Great video on lots of levels.

My local (alcohol in a) bottle shop next to a not so super market, has a nifty carboard clock which indicates the expected return time. Very thoughtful.

Also set up the Rural Reconstruction Commission. Produced many reports over a couple of years until 1946. Lucky to have 8th report in late 1945 about Irrigation. Most of the insights ignored over the next 80 years, particularly in respect of irrigation from the Murray River in SA.
