#ICYMI: Jane Caro on the difficulties in making decision on COVID: "The virus doesn't have a plan, it doesn't have a strategy, it's doing what it's doing.... We have to put looking after the health of the community ahead of the economy." #TheDrum

Hundreds of Aboriginal people now infected with COVID, including children and hearing some elders hospitalised. Absolutely terrifying situation, this should have never happened.

The compromise for opening up seems to be an unequal one. Are we doing enough to protect those most vulnerable?

very strong speech from Jacqui Lambie, bluntly opposing One Nation's vaccine mandate "discrimination" bill: "that's the way it is. We do that to keep people safe. How about that?" #auspol

A baby went to a 4th of July parade & left an orphan. The way we’re living in this country makes zero sense..

SInce the RBA last hiked in December & signalled it would be cautious with further hikes, inflation is lower than the RBA was forecasting, unemployment higher, GDP lower. Go figure...

A big shout out to everyone apologising for shitbagging me when I said RBA was on hold in April and that a 4.1% peak cash rate in market pricing was absurd. I hope those who had the same call as me are enjoying a fine wine with your profits ... I know I am. Cheers!
