We need a strong opposition in Vic.
Labor spending all the money we don't have buying big smoke votes.
Election under 18mo away.
Current situation at LNP HQ: dire.
You are on the time of use tariff?
I'm yet to meet anyone who is glad they went on that.
Yeah I dunno. Was more wondering how they came to the $1.2m figure.

Seems accurate to RL.
10 day price crash broke the channel and took my fully exposed position with it! Lucky 2 day recovery end!
Fleabane?

Barriers to trade are very topical. Maybe now is the time!

~$40/year Davis Vantage Vue +Weatherlink Live
What starlink module are people running on their farm vehicles?
Mini or standard?
5GB backup data plan @$15 looks ideal.
Currently using ALDI prepaid (Telstra network) for remote weather stations but since 3G shutdown signal even with CelFi is so bad, need to consider other options for machinery.
Looked pretty cool. Caught it in late arvo the last couple days.

These spread over about 70km West of Mildura. It's coming!

I reckon no unnecessary jobs outside after 11am. 😅
4 days finishing harvest (tyre, draper offside bearing + draper spline, draper idle bearing 8 hours later) but some fun cooling off with the kids this arvo once all done!
Shocking weather forecast tomorrow, 46°C!
It can't be money because:
1. Apparently the cost of rent/housing in the city compared to country.
2. How much can they be getting paid if they have multiple empty booking slots for today?
Regularly 10 days+ for appointment in Mildura with my GP, he is heading for burnout (+retirement) though, seeing patients to 8pm regularly.

Some around 120mm in the middle.
Massive! 😍

Got about 600Ha wheat, 400Ha barley, 100Ha oats and some severely frosted peas to go.
The light at the end of the tunnel!
76mm so far since 3pm Saturday, non stop.
Sounds like it's lose lose at the moment.
Russia pivoting away from wheat may be good for cereal prices, bad for oilseed and pulses (if that's what they pivot to).
