Lots of news about petrol prices this morning. Not a lot of discussion about how the infrastructure of our whole country probably shouldn't rely on whether a handful of awful people in the middle east like us or not. Our reliance on cars and trucks here makes us weak #auspol #petrol #trains

Get your friends to cut your hair this weekend. Not the professional ones. Not those who are good at it. & Not to save money. But because the world is running out of truly unique haircuts. Fight back against big normal. Be something different, defy category

Adopting rightwing policies ‘does not help centre-left win votes’

Watching the new documentary “Fukushima: A Nuclear Nightmare” (Crave/HBO). It’s really well done. So much footage of quake I’ve not seen (watched loads of YouTube) & the case against Tokyo Electric Power Company is damning. Quake, tsunami then an entirely human-made disaster.
