What'll that do to your trip to work

Well listening to the traffic reports daily, accidents on the monash, tunnel blocked by a truck, police incident, I've never heard a traffic report during day/evening that wasnt ****ed up... could add 10 mins or infinity hours.
Oh then theres 150 odd people on site and 40 parking spots... no fuks given by management who have one of the 40.
You spend 60 million building a new facility and give 0 thought to staff.

Up there for thinkin'......

Reading this yesterday

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-29/wa-struggles-to-implement-pledge-to-track-repeat-dv-offenders/105223886

The main argument about not attaching tracking beacons to crims on parole is that they're in "an area beyond GPS reception, in a remote or regional area where it does not work"?

It would appear that the WA Premier has stuffed up ( ) & he actually meant to say that the do-bads are in an area where there's no 4G signal, so the trackers can't report back to base!

But it made me wonder

Has anybody ever found a spot in Oz (apart from the various CBDs, deep canyons, tunnels, very dense jungle, or underwater!), where GPS won't work

I know that it's a thing in the US, where they block GPS around military bases, because I know 2 separate  people who have gotten lost that way & actually drove up to the main gates of said Bases!

I have when travelling in some south west areas of QLD but don't know if that was because I was following via a phone.

Mr Komandono told first responders, “The road suddenly became dark and there were no other cars. Then I realised there was a problem when the car started falling and crashed on the ground.
