Agree with most of that Scott. Don't get me started on inner city leftists - it's not just Australia.

I do think the BOM and ABC have suffered badly due to funding cuts over the last ten years or so, but that doesn't excuse ABC's behaviour. I stopped watching ABC and SBS over 20 years ago, except for ABC in disasters.

As for the weather. Blue skies, blue skies, blue skies. The occasional white cloud. A build up in the west late afternoon which disappears with the sun. Pleasant temps the last few days. Cool nights and early mornings. Drying out, of course.
