Don't really see why.
They've obviously done the calculations for weight and balance, and figured the extra drag -hence an extra refuelling stop in Perth as it would use more fuel due to the drag. I honestly don't think Qantas pilots would carry it in that way if it wasn't carefully planned and perfectly safe

A Dad has walked out on his wife and seven children to live as a six-year-old girl. A DAD has walked out on his wife and seven kids to live as a six-year-old girl.Canadian Stefonknee Wolscht, 52, who used to be known as Paul, says she was not only born the wrong gender but also wants to be a child.Wolscht says: “I can’t deny I was married. I can’t deny I have children.“But I’ve moved forward now and I’ve gone back to being a child.“I don’t want to be an adult right now.”Stefonknee now lives with a couple who have taken her on as adoptive parents - and their own children.She says: “Well, I have a mummy and a daddy.“An adopted mummy and daddy who are totally comfortable with me being a little girl.“And their children, and their grandchildren, are totally supportive.” ================================== I'm pretty unshockable, with some unusual situations in my life and being transgender doesn't bother me, but wanting to be six years old? 
happy new year everyone

Mitchell Pearce dog video: Sydney Roosters captain filmed simulating lewd act, NRL future in doubt
WHY?
No, not why is this prat doing something with a dog, I guess he is retarded in some way.
No, not why is he being disciplined for it, as someone kids look up to he deserves to be chucked off the team/banned/whatever.
But - WHY has the ABC put a distinctly dubious photo of him on their website alongside the story, and the video itself on the main article - with subtitles? I thought the CourierMail sank pretty low at times, but come on ABC, raise your stndards, please!
