How This Pair Actually Operates
Brisbane and Melbourne share the same clock, so the main challenge is team priority alignment rather than timezone math.
Keep recurring meetings inside each side's real focus blocks and use timezone parity to speed up same-day decisions.
This pair can usually decide live on the same day. Protect the strongest focus band instead of scattering short meetings across the calendar.
A fixed recurring slot is sustainable for this pair if it stays inside the shared focus block.

Async still matters for prep and follow-up, but the live window is good enough that decisions can usually happen inside the same cycle.
Melbourne is off today, so the handoff is more likely to move after the current break.
Melbourne is currently in weekend mode, so the next business opening is the safest assumption.
