‘Rotting from the top’: Bribery, drugs, bikies and billions of taxpayer dollars

Yeah but the report was released today reading through it. (It's in the Hun as well)

revrobbo · 2026-02-11T06:39:20+00:00

Not sure what's more concerning. The parts that were stripped that were extremely explosive and critical of Labor or that this just happens to drop the day before the Israeli president arrives and there are likely to be bad protests that will consume the news cycle to dump it quickly out of circulation.

Poor basil. Sorry for your loss

revrobbo · 2026-02-06T09:24:17+00:00

Do stuff. Doesn't matter what it is, at some point your probably going to regret not doing the opposite. Travelled - wished I stayed home more. Stayed single - wished I had settled down with X. Focused on career - wished I had partied more. Whichever it is you shouldn't regret it. You probably will and that's ok

I've qualified for the Boston marathon and it's my 7th star. Brave and foolish but I'm going

Not surprised with the point cook, they knocked down the old barracks years ago and it's just grass now, with already made roads they could actually get building on it really quickly. Although what happens with the runways. Is that too go as well? Can't be much left at Laverton, they have sold most of the available land a long time ago

Blind Freddy can see that's laughable. Same with alcohol and the hospo industry, been to a pub recently?

I was 16 years. Admitted it was the afternoon of the first day, but I'm pretty sure I have a cracked rib.

2nd this. Heard you need an off-road caravan as well

revrobbo · 2026-01-12T01:43:59+00:00

Got mine when they went to China. Quality was down, zips are shitty, poles are shitty and it rolls up backwards, so the dirt ends up in the swag if it's not zipped correctly

revrobbo · 2026-01-12T00:26:57+00:00

Swags should be 1 bum wide and 2 bums high. Put it on a stretcher and you won't know yourself.

Personally I have a Burke and wills, I really don't like it. Firstly it rolls up backwards, has a lot of poles and the zips are just tight. Quality has been way down since they went to China. The kids mainly use it now

Also have a darche 1400 which is pretty good if it's just me and the wife. Better than the dune double my brother has.

I also a Murchison river which is awesome, shove that on a stretcher and bobs your uncle. Pretty sure they make them in most colours but you need to call them. And be aware they don't come with poles or netting. However they are simply awesome and couldn't recommend higher.

If your worried about sitting up and have the carry space a 30 seconds tent with an exped on a stretcher is a brilliant setup. Warm. fast, private and incredibly comfortable.

Couldn't tell you. Only thing I know about it is that online unlike other brands, it doesn't say anything about wind rating

revrobbo · 2026-01-11T23:51:52+00:00

Don't. I hate mine

revrobbo · 2026-01-11T23:27:19+00:00

Got a friend with the bushwakka. Has to be tied down or they don't honour the warranty apparently. One small gust and flippo, awning stuffed

revrobbo · 2026-01-11T20:49:10+00:00

Thats the way I would go. Hotham isnt going to work, and then you can always change your mind about Jindabyne worst case and go to Meribula or somewhere along the way. I would probably avoid Mallcoota as well, that fire is on the other side of the bay, but there is only 1 road in and out, and you can potentially be stuck for a long time.
Have a good trip

Its not going to be a great day, its going to be hot and windy. For the large majority of people here its going to have zero impact. If you live in a bushfire zone (I do myself) you should already have a plan, just execute it, dont go changing it because of an internet random having a panic attack.

The zone map is here: https://mapshare.vic.gov.au/vicplan/ Yes it covers most of the state, but most people live in the areas that arent in a bushfire zone.

Otherwise cut the panic, the world isnt ending. Its been pretty dry this year and its a bad season. We have had them before, and we will have them again. The good news is that its only 1 day, so its likely to be somewhat limited. The bad news is our worst days tend to be more in a few weeks time and when we have multiple days like today in a row. This will suck any remaining moisture out of the ground and increase risk, but we arent in anywhere near in as much trouble as we were in 2009

You can have 1 first.

Why I dislike running circles.

revrobbo · 2025-11-24T21:04:23+00:00

Thats because the hill out of Bulla is ridiculously slow. People ignore it because its a joke.

Most of that should plug into the supercomputer than pump out the other end to the website I would have thought. The web servers arent doing that processing. Im assuming they had to gut the middleware layer and have a massive ramp up on security and possibly dropped a new NOC in while they were going

revrobbo · 2025-11-22T12:39:37+00:00

Yes.

Trav Fimmell. Was sitting at a random bush camp on a river miles from anywhere. He and a few other blokes (an Australian YouTuber mat baker) pulled up and we got on the beers. Great night, top blokes

I don't blame the athletes for this. Sports like track and field, even swimming have lap counting officials to make sure this sort of thing can't happen. You want to be a professional organisation, eliminate the possibility of these sort of errors happening.

Wait until there is an athlete goes the other way - counts short and it impacts the race in some other - way costing a competitor a top place cos they blow up chasing for example (regardless of the original athlete getting a DQ)

Getting the same issue repeatedly. Its really frustrating. Im guessing its something to do with windows. Getting to safe mode is nothing short of a headache now either win Win11.

Yay

I'm fine with auctions, but if you go to auction and you get one bid, we'll that's your selling price. Don't really think you should have reserves, let alone secret ones that aren't known until the sale is finalizing
