Couldn't agree more bout the electric car tax, Hermit. It certainly tarnishes the "green" image about renewable fuels our state government is trying to project...

Well, in some areas they have moved towards renewable energy quite well, in terms of supporting wind and solar, and pushing for a reduction in coal; certainly better than the Federal government. But not in the case of this ill-thought tax...

We have a fucking moronically evangelical as our national leader:

https://www.theage.com.au/national/pm-g ... 57mkb.html
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has suggested social media could be used by “the evil one” to undermine Australian society, telling Christian leaders they are what the country needs right now.

Speaking at the Australian Christian Churches national conference at the Gold Coast last week, Mr Morrison also called out identity politics for being “corrosive” to society, and revealed he used the Pentecostal practice of laying on of hands while meeting people at disaster relief centres.

Is there a lot of Jesus votes to be had in Oz or this just about mopping up the fringes?

I wonder why they are still struggling, Old Nick is always finding new ways to subvert weak souls, rock music, and drugs, and dungeons and dragons, and social media...

Well, if it had wanted us to use technology, metal would exist natively rather than as ores...
