Warg Arry Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Just got a call from a friend asking how we faired through last night's earthquake.My mind is blown. There was an earthquake. In Australia. In my generalised area. And I was completely unaware.Any one else in Queensland that actually felt it?Apparently it was a 5.2One tweet that made me laugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhangel Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 That particular lawn chair has lead a remarkably unfortunate life. Well travelled, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arya_underfoot Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Yup! We felt the earthquake in Brisbane last night. There was some mild shaking and a few things moved in the garage. No damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warg Arry Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm on the northside. So either the effects were felt quite this far over. Or we just slept through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gears of the Beast Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Shout out to our Qld and northern NSW boarders to stay safe during Marcia's visit. Haha I just moved away from Northern NSW, was somewhat confused when my family told me they were preparing for a cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh_wulff Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Well school was cancelled on the mid North Coast today. My friends are safe. I'm glad I live in Sydney now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's very very wet where I am in Brisbane but otherwise not too bad. My cousin is outside Mackay and they lost part of their roof so it could be much worse. Bad weather seems to be following me lately. From blizzard in Boston straight into qld cyclone. Hope everyone stays safe and dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warg Arry Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I'm so happy to be home today. I haven't been properly dry in days. When the rain lets up. I'll have to get the interior of my car cleaned and aired out. It hasn't been properly dry in days either. Apart from the wet people, umbrellas, boots, bags and jackets. My driver-side window stopped working and got stuck in the down position. Interior and me soaked. But my heart really goes out to the people further up North. Having a cat 5 coming at you and the prospect of losing everything. Must be terrifying.We haven't heard from friends in Rocky yet. And the relative in Bundaberg is fine. She has been posting regular video updates to Facebook. Apart from it being a little windy. She has blue skies. Generally very pleasant weather. Weirdly.

karaddin Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Well there is Tones, but he seems intent on destroying his government himself so not much more to be said. My questions are whether the party room will swallow their hatred of Malcolm like Labor did of Rudd, and if so if he can hold it off till the right time (ie when he can have an election reasonably soon) or if he'll get stuck taking over from an incompetent too far out from the next election (bit of deja vu there, who could have known Nelson would be quite so bad...umm anyone that was paying attention, just like with Tones).

Horza Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 It looks like Turnbull only wants the leadership if it comes on a silver platter with a big engraved 'Hey Malcolm, we're really sorry about November 2009, we'll never do it again" card courtesy of the right. Have fun with that game, Charlie Brown. Now why is every halfway ambitious candidate taking pains to be a Peter Costello over a Paul Keating? Basically because the Liberal grassroots still loves Tony Abbott and can't understand why the rest of us are counting down the days. This is bad news for Turnbull. Howardism lives on beyond Howard, and Tony is his self-described lovechild (with Bronwyn Bishop in the maternal role. You're welcome). Lacking any firm connection to Australian political life, the Libs are doing the same thing Labor did under Gillard: talking to the base over everyone else. It just happens that the party base is small and way outside mainstream Australian concerns, but they're the ones spamming Liberal MPs with form emails telling them not to succumb to the Stygian lures of Malcolm Turnbull. The way the political calendar works, the Libs have already spurned the last chance to press 'flush' until about June, so strap in for months more flailing from the insolvent Bank of Tony, a torrid NSW Liberal campaign and a second utterly incoherent Federal Budget. No, ignore the doubters guys, things will turn around for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
