"Well Jade I think I spoke too soon about Turkey. It seems they're back to their old ways pretty quickly. Maybe they thought the attention was being drawn away from them??" The Prime Minister would chuckle.
"It seems we will need to respond in some way or another. My sailors just got back from...
NORTHERN INDIAN OCEAN, 9 DECEMBER 1999
As the 1999-2000 Australian Region Cyclone Season began, two cyclones would form simultaneously in the Indian Ocean. One would form just north-east of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands whereas the other would form south-west of the Indonesian side of the island...
"Do you know the status of the RAAF jet? It's a Boeing 737, very distinguishable livery should say "Royal Australian Air Force" on the side."

Once inside the aircraft and the door was shut she would say to her advisors.
"Well that was a big fucking waste of my time, but that was kind of almost expected. Should've wagered on it, frankly. Get us home."
The...
"And what about the status of the Heard and McDonald Islands? I think we need to discuss that and treat it as a seperate matter as that was in fact sovereign Australian territory before being stripped of us in the Antarctic Resolution. We have no plans to conduct high-intensity research there...
"Yes runways will need to be built to allow aircraft to come in, including the Airbus A319 operated by the Australian Antarctic Division and RAAF aircraft operating as the Antarctic Flight. They will maintain day-to-day logistics, well... week-to-week, these things do not need to be daily. The...
"Winter we're looking at 60 scientists, flexing up to 400 in the summer."
The pilots would switch frequencies to ATC. "Why was a pushback authorised? We didn't request this. And why didn't you inform us?"
Connor
"Obviously infrastructure would need to be built to house the scientists. An environmental impact assessment will be done prior to construction but I don't expect there to be many issues with the construction, it would be chosen in appropriate locations to minimise the impacts on the...
