#navalhistory - great thread here. Also I believe Jellicoe had a major obsession with boat handling arrangements which led to some very weird design choices for some British dreadnoughts

They weren’t lifeboats! Something you’ll notice about Dreadnoughts and cruisers during both World Wars was the number of ships boats carried. From launches to whalers, pinnacles gigs and cutters. The standby seaboat for man overboard, but they had more roles /1

Arggghh! Visa are the worst company in the world - or is it Microsoft. Trying to use one hideous USA type product to solve a problem with another is torture. For this and many reasons it would be great if the USA left our planet and went to another one - life would be a lot easier without them.

Yesterday the Senate agreed to my motion that calls on the government to fix our broken lobbying laws. It's time for politics to work for Australians, and that starts with lobbying reform. This is a great first step. Go to www.fixlobbying.com.au and join my call for lobbying reform.

Could you imagine having "Prime Ministerial libraries" for retired Australian prime ministers? Bob Hawke's would be a pub. Tony Abbot's an onion patch, Morrison would have some sort of slime pit.
