He’s really not very au fait with contemporary Australia, or anywhere else for that matter

Not your best work, imo

It’s exactly why that hole was put there

If the Libs really want to prosper as a party of relevance to contemporary challenges, they must recognise that energy and climate policies form the main current of the political Rubicon and then cross that river, leaving the Nats stranded on the right bank. For our sake, if not for their own

The workers HAVE been very buzzy

PS. I'm just pretending to care

Indeed!

Greed in relation to even a small acreage is still greed and no less obnoxious.

Sir P, you seem to have recovered from the horrendous in-real-time-movie that kept you up - I use the term advisedly - until well after midnight
