    Further to the above conversation.
    There is an amount of confusion here.
    1/ Flowing floodwater=If it's flooded forget it.
    If you're dumb as dogshoit to attempt then you deserve what's coming...hence my newsworthy example.

    2/ Standing floodwater in a 2WD= Walk through until water reaches perhaps midcalf on a 6'er and negotiate in 1st/low gear so as not to have water ingress into the enginebay and you should be ok.

    3/Standing floodwater in a proper 4wd,not SUV,without a snorkel.Walk through until no higher than bottom of grill height then 1st gear low range through,a tarp in front of the grill will be an advantage and you'll be able to enter slightly higher water levels if you can maintain a constant speed
    .
    4/Standing water in a proper 4wd with snorkel and a 3" suspension lift,6 spotties on the front,15000 lb front winch,8000lb rear winch,4 aerials on the bullbar:Foik the walk through select 2nd high,make sure you've a Bundy in your right hand and blast the foik through creating the largest bow-wave in Youtube history!

    I remember when Troy went missing as a 5yo and then again as a 10yo the amount of grief kids cause

    It took me an hour the first time and 1/2 a day the second, each time you can only think the worst as a parent and it takes years off your life so I don't begrudge anyone who needs choppers/coppers/SES/etc to find their kid

    What about the amount of money AUS spends getting "adventurers" out of the southern ocean when the SHTF ?

    Except NONE of the housing boom was 'central planned' - this disaster began when local officials were allowed to sell leases in their districts (ALL land in China is still owned by the nation) to developers to build apartment blocks (with big 'incentives' paid to the officials and governments). All of the developers were well-connected party members, or sympathisers in the case of the HK developers who got into the game.

    Well yes, but that's still Communist central planning.

    No, it was actually an experiment in 'free market'... Nothing about it was 'planned'...

    Everything about the CCP is planned. One day, the West will wake up. Maybe you, too!

    The only thing ,so far,that makes me want to hug D Trump....in a non sexual way of course:

    Ending DEI programs, defining ‘sex’

    Mr Trump announced “immediate” executive actions to end diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs in the US government, and recognise “only two”, biologically distinct sexes.

    “As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders, male and female,” Mr Trump said in his speech.

    Under the change, government agencies will be required to use the definitions on documents like passports, visas and employee records, an incoming White House official told NPR.

    “These are sexes that are not changeable, and they are grounded in fundamental and incontrovertible reality,” the official said.

    Taxpayer funds will not be allowed to be used for “transition services”.

    Pity our mob are too gutless to introduse this......and a swaythe of other anti woke stuff.

    Welcome to Jurassic Park !!!

    While I don't condone this LBGTQRWXDGF brigade I believe there ARE some people born as male/female whose minds are wired for the other gender brain thoughts BUT they are few and far between.

    Sure, stop this woke crap of IDENTIFYING as black/white/male/female/dog/cat/etc but in genuine trans cases (needs to be proved by psychs) the change itself should be at the trans's cost

    The world has NEVER been black and white and I still hate Trump and the American system of allowing POTUS to pardon people willy nilly is totally wrong, Biden did it to save his son from going to jail and Trump is going to pardon those morons that stormed the seat of their democracy .... what a ****ing joke
