Despatch Australian Made World's Largest Battery Ship to Türkiye as Climate Talks Venue
This is to suggest the Australian Government borrow Hull 096 from Tasmanian shipbuilder Incat and send it to Türkiye as a venue for climate change negotiations. The world’s largest battery powered ship, which can carry 2,100 passengers is being completed for service in South America. The vessel could be temporarily renamed "Australia". This would send a message to the world that Australia is serious about renewable energy. There is a precedent for the use of an Incat high speed ferry as a venus at an international event. During the Sydney Olympics, Austrade organised Business Club Australia, aboard an Incat ferry at Sydney's Darling Harbour. I was a guest onboard and spoke to Robert Clifford AO, Chairman of Incat on the bridge.

Voices of Singapore
Up to now I have not been impressed with Google AI. It seemed to just paraphrase the top search hit. But this afternoon wanting something to go to in Singapore I was frustrated by a lack of useful web hits so asked AI. This had several interesting results the first of which was an Autumn Concert for Lovely Moon at Voices of Singapore. This was an eclectic mix on European, Chinese and Japanese music. It is the only concert I have been to where the audience were invited to join in and have a group photo at the end.
