  1. 🧵 1/2: I recently saw this vintage #Qantas poster with a unique “flower” map projection centered on #Sydney (1st image). I love how it almost neatly divides the four largest continents (Eurasia, Africa, and North and South America) into the 4 “petals”.

    I sorta became obsessed and wondered if I could recreate it using my mapmaking and coding skills.

    Some days of tinkering, coding, and mathing later, I think I managed to do it! (2nd image) 🎉🗺️

  22. Australians are angry with firms like #pwc #optus #telstra #medibank #riotinto and #facebook #Meta, following huge #databreache and other scandals.
    And #Qantas has fallen from one of the country's most trusted brands to one of its most distrusted.

  23. The notion that #privatising large public companies like #Qantas, #Telstra, the #CBA, #Medibank and #energy companies to crony #capitalists was ever going to benefit the #Australian public seems so deluded now, given how history has evolved.
    Privatising Qantas has to be one of the most flagrant acts of self-harm committed by any Australian government.
