Heatwave is no joke...

You'd be surprised. A little window rattler AC could be powered by such a setup - ie I have a 1.6kw cooling A/C with an input rating of 490W, I've measured it to be around that. That will cool a bedroom somewhat. The issue will be the surge power when the compressor kicks in, so maybe add 50%.

How is it that we still cannot combine wifi networks to increase bandwidth, is there someone working on that?

SD-WAN includes that but it is not its sole purpose, although I agree most vendors will say that's what you want. WAN/Link Aggregation, Multilink Aggregation, Link Load Balancing, Equal Cost Multipath, WAN Virtualisation, etc are ways to bundle multiple links together.

In WIFI terms, it's called channel bonding, it was proprietary and various vendors had their own implementations, see "Super G".

One third of Queensland public servants have witnessed corruption and over half didn’t report it, watchdog finds

As a backdrop, Australia is among the top 10 least corrupt countries in the world.

The QLD Crime and Corruption Commission website has many examples of the kind of corruption they find. It's mostly to do with procurement and employment fraud, conflicts of interest, occasional dodgy police and major crime ie organised crime.

It is true the CCC is grossly under resourced and in need of reform, however as with many anti-corruption bodies, they become politicised and in this case the state government (either persuasion) is dragging the chain.
