No one can trust a word of these "conservative" politicians.

Dutton used to say a lot about how he would support a second Voice referendum and even a treaty with Aboriginal during the last Voice referendum. He is not uttering a single word about this any more.

That's why the ex-Pm Malcolm Turnbull called them "Political terrorists".

The Parliament is currently considering changes to the PRRT (Petroleum Resource Rent Tax), but they do not go far enough.

The fact is the #Australian government collects more money from students paying HECS than it does from gas companies paying the PRRT.

Now is the time to increase the #PRRT and make sure #Australia's gas companies are paying their #fair share of #tax

Someone can make this story into a movie. It has everything: mysterious personality, mad dashes across the globe, competition, intrigue, triumph snatched away in the last minute and then recovered, reconciliation, and plenty of chance to use the cliché "ENHANCE" to analyse the #bird photo. 😀

It is my first time trying Casa Mint Lemonade. It is quite delicious. Here is the recipe:

2 oz Blanco Tequila
.5 oz fresh lemon juice
.5 oz simple syrup
8-10 mint leaves

Top off with lemonade

Next time I will use less syrup because lemonade is rather sweet already.

Also I am not sure why the mint is so undue. Should I put in more mint?
