Our ABC reporting a bushfire expert. The Fraser Island fire burnt for ~60 days after a campfire on 14 Oct was not put out. ABC says quote [Bowman points to the K’gari-Fraser Island blaze, which burnt through nearly half the World Heritage-listed site before being contained by heavy rain.
The problem, he says, is “the lining up of the heatwaves and the flooding events”.
“Unfortunately, what happened in south-east Queensland is that there was this stupendous heatwave that enabled a fire to occur during a La Nina year,” he says, adding: “We wouldn’t have predicted such an intense fire”.

“So … we’re talking about really major extremes.”]
Hervey Bay Airport BoM# 40405 For saved image – looks the nearest reliable temperature data and no data looks remotely “stupendous” to me. The main lesson to take-away IMHO is that fire authorities should act quicker to put fires out – but there was an election in Queensland.
The Hervey Bay Airport link for temperature records just returns this:
“Our system has a problem and cannot complete your request.”
That is not an accident. Simple temperature records have become State secrets. I did suggest this would happen nearly a decade ago.
All of our institutions that I have anything remotely to do with have turned feral against the population. Bureaucrats, career politicians, judges up to and sometimes including the HC, medicos, police forces, MSM, Uni vice-chancellors …
Trust is actually a 4-letter word now. We have facebook dibber dobbers. Your facebook “friends” are likely not.
How quickly and easily the country has slid into monotone sludge.
I have added a screen save of the Hervey Bay daily max t for 2020. If anyone can detect the “stupendous heatwave” please point out the dates.
I am pondering a blog with a timeline on “good things under the LNP since the Abbott victory in Sep 2013”
Could be good legislation passed – or just good things not needing legislation – we are not fussy – just results or events that made you think – wow it is just as well we have a LNP Govt.
Google found me this from March 2014 Tony Abbott’s war on red tape starts with repeal day

I wonder what they achieved. At least steps in right direction.
>” … wow it is just as well we have a LNP Govt”
No takers, it seems.
Well, the one useful thing that Waffle (Turnbull) did was to force-feed the NBN into actual operation.
I’m aware of the resistance to that idea, of course – all that comes from the cities.
I live about an hour outside the Greater Sydney area (although that unbearable *sneak* Berejiklian has redefined the area for all the numpties) and for over *twenty* years we were unable to access ADSL2+ except at $1000+/month.. Best we could do was ADSL2 at about $60/month, limit 20Gb, speed 0.1 Mbps (yes, that number is correct). Landline phone about $30/month plus calls. I approached Telstra several times for ADSL2+ and received a cynical email suggesting that first I collect 20,000 signatures. Those outside the cities are second class citizens, you see.
The NBN was turned on and we had no choice then anyway – either the NBN or no service, no phone, no net. Now for the same monthly cost ($60/month), we have 50 Mbps (generally about an acceptable 45 Mbps) 500Gb limit, landline phone with the old number preserved with national calls both mobile and landline included for $10/month.
The NBN does have occasional spouts of dropouts – annoying – but is slowly improving this (I think).
For those who think that mobile wifi is the way, we cannot reliably achieve 3G signal, let alone any highfaultin 4G or 5G, and even struggle with 2G.
Now someone change my mind.
Perhaps I should add that I know Red Underpants Conjob (ALP) kickstarted the NBN to grab back what the telecom unions lost when Howard sold Telstra off. The silly notion of fibre to every premise ensured the whole thing was bogged in sticky mud to its’ axles.
So, yes, Waffle cut that Gordian knot. I cannot think of another useful development that the LNP achieved since 2013, though.
