@Kiwiwomble sonar is used for underwater vessels/ navigation. If the Chinese did it, it would've been deliberate.

And in shock news AlanJones is gay, and a little creepy.
Nothing to do with that time he actually got busted with a young man in a public toilet?
Seems there's four new blokes accusing him.
Just need to go back to that weird video of him and Brian Smith in the stands of the 87 semi final...
Or read the book...

@antipodean what could've been… Newman had the most chaotic office and set of advisers that was only matched by Rudd’s chaos. Hopeless.
Palaszczuk might be smarter than I give her credit. She gave her deputy a ringing endorsement in yesterday’s press conference. If Miles gets it, things will be even worse and some will be calling for Palaszczuk to come back!
Unfortunately for Qld the left faction of Labor has too much of a stronghold and a sensible third option other than Miles or Fentiman is no hope.

Pretty much everyone who isn't a union official hates Miles

I saw Anna speak not 2.weeks ago and couldn't believe how lacking in charisma or even polish she was.
State opposition across the country have a lot to answer for. Because they have been so rubbish a lot of very average Permiers have had a lot of time.
I have no faith in the LNP either. They'll get 1 term Max.
-
Despite her obvious limitations she'll go down as the nobody who led the ALP to an impossible win in her first opportunity.

Queensland’s Paradise Dam, built by the Beattie Labor government less than 20 years ago to irrigate one of Australia’s most productive food bowls, will be abandoned and replaced with a new dam because construction defects are so bad.
After more than four years of work on a $1.2bn joint state-federal government repair of the 300,000 megalitre dam, near Bundaberg, new tests show that concrete in the once-52m high wall is so degraded it will be a future safety risk to the local population.
The dam, opened in 2006 and constructed under a then-lauded private public partnership set-up by the state government, was found to be riddled with design and structural problems in 2019.
The wall was lowered by 5m for the repair, cutting its original storage capacity to 42 per cent, amid fears it could break apart if the dam was filled in an extreme weather event.
But now testing by the dam operator, state-owned SunWater, has found that the “existing dam wall has too many issues to be repaired’’.

Engineers that live in that region have a lot to answer for .....
Dunno what you mean...
Had a very peripheral involvement when we looked after the restoration works post 2013. Staff member did some inspections. IIRC something to do with the inlet works, or pump station maybe? Nothing to do with the dam. Thankfully.
