Hello again
we have had a good couple of weeks since leaving Darwin and the Oasis Caravan park, starting off we went to the Pandanus park near Lichfield National park and based ourselves for 5 days while exploring the NP, jock stayed with the van while we went to the NP highlights, first day was a good walk along the river and taking in Buley Rock hole for a swim and the walk to Florence Falls.
the second day was a look at the Termite mounds and a couple of walks in the Bush along side the river.
the third was just kicking back and enjoying the company of new friends we met at the park, having a few drinks and the usual story swapping, on the 4 day we went to the Tolmer Falls and Wangi Falls we did try to get to the lost city but the track was closed.
After spend a lovely time in the Lichfield Np it was time to head of towards Katherine, along the way south we pulled into a little free camp along side another creek and water fall called Robin Falls just out of Adelaide River, it was so nice we decided to stay 3 days and just relax.
We didnt want to leave this little camp spot, but there was still so much to see and do with Katherine further south we packed up and said our farewells to all the neighbours and on the road again, we were going straight to Katherine but decided to pull into Hayes Creek road house which had a park out the back, a nice little park with some interesting walks, we were both getting over a flu we picked up so decided to rest up there for a few days.
we went for a walk into the Butterfly Gorge and couldn't believe our eyes, there must have been thousands of butterfly's just hanging around this little Gorge, i think it is a breading ground for them, with the butterfly's came the spiders some of the biggest i have ever seen the size of my hand.
After a couple of days we were feeling much better and on to Katherine where some friends from Darwin had booked us into the Boab Caravan park in Katherine, after settling in and saying our hello's to Tony, Liz, Ton and Bev we set up and had our first McDonald's for a very long time 🙂 the next day was a shop and restock for our trip to Alice Springs as we will be free camping most of the time going down the centre.
We went to the Katherine Gorge for a 4 klm walk and i decided to surprise Robyn with booking a helicopter ride over the Gorge.
well thats about all for this part of the NT we are now on the way to Mataranka Hot Springs for a soak and then onto Alice Springs, Safe Travels.
Once again some amazing photos so enjoy looking at them. Must of been a bit scary without a door on the helicopter

Looks like we have missed you in Katherine. We were there Saturday and Sunday nights, did the 2 gorge boat cruise on Sunday for the first time since 1982. We spent last night at the Heartbreak Hotel at Cape Crawford, and today arrived in Borroloola after spending the morning wandering around the amazing sandstone spires in Caranbirini Reserve. Not as many as the Bungle Bungles, but much more colourful. Beautiful! Are you heading out this way, or going straight down the highway?
Pooooo we must have been there the same time 🙁
Did the gorge on Sunday haha, we are now near three ways and heading south, so will have to catch up back in tassie when you guys get home, safe travels xxxx
No worries. We are now in Cloncurry! Safe travels to you, too. Enjoy the Red Centre – it's a fabulous place. And you'll enjoy a bit of cold weather again Robyn. Will let you know when we are heading back over the Strait, and hopefully catch up with you back on the little island.
Hi Guys looks like your having a wonderful time take care xx
Hi John, Robyn & Jock
As always fabulous photos'. Glad you see you are sticking to the "diet", yummy food and drinking. I suppose the end is coming round very quickly as another month has just started. Keep enjoying the great outdoors and safe travels. Lin & Bob x
Hi Robyn John and Jock
Wow John the photos are amazing love all the water falls some of my favourite photos, the butterfly gorge must have been amazing. Robyn I think I too would have been hanging on tight with no door on the helicopter. Travel safe xxxx
Hi John, Robyn & Jock.
Hope all is well, love your photo's.
Two weeks since we left Boab Caravan Park and we are now sitting in Ellendale Rest Area.
Tomorrow we will drive to Derby early as the girls want to experience the markets.
We went on the cruise at Lake Argyle, after Kununurra, Wyndham we then free camped close to the Bungle Bungles and Liz went for a day trip with Ton & Bev into the National Park.

When I was growing up, I had no idea that people traveled in August. Where I'm from, vacations happen in June and people spend their time on a beach without sunscreen. It wasn't until last year when I went to Paris did I become aware that entire cities basically shut down so people can escape the heat for a few weeks and unwind. What a concept. This past long and lonely August, the Bond House may as well have been France.

The Jakarta Post
Indonesia, perceived to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world, and Switzerland, previously known for having one of the strongest banking secrecy policies and as a safe haven for ill-gotten gains, signed early this week a mutual legal assistance agreement (MLA) on tracing and recovering stolen assets.
Yet more significant for Indonesia, which was ruled for more than 30 years by a corrupt authoritarian government until 1998, is that the agreement is retroactive. This means that the MLA could also apply to corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and illegal monetary gains committed over the last four decades.
The government deserves high commendation for concluding the MLA, given the strong commitment of the Swiss government to protecting the secrecy and integrity of its financial services industry in maintaining its status as one of the world's largest financial centers.
The MLA — which simplifies and accelerates procedures for tracing stolen assets, particularly by reducing formal requirements — is truly a strategic partnership between a developed country and a developing country. And while developing countries need to improve governance and accountability to curb corruption, developed nations should stop providing a safe haven for stolen proceeds.
The MLA will imbue the government with the authority to pursue unlawful money gained primarily through corruption, money laundering, tax evasion and other financial crimes. This does not, however, mean that the government can immediately ask Swiss authorities for information on the financial assets of Indonesian citizens at Swiss financial institutions.
The first — and perhaps the biggest — challenge for the government is for the MLA to be ratified by the House of Representatives, which is perceived as one of the most corrupt institutions in the country.
Given the presidential and legislative elections in April, we don't believe that the House members, 80 percent of who are seeking reelection, will have the time to deliberate the MLA before its new lawmakers are installed in October.
The second challenge is that only corruption, money laundering and tax evasion cases that have been tried and handed final and binding court rulings are eligible under the MLA.
Since such cases involve very complex transactions that may require more than two years to prosecute from the district court up to the Supreme Court, Indonesia may need technical assistance from the Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative (StAR) to build the institutional capacity of its legal institutions.
StAR is a program that the World Bank and United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime launched in 2007 to help developing countries recover assets stolen by corrupt leaders and officials.
Despite the challenges, the MLA is nevertheless a big boost in the drive against corruption and a deterrent to those intending to hide their criminal gains in Switzerland.

|I took a bunch of photos on my latest little adventure. Some of the good ones made it into pertinent blog posts. Others, due to theme, quality, or time restraint, never made the cut. Well, here's their big chance! I've compiled all the good-
There are 72 photos in the slideshow, so it might take a second or two to load up. I figure if my old laptop can handle it, your's should have no problem.
Oh, and it should be noted that not all the photos are mine. I stole–er, I mean reused a few photos from I Heart Jonahbees and Sir Maxalot, so there might be repeats for those of you that read those blogs*. I also snatched a picture or two from Sara's camera while she wasn't looking. You really gotta love the age of digital photography.
And second Oh: no fair making snide comments about how many self portraits there are. Being creative with picture taking while traveling is hard.

Thanks for the weekend show guys as always.
Really appreciate your efforts.
Hello everyone. Looking forward to this weekend's show.
Thanks Cory & Al for your hard work.
Jesse Felder was music to my ears as I own all the BANG stocks. Insiders at ABX keep buying thousands of shares in the open market. And Ivan Bebek at Auryn keeps buying AUG. Good things come to those who wait.
NEWS BRIEF: Shocking Reason Buffett Hates Bitcoin
Buffett is an inside whore………….ever wonder why he gave the comex 95 million ozs of silver…………….

Nobody cares about the sector…except a few😎
Hopefully we are the chosen few Skeeta 🙂
I'm actually quite excited about the precious metals & uranium sectors right now.
I'd love to know what Sean Brodrick thinks of George Glasier's Western Uranium.
He mentioned Energy Fuels and Vanadium favourably….
I've been a holder of Energy Fuels stock for a long time and it's done well.
Western should do even better I would've thought, if it stays in business and doesn't issue too many more shares.
George Glasier is the one that built up Energy Fuels in the last cycle, and he intends to do it again with WUC, but they just got denied their permit for the mill, so that is weighing heavy on the stock for now.
Their "ablation" technique in upgrading ore could be very profitable for lower grade ore, but there has been some permitting push-back on that as well. Wishing them all the best though, as I'd like to see more US based developers move into production when the pricing environment is supportive.
Their Vanadium may end up being more valuable than their Uranium. Same thing for AEC Anfield Energy.

Cory: Jesse has been a favorite of mine ever since I learned of him on this show. Your talk with him this week was exceptional. His thoughts on inflation going forward stemming from his study of different economic sources than many other analysts make his forecasts unique to say the least. Hope all is well with the newest family member and that you and Mom are getting your sleep. Thanks for the show.
Many already know this, but………
The original 1913 Income Tax only affected about the top 1% of earners, with brackets in the single digits. Naturally, there were assurances that the rates would never rise, and that the income brackets would never expand to lower earners.
We'll take whatever tax-relief crumbs that our oh-so-magnanimous Republican't champions will drop on the floor for us to nibble on. But can you just imagine the EXPLOSION of economic activity, investment and expansion of opportunity for all if we actually undid the great robbery of 1913? Sugar and I, er, "The Editorial Board" of The Anti-New York Times crunched some numbers. All it would take to kill the Income Tax and balance the Federal Budget would be the combination of the following initiatives:
a reduction of the Department of Offense from $700 Billion to $50 Billion
the immediate removal of millions of cash-rich seniors from the Social Security Pyramid Scheme and the lifting of the retirement age to 68 (until the program can be phased out completely)
means-testing for MediCare and the expulsion from the program of all elderly Turd Worlders who were sponsored to the U.S. by their children
the removal of all recent (15 years or less) immigrants (legal & illegal) from any welfare program
the repudiation of all Treasury Bonds (or maybe do a .50 on the dollar payback)
the closing down of the Departments of Education, Energy, Interior, Labor, Transportation, Homeland Security and CIA (for starters)
the termination of all Foreign Aid
the termination of ObongoCare (Expanded Medicaid)
If we were to make these spending cuts, end the personal income tax, kill the IRS, kill the Fed, and issue debt-free currency from the US Treasury that would be proportionate to productivity and backed by gold and silver — then THAT would truly "make America great again" — at least in the economic realm.
Oh if people only understood the kind of better life they are being deprived of by the PRC (Predatory jew Ruling Class)!

To constantly revisit what has already been proven can incur fatigue. Why should persons have to prove to disagreeable People anyway? If there's proof then that's all one need to "continue." What has been proven some are unable to accept. Some are more in tuned with trying to remove, destroy, and sabotage but should be focused on producing stability. What information and data has been collected? Collective information has been introduced to a powerful system. The civilians, the citizens of "The United States" are unable and unwilling to accept the what is.
The "Government" has their proof and is able to closely observe what's occurring now and what has occurred in the past. There's to reality that forward movements are to occur. What individuals perceive is what they perceive and some are unable to convince others they're wrong. No matter what's said "the proof" is accepted in so many arenas. The classifications, identifiers, collected data has been supplied. There's so many investigative measures which can be used in order to produce the necessary proof.
The unwilling may witness how their actions have caused the declines in which have occurred right now. Despite what has been posted, "communicated," and addressed the continuation of what the Government and others want is continuing. If the Government disagreed then the ceases of my mission wouldn't continue to prosper. I've been closely monitored so my behavior has been observed as well as others behaviors. There's the classification of good and there's the classification which entails bad behaviors.
Love conquers despite what some may think. There are many actions and so many have viewed my journey as their own. The name which holds value. What's "included" thus far some have misjudged. There's the many notations my prospering is notated. The challenges faced have caused more prosperity. Oh of course some may think that prosperity has to involve monetary It's been declared although some are still disagreeing about the decisions made. I've focused on the set areas and the revealing of what has occurred unseen won't until the latter part of my journey.
What is there to find and what has been found? Some have demonstrated what could be perceived as hatefulness. No matter what I'm going to continue to love. I've made progress whether a little or abundantly. Focusing is what should occur now and should have occurred then. The importance of protecting the sensitive information which can be considered as highly "informative information is." I've excelled by actions. There's the process of learning and there's continued thinking. Think! "Actions can be viewed across the globe. Worldly. Witnessed. " By: Tanikka Paulk
Hidden collective data is unable to reach the collective data which is placed in technological memory. There are so many wanting to reach the data. "The Government" has the power to collect data without individuals noticing what is occurring. Protected although it may appear as though I'm always sought after. I'm where I am right now but will be where I'm to be in a timely manner. "Defeat is in one's thoughts but victory is and shall be." (Tanikka Paulk).

1965 – Serendipity
Posted By Author on August 22, 2009
This is the most crucial year of the beginning of the quest of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. It was not possible to write everything in my diary. It would have consumed time and many pages while a particular date had only one page. I have put a few notes on the first and last pages meant for addresses, etc. Therefore, under the title comment, I have reproduced some facts by memory. Moreover, it was unsafe to write my opinions in a diary. The letters and the telegrams from the Ashram are incorporated in a separate chapter. Wherever date could not be located, I have put question mark. It may be mentioned that during this year, I was awfully burdened with several government committees at work and was mostly staying in Bombay or Pune.
Once, during my visit to Bombay, I was having lunch with Principal C.B.Joshi of Parle College. Prof. Thirunarayana of Madras, a well-known geographer. Datto Waman Potdar also joined the lunch. Datto Waman Potdar was an old man and a bachelor. He was a reputed historian. After meals, I had discussions with him on Subhash Chandra Bose. In his opinion, the death story of Bose was doubtful.
I had a queer dream. I met the great revolutionary V.D. Sawarkar. I wept and told him that Netaji was in Shaulmari Ashram. A couple of days after, I read news that Sawarkar was ill. ESP?
My one sided correspondence with the Ashram was going on since 1962 with no reply whatsoever.
Since 1962 in every vacation I was seeking permission of the Shaulmari Ashram for a visit. Again in the last week of August 1964, I wrote a reminder to the Shaulmari Ashram for permission to have an audience with His Holiness as my one month of Diwali vacation was to start from 10th Oct 1964. There was no response. In the summer vacation I had again sought permission from the Ashram. It was 21st May 1965. I was typing a letter to the Ashram in the rear room, the front room being the office of my lawyer brother. I half typed the letter on my Remington and as usual referred to earlier reminders. Then a vendor threw a newspaper. It crossed two doors and fell near my feet. It was folded with front half page in view. I was distracted and observed the headline. At the center there was a bold window about ten centimeters long in one column. The heading was "Shaulmari Ashram a hot bed of spies". I was surprised it was the Hitavada dated 21/5/1965. I went through the news. We never subscribed the English newspaper daily Hitavada of Nagpur. The paper belonged to the servant of India Society formed by Gopalkrishna Gokhale, and A.D. Mani was its editor. He was a member of the Upper House of the Parliament. The paper that I accidentally got probably belonged to some neighbour and the vendor mistakenly threw it. What a rare and perfect throw it was! I had typed almost half the letter to the secretary Ramani Ranjan Das. Immediately I referred the news and implored that I had faith in Ashram and had no credence in shabby news of the Hitavada. In brief I quoted my lineage and biodeta. I enclosed cutting of the news. The letter ended with permission for 'Darshan'. After five days I received a three pages telegram requesting me to collect thirty copies of the said Hitavada.
I received an express telegram mentioning that I was given 9th of September as the date for "Darshan" and that I should carry thirty copies of the Hitavada in which the news item had appeared. Another express telegram followed it. I had a very short time at my disposal. I took a loan for the journey and prepared notes to tally the personality of Subhash Chandra Bose with that of His Holiness. Since I had never seen Subhash Chandra Bose, I had to completely rely on armchair research work. With the help of my friend Dr Wadodkar, we jotted down points to be observed for confirmation.
The telegram I received was the longest I had ever seen in my life and that too addressed to me. I immediately sent a telegram confirming the appointment. See (CC) for Netaji's telegraphic correspondence with Gandhiji, Nehru, Rajendra Prasad, and Vallabhbhai Patel. It is in full pages. Moreover, Netaji used to write degrees of a person on the address in telegram. The same was the case with the Ashram's telegram to me.
I left Amravati by bus. Reached Nagpur. Caught a bus for Allahabad at 11 P.M. Bus failed in forest at 4 A.M. One tyre went flat. The driver refused to help the conductor to fit in the spare tyre as it was not his job. I was worried that I will miss the train at Allahabad. I stopped a truck and bribed its driver heavily to help us. I got injured while working. No passenger came forward. When the bus started, a typical leader in Gandhi cap, khadi clothes with a jacket gave lecture commending me and started collection to repay my money. I refused.
Reached Jabalpur (formerly Jubbulpore) in early morning. The bus came to the edge of the Vindhyan plateau. It was a memorable scene. The entire Gangetic valley could be seen. The history of Aryawarta flashed before mind's eye. Reached Allahabad at 2 P.M. Got acquainted with one G.L. Saraf, a young electrical engineer. He guided me to the railway station. Put luggage in the cloakroom. One young chap Goswami got acquainted. He took me for refreshments. I was amused to see the cook pouring milk from four feet height in another vessel in ding dong way bringing froth to sweet milk. Accidentally met Saraf again. All three went to see Jawaharlal Nehru's house, Anand Bhavan. Saraf took our photograph. He took us to his residence. Dined there. Went to railway station. I boarded in second class (of those days) of Assam Mail. Ticket was up to Mogul Sarai then got extended up to Baroni. News. Ichogil canal crossed and Indian army reached six miles from Lahore. Happy.
Got up at Baroni. Changed the train from broad to meter gauge. Military soldiers flooded the compartment. Chated with soldiers from Maharashtra, Mr. Kadam and others. The landscape was interesting and new to me. I reached Siliguri at 7 P.M. Just before Siliguri the East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) border is about eight miles away and so is the Nepal border at equal distance. It is a bottleneck of Assam. Saboteurs removed fish plates on the track. Some officer saved the mishap. At Siliguri while crossing the steel bridge of the platform saw a poor beggar boy about seven year old sleeping without shirt in the cold weather. I put my shawl on him. I was moved to see the Indian poverty. Felt like devoting my life for the improvement of the country. Took hot water shower and dinner and slept in the waiting room. News. Pakistan bombed an aerodrome near Calcutta probably Kharagpur.
Up in early morning. Had breakfast. I met Maharashtrian military men Mr. Pawar and Khade. Chated. Took first class ticket and came to New Jalpaiguri about six miles away. Changed train for Jalpaiguri, a district head quarter. Reached after two hours journey. New Jalpaiguri and Jalpaiguri are about thirty miles apart. Luckily, I got the bus for Falakata immediately. Reached after two and half hours a distance of forty-two miles. All bridges were two strips of wooden planks. Funny. Military was well equipped everywhere. At the motor stand Mr. Ratan Maheswhari recognized me from my photograph sent to the Ashram. He took me in a rickshaw to the Ashram about a mile away.

Foreword: Regional Australia—A Stronger Economy Delivering Stronger Regions 2018–19
With a third of Australians living, working and raising their families outside our capital cities, regional Australia is at the forefront of this Government's agenda. And with more people calling regional Australia home each year, it is clear that the growth of our nation will not all happen in the capital cities, but in our towns and regional cities.
Regional Australia has long been the engine room of the economy with around 30 per cent of our annual GDP generated by our regions. Rural and regional Australia is home to the highest quality food, fibre and resources in the world and these make up 61 per cent of the goods Australia sells on the global market. Most of our iconic tourist attractions are in regional Australia and 43 cents out of every dollar spent by a tourist in Australia goes to a regional business.
Australia is in its 27th year of economic growth, which has seen 415,000 jobs created in 2017. Around a third of these jobs were created in the regions. This is a great result, but we need to keep working with local communities to ensure they continue to thrive.
The Liberal and Nationals Government is delivering on our vision for regional Australia. We are continuing to grow our regional economies, creating new and better paying jobs and giving families the opportunity to keep living and working in our regional communities.
Your access to world-class healthcare, high-quality education, 21st Century communications and transport connections should not be limited by your geographic location. This Government is increasing our investment in rural and regional Australia to help level the playing field between the regions and cities.
The 2018‑19 Budget includes more than 500 initiatives, including over 100 new programs focused on creating jobs and supporting economic growth in Australia's regions.
With this Budget the Australian Government is continuing to back Australian business growth and investment across the nation. Reducing the tax burden on businesses will help them invest, grow, employ more Australians and pay higher wages. To further support small businesses and improve their cash flow, the Australian Government will extend the $20,000 instant asset write-off for a further 12 months to 30 June 2019.
For the first time, the Government has committed to a decade-long $75 billion Infrastructure Investment Pipeline for new and upgraded transport infrastructure projects, with the aim of increasing productivity, boosting local communities, connecting our regions and cities, and creating local jobs.
Of crucial significance is our investment in rail infrastructure, including the $9.3 billion in equity and grant funding for Inland Rail, which will connect our farmers and our regional businesses, through the ports in Melbourne to Brisbane, to the world. During its construction, which is scheduled to commence in mid-2018, this project will support around 16,000 jobs. Once operational, it will provide faster, more efficient and more reliable connections for our regions to get their products to market and take advantage of the tremendous opportunities offered throughout Asia and beyond.
Through the Pipeline, we are making major commitments to road projects. Key investments include: $3.3 billion to continue to improve safety, capacity and flood immunity on the Bruce Highway in Queensland and further improvements to the Pacific Highway, including $971 million towards the construction of a bypass of Coffs Harbour. The Coffs Harbour Bypass will increase amenity in this regional centre and enable safer and more efficient freight movements along the New South Wales north coast.
Our investment builds on existing commitments, including $160 million to continue upgrading the Outback Way, which crosses Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland and new projects to address regional freight constraints, including $155 million towards a new bridge across the Shoalhaven River at Nowra Bridge in New South Wales, and $160 million for the Joy Baluch Bridge in South Australia. Other Pipeline projects in regional Australia include $560 million to construct the Bunbury Outer Ring Road in Western Australia, $180 million for the Central Arnhem Road and $100 million for the Buntine Highway upgrades in the Northern Territory, and $132 million to complete the Princes Highway East duplication from Traralgon to Sale in Victoria.
The Pipeline also includes an investment in Roads of Strategic Importance (ROSI). Under the ROSI scheme, we will invest $3.5 billion to support upgrades to key road freight corridors in regional Australia.
ROSI will support a range of upgrades to important regional roads, including in Northern Australia, Tasmania and connections from regional New South Wales into the Australian Capital Territory. Investment in these routes will support our regional economies by better connecting farmers and regional businesses with new and existing domestic and international markets, while assisting our regional workforce to get to their jobs on time and home safely to spend time with their families. As these routes are also major tourist roads, upgrades will support the growing visitor economy in regional Australia.
The Government's investments in our regional communities build confidence, encourage private-sector investment and create jobs. That is why, in this Budget, the Australian Government has announced a further $200 million to deliver a third round of the Building Better Regions Fund, bringing the total commitment for this program to $641.6 million between 2017-18 and 2021-22. Recognising the importance of tourism infrastructure as a key driver of economic development, the Government will earmark up to $45 million for tourism-related infrastructure projects in our regions.
This increased investment in the Building Better Regions Fund is complemented by the ongoing roll-out of the $272.2 million Regional Growth Fund, which will unlock economic opportunities in our regions. An additional $22.5 million will also be provided to deliver a fourth round of the Stronger Communities Programme, which has been successfully delivering new equipment and improved facilities for local organisations in our regions.
Our Government is committed to a practical, planned decentralisation agenda supporting the growth of our regional areas and connecting government agencies with the communities and citizens that they serve. A significant number of Australian public sector jobs are already being located in regional areas and, as part of its Decentralisation Agenda, the Government is continuing to move positions from Canberra, central Sydney and Melbourne. The Government will continue to identify and announce options for further decentralisation throughout 2018-19. Government investment in decentralisation is just one part of the puzzle and we continue to provide the conditions that encourage private sector businesses to take advantage of the wonderful opportunities outside our capital cities by relocating to the regions.
The 2018-19 Budget is also focussed on building Australian agriculture as the sector aims to grow towards its aspirational goal of being a $100 billion industry by 2030. This Government has committed $51.3 million over four years to ensure Australia's continued growth and competitiveness in agriculture and food exports. These resources will help farmers and exporters seize opportunities in global food chains and build on our success in negotiating trade agreements with China, Japan and Korea, as well as the 11 nations that have signed-on to the Trans Pacific Partnership.
Access to secure water is critical to the productivity and sustainability of our primary industries and the communities which depend on them. Through the $580 million National Water Infrastructure Development Fund and the $2.0 billion National Water Infrastructure Loan Facility, the Government has committed $614 million to build new water infrastructure, including in loan funding, which will provide secure and affordable water. This investment has seen construction commence on the Macalister Irrigation District modernisation, South West Loddon Pipeline projects in Victoria and the Northern Adelaide Irrigation Scheme in South Australia. We look forward to seeing work start on the $394 million Myalup-Wellington project in Western Australia, the $352 million Rookwood Weir in Queensland and the $51 million Scottsdale Irrigation Scheme in Tasmania.
Reliable and affordable energy is of paramount importance across Australia, including in our regions. The Government is investing in nation-building infrastructure projects in the energy sector including Snowy 2.0 which will expand the original Snowy Mountains scheme with an additional 2,000 megawatts (MW) of capacity and 350,000MW hours of storage. It is expected to create up to 5,000 jobs and, by producing enough storage to power 500,000 homes for a week, it will assist in ensuring the affordability and stability of our electricity market.
Thriving modern economies depend on good communications infrastructure which is why the Government is continuing to roll out the National Broadband Network and fix mobile black spots across Australia. Through NBN Co, the Government will provide 2.5 million regional premises with fixed-line broadband, 600,000 premises with access to fixed wireless services and 400,000 premises with access to improved satellite services. In addition, the $220.0 million Mobile Black Spot Program is continuing to better connect regional communities and businesses by building 765 new base stations in places with poor or no coverage.
As well as investing in better infrastructure, the Government is working to improve services in regional Australia. A key theme in this year's Budget is the commitment to enhancing access to education and health services for people in regional and rural Australia.
The Stronger Rural Health Strategy will deliver the most comprehensive rural health package which will improve access to doctors, nurses and other health care services for all Australians, especially those in the regions.
As part of this strategy, the Government will establish a Murray-Darling Medical School Network to support end-to-end training in the regions and improve the distribution of the medical workforce. The Network will be comprised of six university medical schools in the regions to ensure more Australian-trained doctors will be able to train and practice in regional areas.
To further support the supply of doctors in rural and regional areas, the Government will provide $793.9 million over four years from 2018‑19 to the Rural Health and Multidisciplinary Training Program. The program funds a network of 18 rural clinical schools, 15 University Departments of Rural Health, six dental schools which support extended rural placements and 26 regional training hubs.
The Australian Government is providing $28 million to expand the availability of sub-bachelor (including enabling) places to allow greater access to higher education for rural and regional students. Around 500 additional Commonwealth-supported places will be provided to regional institutions from 2019. The Government will also provide $14 million for an additional 500 places for students at regional study hubs by 2022.
Further, the Government will provide an additional $123.5 million for additional Commonwealth supported places at the University of the Sunshine Coast, the University of Tasmania and Southern Cross University.
An additional 2,300 rural, regional and remote students will benefit thanks to easier access to Youth Allowance for tertiary education announced in the 2018-19 Budget. The Government is expanding the number of regional students eligible to be considered 'independent' under the regional workforce participation rules.
Under the Quality Schools reform package, the Government is implementing a new needs-based funding model. Commonwealth funding for students in regional and remote Australia will grow from $3.9 billion in 2017 to $6.8 billion in 2027—an increase of 75 per cent. Per student annual funding for regional, rural and remote students will grow by 4.9% over that period.
In order to ensure regional and rural students have access to better educational opportunities in the communities in which they live, the Government is providing funding to develop alternative employment-based pathways for high achieving graduates from a variety of fields to become teachers. This measure is aimed at increasing the number and distribution of quality teachers in Australia.
The Government is supporting communities and addressing inequalities in regional Australia by creating more job opportunities and ensuring better services are available. The 2018-19 Budget is investing $18.4 million in Regional Employment Trials to commence in ten selected regions on 1 October 2018. Under these trials, employment facilitators will work with local stakeholders to design and implement employment solutions specific to local problems. To assist with this task, $1 million in grant funding will be available in each region to support projects which help job seekers connect to and prepare for local employment opportunities.
We are also supporting employment opportunities for our regions through targeted programs such as the $10.3 million Stronger Transitions package. This intensive assistance package will support workers in industries and regions significantly impacted by structural change to help them transition to future jobs from 1 July 2018.
The Liberal and Nationals Government will deliver childcare reform by investing an additional $2.5 billion to provide more support for families around Australia. The centrepiece of the new package is the new Child Care Subsidy, which will commence from 2 July 2018. Support for rural and remote families is an important feature of these reforms.
In addition, our $1.2 billion Child Care Safety Net aims to give the most vulnerable children a strong start. An equivalent of the $61.8 million allocation under the Budget Based Funded (BBF) program is being set aside for transitioning BBF services, which predominantly operate in rural and remote communities.
Looking after our older Australians is a priority for this Government. We will invest around $40 million in capital grants over four years from 2019-20 for aged care facilities in regional, rural and remote Australia and to improve access for older people living in these locations. Funding will support critical upgrades and expanding existing aged care facilities. Eligible aged care providers will be able to apply for a one-off grant in late 2018‑19.
The Liberal and Nationals Government is committed to delivering the infrastructure and services regional Australians need. The depth and range of measures in the 2018‑19 Budget reflects this Government's commitment to support sustainable regional communities where our children and grandchildren want to live, learn and work. It demonstrates the Government's determination to maximise social and economic opportunities for all Australians, wherever they live. Our regional plan is focused on building and connecting local communities, boosting local economies and creating local jobs.

Comedy, On the Rocks
Comedian/actress Sasheer Zamata has a sketch in which she's walking down a New York City street when a male stranger comes up to her, asks to walk her home (she says no and keeps walking). He then pulls out his junk and says "Hey Miss, this is for you!" Hilarity ensues as Zamata tries to see the interaction from the exposed man's perspective, and even praises his polite directness.
"It was like a date with a lot of stuff missing out the middle," says Zamata. "It was short and sweet. Everyone was honest with their feelings. It was probably the best date I've ever had actually."
As hysterical as it is, the sketch addresses the more serious issue of society not openly talking about and taking proper action against sexual harassment. It's something Zamata discussed over the phone last week while answering questions about her upcoming Sacramento stand-up show, her dream-come-true career as a Saturday Night Live cast member and coming up with new material.
"Everyone probably has some sort of uncomfortable sexual, weird moment with a guy, which sucks," she says. "It's shitty to think it's just inevitable that something terrible like that will come across your path in life. I do like talking about that on and off stage so people know they're not the only one and it's not your fault, that it's more common than we think."
Zamata says she admired the Columbia University student who carried her mattress around campus after she was assaulted, forcing people to have that conversation.
"Even in my neighborhood now—I live in Brooklyn, and it's a safe part of Brooklyn—I have gotten followed walking home and my guy friends are like, 'No, how is that possible?' but it doesn't matter where you are, it's possible," she adds. "So if the conversation includes men more, maybe they can check each other on that like, 'Hey man, maybe don't be an asshole to this girl or don't push her too hard at the party.'"
Zamata says she talks about what's going on in the news with friends and coworkers when figuring out the best execution for serious topics.
"Some things are better as a sketch or a joke or a short film and I just write everything down and think about what I want to say, and sometimes I just get on stage and talk about it," she says. "Lately, because a lot of the news has been intense, it's more talk and not necessarily jokes, but I work out how I feel about the situation and people in the audience are with me, they get it."
It's not easy to address racial issues or tragedies, or conversations society has been avoiding, but Zamata says she sees it as a comedian's job to shine a light on these things in society, reflect on them and be a mirror.
"That's what I try to do and it's been getting a good response," she says.
If you're getting worried Zamata's shows on July 11, 2015, at the Comedy Spot are going to be Debbie Downers, they won't. The improv extraordinaire has been working on new material that most fans have not yet seen, unless they've caught her in late-night action around NYC.
The shows are part of her first major cross-country tour, Whiskey on the Rocks. And yes, that is her drink of choice for those of you who'll be attending or catching up with Zamata at a bar after the show.
The 29-year-old has had a whirlwind year-and-a-half after joining the cast of SNL, and has won over viewers with her on-point impressions of Michelle Obama, Rihanna and other prominent black women in society, who, for the last eight years, were mostly being played by SNL male cast members, if played at all.
"We have a lot of black people on the show who want to shake things up and want to talk about things that may be uncomfortable, but we want to talk about it so we try to put it into the most digestible package," Zamata says. "It's hard because we aren't like this new punk show just starting out; we are a show with a long tradition and have to appeal to our longtime fans."
Zamata is free to perform as she pleases in her own live shows, but has realized that since starting her new job, audience members sometimes expect to "see SNL" at her performances.
"Older people would be like, I was a fan since the 1970s and I was really hoping you would do Michelle Obama," she laughs.
Her love of performing started at a young age, and not in improv but in show choir (she notes that ever since the SNL team found out she could sing, she has had regular singing sketches on the show). It wasn't until middle school that a volleyball coach with a love for ComedySportz introduced Zamata to competitive short-form improv by taking the team to a show at the end of a season.
"The first time I went I thought, what is this magical thing, and I was so enamored," Zamata says. She forced her parents to take her to more of the shows and in high school, she joined an improv team for a week before realizing it conflicted with her show choir schedule.
"So I'd just watch Whose Line Is It Anyway all the time and was still an improv fan," she says.
After graduating from University of Virginia with a drama degree, Zamata moved to New York and joined the Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), whose ranks include hundreds of famous comedians and improv artists like Amy Poehler, Matt Besser and Ian Roberts.
"I started doing improv because I liked improv," Zamata says about her switch from choir and musical theater. "It was the same with sketch and stand-up. I barreled into it and figured I'd stop when it stopped being fun but it has never stopped being fun."
When Zamata joined UCB in 2009, she was the only black female. Since then, several more have joined the group and even more women are in leading roles in comedy than Zamata ever remembers.
"I think it's all about representation; seeing someone on stage or on screen who looks like you is a huge help," she says. "Donald Glover was performing here [at UCB] and even though I'm not a guy, he was someone I could relate to and that was a huge help for me. It helps to have a relation to someone that you're watching. If all you see is one kind of person, it may seem hard to get into it."
Zamata says she noticed during UCB's annual Del Close Marathon—a three-day improv event in NYC—that improv students of color were taking pictures of her and saying they couldn't wait to show their friends and families that people who look like them are doing this work too.
"I feel proud that I was able to be at UCB for so long and now there are more people who look like me there," she says, but adds that comedy, and especially improv with its expensive classes, can still be hard to reach for many young people because of socioeconomic issues or because they don't have the exposure in their schools or towns.
"But I think it is changing and the more exposure UCB and the form has to people the more diverse it'll become," she says. "This is a good time for women in comedy and I feel excited to be in the mix of it."
To get Sasheer Zamata that whiskey at Comedy Spot on July 11, go to Saccomedyspot.com/sasheer-zamata for tickets. She has two shows: 8 p.m. and 10 p.m. and tickets are only $20.

The clinical decision to either follow-up or resection from radiologic features for lung adenocarcinoma (atypical adenomatous hyperplasia [AAH], adenocarcinoma in situ [AIS], minimally invasive adenocarcinoma [MIA] and invasive adenocarcinoma [IA]) appearing as Sub-solid nodules (SSNs) is still challenge, and currently more relies on measures of diameter, solid component ratio. With the successful application of deep learning neuro-network (DLNN) for the classification of skin or common treatable blinding retinal diseases, we hypothesized that DLNN might help the histologic subtype classification of SSNs from CT images. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a deep neuro-network model to classify AAH, AIS, MIA and IA or define a feasible classification for follow-up or treatment decision.a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
A total of 869 patients with 1344 pathologic confirmed nodules (AAH: 75, AIS: 340, MIA:321, IA: 608) were enrolled into this study. Two 3D mixed-scale dense-connected convolutional neuro network models (3D MS-DenseNet) were developed for 2 classification tasks: 4-class (AAH, AIS, MIA, IA), 3-class (AAH, AIS/MIA, IA). Eighty percent of whole datasets were randomly selected for training set, while other 20% were used for testing set. The nodules were firstly selected using a bounding box in 3D Slicer, and then cropped into 128 x 128 x 128 matrix size as the input to MS-DenseNet, and the output layer from the network was a 4-node or 3-node softmax classifier. Confusion matrix were used for the performance evaluation of both models and the classification accuracy for each class were reported.4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
The classification accuracy of AAH, AIS, MIA, IA in testing set were 0.75, 0.45, 0.52, 0.85 respectively by 4-class, suggesting that the differentiation between AIS and MIA from CT images by neuro-network is challenge. While in the 3-class classification task with purpose of decision supporting for treatment, the classification accuracy of AAH, AIS/MIA, IA were 0.70, 0.73, 0.88 in the same testing set.8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
The DLNN showed potential capability in differentiating AAH, IA from other adenocarcinoma subtypes, while failed to differentiate AIS and MIA. When combing AIS and MIA for reclassify adenocarcinoma subtypes from the perspective of treatment, the DLNN achieved reasonable performance, suggesting that DLNN might be useful in supporting clinical treatment decision whether to follow-up or take different resection for SSNs.6f8b794f3246b0c1e1780bb4d4d5dc53
