         It’s quite obvious to me, seeing all the old cuttings that Jody has found, that Australia has been in a very mild weather pattern since the last El Niño drought finished in the early 1990’s. It also shows how bloody tough our forebears were. Imagine droving, shearing, mining and labouring in this type of heat. I’ve worked outside in iron ore mines where the mercury has gone well over 50 deg C, and it is debilitating and dangerous. We have aircon at night to sleep and plenty of ice water. The old timers in the 1800’s had neither and in many cases had little water at all.
         Another reason why I have no respect for latte sipping green communists who want to tax the crap out of hard working Aussies. They are worse than leeches.
