Its probably "fuck off we're full" in an attempt to self select for government agencies.
You got a lot of open space in the middle of your country. How about visas abound, but you have to go live in the NT.

I completely believe that she said that. It is mostly believable that there is a fifth level. It is likely that they haven't received a correct solution at the time of the announcement yet. Which part are you doubting?
I doubted the fact that there really was a fifth level. It seems like exactly what someone would make up on the spot in an embarrasing situation like this.

> There's a challenge out there to see who can correctly break all the layers, and, would you believe it, yesterday the coin was launched at 8:45am; we put up our web form and said, 'Hey, if you think you've got the answers, fill in the form'," she said. It’s just a game for them to popularize code breaking and do some youth recruiting.
They spent a lot of taxed money on the stunt. To have it solved the same day means almost everybody they might have engaged with it has already lost interest.
Your attitude is equivalent to complaining about a newspaper sudoku being solved by someone early in the day, because “now no one wants to solve it and the paper wasted all that money making it”.

What? Its not some impossible hard code, its just a fin little exercise to get attention. It wasn’t intended to be unbreakable or take more than an hour to figure out by people interested in cryptography, the news is just that a particular 14y old was enthusiastic and also ready at the mark to speed run it.

They clearly hoped it would take at least weeks for a full solution, so they could have multiple press events. Or if not, they should have; incompetent either way.

Weird, that's about the same amount of time it's been since they steamrolled all of their guns in the street.
They did no such thing. Australians own more guns than ever. They had a buyback program, and people used it to turn old guns into new ones.
You folks aren't actually going to make me dig up and link video of the guns being steamrolled, are you?

In the next 100yrs the north polar ice will melt enough that China can go around the top to it's trading partners. The strait of Malacca next to Malaysia will stop being as critically important as it is now to China's oil imports. It's likely the SEA region will cool off, the action will move up north and all those subs we bought will go from AUKUS to AWKWARD. Aus just needs to cut costs and forward into quality (koa…
If the sea level rises by the projected 1.3m by 2100, what routes exactly would open up? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strait_of_Malacca#/media/File:...

Skim this video, it shows slowly and clearly the potential change of routes.

So go ahead and post the video. Then read the rest of the story.

I know it's kind of rude just to leave you with a link, sorry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISHHe1Hu6d4 Skim this video, it shows slowly and clearly the potential change of routes.
The northern sea route is not given the same scrutiny as the strait in that video though. Clearly if western allies were blockading China's sea trade at choke points, the sea route has some fairly obvious problems.
It's the defensible inland routes which will be the most important. To that end, the push to expand NATO into Ukraine almost could not have gone better for China if they had orchestrated it.

You really cannot perceive the difference between a few square inches on a newspaper page and a custom-minted coin? They clearly hoped it would take at least weeks for a full solution, so they could have multiple press events. Or if not, they should have; incompetent either way.
Custom minted coins is not that uncommon in Australia. There's been over 100 of them.
