Just saw a fake video of me on social media talking about pension changes! Just remember I don’t solicit funds or spruik trading schemes.

Was life really better in the “good old days”? This note compares economic indicators today to 25 and 50 years ago.

Pretty rare earthquake activity tonight on Earth.

Both of these things happening within 2 hours of each other:

1 in 1,000 to 1,200 years

• A “doublet” earthquake in Venezuela (two quakes of similar magnitude in the exact same spot)
• A totally separate 6.9+ quake somewhere else (Japan)

Qantas just showed their wild polar route for the new non-stop SYD-LHR A350 flights... heading north over the Pacific, up near the North Pole, then into London from the north for part of the year.
Smart way to dodge the jet stream and optimize fuel. 19.5-21 hrs one way.
This one’s gonna be next level.
You taking a 20hr direct or prefer a stop?

@CallissClan It’s great to see #BerenBanana getting more confident. So good to see the creek with that much water.

After the murder of 50 escapees from the Great Escape, MI9 issued the controversial ‘Stay Put Order’ telling Allied airmen and soldiers to stop escaping and remain hidden after D-Day.

But one man fiercely disagreed and the row reached top command:

Anne Twomey re Whitten and S44 suggests it is not clearcut he's disqualified, arguments could be made that Snowy Hydro as a government company is not covered under term "the Public Service of the Commonwealth".

Soldier recognised for lifesaving act

Seeing an attack on a dark highway was not what Corporal Joshua Smith expected to find while driving late one night.

He was driving to visit a friend in hospital at 11.30pm, when he noticed a car stopped on the North-South Motorway near Wingfield, South Australia, on August 15, 2022.

“I actually thought it was a flat tyre or a hit-and-run,” Corporal Smith said.
Initially, he stopped beside the woman and asked if she needed help, but after getting little response, he started driving away.

“I was like, ‘I don't really have time for this’, and I started driving, and then something just told me that I needed to stop,” he said.

So, he pulled over about 30 metres ahead and walked back towards the vehicle.

@CallissClan Sending love and paws. That’s sad news. The big girl that gave everyone a smile. Thank you for sharing #Alba with us.

Dear everyone - I understand the fraudsters are ramping up the use of my name & image in various share trading schemes & other nefarious things.
I must emphasise that they are nothing to do with me.
I keep reporting them to the authorities who seemingly have little power to close them.
I will never undertake such a scheme, so please stay away from these crooks.

The Sydney Cricket Ground, circa 1936.

In 1851, part of the Sydney Common south of Victoria Barracks was granted to the British Army (11th North Devonshire Regiment) for a garden and cricket ground. It was often called the Military and Civil Ground or Garrison Ground, with the first recorded match played in February 1854.

When British troops departed in 1875, the NSW Cricket Association took control.
