Our leaders are spineless. They fail us. Not good enough.
"We urge all parties to support dialogue and diplomacy"? What kind of nonsense statement is this? The US just bombed them with no cause, kidnapped their president and his wife, and declared that they would be running the country in order to secure its oil for themselves.

Summer at Snug Haus and we're busy with lots of visitors at the bnb ❤️. And people are happy to relax at this peaceful spot and watch the wildlife at night. Quolls! Always pademelons. Wallabies. Sometimes a bandicoot. There's a red light torch so the wildlife isn't spooked.

The ALP need to realise they will be criticised whatever they do, so how about do things that are good? And do things to please those who voted for you not those who never will.
The AFR run a 2 year campaign to get the ALP to weaken the changes to super tax concessions to make it easier to avoid paying the tax.

The ALP does it.

The AFR criticises the ALP for weakening the policy because people can avoid paying the tax.

Moro's carrot soup. Great recipe to keep handy for any gastro type illness, really helped family members recently. Basically cook half a kg of chopped carrots in plenty of water for at least 1.5 hours, puree, add water to make a total of 1 litre and add one teaspoon salt.
