That source doesn’t have a link to their paper that works.

Yeah, link rot.
I did some googling for you: https://www.ceem.unsw.edu.au/sites/default/files/documents/Low%20Emission%20Fossil%20Scenarios.pdf

But as far as I know we can’t build anywhere near enough hydro in Australia.

https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Parliamentary_Departments/Parliamentary_Library/pubs/rp/rp2021/AustralianElectricityOptionsPumpedHydro

A study at the Australian National University (ANU) identified about 3,000 low-cost potential sites around Australia with head typically better than 300 metres and storage larger than one gigalitre (see Figure 3). The sites identified have a combined energy storage potential of around 163,000 GWh. To put this into perspective, a transition to a 100% renewable electricity system would need 450 GWh of PHES storage. The potential pumped hydro energy storage resource is almost 300 times more than required. Developers can afford to be very selective since only about 20 sites (the best 0.1% of sites) would be required to support 100% renewable electricity generation.

Emphasis mine.

Let me paraphrase the LNP here:
"Private companies have researched Nuclear and decided it's not cost effective."
"Financial institutions have investigated Nuclear and decided they WILL NOT INVEST."
"But our financial backers at the Mineral Council and the private companies dragging the last of the profit out of their end of life coal power stations are insisting that we continue with our current market AS LONG AS POSSIBLE, so we've decided to announce an extremely long term plan, to scare private investment out of renewables short term."
"Don't worry, between NIMBYs in the target areas, laws surrounding nuclear energy, lack of local expertise and the general unsuitability of Nuclear for our widely dispersed yet small population, we won't actually build more than one of these things."
"Jokes on them, we were only pretending to be retarded."

For instance, personal favourite The Prancing Pony has a special menu on: https://prancingponybrewery.com.au/event/winter-solstice-celebration/

However, NOLA in the city is repeating last years "Festival of Darkness" https://www.nolaadelaide.com/events/festival-of-darkness-2/ which seems like a good idea (especially as it's in the city, so if it turns out to be not so good, I'm surrounded by options).

Late to post, but it is happening in SA.

A parody mimics an original work directly.

This is One Nation abusing the copyright exception of "Parody or Satire" to deliberately to stir up controversy for their own gain.

He might not have a legal case, but using a famous persons likeness without their permission is dirty.

Yeah, there's a deck over a pond, some nice grass.
I was inside, it was cold ;-)

Step one of five, but fingers crossed.

And thank you for modding.
I didn't want to call you out by name.
You've already noticed that I've transferred here as my official instance.

"Be the change you want to see in the world".
Then a moderator was unhappy with my posts, so I stopped.

My gut suggests it's a font issue, like librewolf is using a system font and firefox is using embedded or downloaded fonts.

backing that up with a search, I see there's lots of people complaining of font rendering issues of various types in the librewolf subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/LibreWolf/search/?q=font

I don't know what your fix is, but I hope this helps guide you.

.1 was hotfixes to do with the major release.
Everything since then appears to just be shipping features as soon as they are proven stable.
