Measurement error ?

IMHO highly unlikely, albeit remotely possible.
A more palatable explanation would be (a) plant Shutdown, (b) valves have been fixed.

PS Edit: After reading the latest link, it appears to be (a)+(b). As the radiation source was mainly steam, the wind would have quickly dispersed it. Currently, the live chart displays levels in the range 12-17, which looks far better than the readings in central and western areas.
 
Seems like it was nothing too major, just a minor leak from a nuclear plant.

Still not good though. Things like that never are although at least it seems to be just a minor issue not a disaster.

Trump will fix this. His decision to put the guy who wants to close the EPA in charge of it means he can close down the testing facilities thereby ensuring that no one will be thrown into panic when future leaks occur.

I'd say we're pretty close then, agree 99% with the above

I forgot to mention that I believe in human induced climate change, so I guess that's spoiled the party. :)

I don't see why this has to be a Left/Right issue. The evidence is pretty clear to anyone who makes an unbiased assessment of it.

Well Horace, I also believe that changes in climate of late have some anthropomorphic causation and have stated so on many occasions. I believe I am just more objective about it and refuse to buy into politically sponsored alarmism.

If you are talking about Tim Flannery saying things like "the dams will never fill again", then I agree with you, however the dividing line between truth and alarmism seems a bit blurred.

Was Tim a politician? I wondered why John Howard pinned an Oz of the Year gong on him, he's obviously an undeserving closet Liberal crony !!

I must say I feel like the cat that got the cream when I see posts from both sides of the argument implying hysteria belongs to the other camp, when both are guilty of indignation because of the ignorant impudence of the other.

Blind Freddy could see things are changing, even when the denialists (now the precedentalists) said nothing was happening and they stuck to that wrong right upto the untenable. So it's hard to take anyone seriously who just insists on polar denial or armageddon out of a bloody mindedness ... like some TROLLS who always harp about political evil being owned by the working class.;)
 
This kangaroo is a misogynist!

17 Jan 2017 - A Melbourne fitness trainer who was injured when she was attacked by a kangaroo while on a run in the city's north-east says she feared for her life during the encounter.
Debbie Urquhart was running near long grass in Templestowe at 6:00am on Saturday when she said a kangaroo came out of nowhere.
"All of a sudden … a massive kangaroo came out at me and he knocked me over, knocked me down and took the wind out of me," she said. "I was rolling over and protecting myself and he got my arm and my neck...

You've got your avatar right SirR. A 'Chateau Thames Embankment' toast!

Kangaroos should not wantonly attack our bullbars on desert roads, I would suspect that Tisme was provoked.
 
Agreed. Credit where credit's due in the finances. AFAIK, NSW is the only state in the country with zero debt. While this can be attributed to large stamp duty and GST revenue it's the controlled spending that allowed such large surpluses to happen.. something for other Govts to aspire to ;)

Plus selling off the 'poles and wires'. I'm not sure that's a great idea.
 
I actually voted against that. Events in SA last year reinforced that view. Cheap power towers folding down in 100k winds was a disaster.
 
Bega Cheese has acquired Vegemite in a $460 million deal announced this morning.
