FIRST WITCH
When shall we three meet again?
In thunder, lightning, or in rain?

SECOND WITCH
When the hurly-burlyโ€™s done,
When the battleโ€™s lost and won.

THIRD WITCH
That will be ere the set of sun.

The Greens have secured enviro laws with new protections for native forests & stopped Labor from fast-tracking coal & gas.

Weโ€™ve got outcomes that forest campaigners have fought for across decades.

Weโ€™ve made it harder for big corporations to keep wrecking our environment.

Surely they'd have to ask a friend or neighbour. We had trouble navigating an aged care form for someone a few years ago, and none of us is stupid.

There's no way that she could handle that herself. I think they see aged care as too big a problem, so dip out. And that is nothing short of cruel.

To be silent: entering into solitude...
is an opening onto the only lasting and
authentic access we can have to other people,
to the otherness that is in us, and in others,
like the shadow cast by a star, solar and kindly.

Seems to me that they like messing around with the lives of the people they're meant to serve. Guess older peeps are easy targets.

November ~ John Clare

โ€˜The landscape sleeps in mist from morn till noon;
And, if the sun looks through, 'tis with a face
Beamless and pale and round, as if the moon,
When done the journey of her nightly race,
Had found him sleeping, and supplied his place.โ€™
