How would you feel about being filmed without consent while teaching your toddler to swim? Or lying on…

Just for scale and perspective, here's how the size of the Gaza Strip compares with major Australian metro areas.

Sydney: Cronulla to Narrabeen.

Western Sydney: Castle Hill to Campbelltown.

(You can comfortably fit one Gaza in Western Sydney, a second from the southern suburbs to the Northern Beaches, and still have plenty of room to spare.)

Melbourne: Werribee and Tarneit to Epping and Campbellfield.

Canberra: Roughly the same area.

Gold Coast: Roughly the same area.

Brisbane: Brisbane Airport to near Ipswich.

Adelaide: Port Adelaide to Morphett Vale.

Perth: Joondalup to Fremantle.

Almost 6 minutes to cross one intersection, near a school. I told my local representatives about this. They don't give a fuck. They drive cars. Almost everybody here drives cars and will drive cars, because the other options suck. It starts with land zoning, not building footpaths, car parking minimums, and ends with traffic light programming and a motorway through koala habitat.

So, yesterday's storm looks like it hit the #GoldCoast very hard… listening to the 2m net on VK4RGC (which itself is running on batteries).

There are reports of major damage throughout the #ScenicRim and #GoldCoast council areas, with lots of areas without power… and most significantly, lots of cell sites whose batteries have gone flat.

So lots of people lacking phone access.

I’ve never really given #Starlink much thought, but having used the #NBN for several years now, with never-ending downtime and intermittent speed issues, I feel like maybe it’s time to seriously look into the feasibility of this (once it’s available in my area, which is *supposedly* happening this year)… At AU$130 / month, the NBN is awfully hard to justify, given the quality of the network. | #broadband #AussieBroadband #Australia #GoldCoast #NBNCo
