You were spot on with this one.
It was a funny pun this morning, but I suspect that Guardians of Australia badge would lead me down a very right wing conspiracy rabbit hole if I chose to look closer.

EDIT: Now the Hume Freewayâs been cut! Must be an effect of the earthquake!

Nick McCallum is a great reporter.
He spoke to an expert who said it would have been worse had the centre been closer to the city.
And also warned thereâs plenty of more after shocks to come for up to six months.

Do I hear right, if it went 7.0 it would 50-100X worse, which would result in 1 metre openings?
Yes (if by worse you are measuring it by amplitude/sideways motion).
âBecause of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.â
