I disagree with the small scale politics. On small levels people tend to be leaner with their spending as they actually see it. On higher levels they look at the number of thousands or millions being spent rather than individual dollars. Though this probably changes depending on industry and region.
I'm on the fence regarding the ADF being used in times of need. On one hand if the ADF are tied up sorting out a natural disaster then they can't perform their core function of protecting Australia's borders, on the other hand we aren't at war so why shouldn't they help. If they were scaled up or to add a federal 'ses' (fes?) then I'd be onboard
Unplug both ends and use a multimeter to check resistance between the individual wires at one end. Should be OL (out of limits) on screen.
Try earthing one end as slazer2au said. The cable may be bringing in stray voltage thats messing with the device.
84m for pairs sounds right on a 76m cable when you adjust for the twists.
Some devices can push distance better than others. The cisco has eee and a short range option from memory. Make sure you turn all off on the port in question.
I see your point, I don't like it but I see it. It's kind of like the Boris Johnson style, seem like an incompetent oaf while actually undermining the country you purportedly love.
Wikipedia seems to back up these stat's. Though as someone that has discussed this topic with Chinese nationals several times, their number seems artificially low.
I think social media is blowing this out of proportion and making it sound bigger than it is.
I work in northern Melbourne which has a huge middle eastern community (and big emphasis on community), that for the most part just lives their lives without bringing middle eastern trouble here.
The pro gaza protests last year on occasion saw people go a bit far but no different to union rallies. I think people are nastier at costco or boxing day sales.
I go for the $1.99 hot dog when I'm working nearby. For nappies their standard price is normally cheaper but big w has sales for buggies that are better so i just load up.
I like wattle day as a national holiday. I also like 9 July as Australian day, when the Queen said we could be our own nation instead of a collection of British controlled colonies.
The most Australian thing to do is have more than one day off work to respect our nation by getting sunburnt and picking flowers. Real Aussies just want another day off.
