A Lockheed C-130 Hercules fighting a fire in NSW has crashed, fingers crossed for the crew.

Yes, a very broad portfolio, including British Petroleum and Royal Dutch Shell.

I heard recently that "British Petroleum" (BP) was originally Iranian, the Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC). And that one of the outcomes of the coup that most think of as an American adventure to oust the Shah, landed Britain a controlling interest of the company.

The embers coming across a minute or two before the full force of the fire comes through were scary too, they would have set the bush alight well on the other side of the road.

January was the wettest month Melbourne has had in nearly a quarter of a century (1996) With 115ml rainfall.

Yep. Nearly as windy as Bass Strait

Comrade Dan is in his sixth year in the chair. He got $10b for jam by leasing Melbourne's port and is broke already.

Apparently hundreds of turbines are planned for 600 square km of Bass Strait and might supply as much as as 18% of Victoria's power. But you can bet there'll be issues when it comes to who is expected to pay.

Yet in mid-December the Bureau claimed there would be no significant rain for Victoria, NSW or Queensland until May...

When your first retort is always to start playing the party line, left vs right, it really gets tiring. Do you think you can have a serious debate without needing to play the Sky After Dark card all the time?

You could always look past it like I usually do. Yeah it's a cheap shot, but it doesn't detract from the point being made.

The projected cost is $3b (and who knows what that is in real terms). Who should pay?

Just stops me looking for the point being made when it starts with a partisan shot. Tend to view them as when all else fails, play the partisan card.
