Nice to see my story on the latest clamping figures appear in a few publications today. Less nice is seeing the story replicated by @rte and @JOEdotie without any attribution (let alone payment) Freelancing ain't easy folks - don't make it more difficult

Thousands of kids have no school bus spot as Govt says it can't afford it. If we taxed Facebook for data they mine from kids on Insta, we could do it. FB has a 20yr lease here, they won't leave if we tax them a tiny bit! The steam off their $44bn cash pile would do @TodaySOR
