#Woomera reminded me of the orderly layout of #Canberra ... erm, except for Rocket Park! Also that Australia was the 3rd country behind the USA and USSR to build and launch our own #WRESAT satellite ... before the #LuckyCountry focused on digging holes! 🙄 #van #vanlife #roadtrip #sa #southaustralia
Housing Aust. Future Fund = ZERO Houses! NOT one dollar invested - see stats below. WHY is the Fund NOT building houses?
$10. Billion Fund.
122,494 Homeless. 400,000 Housing unit shortage. $666,666- average New Mortgage.
$976,800- average Home Price.
Investment in building new homes would also provide an ECONOMIC BOOST.

Government & Elections Australia.
Remember : We all have a choice. The Government works for us; supposedly in the "best interests of the people".
Blind belief in authority is the greatest enemy of TRUTH.

We Should Be So Lucky: Why the Australian Way Works

https://insidestory.org.au/the-improvisers/

(Yet) Another analysis of why Australia has not disappeared in a froth of beer fueled cynical lazy mismanagement ... or ... ?

Yes, it/they does/do reference the frayed Lucky Country "meme" made prominent by that Don Horne bloke.

<edited quote> ::

Adaptable is what we need to be.

Yep :)

Mostly makes good sense to this decaying lump of post sheep meat .
