They’re all now wearing masks while they visit.
Tasmanian families have been told to prepare ‘covid safety kits’ with masks, hand sanny and tissues in case of a runny nose’
You guys are so cute.

West Walkers:
Your border is on lock and you’re on high alert looking for anyone dressed in all black or people talking about Bondi. We will stay away.

ACT’ians – they’re getting ready to jab 30-39 year olds with the Pffiiizzzzerr.
From July 21 people can register their interest.
Their po-po also fined 12 uni students from Sydney who entered Canberra without permission.

In the early 1950s Melbourne businessman Isador Magid purchased a machine from the US to create…Twisties! But – it didn’t work very well.. so he contacted the CSIRO! – they gave him some tips and Twisties were born. Always cheese. Chicken is for the bin. Don't @ me about it.
