What is all this about corruption in Queensland. Australia is an obviously a dictatorial place but finding out anything about anything there seem preposterously limited. Someone is doing something but what?

Instead of indicating support for only one candidate, voters in Queensland elections rank the candidates in order of preference. Ballots are initially counted for each voter's top choice.

If a candidate has more than half of the vote based on first-choices, that candidate wins. If not, then the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated. The voters who selected the defeated candidate as a first choice then have their votes added to the totals of their next choice.

This process continues until a candidate has more than half of the votes. When the field is reduced to two, it becomes an "instant runoff" that allows a comparison of the top two candidates head-to-head.

Queensland has a long tradition of domination by strong-willed, populist premiers, often accused of authoritarian tendencies, holding office for long periods.

I bet, china's control over all the ports along the coast that gets all its weather is causing something very naughty since before Sever Tropical Cyclone Pam about 2016 Tonga.

The advent of extreme tropicalcyclone Pam never existed:
http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/tropical-cyclone-knowledge-centre/history/past-tropical-cyclones/

But it bloody well did, it hit Tonga in March 2016

Severe Tropical Cyclone Pam second most intense South Pacific Ocean one of the worst natural disasters in the history of Vanuatu.[1] A total of 15–16 killed notably the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, and New Zealand.

3rd most intense storm of the South Pacific Ocean according to pressure, after Winston of 2016 and Zoe of 2002.
2nd most intense tropical cyclone in 2015, behind Hurricane Patricia. Pam is tied with Orson, Monica, Marcus and Fantala for having the second strongest ten-minute maximum sustained winds in the Southern Hemisphere. Thousands of homes, schools and buildings were damaged or destroyed, with an estimated 3,300 people displaced as a result.

Pam formed on 6 March, east of the Solomon Islands tracked south, reaching tropical cyclone intensity 8 March reaching Category 5 cyclone status on both the Australian and Saffir–Simpson scales on 12 March.

Peak windst 250 km/h (155 mph) through Vanuatu 14 March, Pam's winds began to weaken, but its pressure dropped further to a minimum of 896 mbar (hPa; 26.46 inHg) before rising shortly afterwards weakening accelerated as it moved poleward. On 15 March, Pam passed northeast of New Zealand transitioning to an extratropical cyclone. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclone_Pam

First sight: odd only shows up twice on the MetO charts.
Hell no, look for eruptions ongoing 20 March 2015. I had no idea what the signal for eruptions half a world away is. I am a slow learner the angels have been firing holy spirit at me all this time. I deserve a spanking.

My apologies to avag...@gmail.com. He stopped posting here some years back. He had learned that Boat Tailed Grackles could signal eruptions. He thought they were telling him about hunters shooting them. Probably the same signal.
