Credlin still strolling around the pastures of victoristan under threat from blackout’s wind turbines. She interviews some LNP bint who’s the local member who cannot say ruinables are useless and that global boiling is bull shit. We have to have a mixture of energy sources is her mantra. Fuk me dead, they’re useless..

From the ADSB tracks it almost looks like the helo changed course a few seconds before the collision to make it happen. Don’t want to be paranoid.

More than one in four public servants at the Home Affairs Department go into the office just one or two days a week, with the ­Coalition accusing the Albanese government of giving public servants a “blank cheque not to be in the office”.
Figures compiled by The Australian show that as the country approaches five years since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic – which ushered in the working from home revolution – parts of the public service still suffer from low office attendance rates.
By the end of October 2024, 4475 of Home Affairs’ 16,359 employees – or 27.4 per cent – had ­arrangements to work from home three or more days a week, the department said in response to a question on notice from the last round of Senate estimates.
In Services Australia, 22 per cent – or 7248 of its 32,947 employees – had arrangements to work from home three or more days a week. That figure was 20.3 per cent in the Department of Employment and Workplace Relations.
