Labors argument is they cannot effect change from opposition, so the plan is to get elected and change nothing from government. Whatever it takes...

I recently introduced my (heavy metal) guitar playing boy to Tommy Emmanuel. Rewatching him play blows me away all over again.

Total respect for a lovely bloke that's also probably the best breathing acoustic guitarist

Sad thing is, there really is plenty of mismanagement, but not in the way these clowns articulate. The NACC, the FOI changes (to shut down any chance of the public learning any detail on AUKUS), brown-nosing levels of support for the US and Israel. Etc etc #auspol

But this govt is so much worse than simply doing nothing, imo they have gone beyond complicity, Albo has reached for the stars & attained active support for Israel & their wilful, assorted crimery that will come back to bite us all.

Being ill doesn't help but you may need to get your hands dirty, there looks like a bit of work in fixing/repainting etc.
Head to hammerbarn for a paint scraper, some sponges & things and a big bottle of bleach or home brand vinegar. You won't need to repaint to remove that mold.
Good luck

While explaining there is nothing to see here, that we only send F35 cup holders, windscreen wiper blades, iPhone charge ports & other non lethal parts (big eye rolls) while justifying Australia's complicity & support for war criminals.
This govt is leading us down a dark path

Penny may even raise an eyebrow, whilst looking most concerned.

Thanks for the update.
Will be *really* interested to see the wording that gets through.
Proposed: those convicted of murder
Reality: these laws will be used to summarily execute (murder) the many thousands of Palestinian men, women & children currently held without charge.

Yeah the back-story of the gee gees and dishlickers is full of animal abuse and sadness. The gees running today are the 1 in 1000 that "made it". Sooo many of those that don't make it are abused and/or end up as pet food.
Outcomes for those dogs is nothing to be proud of either. Built on abuse.
