Maybe the drop bears killed them?

For my American followers.. the Liberal party in Australia is far from Liberal . It is a conservative party more in line with the Republicans . It forms a Coalition with the National party . The National party runs the show in 2025 . Largely deny climate change , anti immigration and stuck in 1950

If I want to buy Aussie, I check for the thing that tells me where it was made - not the colour of the pack. Woolies saying dairy production is down... Like they're not responsible because they've been underpaying for dairy for decades, causing it to be an unsustainable industry 🙄 Fuck em, and Coles

There once was a man who said "scone"
So that it rhymed with "gone",
But his wife said "scone"
To rhyme with "tone";
That marriage is over, it's done.
