@3AW693 Absolute rubbish. Victoria is rated AA, second highest credit rating in the country. Victorian economy strongest in the country. Maybe unpleasant for Jeff to see his Libs struggling, so stick to helping them. Vic doesn’t really need his help

@MeckeringBoy I reckon he might have a point. If its getting hotter because gravity is getting stronger it may explain why I’m falling down all the time, especially after sampling last years Cabernet I made 😉

@simonahac Chatting with some female workers from India who’d gained scholarships to postgrad courses from a prestigious University in Texas. They loved the course & lived on campus, but in 18 months they never ventured off campus unless in a group. Some of their stories were hair raising

@Law_Girl_ If Australia had ‘disappeared overnight’ the 31st August 1939, would it have made a difference to the Allied war effort ? Took a collective effort to defeat fascism & our tiny population & resources were invaluable, just like they are in fighting climate change. No time to waste
