I think it was mostly listening to self help books and taking some hip hop dance classes, so they skipped over it.

The film continues to play on the big screen despite the tear down the middle, the projectionist doesn’t care, the audience is asleep.

There’s also the moral element of pumping more climate altering carbon.

Possibly, but announcing it on the Friday before the awards has circumvented any avenues we may have had.

Platypodes?
I think we can choose either platypus or platypuses as the plural. Platypi sounds more fun to me.

I’m trying to resist crankiness too. I think it’s ok to let the cranky out occasionally, it’s a valid response to some situations.

Same policy throughout though. Rebranded, same policy. Same results.

The belief that it’s a two evil choice is the real problem.

Rebranding the Morrison gas led recovery doesn’t really change the policy. Labor voters knew what they were voting for.

By the way, your original question about using the word old as a pejorative is a point well made. I don’t think I was in this case, but I may have in the past and will keep an eye on it.

So many of the people ruining our lives, Murdoch, Trump, Putin, Netanyahu, those lunatics in Iran, Modi, Xi, have had over seventy years to learn some wisdom and to seek peace, instead they’ve decided more belligerence is a better option. I can’t understand what drives them.

Winston Peters and his ilk were born with outdated views and eighty years hasn’t mellowed them.

One night I got lost in the Peanut Farm, couldn’t recall which way my home was. It took me two hours to get home, fifteen minutes away. I think I was just walking laps of the cricket oval. I still can’t work out why I couldn’t work it out.

Walk down from the junction, crest Grey Street, look down the hill to the bay, wander past memories of decades of coffees and gigs and Jacqueline and youth, nod and smile with the ghosts of rock and roll past, head on down to the pier to let the salt air purify the past from my hair and my soul.

And now the NSW Liberals are looking to that crook for guidance. What a disaster of a party.

Just like Bob Carr.
And we’re still paying out those generous contracts, just borrowing the money would have been better for us.

I think they needed to sort out that tram stop, it was dangerous before.

And he didn't just jump ship.
He left for Macquarie Bank: www.afr.com/politics/sto...
Which became a global empire by buying privatised assets in highly leveraged deals: www.themonthly.com.au/july-2007/es...
And for folks in the UK, that included Thames Water: www.theguardian.com/business/202...

And we’ve all paid for it for decades, especially rural areas.
There’s also the thing that he jumped ship when he knew it was sinking, he held no beliefs at all, it was all self serving.
