Yes OSW, if you sit down the road at night observing 'The Lodge' through night vision googles you'll burn out the image intensifier unit with the amount of lights they leave on. I'd hate to be paying the power bill there ! If you use thermal imaging from any of the balconies in units overlooking Mal & Lucy's, the pictures are much better. It is said that if the world could ever manage to convert the electrical needs of just lights alone to "renewable sources" we could cut our consumption by one third globally. Perhaps Herr Fuhrer could show the way and make a statement by doing this ?

At the time it was signed, immigration minister Scott Morrison announced that Australia would provide Cambodia with $40 million over four years “to support various overseas aid development projects”, in addition to the approximately $79 million that it was providing in aid to Cambodia.
In October 2015, Michael Pezzullo, the Secretary of the Department of Immigration and Border Protection clarified that Australia was providing $40 million “in development assistance – not directly related to the resettlement per se”, as well as $15 million for the overall resettlement program that would be “pay on performance”.
The agreement does not mention these specific dollar amounts, or the division between development assistance and resettlement funding. Instead it lists specific costs that Australia has agreed to cover (which constitute the majority of the costs associated with relocation and settlement), including:
• the costs of travel of Cambodian officials to Nauru to provide information to refugees who may be relocated;
• the costs of travel of refugees to Cambodia;
• the costs associated with the temporary accommodation of refugees upon arrival in Cambodia, including the costs of transporting refugees from the airport, the temporary accommodation itself, daily meals, clothes, health services, translation services, security services and meeting the other basic needs of refugees in temporary accommodation;
