A national address that could have been an email

Well I guess it was as I expected but it was also a lot shorter.

What a dramatic platform to say nothing of substance on

[–] Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 0 points 4 weeks ago

yeah i thought so as well but on the other site they are saying it’s prep work because if the war is going to keep going on as expected the messages are going to keep getting bleaker especially middle of april going into may

Well i think the man's right, we are going to need to deal with this shit as a country, or we are gonna get screwed for real.

What shits me is how the opposition no matter what Labour do always say it's not good enough.

For once i wish they would shut up and try resolve the problem together rather then thinking about getting in small jobs to win the next election

No, that can't be right!

The opposition always rants and raves about what a bad job the government is doing, and then provides a plan forwards, a rational and clear altern.....

Oh.

Oh no.

Sorry, my bad.

Barnaby is no fool, he was very recently and surprising showing humility on skynews(annoyingly) , called out cockatoo opposition noise and admitted to problems he has been a part of in the past. Offering solutions and highlighting serious concerns about food security & transport in areas with zero public transport completely reliant on fuel to get to supermarkets.

Video may be on youtube or something, ill see if I can find it.

Edit: found it. https://youtu.be/LYteFCHJ-wA

Does Pauline, as the leader of the party with supposedly the most votes behind the government, get to give a reply?

Please give me 5 minutes warning to get the popcorn ready. I'd expect nothing less than "They're eating the cats and the dogs!" levels of entertainment!

I wish this wasn't so weak willed. People need to start slowing down but I don't think they will.

I’m not so sure. I drove 3½ hours north to visit my sister in northern Tasmania yesterday, much of it on highways with 110 kph speed limit. I was doing between 90 and 100 mostly, especially when there were overtaking or double lanes. Almost never got overtaken even when there were 4 or 5 cars behind me. It was quite relaxing.

Obviously I don't know why you visited but I think you driving that far for a visit proves my point exactly.

Also just to clarify. I didn't mean to literally slow down. I mean slow down consuming fuel.
