a bizzaire political divide has arisen in Australia where a Koala divide has manifested between coalition partners which may tear the political fabric apart in the most populous state. What is it all about? noone really knows. An obscure piece of legislation requiring farmers to look after koalas is at the centre, and what is more obscure is that the warring factions are conservative and not given to environmental nonsense. The most conservative party, the Nationals, the representatives of the regional areas, and junior coalition partner, has withdrawn support, refusing to support coalition legislation.

This can only be put down to CV madness, there must be more important things to argue about, like why not to allow plague ridden Victorians north of the border any time soon and undoing the damage brought about by fires before the pandemic struck

Despite propaganda saying otherwise, Aussies are as loony as Americans and I'm sure the conservatives there have as good a reason for ignoring big stuff for other stuff.

It's the sun Tal too much light it illuminates the issues, to bear, or not to bear, that is the question, whether it is nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of Gladys, or take arms against the sea of impositions, or by opposing end them. There is the rub

In the end Gladys will continue to lead

got lucky . Drafting last ,I had little options for drafting a top line RB . I know Edwards-Helaire was going to start for KC but had no idea he would have such an impact .

Who are conservationists? the back room boys who snuck in the conservation of trees not used by Koalas? In no way are these people conservatives, they are died in the wool greenies, farther left than liberals and in no way worried about conservation of the Koala population, they want to prevent land clearing for any reason
