All the gun owners I know in Australia, may not be happy with all the checks, and ongoing checks in regard to their guns ... The hassle in obtaining guns and accessories ... The rules of storage ... The knock on the door by police to do a surprise check on guns and storage ... The hassle with regulations ... Background checks ... But one thing I have never heard one of these people say is "we need less regulations" ... something I do hear from these people is "we understand why"
So Potato has miss fired on his broken promise attack - seems Labor’s changes have got traction in coalition seats - damn it !
Even Newscorp can’t help him…so, they have instructed him to get off his arse and write some policies of his own 😐
The bloke is an unbelievable dud
Can we just #ChamgeTheDate ? Like what is actually stopping me from getting piss drunk the first Monday of Feb and calling it #AustraliaDay Who is gonna stop me?
The thing is about Australian wildlife is that most Aussie animals won’t back down from a fight, but most of them don’t go looking for a fight either.
If you’re worried about visiting Australia because of our deadly fauna, here’s a hint. If you see an Australian animal, walk away from it.
A kangaroo has trouble disemboweling a retreating person because its attack involves rocking back on its tail and kicking you with both feet. It’s not really able to do any damage on something that’s moving away.
Magpies will generally let you know where their territory is, and if you stay out of it while they’re nesting, they won’t knock a hole in your head.
You literally have to get in the water to be bothered by sharks or crocodiles. Swim where the locals swim.
Snakes and spiders are about the only thing that you might happen upon by surprise and they tend to be happy to let you leave, but will happily fuck you up in self defence.
Y’see, Aussie wildlife mostly kills idiots who approach it, try to pat it, or catch it. Our animals mostly kill and maim stupid people.
I guess, my point is, we don’t have anything like lions or bears that will chase you down, pull you out of your car and tear you to pieces.
Also, the chances of being shot in this country is almost non existent.
Australia’s a pretty safe place to visit, comparatively.
there would be a great book concept to be had in charting the cultural history of Australian sausage sizzles (Bunnings, elections, scout groups ect). Someone more motivated than me please write it
@TheDropBear if giant orgs federate, they gain access to monetise all posts that arrive at their servers.
Are we federating for our benefit, or for theirs?
In a small country town, can’t get into local doctor till Tuesday, being driven insane by the itching…
It’s not tinea and it’s not chilblains.
I had occasional itchiness, especially at night, on the top of the second and third toe for a couple of weeks. The last few days, both toes have swollen and the itchiness has become painful/burning and very frequent.
There are no marks, dry skin, growths between the toes etc. it’s not painful to walk. Before they swelled up, there were no visible symptoms at all, just the itching.
I had something similar last winter wearing too tight slippers, and it turned out to be a soft corn between my toes, which I gently filed off for instant relief. But there’s nothing like that this time, and it’s become much worse.
Any ideas? (Particularly hoping for something to at least soothe the itch until I can see the doctor)
