Australia today is a library day.
Your local library are one of the few free to visit public places that have air-conditioning, so grab the kids and head there!
And today is the perfect time to meet them and see if they would like to come with you.

If you're a progressive politician in charge of the government and you lose to bad guys, it's your fault. Maybe some others too but 100% If you had power to change laws, funding and help people, and you didn't do enough of it for people to vote for you, it's your fault.
