Half a trillion dollar energy policy announced with a 20 minute presser and a one page press release. I've seen Nigerian email scams with more detail.

Christmas is cancelled. My nephew is a close contact so that's that for tomorrow's lunch for 30 at the in laws. In that BYO plate style at most Xmas lunches, my household of four now has bread for 30, dessert for 20, meat for 4 and veg for one. It's a Christmas miracle!.

You extracted a tragic 5 yr old story from the UK, deceptively changed it to place it in an Aus context, swapping £ for $ then politicised it based on your view of an Aus gov's failings elected less than 2 yrs ago for social media clout. Hang your head, you fucking ghoul.

Started feeding mince to one kookaburra during the bushfires. S/he was in poor nick. As the days went by 2 more turned up. Now 6 who turn up every arvo for a feed. Currawongs turned up a few weeks ago. Feeding time looks like Hitchcock's The Birds. Using a kg of mince a week.

Greetings from East Timor. Please speak clearly into the pot plant.

The really amusing thing is this is a mirror of Australia's response to the Spanish flu pandemic. The Feds shirked any responsibility and the states tore each other apart. What have Aus govts learned in 100 years? Sweet FA.

Unprecedented bushfires? I don't think so. Try Nov 1926, Nov 1953, Nov 1956. Takes 5 minutes to find on National Library of Australia digitised newspapers database. Check out 25 Nov 1956:

Jack the Ripper didn't murder five women in 1888 because murder was illegal after the Murder Act of 1751. They must have fallen over or something.
