Great day on the reef and all that, but just contemplating a final swim in the Daintree River before returning to camp, check out this "Daintree River Snorkelling" I've heard so much about.

I just cancelled my trip to Canada because the AFP couldn’t do a national police check - still waiting after 13 days - to reveal I have zero record. Last time I went (2019) it took 2 days. Now it’s 6-8 weeks. Canada wouldn’t approve my visa without it. Thousands $ gone. Fucking useless

One of the saddest lessons of history is this:
If we've been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle.
We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth.
The bamboozle has captured
us.

Over the last four years, multinational gas companies made $170 billion exporting gas they got for free.
It's a fantastic deal for Big Gas, and a terrible deal for Australians.

Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has confirmed what Australia Institute research has long shown – there is no gas supply shortage in Australia.
A reminder:
- Australia collects more revenue from HECS than the PRRT
- Nurses pay more tax than oil and gas companies
- Big gas is taking the piss

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
