True, but possibly not that flat. I mean, really flat. Out Campbelltown way it is quite hilly.

Not too many politicians are as well placed to speak on this as Dr Mike Freelander MP. Who also happens to be a national treasure.

WGA Statement on ABC’s Decision to Pull Jimmy Kimmel Live!
The right to speak our minds and to disagree with each other - to disturb, even - is at the very heart of what it means to be a free people. It is not to be denied. Not by violence, not by the abuse of governmental power, nor by acts of corporate cowardice. As a Guild, we stand united in opposition to anyone who uses their power and influence to silence the voices of writers, or anyone who speaks in dissent. If free speech applied only to ideas we like, we needn't have bothered to write it into the Constitution. What we have signed on to - painful as it may be at times - is the freeing agreement to disagree. Shame on those in government who forget this founding truth. As for our employers, our words have made you rich. Silencing us impoverishes the whole world. The WA stands with Jimmy Kimmel and his writers.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Pencil towers are unsustainable because their floorplate is so inefficient. About 60% will be lifts, stairs, ducts, circulation and structure. The embodied energy per sq m of usable space is huge. A stupid idea that highlights the idiocy of tall buildings. www.smh.com.au/national/nsw...

**Ridiculous headline. The pandemic never ended — we’re still very much in an ongoing pandemic**

Ireland: "With covid cases rising, is pandemic on the way back?"

"The continued high numbers could be linked to people returning to school and workplaces after the long summer break."
