How about voters decide when their term ends... give us a way to trigger an early election.
I'm sure they want infinity length terms, they can't have it.

Hard disagree on that.
Your logic is so twisted I suspect your attempting to sabotage COP30 and action on climate change.

I really wish some would tell politicians to attack the business model rather than users. eg right to be forgotten, users primary ownership rights over their personal data etc.
To be a politician you need to be dumb with tech, opposite brain type.

Google has plans for two cables from aus mainland, only other cable to CI is Vocus, which goes to Singapore.
All i can think is they must be planing a military signal gathering hub to support subs, even if cables cut.
Maybe related to Deigo Darcia sovereignty issues ?

Wondered why they are building a cable to there (two actually, another to Darwin.
From a network pov, it's half way to Singapore which is arguably the second most important regional hub.
