When I was a kid, my parents renovated the Queenslander (an architectural style of house) we were living in.
We had hundreds of asbestos sheets that had been removed and "needed" to be broken up for easier disposal.
My brother and I "karate kicked" to pieces.
There's more to the story, but I'm feeling a bit short of breath...
Of course the NSW police approved a neo-nazi rally....
... they wouldn't want to see their colleagues waste their day off work!

No, I'm not "new to Australia".
The point I was making is that the "duration of our showers" is comparatively insignificant compared to commercial water use and wastage.
Data centres, for AI processing, needlessly waste water resources.
Growing rice and cotton on the world's driest continent seems a bit stupid.
Screwing the geology of the Great Artesian Basin to extract gas seems short-sighted.
There are FAR more pressing concerns than how much water we individuals use while showering. (Sure, there are some small towns or shires where this is a concern.)
Yeah, right. Any water shortages are likely due to personal hygiene requirements of people, and nothing to do with new b.s. AI data processing centres using gigalitres to cool equipment and maintain humidity levels.
Got it.
Of course Kick is Australian. It is arguably INXS' best album.
Wait... what are we talking about??? (Hopefully, it's not a snuff film.)
True. However, that's buried in the 'fine print' of the second verse, and very few people know there is a second verse, let alone the words!
It's slightly less ironic.
The seppos have the world famous Statue of Liberty and a plaque with the words, "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe."
Us Aussies still haven't had the guts to dump the Union Jack from our own flag, let alone establish a bill of rights.
I live in the hope of seeing an ultra-left-wing group demand that the "Greens" change their name due to it being unacceptable "botanical chlorophyllic appropriation".
A small but well-earned round of applause for correctly using "distasteful" rather than "tasteless".
Now, to be clear, if our federal politicians continue down this path towards "identity verification" in order for people to use the web, then I, for one, suggest we overthrow our government, using physical violence if necessary.

I didn't read that specific article, but there is this mob:
