Stop forcing this shit on us.

Google AI, just making shit up: "The largest town in Victoria without a rail line is Ballarat, which is also the largest regional city in the state, according to some sources. Other cities on the list of largest regional cities include Bendigo and Geelong".

What’s the best way to thwart mad spirits from the Other World who you just know may come looking for you?
Dress up as them.

The apartment below mine had the only balcony of the house. I saw a girl standing on it, completely submerged in the pool of autumn twilight. She wasn't doing a thing that I could see, except standing there leaning on the balcony railing, holding the universe together.

The ALP didn't bother negotiating with the Libs when it changed IR laws, but now apparently it needs LNP support for environmental protection changes.

When govts want to do something, they do it.
When they don't, they use bipartisanship as the excuse.

No one here should fall for it
