ttbn,

"Nothing probable about it east of the Great Dividing Range. Those of us on this side, plus Tasmania, are doing OK"

How do you know?

The year is only three days old and 'probable' is an appropriate word.

Dear Steele,

Thank You for the "welcome back".
We're living in difficult, complex times.
All we can do is try to stay safe and help each
other. I like the Prime Minister's attempts at
unification. It's a worthwhile goal to aim for.

I have no objection to the words - "one and free"
being part of our National Anthem. Although I'm
sure that someone could come up with something
more appropriate - like:

"Australians all let us rejoice
Let us share our history
We've golden soil and wealth for toil
Our home is girt by sea

Our land abounds in nature's gifts
Of beauty rich and rare
In history's page, let every stage
Advance Australia Fair
In joyful strains then let us sing
Advance Australia Fair".

Happy New Year !

Dear Steele,

I've been doing some reading about the minor changes made to
our National Anthem. It's a good way to start 2021.
I've found the words - Australians all let us rejoice
In peace and harmony..." very appropriate.

What do you think?

Yes. "The year is only three days old ....." And look what's happening already. No vaccine (even if there is a good one) until March; then there's Winter. You and I could have both popped our clogs by then.

People seem to be clinging to the 'positive thinking' childishness to avoid reality. The China virus will eventually peter out, but it won't be anytime soon. Everything that the headless chooks have done has failed - lockdowns, masks, social distancing, the wrecking of the economy - nothing has worked.

The only reasons that Australia has done retalitively well are luck, geography and climate. We would have done better if "experts" hadn't advised the rubbish politicians that it wasn't necessary to ban all Chinese entry immediately at the outbreak. The stupidity is all documented. The bloody fools are still allowing people to come in from overseas. They are frantically looking for ways to bring in Chinese students!
