Australia has 1% of the world’s population and 18% of the world’s pokies. Australia also has 76% of the world’s pokies that are outside of casinos. Seems a bit wrong to me.

@NoTillBill Certainly some haves and have nots in this rain event. As a previous northerner I assume you focus your experience from that zone. As a supplier of goods, I assume you would recognise the hurt that continues in others. And understand rain commentary perhaps is not useful.

[John Chapman @_johnchappy_]

@NoTillBill And it’s frustrating because many farmers have been seeding very long hours on this late notice forecast. For you to announce and forecast a rain the day before it may or not happen is perhaps erroneous to me. Perhaps in the next few days you can tell us if we made the right call

[John Chapman @_johnchappy_]

@NoTillBill Also feel that commentating on a rain 24hrs out and not being aware of the possibility is after the fact posting. In general many farmers have watched these possible events very closely. And have already seeded many hectares on this risk.

Thanks Colestan electrical for beefing up the house connection cables on a Sunday. Looks like we will be on generators for a while.
