Sorry Alan, but only a moron would make such a statement.

I have been here 33 years, so my records become climate. However I have local records going back to 1892.

This year has been the coldest in 60 years, but only the third coldest in 130 years. Strange global warming.

It has been dry too, the third driest in 33 years for the year to date, however that makes it the 4Th driest in 130 years. Interestingly this follows the second wettest in 130 years, last year.

Oh the wettest was 1893, 129 years earlier.

Only a moron, or someone with a barrow to push, could find any trend in any of that, & you don't even have to be a farmer to see garbage.

Forget the climate con. It's all about population .

About 19,300 Australians aged 55 or over are currently homeless, and 440,000 older households will be unable to find or afford suitable housing by 2031, research from the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute shows.

The housing crisis and rising financial stress are pushing more than 1,600 people into homelessness each month.

Between 2020 and 2022, there was a 50% increase in homelessness; a 103% increase in people living in improvised shelter - tents, and rough sleeping; and a 40% increase in short-term temporary accommodation.

Mass immigration is a leading factor in this appalling (for a First World country) situation.

Yes ttbn, it really is getting ridiculous. My youngest daughter is a very well paid professional, working in the defense industry manufacturing sector.

After the divorce she could not maintain house repayments alone, so sold out. Her rent has gone up twice, & is to go up again at the upcoming lease renewal. We are installing a granny flat for her to move into, with daughter next month. It really is not possible for a single income family or single parent to adequately house themselves & live adequately in todays market.

Obviously Albo hates us for making him feel inferior by supplying him with home food & education in his youth, & is running ridiculous immigration numbers to make us pay. How did we ever get such a nasty little person in the lodge.

WTF,

You said "The article states " We estimate that 55 million indigenous people died following the European conquest of the Americas beginning in 1492.

I reckon that 100% of indigenous people from 1492 died after the invasion as none of them are alive today.

“How did we ever get such a nasty little person in the lodge”

It takes an idiot with a ballot paper to do it!

Three cheers for Democracy!
