moves mark a growing distinction between Labor and the Coalition’s positions on the Middle East – meaning Australian voters heading to the polls next year will have two very different choices if they have strong opinions on Gaza.
Coalition deputy leader Sussan Ley denounced the ICC’s decision as the “targeting of a democratically elected leader who is trying to protect his country from terrorists”.
