If social media were BBQ Shapes, you know sort of moorish and not exactly healthy that would be one thing but it's just a cavalcade of crap.

I'll give you a piece prize if you like.

I can't wait for the Hanson Joyce diumverate. It will be a political movement laser focused on grafting, focus pulling and sheer incompetence.

He'd like to be a war criminal. He's just waiting for the opportunity.

I'm afraid that Albo has made the calculation that he can hoover up disaffected moderate liberal voters by moving to the right. Labor is about winning elections not carrying through progressive policies.

The state parties are also terminal in every jurisdiction but the NT and Queensland. The broad church Liberal party is finished. The party leadership has jettisoned the salaried professional class. It actively antagonizes Chinese and Indian Australians.

Yep that's my experience with our new BYD. I've had mid level Japanese or Australian cars my whole driving life and I can say without a doubt that my current BYD is the best car I have ever owned.

There seems to be anomalies. As far as I can work out there are no fast chargers within a kilometre of the Melbourne CBD.

You're not even literal. I wrote "they" when referring to the right in Australia.
