  • Albanese considers Trump’s invitation to join Gaza ‘board of peace’ despite concerns body may undermine UN | Anthony Albanese | The Guardian

    A couple of nit-picks:

    Albanese didn't answer the question; he hand-waved it away, as you would expect a Prime Minister to do. It's not his decision to make.

    Nobody gives a tinker's cuss what the Coalition thinks.

    It's written NATO, not Nato.

    OK, so that's three, not a couple.

    It's important to note that they are not talking about humans as we understand the term generally, Homo sapiens, but genus Homo, which started back in the H.habilis days.

  • Three people died after Optus network failure impacted triple-0 calls

    The issue is the guarantee that Optus have with the government regarding the infrastructure they have installed; it involves their provision of access to 000.

    That must not be interrupted and mitigations must be in place to route around any disruption, extending to cross connecting to other infrastructure providers without delay. Only if all carriers are involved (eg. natural disaster taking out an areas cell towers) does the liability reduce. They're still required to re-establish connectivity as soon as possible though.

    In failing to meet that guarantee, they're liable for severe penalties.

    And no, as infrastructure providers involved with 000/112, they can't up stakes and leave just because they feel like it.

    Neither. Armed security, regularly at an apartment block, irregularly at various offices, manufacturing plants, a Mercedes-Benz establishment, and lots of uniformed but unarmed jobs around the place.

    It was an interesting job, but when one of my workmates was shot when he walked into a drug deal one night while doing his rounds (in the apartment block), my wife got twitchy so I gave it up.

    It was the done thing at the time, if you squinted sideways at the regulations (which my boss did when it suited him). It was always unloaded before I walked inside and the bullets kept separate from the pistol until I walked back out the next night.

    Our kids never even got a look at it. Dirty great S&W .357 magnum — nobody but me was going to get anywhere near it!

  • @Nath When I lived on a property out bush, we had a rifle and two shotguns (one newish, one legacy). They served us well. I learned to shoot the rifle at home, the shotgun at the old man's gun club. Loved the old side-by-side shotty.

    When I moved to the big smoke, I had zero interest in having any sort of firearm. In my security job, I had to carry a pistol and it occasionally went home with me between shifts; I hated having it there, even though it was secure.

    There's a place for firearms, and it's not in a city or town.

    Bugger! I would never have considered opening the device to check the internal connection before hooking it up. Ouch. You had a word with the supplier?

    Palmer just plays with politics — to the tune of over $250 million so far — as a hobby, a bit of fun. He has said his wife allows him the hobby! He'll get bored and try again; not to win, just to have fun.
