She's got it good up there in the NT. Plenty of fresh air and being able to walk around, unlike the hotels. We need more of those camps where the virus doesn't spread through a hotel ventilation system but the federal government thought it would be less expensive to let the virus escape and all of New South Wales and Victoria being forced into lockdown to keep the health care system from collapsing after the feds screwed up on getting vaccines.

I'm assuming she flew into the country of her own free will.

Australia has a general rule that native animals are protected and people often don't believe in wildlife management that controls populations, except where the animals impact agriculture and even that is very controversial. They were quite right to bring back the croc population but the challenge will be deciding whether to start limiting the population growth. But this person was making a living from the tourist trade so I don't have a lot of sympathy. It will probably be an entertaining story for his business.

There is one universal common ground for the left and the right: The police are the problem, except when they aren't.

i agree, excessive force isn't good

If you are talking about the scenes of protests in Melbourne, yea, a bunch of dicks keep going out and rioting. The unsubstantiated story is that a lot of troublemakers dressed up in brand new workboots and hi vis to look like tradies. There clearly were some trades people involved, too. The joke is that they found it was too much trouble to go out and protest all day so next time they will just send the apprentices.

There is a nickel mining town in northern Manitoba Canada who adopted the ravens as their mascot - the Thompson Turkeys. They of course were known to hang out at the tip, but also were really good at stealing food from the outdoor dogs. They knew the length of the dog chains so could swoop in, grab something then sit just out of reach.

Haven't had any bin chickens in our paddock in a while. I think the city has been quietly dispatching the ones in the park nearby. Doesn't really make sense to me because the corellas up the gum trees over the path are the real danger to your hair.

 That confirms it, then. I think their range is expanding and there is a plausible suggestion that the Sidney bin chicken population resulted from escapees from a zoo.


And my uncle is from Noosa, nowhere near Adelaide I know, but he played rugby so that was a tip o' the cap to him.

I checked and Adelaide is on the edge of the Australian white ibis range, so you just squeaked in. I was getting set to compare you to those Asian companies who do bad translations of American culture.

Never mind that Adelaide is an Australian Rules Football town. Their team is the Crows so I suppose an ibis would be a good match for rugby. Rugby League, not Rugby Union, of course.
