No, it's a dual state effort - Greg acquiring the RH and being forced to sell the AP140 which Rick purchases.
So, the resulting airstream caused a northward variation to the normal flow, which has sucked the clear skies to QLD and deposited a thick layer of muck over southern Australia, mainly as a taunt to Greg
Meanwhile, Rick has not even used his AP140, so the second he does, the clouds will migrate north again.
ANYWAY, Simon, a BRILLIANT effort!
