Not such a big deal in Australia (given our low % of arable land), but a big issue in many  ...

Being only 7 years-old when the mega-hit "Physical" appeared all over our TV screens, I thought it was only about aerobics and being fit and healthy....

Hmmm, maybe it was more to do with something ...

No, I don't believe they should take up arms. Although with most of the country radicalized (left and right) that's always a terrible possibility.

But Hunter Biden is very close to those in power:

...

^^ 100% agree with that last paragraph.  Although I would perhaps add 'arrogance' as a cause for war given the multiple examples in recent years.

If China does invade Taiwan, the question is how long before we stop shipping it to China...

Albo and Penny Wong will have to make a decision, and I can imagine they'll be strong pressure from Wash ...

A very interesting article by one of Trump's former advisors:

There was another conflict many decades ago that had celebrities queuing up for photo ops -

The Spanish Civil War.

Eeeekkkk....

Anyway, when will the FBI ...

Going to spin our original release Vinyl LP of the "Grease" movie soundtrack on our record player tonight....  Olivia was an incredible talent.

Certainly a lot of risk involved in such a raid.  Conspiracy Theorists will be activated.

But it might clear up a few things. Time will tell.

I can't help but think that the USA is looking more  ...

Grace Tame's Twitter comments are cooked atm. That is all.

Worth noting that 707 Ops are looking at running a trip to Darwin some time. N-cars going further than they have ever gone before... Perhaps.
