Hey @abcnews if lockdowns cause “increased susceptibility to infection” How come we’ve never seen Astronauts returning from year long stints on the ISS with this problem? Or in those who spend a year in our Antarctic bases? Hint: because it’s total BULLSHIT

Labor's federal budget fails on climate action. They're still supporting disastrous fossil fuel projects like Middle Arm gas hub! I just signed a petition to stop it, will you join me?
