OT: Current Affairs and Politics

I just heard on the radio poor Albo has been heckled on the South Coast of NSW and got told to go home.

What are the locals carrying on about down there

some outrage merchants are pretending to care about whales because they don't want to have wind turbines on the horizon ruining their view of the boats carry shipping containers and coal

 

[bazza]

Is that what Ben Fordham said ?

Ben said that Albo might need a stiff drink of Woke-a-Cola after all the heckling

 

[bazza]

Nah, all to do with offshore windfarms and the new leftwing commie pinko treehugger candidate.

who is the new candidate?

 

[Avenger]

Albo is going to get massacred at the election.

I heard he went to a pub showing an FA cup match and everybody clapped

It was Lake Illawarra, that's not the South Coast, it's barely South Cronulla

Wokey McWokeface

I’m pretty neutral.

I think both sides are sliming their way across to try to the capture the middle.

Trumpism isn’t really helping Dutto because it’s perceived as being quite extreme. So I said it before, it’s a dangerous car to be a political passenger in.

I haven’t checked what he’s up to today.

Steve BANNON has offered some clues about what’s going on in interviews.

Hes explained the reasoning behind the flurry of policy and foreshadowed a reckoning to come for Trumps state enemies.

But I don’t think Trump will go all the way with revenge, I think he is enjoying the popularity. His poll numbers are good.

It was the Off Shore Wind mob again. Zzzzz

PM heckled by residents opposed to offshore wind farms

This is from the EIS

The visibility of offshore wind turbines;

Considering that the turbines are to be located NOT LESS than 20km from the shore.

1. Distance from shore: The farther the turbines are, the less visible they are. At 20 km (12.4 miles), turbines will appear quite small on the horizon.
2. Height of the turbines: Offshore wind turbines are typically very tall, with heights of 150–250 meters (492–820 feet) including the rotor blades.
3. Curvature of the Earth: Due to the Earth's curvature, the base of the turbines may be obscured at a distance, and only the upper portions (such as the rotor and blades) will be visible.
4. Atmospheric conditions: Visibility is influenced by weather, haze, and lighting. On clear days, turbines may be more noticeable, while fog or haze can make them harder to see.

Estimation:​

Using the curvature of the Earth and basic geometry:

• The horizon for an observer at sea level is about 4.8 km (3 miles) away.
• At 20 km, the lower parts of the turbines will be obscured by the curvature.
• For a 200-meter (656 feet) tall turbine, about 120–150 meters of the upper portion (the blades and nacelle) will be visible above the horizon.

What would they look like from the beach?​

• They would appear as tiny silhouettes on the horizon, especially at 20 km.
• Depending on the lighting and contrast, you might notice the blades slowly turning.

Sydney to Hobart could be a bit of an obstacle course

I am sure that they were avid Labor voters at the last election

Probably more to the Left than that

What is rinse and repeat is your low tier trolling. What you need to do is a) get better at trolling or b) contribute to the thread by posting intelligent rebuttals to the politics that seemingly grates your gears.

Instead you seem to be keen on posting TV Week style reviews on who you like and dislike. Who made you king of the thread ?

ALBOS GOTTA GO

So shorten / labour don’t have policies unless you like them

Shorten - Shortest price favourite to lose an election.

Around my area they had baloons out and streamers on election day to celebrate the $1.08 favourite. I can't stand ScoMo but it was quite hilarious how badly he was smashed. Parties ruined.

A surprisingly apt analogy. Switzerland claimed to have no dog in the fight but were more than happy to provide safe haven for all the stolen Nazi gold. Profits before principles.
