On February 14, 2024,

Melbourne faced a major power crisis that left 620,000 homes and businesses without power, as reported by ABC News. Of these outages, 530,000 resulted from downed powerlines, while an additional 90,000 were due to load shedding, a preventative step to avoid system collapse.
This event left over 1.5 million Victorians without electricity on a sweltering day.

The chaos began as extreme weather conditions swept across the state. High temperatures, fierce winds, and thunderstorms converged, creating a perfect storm of destruction. Powerlines and poles were knocked down, leaving widespread damage. By mid-afternoon, more than half a million customers—mostly with Ausnet and United Energy—were affected, grappling with the sudden and overwhelming blackout.

All it took were some 122kmph wind gusts and we lost power:

When six towers toppled in Geelong's northern suburb of Anakie on Tuesday this week,
more than half a million Victorians were cut off from power.

They formed a crucial part of the more than 65,000 kilometres of high-voltage transmission lines slicing their way across Victoria, connecting electricity generators like coal-fired power stations and wind farms to substations dotted across the state.


The collapse of the six towers north of Geelong was a result of a thunderstorm system passing over the region, producing wind gusts of up to 122kmph.

Indians and Muslims are for the most part citizens of Australia.  Despite what you think there is only one class of citizen in Australia, get used to is, Soren.  Tsk, tsk, tsk...

Nur, a Somali national who arrived in the UK illegally in October 2024 by small boat, had his asylum application rejected in January this year. Five months later, on 6 May, he walked into a branch of Lloyds bank in Derby, in the East Midlands. Johal, a complete stranger to Nur, happened to be waiting in a queue inside the bank. Nur pulled a knife from his trousers and forcefully stabbed Johal in the chest.

Nur was in and out of the bank in just 22 seconds. And just like that he had devastated the lives of Johal’s wife, his two children and his wider family and friends. The CCTV footage of the murder, replayed in court, drove several distressed family members from the room in tears. ‘Our lives didn’t just change’, read their impact statement. ‘They shattered… We are tormented by “what ifs.”’

Nur was sentenced not two days after a triple stabbing in Uxbridge. Wayne Broadhurst, a 49-year-old refuse-collector, was stabbed to death while walking his dog around the block. A 45-year-old man was left with life-changing injuries, while a 14-year-old boy was also attacked.

Like Nur, Broadhurst’s alleged murderer had also entered the UK illegally. An Afghan national, he had arrived on the back of a lorry in 2020 before being granted leave to remain in 2022.

Families across the country are being forced to pay the price for a spineless government only too happy to play Russian Roulette with the public. It’s not even as if those who do pose a threat do so unexpectedly. Nur had police records in the four different European countries he’d landed in before reaching the UK.

There are two classes of citizens in Australia, those that are happy to be Australian and those who want to be different.
Are Muslims who want Sharia law the same as citizens who abhor the thought?

Comparing Indians and Muslims is rather stupid [but to be expected], Muslims are members of a political movement with religious overtones whereas Indians are citizens of an independent nation, some of whose citizens are Muslims but the majority of citizens belong to other religions .

Are you fit to be a citizen of Australia, many have their doubts?
