  1. “Plans are underway to build the nation's biggest #DataCentre in #WesternAustralia's remote far north to support large-scale artificial intelligence #AI training, including systems like ChatGPT. Powered by #wind, #solar and #NaturalGas, Project Meridien would deliver about 240 megawatts of IT capacity and cost billions of dollars. The "#AIFactory" would be built in stages on #Karajarri country south of #Broome in the #Kimberley, 2,000 kilometres north of Perth, and is projected to open in 2032.”

    Coastal and remote. If we look at the middle east conflict it is also vulnerable to cyclones and offshore threats.

  4. CW: 2016: US military bases in Australia: Protecting us or putting us at risk? NewsDotCom

    The USA is no longer our friend. At what point does it become our enemy. It flies its soldiers and its weapons in and out of the country in secret. They need to be evicted ASAP.

    #PineGap Is the “poisoned heart of Australia”

    “Some of the world’s best fighters and bombers, and Osprey hybrid aircraft, now regularly fly into Darwin and nearby #ShoalBay Receiving Station and #RAAFTindal in #Katherine, with huge ships coming down from a US base in Okinawa, Japan.

    “The Defence Satellite Communication Station at #Geraldton in Western Australia, along with #Kojarena 20km inland, was one of Australia’s spy bases. It is now shared with two large American operational military communication systems that pull down information on Indonesian and Chinese satellites from the sky. This is part of the Five Eyes surveillance system used in Iraq and Afghanistan…

    ”Australia paid $800 million for one of the satellites used by this system. But if America does not approve of an operation the Australian Defence Force requests, for example in Timor, it can turn off our access, says Prof Tanter.

    “The US also has access to the #Delamere Air Weapons range and the #BradshawRanges (which are the size of Cyprus) in the NT, and the multinational training facility of #ShoalwaterBay in Rockhampton, which boasts a mock town complete with pub, mosque and church…

    “Mr Doherty believes there are effectively almost 50 joint bases from #Broome in WA to #Richmond in NSW, since the US can use all Australian bases in a poorly defined “emergency”, and regularly does. The government insists there are only two joint bases, Pine Gap and #NorthWestCape, since troops rotate out of #Darwin — a claim Prof Tanter slams as “specious”.

    Great morning at Cable Beach on the inflatable sup. Bit hard to stand but kneeling was great. Even caught a small wave all the way to the sand (while kneeling). Might be 4th time we have used it but will try and remember to get it out a bit more often.
