I started mentioning the shortcomings of the F-35 about three years ago. David Archibald has done much research on the F-35 and updated on 10 Oct 2018. Then a day or so later came the news of the global grounding.
Just another Australian Govt financial(and Security) disaster.
Dr Hewson campaigns in Wentworth byelection
It is a shame that when Dr Hewson campaigns in the Wentworth byelection he is not asked some hard questions about the viability of solar thermal electricity generation schemes has has promoted over the years. He should also be asked about ARENA who found that concentrated solar thermal (CST) technology could be a commercially viable form of dispatchable renewable energy within a decade. English translation – NOT VIABLE NOW. Dr Hewson and Solastor have for years promoted aq model where tracking mirrors concentrate the suns rays on a graphite block generating steam to drive turbines – but despite over a decade of trials and pilot projects in Cooma and Lake Cargelligo I am not aware this system is working continuously anywhere delivering grid electricity economically? Solastor has no news for 2018 which suggests they realize their models are a fail. Vast Solar Pty Ltd(Dr Hewson has no connection I am aware of) have their long gestating solar thermal plant near Forbes that heats molten sodium but that has been sidelined in favour of a simple solar PV development. ARENA is not supporting any Port Augusta projects I can find and ditto for the Clean Energy Finance Corporation. I am keen to hear of any Govt support for concentrated solar thermal projects anywhere in Australia.

A rare event for the ABC as Manjimup farmers make the news. Anybody who has been following the issues knows that “our drying climate” and other related slogans have been WA Govt mantra since the introduction of seawater desalination ~2004.

BoM Victoria rain anomalies map downplays rain
Hawkeyed reader Bob has sent in this example of the BoM August rainfall anomaly map for Victoria failing to reflect above average rain at BENDIGO AIRPORT (081123) 51.5 Norm, 56.4 in August , CASTLEMAINE PRISON (088110) 66.4 Norm, 66.6 in August. And then a little further south the anomalies contours make no sense either – DAYLESFORD (088020) 103.0 Norm, 111.4 in August, TRENTHAM (POST OFFICE) (088059) 124.8 Norm, 154.5 in August, and WOODEND (088061) 90.3 Norm, 91.3 in August. 
Larger map
The Daylesford daily data shows another type of error with rainfall left unrecorded in the gauge four times during the month – on the 8th the reading covered the previous 6 days. Well water evaporates so Daylesford rain for August was understated. Amazing with so much publicity about drought and wealthy Australia can not read a simple factor like rainfall to a proper standard.
