Yes, surprised the word Cobber didn’t come out at this end of April. Especially since so many were yelling to instant grant citizenship/residency without any knowledge of the chaps in question wanting that.
This makes me glad I don't consume much aussie news media
it seems that I'm not missing out on information and have missed all the nastiness
Why don't I watch or read much news? because of decades of experience with the shitshow of aussie media I don't even expect it be news worth watching

That's been my argument against going to Bali for decades. "Why would I want to fly all the way to another country to sit on a beach full of Australians?"
Apparently, the answer is because it's cheaper. I looked at booking a chalet on Rottnest Island over the Christmas break for a week. It's literally cheaper to fly to Bali and stay at a resort for the week.
- That's why I went to Vietnam a few years ago, I couldn't afford Australia.

Ah well my insurance won't cover a nurse on call so I have to look at other options to get my dressing changed. Are there any cheap GPs or other services that could help me with this?! (Somewhere preferably closer to the city / inner SE)

Update: omg the beautiful hospital worker got back to me saying that I can't go without the dressing so the hospital will cover the costs for the first 3 visits 😭 that's so nice of her to do that for me!!

My first banned from a sub in reddit. It had to be latestagecapitalism . 😂 I mocked a poster for antisemitism, which was not funny.

- I mean, we don't really have that either. If it weren't such an anomalous event, it wouldn't be getting wall-to-wall coverage for days.
