Remember when we had a Government that made every effort to prevent business liquidations and job redundancies during a global pandemic and encouraged people to be kind to each other and then dickheads occupied Parliament to complain about it and then inflicted Winston Peters on us?😒
All those things, plus chronic, systematic underfunding of research activity that underpins "performance" in these (altogether stupid & counterproductive) rankings. [Guardian article at www.theguardian.com/australia-ne... ]

The story is intriguing, though it has some redundancies, clichés, and predictability. The cinematography shines with a bleak desert setting that evokes melancholy and isolation. Most impressive is Sarah Paulson's performance; her dedication to the character truly carries the movie.

Oh, I'm sure they thought out a lot of redundancies and over-engineered the hell out of those buildings. But just wait for when the coast is suddenly moved up a few miles and we have Cat 7 storms.
