Just because your blue eyes match the decor does NOT mean you are allowed up there mister 🀭

Superb suggestions by so many.
My 25 cents:
(eg Dutto's recent ref to Whitlam's era as a pejorative). Expand who/what Whitlam did re currency of his policies still in existance. Connect the then with the now. Myth busting the big 2, focus on minor & indies people & policy

I would like to wallop all of my fellow Qlders repeatedly who voted for this salt & flavour reduced Newman horror story with a rolled up Courier Fail.
Serving up a slice of "I told you so" is no consolation when you have to live 4 years under this predictable horror show πŸ™„πŸ˜–

She buys her social licence through carefully curated donations - usually around sport. Her ROI is the Sky spews/ch9 cheer squaddies

Farmer's kid here. Primary producers collectively aren't dills. They, better than most, see & understa d sustainable vs unsustainable practices wrought from the landscape. Gas drilling poisoning water sources, mining turning primary ag country into blackfield sites vs grazing around solar/wind farms

John Howard was a key architect in the politicising of the migrant as electoral fodder. He didn't invent racism, but successfully honed it as a political weapon in Aus.

Sunset creating a glowing red hue on the face of the stone walls of the Jodphur fort. Viewpoint towards the distant hills is framed by towering walls on either side of image. Birds taking flight are silhoutted in the sky between the towers.

This farmers kid still chuckling at the memories that elicits...and then pulls a muscle from the reality of dutto PM. Someone sit Albo down with tea & an iced vovo for a stern talking to. In the shed. One of those talks that you REALLY listen to.

Qld. We occasionally vote for sub optimal pollies (& grow a few of our own) but ambo cover has been automatic for residents for as long as I can recall.
And it extends to reciprocal care when interstate.
Qlders who move often learn the hard way this is not uniform across Oz

As did I. Didn't mean access to a GP - more the routine/specialised testing that is just down the road in metro areas, and frequently not so available rurally.
Tyranny of distance - cost/complexity of travel impacts many.
Improving slowly...
