A couple years ago, I decided not to cut my nose off to spite my face and evaluate the products and hope some shenanigans root kit doesn’t happen after i’ve purchased it

Weird anectode, we used to have 50 acres behind Coffs Harbour (48 acres of bush), when we had excess we’d sell some to the local organic wholesaler.

All around us is complete policy failure (education, health, housing, Climate, environment, tranport etc) over 40-50 years and yet this is rewarded by voters ?
