Organiser Barry Hughes says one resolution is to make good with Indonesia after the live export suspension.

Weatherzone, By: ABC, 05/07/2013

WA bracing for wild few days
Weatherzone, By: Press Release, 05/07/2013
Western Australia is bracing for a wild few days of intense wind, rain, thunderstorms and waves with potential for significant damage, according to weatherzone.com.au. From Tuesday night to Friday the wind, rain and storms will be far reaching across the west and south of the state but focused on the southwest, particularly the area from Perth to Albany.
"Wind will be strong enough to damage buildings and bring down trees and power lines. Storms will be intense enough to enhance the wind and rain and lead to flash flooding. And waves will be large enough to erode beaches. There is potential for wind gusts to reach 120km/h, rainfall to amount to 60-to-120mm and wave heights to exceed five metres," Weatherzone meteorologist Brett Dutschke said. There is still time to do some tidying up around the yard and clean the gutters before the peak of the weather hits on Wednesday.

The dairy industry is estimated to have lost $1.4 billion ($NZ1.7 billion) because of the cost of feeding and reduced milk supply. Conor English, chief executive of the Federated Farmers of New Zealand, says dairy production will continue to be at a reduced level.

WALGA backs push for properly rated cyclone shelters
Weatherzone, By: ABC, 05/06/2013
The WA Local Government Association (WALGA) has endorsed a proposal for the Building Code of Australia to include minimum standards for cyclone shelters. Pilbara councils requested the association support the move at WALGA's state council meeting in Karratha on Friday.
The Shire of Roebourne says there are currently no specific standards for cyclone shelters in the community or for private shelters, such as those on mine sites. Pilbara Regional Council chairwoman and WALGA deputy state president, Lynne Craigie, says a request will now be lodged with the building codes board.

Weatherzone, By Chrissy Arthur and Amy McCosker, 05/06/2013

AgForce general president Ian Burnett says assistance needs to be more than just helping producers prepare for drought.

NFF says big drought questions remain unanswered
Weatherzone, By: Anna Vidot, 05/06/2013
The national farm lobby says Australia's drought reform agreement is a good step forward, but leaves the biggest policy questions unresolved. State, territory and federal agriculture ministers met on Friday and signed off on the National Drought Program reform, that solidified their support for five principles first outlined last October.
Those include a commitment to drought preparedness over crisis management, tax reform through the Farm Management Deposit scheme, household support payments and better social service and training provisions. But the National Farmers Federation's Brent Finlay says the crucial details about all of that, as well as what support will be available to farmers in a drought, still isn't there.

NW Coastal Washington hotter than Death Valley on Sunday May 5th
Wunderground.com-5/16/13, Christopher Burt
Map of U.S. and location of Quillayute (also known as La Push). The Airport servicing La Push is called the Quillayute Airport and where the weather observations are made. The village is set on a small peninsula that juts out into the frigid Pacific Ocean where the SST would be around 48° this time of year. One can imagine how unusual it is for this site to be one of the hottest in the country on any given day. Photo from AirPhotoNA.com
One of the hottest places in the country yesterday (May 5th) was Quillayute (La Push), Washington located near the northwestern tip of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington where a record 88° was reported. This smashed their previous daily record by 15° (73° in 1994) and made it warmer than even Death Valley, California where it was 87° on Sunday.
