It's always a grim reality check to see how easily foreign nations influence Australia. I hope everyone doubles down and keeps saying the phrase.

Kudos to you, students 🩷

This whole situation is just ludicrous. We should all be wearing t-shirts with euphemisms like "From the puddle to the pond", "From the sink to the bathtub", "From the creek to the brine", "From the jug to the lake" (can you think of others?). See if they arrest us all.

I often used to wonder how Australia had never gone the way of America in many things. It now seems that they were just a few years behind them.
