Lovely. This was my view on Wednesday

I have a few that manage to survive brutal Adelaide summers in shady spots, though they do need a bit of morning sun to flower. I hope you can save some flowers this year.

What a relief for you! The number of times I drove to my (now departed) Mum's house in a panick when not answering her phone, only to find she hadn't hung up properly.

Censured? Is that it? Should be sacked.

I'm ok with not having a popularly elected PM. The massive amounts of cash spent on popularly elected presidential campaigns in the US ensures that only elites get to run. Our system isn't perfect, but it's pretty good.

In Australia we don't need a snap election. We don't vote for a Prime Minister, so the elected members of the winning party choose their leader and can replace them at any time. We got a bit over enthusiastic with replacing leaders a while ago, but it's still a good safeguard to have.

Oh, wow. This needs to be shared far and wide. If Tim Wilson is keeping/accessing type of data, who else is doing so and using it to shape responses or action/inaction to legitimate constituent issues, irrespective of the political leaning. #auspol

Procrastination

I don't buy that Thompson was trying to flush out the ex's supporters. The messaging in his public statement would encourage other men who believe they've been "pushed too far". As for the deputy commissioner, I doubt he would have said that if his boss were a man.

Good article. Amy ends the piece with a warning for Labor - beware the echo chamber.

At least Ruston is admitting that they didn't even bother

How annoying. After my mum passed away, i had to clear out her room in the nursing home within a couple of days. I gave it all away, and made it clear that there was a death in the family and i was in no mood to be mucked about. They still tried.

I'd like to blast that "Is this still available" button into the sun. I refuse to respond to it now, and say so in the post. Also the people that say they are coming to view the item and never show.

Like, "Will you deliver?" even for a free item when you have specified they will need a truck or trailer.

Good luck. They won't listen, but letting off steam is good sometimes.
